LeBron James Ken *Update*

LeBron James Ken is the 1st doll in the Kenbassador series.

Mattel Creations website changed the release time. See blue text below.

I had to temporarily leave my month-of-April hiatus to share the upcoming April 14th at 12:01 a.m. ET (or 11 p.m. CST and 9 p.m. PT on the 13th) Mattel Creations release of the LeBron James Ken. Quantities are also scheduled to be in some Target stores on April 14th and on Amazon and other sites on April 15th. 

Cost: $75

Details and buy links (from a Facebook #ad post by Stacelina Monique):

"Underneath the jacket, LeBron is wearing a black We Are Family T-shirt from his foundation, along with black and white houndstooth pants and blue and white Nike Air Jordans.

"Some notable details of the doll are a pair of black Beats headphones, a gold watch, a green I Promise wristband, a black cap, a black pair of sunglasses, and a black crossbody fanny pack.

"Listings, dolls are not in stock yet.

[In the U.S.,] You can get it here: https://amzn.to/4icdVOw

Collectors from the UK can get it here:

"Collectors from Canada can get it here:

This is huge because this is the first Ken in the Kenbassador series and because the doll has garnered intense interest from doll collectors, sports enthusiasts, and LeBron James fans. I foresee purchasing attempts to be hectic and  frustrating for many who will not be able to purchase due to exhausted initial quantities, yet quite exhilarating for those who can purchase it without a hitch. The hunt and chase will definitely be on for this doll!

Glam Squad Fashions Modeled

From left to right, these Glam Squad fashions from Five and Below are Strawberry Shortcake (Orange Blossom), Street Wear, and Autumn Vibes. 

A selection of Barbies modeled Glam Squad (GS) fashions, and a Xian Xian Super Fashion Model tried on shoes from two GS clothing packs. The Glam Squad Yoga doll remains in the box. 

The GS Orange Blossom fashion includes two fashions but only one pair of shoes.

Varsity Plaiditude (Fashionista 91) Barbie and Barbie Fashionista 82 model the Orange Blossom fashions.

The doll on the left wears shoes made for 11-1/2-inch fashion dolls and the sunglasses from the GS Street Wear pack. Otherwise, both dolls wear pieces from the Orange Blossom fashion pack, which included only one pair of shoes.

The Street Wear fashion pack includes black-framed sunglasses, a red bucket hat, a white crop top, a letterman jacket, white sneakers, a fanny pack, and star-print stretch denim jeans. 

Minus the sunglasses, Barbie Fashionista #5 models the GS Street Wear fashion pack.

The Autumn Vibes GS fashion pack includes orange sunglasses, a black and white checkered coat, white high heels, a white crop top, a faux straw purse, and denim Capri pants.

Fashionista #206 looks cute in the Autumn Vibes fashion.

Fashionista #206 wears the complete Autumn Vibes fashion.

All four divas posed together.

Xian Xian Super Fashion Model signals for you to"stop."

In my previous Glam Squad Doll and Fashions post, I wrote, "...the shoes fit the Xian Xian Super Fashion Model dolls." One of the dolls tried on a white high heel and an orange high heel from the Autumn Vibes and Orange Blossom fashion packs. 

Unfortunately, the shoes do not fit this Xian Xian doll.

I edited the statement in the previous post about the GS shoes fitting Xian Xian dolls because they do not.
