The 15th Dr. Who

The 15th Dr. Who was released in 2025.

I was not interested in this doll when it was released in 2025. Recently, after taking another look at his online pictures and clothes and realizing how seldom decent-looking male doll clothes are available, I decided I needed him. I found him on eBay for a reasonable (make-offer) price.

His full-length in-box picture illustrates his outfit completely.

Spreadsheet Description: 12-inch articulated Ken as the 15th Doctor Who in the BBC's Doctor Who series, portrayed by Rwandan-Scottish actor Mizero Ncuti Gatwa, has a painted black crew cut, brown-painted eyes, a black mustache, and a closed mouth. Wears an orange, blue, and rust striped shirt, royal blue pants, a brown faux leather trench coat, and white low-top tennis shoes trimmed in red around the laces and royal blue near the toe tips. Includes a doll stand and a COA.

Mizero Ncuti Gatwa, who plays the role of the 15th Dr. Who in the BBC series of the same name, is featured on the box side panel.

A full-length picture of the doll and a description of Dr. Who's role is on the back of the box.

The back of the box describes the 15th Dr. Who as fashion-forward.

His clothes did influence this purchase, but my initial plan was to redress another doll in them.  

He's been unboxed, and for now, he will keep his clothes. 

Dr. Who unboxed

I gathered all the guys in my collection that use the same head sculpt for two group pictures.

In the two pictures above, Dr. Who (far right) poses with Barbie Basics Model 17 Ken, the Texas A&M Cheerleader, and redressed Ken Looks #25; all share the New Basic Ken Sculpt. See Looks 25 in his original clothes here.

Two Kens that use the New Basic Ken sculpt are missing from my collection, and they will remain missing.

Looks Ken #25 Gets Redressed

Looks Ken #25 sizes up a male fashion doll clothing package.

I knew I would redress Barbie Looks Ken #25, but finding clothes for him might pose a problem because of his buff body. I ordered a 32-piece clothing and accessories set for him (sold/made in China) a few weeks ago hoping that everything would fit him. Some of it does, but just as I feared, several pieces do not.

The set includes two jackets, four shirts,...

...four pairs of pants, and an athletic set.

The accessories include four pairs of boots, two pairs of loafers, two headsets, two pairs of identical sunglasses, and seven hangers.

The hats are too small!

I'm not sure which doll the cowboy hats are scaled to fit, but they certainly do not fit Ken. I tried one on Looks #21 Barbie, and it doesn't fit her either. Vintage Skipper's head is too large for the hats. Maybe a Kelly doll with straight hair can wear these if I don't find another use.

The boots and shoes are shown closeup.

The white boots fit snugly with a slight gap in the back. The others fit nicely. Both black shoes are too small. He'd develop bunions if I forced the tapered-toe loafers on his feet. I won't do that to Ken. 

Both pairs of identical black-framed glasses fit and the headsets fit. 

All the shirts fit, but only one pair of separate pants fit Ken (sigh), the aqua plaid, which only suits his taste for lounging around the house. 

Ken models three of the shirts with the aqua plaid pants in the next three photos:

A graphic tee

A white muscle shirt

Another graphic tee

Ken is still wearing the aqua plaid pants.

Next, Ken tried on the black faux leather jacket and a different pair of black boots. He determined he could pull this look off outside the house.

The tan pleather jacket

The tan pleather jacket is too small. Ken looks like he's wearing his little brother's clothes.

Made of jersey knit, the athletic outfit works well for Ken's muscular body.

Ken looks good in the white athleisure outfit. The opening in the back and Velcro closure make the top easier to put on and off. Note the gap in the back of the snugly fitting white boots. 

On the left, Ken is so happy he's found something he'd like to wear that he's doing the Carlton dance.

Worn with black boots, a two-piece hand-sewn fashion by Shasarignis received last year will give Ken something to wear in cooler weather. He tried it on with and without the jacket with one of the muscle shirts from the 32-piece set.

Slender-bodied Kens can wear the pants that do not fit #25's muscular body. 

Looks Ken #4

Because of his slender body, Looks Ken #4 wanted to try on some of the clothing. 

Ken #4 wears the black jacket.

The black jacket fits him. His heels tend to slide up in the back of these loafers. He cannot wear the tapered-toe loafers.

The tan jacket

The tan jacket pairs well with the orange boots and his original white shirt and pants. 

A graphic tee shirt

The gray graphic tee and dark denim jeans are worn with #25's silver boots. Ken #4 can wear these jeans with all the other shirts in the set and with any of the boots. 

Another graphic tee

Above, a black "Luck" graphic tee is worn with black pants and black boots.

Ken says, "no" to these skin-tight camo pants.

The gray camouflage pants fit like leggings; so, they are a "no" for us. One of the girls can probably wear these.

The aqua plaid pants fit slightly looser on Ken #4.

This Ken agrees that lounging in the aqua plaid pants is the only way he will wear these.

The guys pose for a final photo.

Hot summer weather aside, these "fits" are the chosen looks for both guys. 

Stretch or knit clothes or clothing made for muscular dolls work best for Ken #25. Ken #4 is not as difficult to redress provided the pants are long.

The 32-piece set is worth the $14 I spent on T--u, but I wish #25 could wear more of the pants.
