on Ken, but
VINTAGE CLONES
The earlier Bob (below left) was a standard boy doll with babyish body and huge glassy eyes. In 1962 he miraculously transformed into a tall slender youth, with a body almost identical to Ken’s (below right). Bob by Uneeda for W.T. Grant Co. in original packaging. 1962 Bob by Uneeda for W.T. Grant Co.1973 MOD HAIR KEN
1973 Mod Hair Ken. MOD HAIR KEN #4224. The brand new doll for 1973 was Mod Hair Ken, the first Ken since 1961 with ‘real’ hair. He also came with stick-on facial hair: a beard, moustaches and sideburns. He was mostly produced in Hong Kong, but some were made in Taiwan.1977 THE OUTFITS
1977 The Outfits. 1977-78 were hit-and-miss years for Ken clothing, a kind of in-between fashion period, which doesn’t quite achieve its own clear identity. Still, there are a few gems here, including one of my all-time favorites, Get-Ups ‘N Go #9744. All outfits wereproduced in Korea.
1961 FLOCKED HAIR KENS INCLUDING THE 'BROWNETTE' KEN 1961 Flocked hair Kens including the ‘brownette’ Ken. HE’S A DOLL!™ – Mattel copyrighted this line to introduce Barbie’s boyfriend Ken in March 1961, through the trade magazines Playthings and Toys & Novelties and at the American International Toy Fair in New York. The first Kens were issued with red shorts (with white stripesdown
1964 KEN AND HIS BUDDY ALLAN THE US-MADE KENS ‘Shorty’ Kens now also came with the new-style box inserts. The beach jackets were now usually labelled. The ‘shorty’ Ken was originally marked on the rear with his own unique patent stamp, but after the introduction of Allan during 1964 all male dolls, including the ‘shorties’, were given the same basic stamp (see the THE VINTAGE KEN ® BOOK) which then remained 1986-87 DEREK & KEN ROCKERS 1986-87 Derek & Ken Rockers. A new line for 1986 was the pop band series of dolls and clothing called Barbie and The Rockers. Originally, the only male member was a new boy called Derek. Ken (with the Jewel Secrets Ken head-mold) was added in 1987, along with a second version of Derek. Mattel Spain produced their own unique Dereksand Ken.
1972 WALK LIVELY KEN, & (TALKING) BUSY KEN WALK LIVELY KEN #1184. Walk Lively Ken’s arms and head turn if you move his legs.In Germany he was also known as Geh-mit-Ken and in the Netherlands as Loop-met-Ken.He came with his own unique ‘walking’ stand.

The second version of The Now Look Ken is made of an inferior plastic and has quite a ghastly skin tone, but is certainly better-looking. His rooted hair is shoulder-length, and he has rear-facing hands. There are also minimal differences in the outfit, with a lighter scarf, darker buttons, and trousers which are cut looser around the hips. 1981 GOLDEN NIGHTS/DISCO KEN & WESTERN KEN 1981 Golden Nights/Disco Ken & Western Ken. GOLDEN NIGHTS/SOIR DORÉS or DISCO KEN #3208. This Ken was made in the Philippines. He has side-pointing hands and unusual caramel-colour hair.

1963 The Outfits. Several great new Ensemble and Fashion Paks were produced for 1963, mostly sports- and profession-based.

1964 is arguably the best year for vintage Ken clothing. As well as loads of new regular outfits and accessories, Mattel also produced a Travel Costume Series and a Little Theatre Costume Series (the original TV commercial for this series is on Youtube).Several earlier outfits were still being produced, and some were reissued with slightvariations.

This website was originally designed to showcase my collection of vintage Kens, his friends, and their outfits. It has since expanded to become the most informative and thoroughly researched resource for male fashion dolls and clothing from 1961 to 1987, with almost 5000images.
The collection concentrates on Ken, but includes Mattel’s Allan, Brad, Curtis, and even Donny Osmond and the Heart Family dad, as they were all designed to wear Ken’s clothing. Various clone copies of Ken and other, non-Mattel, male fashion dolls are also mentioned here, but as there is very little documentary evidence available these sections are very much work-in-progress. As a guide for collectors, the site presents the basic facts of ‘what, where & when’. I am not affiliated to Mattel in any way. The information is derived from my own ongoing research, so is liable to change as new facts come to light. Original documents such as mail-order catalogues, department store guides, Mattel promotional material, and obviously the items themselves, are all helping me piece it together. In almost every case I include these documents in order to authenticate my research. Additionally, items and variations I didn’t know existed are still constantly turning up. To assist other collectors and complete the picture, I have included photos of some catalogues and original packaging I do not personally own – thanks, by the way, to everyone who has sent me scans and photos over the years. All dolls and outfits are for reference purposes only. For more detailed information and photos about the vintage years check out THE VINTAGE KEN® BOOK,
available as a PDF. Beautifully illustrated throughout, it shows every genuine Mattel Ken and Allan doll and outfit from 1961-1967. It can be bought and downloaded here.
It is great hearing from other collectors! Do you need help identifying something? Have you discovered a rare variation which is missing here? Have I made an error in a description? Do you have additional information to provide? Do you have a foreign Ken I have not mentioned? I am particularly grateful for good scans from catalogues and booklets, which I am missing or have only in bad quality. Please write/send pictures to: contact@somethingabouttheboy.com.
