DOLL/PLAYSET PARTICULARS AND
THOUGHTS:
The Ken-ergy radiating from this doll is supposed to be on
par with Barbiecore! Together they create a synergy that is unbeatable!
Starting with details of his face, it is no different than the other blonde Ken
dolls in this collection. Outside of the dark-haired Ken, this one is based
upon the likeness of one actor from the movie. And he is only a close
resemblance, not an exact one. In my previous article about
this Ken doll, I covered his face mold and body type in great detail. To
briefly recap, it is the same face and same 12 point articulated male
fashionista body. There is no articulation in the ankles. The feet are still
flat, and potentially sturdy enough to stand without the use of a doll stand.
Nothing has changed here except for his clothes. This may or not be a great
concern for some people.
I do like his clothes! They are very 90s and reminiscent of
those old black and white Calvin Klein billboard ads. He is wearing a light
blue denim sleeveless vest jacket with no shirt underneath. He is topless and
the front of the vest is open giving a view of his plastic chest. He is also wearing
a matching pair of light blue denim pants with the elastic band from his
underwear showing above the waistline of the pants. Embroidered around the
elastic band is Ken. I think it is rather clever decision to select this style
of fashion because it is a mix of both cheesy and sexy while just works for
both the doll and the live action counterpart from the movie. Ryan Gosling took
promotional shots in the exact same outfit, and he looks awesome. This doll
does have the potential to become an iconic doll for Mattel. The demand for
this doll is already very high even though the movie has not been released yet
and this has been going on since it was released at the beginning of June 2023.
More on this later in the review.
I do envision very high end, supermodel style photo shoots
with this doll! One could outright pose him exactly like he was modeling for
Calvin Klein ads or have him relaxing at him getting some yard work done in his
backyard. Having him take a long stroll on a boardwalk would look good too.
There seems to be no shortage of fun little scenarios for this one!

MY DOLL/PLAYSET FROM TARGET:
My Barbie the Movie 2023 Ken Doll Denim Matching Set (HRF27)
was purchased at a later time from my other Barbie The Movie doll/playset
collectibles on June 4th, 2023. I had selected preorder and once processed it
was shipped and delivered to me on June 21st. This doll was packaged and
shipped inside of a Target box. This doll took a while to get to me because
Target like Amazon more than likely got over flooded with orders from customers
and was having difficulty keeping up with supply and demand. From a collector's
perspective, he is a great purchase. I do wish that he came with other
accessories though!
In person, I do like the quality of denim they used for this
doll! It is great to be purchasing items that are at a different quality standard
than play line! I hope to see more of this quality on the market!
This Barbie the Movie 2023 Ken Doll Denim Matching Set
(HRF27) is currently being sold online at Mattel Creations, Walmart,
Amazon, and Target. Depending upon the store, the price ranges from $49.97 to
$50.99 before tax and shipping and handling. They sell out quickly on Amazon
and are sold out on Mattel's site. Keep searching the different online options
until you finally secure yours for delivery. It will also appear on online
auction too as well like eBay but the prices are sometimes twice and triple the
current retail value. If you need it now or it is not for sale in your area
then please purchase wisely.
I will update in the future with further details as more
information becomes available to me.
Are you interested in him? No, silly! Not to date but to purchase! If
so, then go here to get him now! Don't keep
him waiting! Announcement: IS AVAILABLE... TO PURCHASE. (Clarification ends.)
