[peanut butter puddin surprise]

i find this hilarious...

[whothrewthecake]

hmmmmm did george michael get ahold of him?  :P

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

apparently!  i don't remember ken being so...effeminate.

not that there's anything wrong with that...

That new Ken looks like they had too many extra Barbie heads lying around and they wanted to use them up.

I am more familiar with the 1980s Ken.  I had the cowboy Ken and he came with a horse.

[dragonboy]

70's Ken - WTF  ???

My brother had that.  We used to mix and match.

damn ken was living! i want one of those in my real life.

[tomEisenbraun]

oh man. i'm bout to divulge some sensitive information here.

I, no joke, got the Barbie camping set for Christmas in 92 or so. I remember Ken's hair being a lot less flamboyant than the 90's Ken that they showed there. It now looks like his neck is longer, his shoulders are losing some serious breadth, and his hair could be your mother's.

This is bad.

This is too funny! Maybe Ken's new look can give us some clues as to why he and Barbie broke up.

[tomEisenbraun]

his beautifully manly jaw is shrinking too.  :(

[EC]

I don't actually think that's the 2000's Ken.  I think it's the Justin Timberlake action figure.

Hm.  

I wonder what the My Morning Jacket action figures would look like...  

[dragonboy]

Is this Jim, Patrick or Tommy? I'm not sure...

[dragonboy]

No wait, I like this one better!

[dragonboy]

Carl...

[EC]

No. way.

Holy moly.  I found the site that you were looking at dragonboy.  http://www.trainupachild.com/cgi-bin/shopnow.cgi?ACTION=thispage&thispage=new-figures.html&ORDER_ID=552244516
Woah.

maybe we could petition the band to come up with some MMJ action figures...that would kick ass as hell!

But expensive.  You could spend years saving for the omnichord special set, or the Flying V, or the "very special" double egg drumstick with black tape. ;)
