Great Fashion & Great Learning

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fashionistas are such a fun and diverse line of dolls! My boys received this doll and another summer-themed Ken doll to kick off summer vacation and both were a hit. The boys thought "Malibu" was a silly-sounding word and kept repeating it, which was kinda funny. I turned it into a geography lesson (well...for 5 minutes) and we used their technology to find out where Malibu was, how far from us, and the difference between a country, state, and city. My sons were also surprised that the doll had a pink swimsuit, but decided it was cool that he would standout at the pool. We are a multiracial family, so we've had talks about skin color, and this doll prompted a really neat discussion about having two skin colors and diversity. We also role played this doll asking to join the group of dolls and the group of dolls asking this doll to join them. In no time, this doll was part of the undercover SWAT team racing monster trucks at the beach, surviving epic accidents, and caught up in the soap opera-ish web of relationship doll drama.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My children all enjoyed playing with this Ken doll, and it started some great conversations with my 4 year olds about why some people may look ‘different’ but are still the same on the inside! I love the idea of inclusion within the Barbie brand and hope to continue to see more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My girls loved the Barbie Ken fashionistas doll! They have a lot of Barbies but not many Kens so they play with him all the time. I would definitely recommend the Barbie Ken fashionistas doll to everyone!

This is great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter has enjoyed playing with this Ken Fashionista doll. This specific doll is fashioned after someone who has the skin condition of Vitiligo. While we do not know anyone with this condition, it is great to include dolls of various walks of life. We hope this helps teach our daughter that there are people who may look different physically, but are actually not different as people. The doll itself is well crafted and I can imagine it will hold up for years to come.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this doll. It's fun to play with. I have a friend that looks like this. It's nice to see others with disabilities or skin conditions represented. It makes it seem more like real life. I really like it and I would like to see more.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overcoming obstacles with this ken
on June 12, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product and was amazed by Kens added features. Showing people with disabilities can be challenging and this product makes a stance as well as a great collector with the Malibu shirt. Overall this product is great for play and a collection. His back story can be a wonderful way for children to learn and accept more disabilities without judgment.

Different is great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this Ken doll for one particular reason. He clearly suffers from vitiligo. This is a teaching opportunity to parents everywhere to show that being different is normal. My daughter is 3 and she noticed his difference. However, we spoke about it and how sometimes you can see peoples differences. We should never treat them as less than because of that. Ken is now a regular play item and she is no longer concerned about his looks. Yes, he is a different toy but to her, he is just a toy to be friends with Barbie. Rarely are parents given such a good teaching toy for tolerance.

Ken Fashionistas doll #192 is Unique.
on June 9, 2022

from Las Vegas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ken Fashionistas doll #192 is a handsome doll with a skin condition. The children aged 3-5 were very interested in his different skin and described that he was "Cool" because he is different from other Ken dolls. They stated he has a face mask on all the time. The children accepted that he was different immediately. I think this doll offers a great opportunity for parents and grandparents to talk with children about how everyone is different and that it important not to judge someone by the way they look.
I would recommend this to a friend!
