Holiday Ken Is Here To Stay!
on November 4, 2025
Posted by: Ele KT
from Michigan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This handsome Ken has a wonderful face screening. I love that he is not pixelated. Holiday Ken is on a model muse body with the basic five points of articulation; making him perfect for display. I love the suit colors. However, I wish it were a different material with a hook or snap in the front of the jacket. I like that the shirt and jacket are two separate pieces. The elastic to keep the shirt tucked in is chef’s kiss. Please bring back Holiday Ken every year!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hunter from EAH has become a grown man!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Holiday Ken for 2025 was a very anticipated doll for me because I was excited to see the different choices available for Ken. I choose the Ken who matched the Ever After High Doll Hunter that Mattel had discontinued years ago. Out of the box, his hair is very plastered with gell or glue because it's going no where. His printing was flawless on the sides of his face and I like his almost smirking grin. His features are not pixelated and there's no discoloration in the plastic used to create his body.
I was very disappointed that he has limited articulation. Movement at the head, shoulders and hips, something I would expect from a basic Ken. His jacket was nice though the plastic tab puts a hole in the fabric and to keep it closed I will have to stitch on a snap. I really appreciate that the shirt and jacket are separate pieces! The shirt is Velcro in the front but in order to remove it you have to cut the stitch at the bowtie. Another snap I will have to add. The pants are a magnet for lint but I love that they are not shorts.
The doll is still the good quality I expect from Mattel and I love that this doll could be a relative of the Hunter doll from Ever after High. There's not a perfect skin match to existing made to move Ken dolls but I did swap his body with the Signature Looks doll with long brown hair. I needed more articulation.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Holiday Ken
on October 13, 2025
Posted by: Bren
from California
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that Mattel decided to finally make a Holiday Ken this year! I love the face mold and screening on this doll. The clothes are also pretty good quality and are separate pieces and are hemmed. He has the 5 points of articulation model muse body, so he does not have the best articulation for play, but he's good for a collector that wants to display him. He also comes with a stand which makes it easier to display him. Overall I think this is a great choice for a holiday gift for any Barbie or Ken collectors.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very fun Ken for 2025!
on October 15, 2025
Posted by: ThereseC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very fun toy. My girls (7 &9) love his outfit, and played for hours with him and their Barbies. I thought it was very nice that it came with a display pedestal for if they want to have their Ken standing up for a game or something, or if they wished to display him later on. The only issue they had was that he doesn’t appear to be wearing socks, which they thought was weird, but they aren’t into current fashions.

Holiday Ken
on October 15, 2025
Posted by: Gigi M
from Massachusetts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Ken is dressed for the Holidays. Ken's clothes are a quality material showing off Ken's stylish fashion sense. A gold satin suit jacket with black lapel and a white dress shirt. A black bow tie along with black suit pants and a pair of black loafers, makes Ken's outfit perfect to celebrate the Holidays.
The doll is sturdy yet easy to pose at the shoulders and hips, he does have limited articulation in his arms and legs, as they are already posed.
Ken's hair is short and tight, keeping his hair looking perfect all the time, even after hours of play, Ken remained well kept.
Ken comes with a stand to display him if that is more your style.
My grandchildren loved playing with Ken along with Barbie.
This Ken will help grow confidence and kindness with his friendly smile.
This doll is gender neutral, both my granddaughters and grandson enjoyed playing with Ken.
Ken adds a little more adventure and imagination to play time with Barbie.
Ken adds a festival addition to your collection. Whether you want display him handsomely in your collection or play with him along with other Holiday Ken dolls and Barbie.
This Ken doll also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity for the collector.

Great Doll!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 2025 Ken doll is a welcome addition to my collection. He comes in a three piece outfit, shirt, jacket and pants, as well as a pair of black loafers. He is on the model muse body and has limited articulation with movement at the head, shoulders and hips. I would have loved to have him on a made to move body.

A Well-Timed Holiday Debut for Ken!
on October 18, 2025

from Princeton, Indiana
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A wonderful addition to any Barbie lover’s collection! My granddaughter was all smiles when she saw him. Immediately, grabbed him and paired him up with Barbie for an evening of fun. Love his model look…Ken looks stylish, modern, and totally party-ready in his gold satin jacket with black lapels, black pants, black bow tie, and black shoes. Outfit fits perfectly. Head moves nicely for posing. Love that Ken finally gets his moment in the Holiday limelight.
