Doll-A-Day 298: Clone Wars Week:Flocked Hair Ken Clone

  Today's Clone Week doll is this guy.

He's an almost perfect replica of the original Ken doll, who had flocked hair.

UPDATE: A kind reader has commented and sent a link,(See below in the comments.),to let us know that this is Tracy Sue's boyfriend Bob. Tracy Sue was a Barbie clone.

His flocked hair is thick, and actually looks like it might last better than the real Ken's. (Certainly better than my Ken's. The husband, that is. His hair is fading fast.)

He's jointed at the neck, shoulders, and hips.

He has a great suit. It's nicely made.Unfortunately the shoes are only painted on.

The shirt has no sleeves though, and the tie ends where the jacket closes.

Sorry about the sideways thing again.

His only markings are the Made in Japan on his back.

Yes, he's an almost exact copy of Ken...except for one thing:

This isn't a flocked hair Ken, but you get the idea.

Surprise!

This little guy is only 7 1/2" tall!

"Hey little man. What's up?' "You are, stupid."

I love this little guy! I actually have another one who's wearing a white dinner jacket, but I like this one best.When I found them at an auction I had to have them.

If anybody knows this guy's name, let me know.

Tomorrow we'll see another clone doll.

Doll-A-Day 295: Clone Wars Week: Ken Clone Don or Ronnie/Tommy?

  Today's clone doll is this Ken clone.

Looks like he's lost a little weight. Those boxers are a size or two too big.

I've had all kinds of trouble identifying this guy. Is he Don by Davtex? He looks like Don, but he doesn't have any markings on his back, like 'Don' supposedly does.

Unlike Ken this guy has side glance eyes.

Maybe he's Ronnie or Tommy by Plastic Molded Arts,also known as PMA. It's hard to tell, because Don and Ronnie/Tommy used the same molds.I don't think Ronnie had any marking though, so it's probably Ronnie or Tommy .

He has a soft vinyl head and arms and hollow plastic torso and legs.

He has a crew cut, like early Ken dolls.

He's about 12" tall, just like Ken.
Check in tomorrow for another clone doll.
