I'm just getting this one in under the wire to count as today! Yesterday Lori had her heart procedure which went very well. Let's hope this one takes and she can forget about the heart problems. She wasn't allowed to drive herself home form the hospital yesterday,so I took her home and stayed to help out. Ken came to pick me up today,and we stayed so he could connect her Roku up for her,and I helped her sort out the last of her dad's things. So we got home a bit late.
Yesterday we saw Maxie, and the day before, her friend Ashley. Today we're taking a look at Maxie's boyfriend Rob.
Rob seems to be harder to find than Maxie or Ashley. This is the only one I have ever seen in person.

Maxie and Rob,together again. |
He doesn't have his original clothes.He's been redressed in Ken clothes.
Rob has some BIG hair.
Rob is 12" tall. He's the same size as Ken, but comes off bigger. Like Ashley and Maxie, Rob seems beefier overall than the Mattel counterpart. Maybe it's because he's muscled.

He has some big arms and hands. |

Rob on the left,4oth anniversary Ken on the right. You'll have to excuse what seems to be Rob's dirty hands. Rob is actually Emma's. When she moved out, he was left in the basement for a few years,until I rescued him after a basement flood. He was pretty mildewed by then and had to be scrubbed with baking soda and a baby toothbrush. But even
those can't work miracles. |
Rob has big hair,but that's not why his head looks bigger than Ken's. His whole head is big.
Rob looks big,but if he went to the beach and met Tuesday Taylor's boyfriend Eric, he'd be getting sand kicked in his face.
With his big head he might be able to outwit pinheaded Eric though. You can see my post on Eric

"Bring it on!" |
At least Rob is a little different looking from Ken and most other male dolls of the era. He can add some variety,if you don't mind guys with big hair.
That's it for the Maxie line. Tomorrow we'll look at a very different doll.
