MATTEL DROPS KEN DOLL FROM 2010 LINE!

BFMC Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken

Abruptly, Mattel announced that "the Palm Beach Ken doll was a preliminary concept, and is not moving forward as part of the 2010 Barbie Fashion Model Collection. The doll will not be manufactured".

Earlier, Mattel was quoted as saying "It's a legitimate concept that leaked out," said Michelle Chidoni, Mattel spokesperson. "The collector community has a message board (Barbiecollector.com) and this doll concept leaked onto the message board."

We've explored this character, but it's not finalized," she added. "The concepts that we're talking about now are for 2010-2011. This was a character we explored and that's the long and short of it. But these aren't dolls you'll see at Toys R Us."

The doll made it as far as dealer sites with a model number (T3285) and a release date of April 2010 and approximate price of $70. After that, Palm Beach Ken made quite the rounds on celebrity blogs, mostly sexualizing and stereotyping the concept.

If you happen to be one of these media sorts looking for a quote or sensational angle from Keeping Ken, this website's official comment is "We are sorry Palm Beach Ken won't be joining Barbie on the beach scene!"


Sizzling with silver streaked hair and seen walking the pooch "Sugar", this doll was highly anticipated by not only Ken collectors, but collectors of the BFMC (Barbie Fashion Model Collection) line. He would have been the third Ken doll in this line following his predecessors Fashion Insider Ken Doll Giftset (2002) and Barbie Fashion Model Collection 45th Anniversary Gift Set (Barbie® and Ken®) (2003). It's been a long wait, but Mattel promises that Ken will be represented soon in the BFMC line!
