actually while im conducting ken related research. IF you had Barbies growing up, did you own a Ken?
yes - i had one token Ken
yes - i had multiple Kens
i had 0 Kens
i had neither Barbies nor Kens but want to be included
See ResultsI did have more than one Ken, but he was definitely a minority. And often obtained because he came with as a set with Barbie. They were also definitely minor characters in the roleplaying me and my friends did together.
1 token ken given to me as a gift.
I had 2 action man though, because he was articulated and poseable. He was bestie with my 90s gymnast barbies.
Back in middle school when I had my mom’s old dolls I had some 12 inch Gi Joes and an Anakin Skywalker figure. In High School when I started buying my own dolls I had a few ken dolls.
One Ken was given to me but he freaked me out because of the dad/sex offender face on Kens of the era. I took off his head and buried both parts in the mountain of stuffed animals in the big crawl spaces in my room. He was referred to as “Dead Head Ken” when spoken of at all.
