These are funny but cute.
Okay then.

levette · Jun 20, 2017

I really like it and would buy both he Afro wearing Barbie and the ken with the cornrows. Actually I like nerdy ken with the black eyeglass frames too

Goombay_Summer · Jun 20, 2017

While I totally applaud the various changes to his physical appearance he's still unemployed and without a penis.

GeorginaSparks · Jun 20, 2017

i like the barbie with the fro.

What is nerdy Ken's hand doing behind Afro Barbie?

Anyway, I always thought Barbie was just a beard for Ken...my mind ain't changed.

I could see the cornrows if it were the 90s

Autumn~Tint~Of~Gold · Jun 20, 2017

eeew I don't like any of them. Give me 90s Barbies and they're wonderful unrealisticness :lol:

Not nerdy Elvis :lol:

I wonder if they have a black (non-Elvis looking) version.

Rocky91 · Jun 22, 2017

They didn't do enough research on current black male hairstyles....cornrows should be replaced by the Odell Beckham obviously

BEAUTYU2U · Jun 22, 2017

Lmao @ that tweet though! So accurate.

doriannc · Jun 22, 2017

Cornrows? What about dreads or a high top? I want the Afro Barbie. I might get it for my future daughter. :sekret:

ambergirl · Jun 22, 2017

What happened to Brad? Much prefer him to the newbies.

janaq2003 · Jun 22, 2017

They're cute. Especially afro barbie

nysister · Jun 22, 2017

I like AfroBarbie but they're a bit behind the curve. Some smaller black owned companies are filling that niche.

The hair texture on this one is more realistic than some of the other do companies. I'm a Barbie collector with a few dolls from other brands.

They released one with a high top last year.

When I was a kid, Barbies and Kens were girl children toys. Somehow I am guessing in this day and age with all the transgender, millenniaism, these dolls are for both boys and girls.

Yes! I have a Mala doll. Barbies kinky hair afro is way better.

I wish this man bun trend would go away

This one was released too but he's not getting any shine for some reason. I like him though.

TaraDyan · Jun 23, 2017

Some of these Ken dolls look like they would rather hold hands with other Ken dolls rather than Barbie. :look:

TaraDyan · Jun 23, 2017

Oh… and black Barbie's fro is mighty bodacious! I love it!!

Boys have been playing with dolls for age, but we call them "action figures".

They are dolls. We just give them a different name because we see boys doing anything associated with girls as being shameful. But boys play make-believe and act out stories with their "action figures" just like girls do with their dolls. And to be completely blunt, some of these superheroes prancing about in tiny underwear, unitards, stockings, and capes look more questionable than dudes in tee shirts and jeans. I'm not giving the superheroes a pass because they are often muscled and tough looking.
