Our senators need to know that an overwhelming majority of Americans want an
open Internet. We don’t want corporations blocking what we say or do online. We
want every website, from biggies like Amazon and Google to sites operated by
millions of small businesses and bloggers, to be treated the same,
with no fast lanes for companies with deep pockets!
Ken®; Barbie's® Boyfriend and Allan®!
While the first issue Ken (1961) was sold with 'flocked hair,' the subsequent issue Kens have 'painted' hair (blond or brunette)
(note: It is very common for Ken
and Allan's arms to fall out of their sockets!)
1. Model #750 - First Issue Ken markings on right buttocks cheek - The left side is a mold ID number only and of no importance (box date 1961):
KEN T.M./ Pats. Pend/ c MCMLX/ by/ MATTEL/ Inc.
Here are examples of both a blonde painted-hair Ken and a
Brunette painted-hair Ken. This Ken came complete with the same accessories as
the first issue Ken, but now a red/white stripe beach jacket takes the place of
a yellow terry cloth towel.

Allan joined the Barbie friends in 1964. He and Ken shared
the same body type and clothing. He was sold with a multi-colored stripe beach
jacket, navy trunks, blue cork sandals, wrist tag, booklet, and black wire stand

Above is a very unique Ken with painted legs. While this is already a rare finding on Barbie, a Ken with painted legs is extremely rare and hard to find! Be gentle with all painted leg dolls.
