Mattel makes over Ken

In an attempt to revive its flagging Barbie sales, Mattel has revamped Ken. He has been made over by flaming Hollywood stylist and Mattel consultant Phillip Bloch, and supposedly is modelled on both Orlando Bloom and Matthew McConaughey.

The video link on this CNN article shows the reporter asking pedestrians for their opinion on his new look and it seems to be "rather feminine". It is also rather amusing that they show a clipping with the text:

"It's Matthew McConau-
ghey meets Orlando
Bloom."

The blonde one actually looks like an extra feminine Dawson from Dawson's Creek. That's so hot I guess I'll have to buy it!
