We shared an article last week about Barbie receiving a complete makeover, with 4 new body types and several skin tones!

Now, men around the globe are insisting for an updated and more realistic Ken doll. Reactions to this reaction have been mixed, but TheMarySue chips in with this practical overview:

“Ken’s origin story is a little different from his girlfriend’s,” writes TheMarySue. “[he] was originally designed to resemble designer Ruth Handler’s husband…Yale University psychologist Kelly Brownell wrote in 2006 that most men would have ‘to increase 20 in. in height, 11 in. in the chest, and 7.9 in. in neck circumference’ to achieve Ken’s look.’”

What do we think? Should Ken receive a makeover too?
