I have a rather shocked by the news myself. I have a collection of 31 Ken dolls (OK, 3 of them are Blaines and 3 are a different kind, but all the others are Kens. They're on 2 of my shelves in my office and they're quite a conversation starter, since I'm maybe the only guy in town with a Ken doll collection in his office.
Maybe the Ken/barbie breakup will make the Ken dolls more interesting in the future. I have a few interesting ones, like the Halloween party Ken and Barbie, with the longest hair ever put on a Ken doll (past shoulder length!), and a Harley Davidson Ken with longish hair and leather. I also have the controversail one from 1992 or 1993 (Magic Earring Ken), which was said my many to be a gay Ken.
Maybe this breakup will allow Mattel to go in some interesting directions with the Ken doll product.
Here is a picture of the dolls from September 17, 2003. More have been added since.

Manny, I don't understand your "concern?" I'm sure there are 10's of thousands of men that like to play with Ken dolls. Most probably wouldn't admit it.
A perfect example would be Lord Dark Helmet in "Spaceballs". While not all of the dolls were male, he did still try to remain in the closet and hide them from others.
About the breakup of Ken and Barbie, Mattel has said that the duo "will remain friends." HA! Yeah, where have I heard THAT before!
From the latest on the newswire, Mattel is now going to market Ken with Blaine. Their outfits will include tank-tops and shorts, levis and leather, speedos, and of course the accessories will include a "His-and-His" towel set and selected body piercings.
Speaking of piercings, one time this dumbass said that piercings are a "gay thing". OH, PULEEEZE! How stupit! I think a sh!tload of straight men and women would be "shocked" to know that! JEEEZUS!
(Now, did you want that ring in the left or the right ear lobe?)
