Barbie Signature Día De Muertos 2024 Collectible Ken Doll in Black Suit with Hat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ken Dia de Muertos doll for 2024 is a gorgeous piece designed to commemorate Dia de Los Muertos. Our whole family was really impressed with the quality of the doll and the detailed costume and makeup. The box is also stunning. We used it as a display piece for the end of October and early November. It spurred conversation with my children about Mexican culture and the practice of remembering the dead, so in addition to being visually appealing, it allowed for educational moments as well. The only thing my kids were disappointed about is that I would not let them take Ken out of the box to play with him. Instead, this doll was and will continue to be treated as a collectible piece. This first year, Ken was displayed in the box, but I may take him out of the box next year and use the included doll stand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an awesome collector Barbie to own. It means a lot to our family to honor one of our sons who passed away. Great job, Mattel with representing Mexican culture through your toys. This will be one that gets handed down!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the sturdy, oversized packaging, to the intricate details of the face and suit, this is playable with other Barbies, but definitely worth taking care of. This is more of a collector's doll, worthy of the display case the box doubles as. I was able to use it to teach my daughter a little bit about the holiday, and the traditional wear and makeup of those who celebrate. Overall she had fun adjusting the clothes, fastening the belts on the hat and pants, and posing him in the box. We are keeping him stored inside the box when not playing, to be sure he lasts awhile, and because the box is a piece of art in itself.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was beautifully crafted, throughtfully designed and absolutely a magnificent peice of art work. The box is something beautiful all on its own. The doll is absolutely gorgeous. At first we didn't want to open it and just keep it as a collectors item, but after some thought, it was decided to gently play with the Ken doll. Although I was initially worried about the paint and design wearing off, I'm so happy to report that it didn't. This doll has survived being out side in the 90+ degree weather outside on a play set as qell as the rain and colder evenings we have been having of late. As usual Mattel made a great product and it will last for a while for my family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a great beautiful doll. My family and I love did de Los Muertos and have a few of the first dolls. This one added to our collection is great. Unfortunately I don’t let the kids play with it much, since I want to keep it as is for years to come

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love love love these cultural Barbies! Thank you for including Ken in the Dia de Muertos collection, the women are beautiful but I’m so glad you didn’t leave Ken out, my daughter loves playing with this Barbie!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great collectors edition of Ken. The box that it comes in is sturdy and eye catching. The costume and facial paint that are on Ken are amazing. The quality of this item is quite remarkable. It would be fun for a little one to play with as well since it is so detailed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before I received this item, I anticipated receiving a nice Barbie collectable. However, I was quite surprised with the quality of this doll. It truly is a piece of art. I personally couldn't imagine playing with this doll. Every detail is quite impressive and it even feels heavier than a traditional Barbie. For a true Barbie collector, I can;t recommend this enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed this piece. It was very well crafted. The attention to detail was outstanding. I just set this doll up in my collection cabinet. The outfit was so awesome. I with it would have had the concha’s on the side of the pants to make it look more authentic but it’s still a fabulous piece!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This doll is absolutely beautiful and well crafted. The attention to detail is spot on. The Ken doll comes with a black stand and it holds the doll in perfectly. It has very bright blue colors which is perfect for a day of the dead alter with its bright colors. This doll is definitely more of a collectors piece than a toy a child can play with. It comes with a certificate of authenticity to prove it’s an original piece most toys don’t come with this. Since it’s more of a collectors piece my daughter couldn’t play much with it other than moving the hands as well as the legs to pretend it’s walking the head turns left and right but that’s as much as what you can do with it.i don’t think it was intended for play but my daughter still had fun playing with it and enjoyed the Ken Doll as It’s perfect toy for Halloween.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow this Ken dia de muertos doll is amazing. The detail in this doll is insane. As a collector or a doll to play with this doll is made sturdy. The box itself is beautiful and colorful. My daughter and I both went insane. We love day of the dead and always celebrate my father and her grandfather so we have something to add to our ofrenda. The clothing is so intricate and the face painting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Ken Doll is exquisite. A collector piece for sure. The stitching detail on the clothing is one of my favorite parts. The bone details in the stitching, belt, and hat are beautiful. The face mold and painting is also wonderful. The box he comes in is worth keeping, it’s sturdy and stunning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very nice doll, but maybe not a toy. From the carton box it arrivrd in through the fancy product box you can see this is not an ordinary toy to be played with by an 8 year-old girl. Even the way it is decorared might scare a Girl if she is not familiar with Day of the Day tradtion. Fortunately my daughter knows about it, but she didn’t want to play with a Ken in costume, but decided she would set it apart as a collectible…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The perfect doll to add to my daughter’s doll collection! Colors are vibrant! The doll is extremely well put together. Very easy for her to grab and take on the go! Doesn’t come with many accessories, but the doll does come with a stand. Perfect for display or everyday play!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When my nine year old granddaughter ripped off the tissue paper surrounding this item she was thrilled to see the beautiful Dia De Muertos box. She opened the box on a kid size table making it easy to play with the doll. The design of this collectible box is amazing, colorful and exciting. Like most 11 inch dolls the 9inch by 13inch package is expected however, this box is 31/2 inches deep. She couldn't wait to see this Ken doll and said "OH MY!" with a huge smile on her face before even removing the clear plastic. She was immediately drawn to the clothes, especially the shirt which is embroidered and looks so nice on the black shirt. The pants have bright blue stripe down each leg surrounded by white pom pom trim. The same blue is used on the cuffs of the shirt and as a bow tie around his neck. His silver belt is nicely decorated with a silver skull buckle. The hat has a removable silver band with the skull at the front. She really liked the texture of his clothing and the colors decorating the shirt and pants. His face is painted with wonderful detail and she was surprised at how accurate the face paint was for a Dia De Muertos doll. She had the doll do some leg splits which she thought were funny. His pants are very tight so sitting down isn't really an option but she had fun having him move around looking at the cardboard alter. The alter even has painted on items like the box. After trying the doll, she added the clip to the doll's waist and the pole and pushed that into the clear round base. Then she adjusted his hat and placed him in front of the alter facing the alter and away from it. She even added the top and bottom of the box to either side of the alter to make more play space. She also like the doll's hair. It is soft and rooted. His hat was a little disappointing because it is plastic and slides off when the doll moves too much. This sturdy box easily held the doll, alter and stand. It is so solid she put it on a shelf for display until she took him out again about an hour later. It's been 3 days and now she keeps the doll out of the box and plays with him. This is an excellent doll for a child this age or older.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just loved this product. This is a totally collectible item that gives a nod to a Spanish tradition. Having the full set gives a great overview of all the product. He looks very well made and has just the right amount of personality to make the toy fun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As the first collectors ken doll we have its very well done. From the beautiful packaging to the fine outfit details, delicate face painting, everything is wonderful. Its great that there aren't any plastic tabs except the back of his head. So no holes in his clothes to take him out of the box. He has the regular articulation of a ken doll. A deeper skintone and darker hair. Under his cloths theres a layer of plastic to protect from the black dye staining the doll. He comes with a stand but can also stand on his own. The hat has to be positioned just right to be held in his hand. Also its a bit snug on his head and shifts his hair when you put it on him. It would be nice if the certificate of authenticity was in its own wrapping or even just a bit sturdier than regular sheet of paper. The boots also split down the middle to open and have great detailing. His belt looks like a spine! So cool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Dia De Los Muertos Ken doll is beautiful! The intricate details are a true nod the the Hispanic culture! I love the bright colors! It’s great that it comes with a stand to display. As a Mexican I am so happy to find something like this that has so much correctness to it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very well designed Ken doll. The colors and likeness for day of the dead are well done. The paint on the face of the doll was articulate. The outfit and sombrero has good quality. Overall the doll was good.
