This Ken is like a Florida version of Mr. Blackwell, dressed in "a dashing jacquard-patterned jacket with a light pink polo shirt and crisp white pants."
Entertainment Earth is preselling the dolls for $70, which is already a markdown from $82, and the doll's not even available until April.

Besides, Mattel says this Ken isn't being marketed to girls. Or boys. He's designed for the toymaker's adult Barbie collection. The Palm Beach Ken hopes to meet "popular demand from Mattel's Barbie adult enthusiasts, who wanted a Ken doll that could hold his own as part of the already popular Barbie Fashion Model Collection..."
I think I'll pass on the Sugar Daddy Ken.
