LeBron James is the first male athlete to have his own Ken doll. Part of Barbie’s new “Signature Kenbassadors” line that highlights influential men making a positive impact, the $75 collector’s item drops April 14 at Target, Walmart, Amazon, and Mattel Creations. The doll rocks a varsity jacket with “Just A Kid From Akron” on the back, a “We Are Family” tee, houndstooth pants, and a fresh pair of Nikes. LeBron called the collab an honor and a way to inspire the next generation, while fans joked that “grown men are gonna sell this out ASAP.” It’s a smart move on Mattel’s part as the brand ranks third as 13-39-year-old males’ favorite toy brand, according to YPulse. And with young adults driving the whole kidulting trend, this release is hitting at the perfect time. (VIBE)
