There's something about his smile that makes me feel like this Ken just witnessed something distressing but he's trying to look unfazed

[@dollthighs]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg that made me laugh so hard. You're so right.

[@ryanb4940]

I’ve bought a several dolls off eBay from the 90’s or early 2000’s and yes, they can start having a smell and yes, the rubber bands get so gross. I have never felt bad about unboxing because I do my best to clean them so they get the love they deserve. I do understand keeping in box but knowing how much they deteriorate…. Yuck haha. I’d rather a loved and clean unbox than a sticky moldy inbox lol

[@Miranda_Writes]

Smells like Grandma's attic. I lost it. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jambogb]

I am not into dolls - but really really into YOU Mr!!! Greetings from Italy and lots of love from an Italian man with good taste! 😘

[@dollthighs]

🤣🤣 thank you. 🥰

Once you said he reminded you of an actor, I suddenly saw it too, and now I can't unsee it. He looks like 90's/2000's John Travolta to me, lol.

[@dollthighs]

Oooh, maybe that's who I was thinking of. 🤔

[@michaelmcdonnell6523]

There's a tip, dryer sheets, wrap up him & the clothes, in cloth then, wrap in dryer sheets, it gets rid of bad smells. I had a Trent doll that had come from a smoker home, the dryer sheets took away that smell & it never came back.

[@dollthighs]

Thank you!!! That's a great idea. I was going to try baking soda, but i couldn't think of a not messy way to do that. 🤣

[@lorrainecurran9157]

He is lovely ,his suit is class .he's a nice find 👌

[@dollthighs]

Yeah he's a cutie. 😆 except for that hair.

[@SDjilliaRE]

Musty yet busty 😍 (I couldn't think of anything else that rhymed, lmao). He's so cute though! One of my grail dolls for sure. I'm surprised the suit didn't stain him at all. For the melting on the sleeve, I would try soaking it in warm water, a bit of fabric softener, and oxyclean. Color catchers too. I can't guarantee that'd work though. For the smell, he probably just needs a bath and the clothes need a wash.

[@dollthighs]

Thanks for the tip! I will probably try that at some point just to test it.

[@SDjilliaRE]

@@dollthighs It's been safe with all the clothes I've tested so far. Experiment with it a bit and find what amount of each you're comfortable using. Just beware of anything that might peel or shed (like pleather, some velvets, and glitter). And I can't stress color catchers enough!

[@thee_junkdrawer]

LOVE the mini Ken. Soooo cute! 😍 I unbox a lot of older Ken dolls and yes, the smells. LOL

[@dollthighs]

🤣🤣🤣

[@paulmillerjr710]

I have in my collection. i got him few years ago and I debox him as well mine never smell I never undress him. I keep him on my shelf with my holiday Barbie and other dolls.

[@dollthighs]

He's pretty cool. 😍

[@barbiechopshop9538]

You have a great eye for rarer face sculpts. I can't find this one being used for any other doll in the data base. He's adorable. I love the smell of a vintage doll unboxing in the morning lol

[@dollthighs]

🤣🤣🤣 idk he's still pretty ripe. I hope it doesn't linger too long.

[@profoundending1390]

My absolute favorite Barbie Doll ever is Kissing Barbie from 1979! One unfortunate aspect about her though is she had part of her hair pulled back by a rubber band to hide the kissing mechanism behind her head and it's so hard to find the doll, even in the box still, without her hair messed up because on 99% of them, the rubber band is aging and gross and often broken. I did manage to find one online recently though, still mint in the box and her hair seems to be in perfect condition. I paid a pretty big dollar for that one but I feel it's worth it since she's my favorite ❤

[@Pink_jay80]

That 90s and early 2000 dust hit different 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@dollthighs]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@guymadison5263]

The best tuxedo Mattel created for Ken, IMO. Elvis's wedding tux is a close second and Ricky from 'I Love Lucy' is another tailored tux. Stored dolls in garages and basements absorb moisture through the paper in the doll's box and mildew sets in. I have several, over 10, just for the outfits. The 'Look' model was a perfect chose. Shoes are pass. The tuxedo is free from the box so the odor will pass over time. Cute Review, Thank You

[@dollthighs]

Thank you! Yeah I think most of the smell came from the box. If it doesn't go away I might try to use some baking soda or something.

[@adbeelkarin]

I love the suit... so cool nyo!

[@dollthighs]

Same! It's very cute.

[@christineh86]

Would you ever want to design and make clothes for dolls? That would be so cool! I wish i could do stuff like that.. but I’m not patient enough to sew! 😅 I’m frustrated that MGA doesn’t make fashion packs for the Rainbow high dolls ! Just that expensive closet thingy

[@dollthighs]

Yes! I've been thinking about designing doll clothes a lot lately. Also, same! I wish mga would make fashion packs as well.

[@christineh86]

@@dollthighs that would be a very cool video if you would make some sketches in the future to show us and talk about your dream doll outfits or dolls that you would like to make or that you wish existed! 🤩 My dream doll outfit would maybe be a 90s or early 2000s rave Barbie or Rainbow high 😍 that would be something!

[@Lars1996]

I think they were going for that 90’s George Clooney hair, but they couldn’t go shorter on the sides and back because of the plugs.

[@dollthighs]

Yeah. Lol short hair on dolls is always tough.

[@MsIlovemusic07]

I recently bought a doll from 1984. Two of them actually, one of them smells like chemicals, it’s wafting off his head.

[@krystajustice1608]

[@dndndndndn419]

I think I literally wore that exact tux to some winter formal dance 😂

[@dollthighs]

🤣🤣🤣

[@ramizahmed461]

I have this Ken 💟 ☺️ my parent bought for gift for me in the 2001 💙

[@dollthighs]

Lol he's honestly way nicer than I expected. I always forget how detailed dolls from this Era were.

[@linphillips8331]

Jim Carey from Dumb and Dumber hair!

[@dollthighs]

🤣🤣🤣 so true.

[@SubjectDelta9]

He resembles John Travolta!

[@dollthighs]

Hahaha sooo true!

[@pyotrrossetti]

When did Barbie stop including stands?

[@dollthighs]

Some Barbies still include stands. The looks dolls, for instance. I'm not sure when play line dolls stopped, including stands.

[@iamsoverybored878]

I just bought a 90s Barbie Reproduction. Hopefully, all i have to deal with is putting new rubber bands in her hair. Luckily, she's a blond my brunette ponytail had black bits from her elastic coming apart from her hair. I like to buy the older Barbies because they have better detail and I can get them cheaper then today's dolls. Also the orginal 1959 face mold is my favorite I just love her bitchy look.

[@dollthighs]

I completely agree. I've bought so many older Barbies for less than a Barbie extras price with way more detail and quality. 🤣

[@iamsoverybored878]

@DollThighs I just open the box to the Barbie in this series. There were little specks from the rubber band that I got rid of. She looks good in the box especially after putting the mini Barbie back in place. Shock to learn that she is wearing stockings Mattel would never do this now of days especially on a doll with a long gown. She smelled like old books.

[@dollthighs]

@@iamsoverybored878 LOL old books!!! Exactly. 🤣🤣

[@iamsoverybored878]

@DollThighs I actually went and took the old rubber bands out of the dolls boxes. I kept them in though. You think the late 90s one's smell bad I took two out from the 80s. I even washed the hair of one it was a dried up crusty mess. Going to take that one out when I get an stand.

[@german102302]

That's fierce tbh

[@dollthighs]

🤣🤣

[@german102302]

Smelly Ken, Smelly Ken, what are they feeding you?

[@dollthighs]

LOL I almost titled this video something similar to that but I didn't know how many people would get the reference.

[@TheJenyc2008]

IMO he looks like Alec Baldwin 😅

[@dollthighs]

Oh, I can kind of see it!
