Ken is no longer just Ken.
Ryan Gosling's much-loved character has been made into a doll by Mattel, Barbie’s parent company said in a statement.
"Until recently, Ken has always been… just Ken, but through the 'Barbie' movie, fans identified with and celebrated Ryan Gosling’s performance of Ken’s self-discovery," Mattel said in a statement. "His Kensformation built demand, as fans were eager to emulate the now iconic on-screen moment."
The doll, which is sculpted to the likeness of Gosling, wears the headband and horse charm necklace from his “Mojo Dojo Casa House” outfit. But instead of the white faux fur coat and leather vest, he dons a tie-dye "I Am Kenough" hoodie, which Mattel says was the most successful Matte Creations drop to-date.
