have  lookied  all over  the internet  for a  Ken  with  hair  like  this

its  soft  hair  on  top  ..and  rooted....

thanks  for nay help identify8ing him..he  sure is  " hunky "    ~~~~hah  !

He's fairly recent-- 1968 is the date the body mold was copyrighted. I think  he's had a home hairstyle, the result of being played with.

I believe he is "Cool Shavin' Ken" from 1996. But I do believe his hair has been cut shorter.

I am happy that I could help. He does look very cool and I am sure there would be someone out there who would love to own him. Good luck!
