Mattel has chosen to celebrate Valentine's Day by paying tribute to strong friendships and iconic beach style with a rare, vintage-style collectible Allan doll celebrating 60 years since his birth. This release marks an important milestone in the Barbie universe - six decades since the appearance of Allan, Ken's first ever male companion, in 1964. This nostalgic creation is a celebration of history, design, the spirit of the sixties and a reminder of the odious character from "Barbie The Movie".
This doll is a meticulous reproduction of Allan's original look that conquered the 60s. This collectible doll is dressed in a bright striped jacket, navy swim trunks and sandals to match - a nod to his classic beach look. The attention to detail is particularly striking: Allan has sculpted red hair and even has a vintage bracelet on his wrist that reflects the charm of the original doll.
The doll boasts a sculpted face that matches the original Allan and is made using the Silkstone body type. Before Allan's arrival in 1964, Ken had no male friends in the Barbie world. The appearance of Allan was not just an addition to the line, but symbolized the beginning of a friendship that lasted for decades. This 60th anniversary edition pays tribute to that strong bond, celebrating Allan's role as Ken's beach buddy and confidant.
Allan's outfit is an updated version of his original beach outfit. Interestingly, this outfit also inspired the costume design of Allan's character in the movie Barbie, bridging the gap between historical significance and contemporary pop culture. This choice of design emphasizes Mattel's desire to honor the past while remaining relevant in our time.
The 60th Anniversary Allan Vintage Reproduction is more than just a collector's item, it's a piece of history. It celebrates a key moment in the Barbie universe - the appearance of Allan, a symbol of friendship and style. With its vintage design, high-quality silkstone body, and rich historical context, this doll is sure to become a treasured item for Barbie enthusiasts and collectors alike.
