Vtg Mattel Ken Dolls In Clothes, Accessories: Handmade Guitars, Drums, Rock Band

Description: This is a unique and truly one of a kind group of vintage Ken dolls. When displayed together they are an all male Rock Band (“Boy Band”), with hand carved guitars and other artistically detailed hand-made instruments such as the the drumset, microphones and sound system. This is a special collection that can never be purchased elsewhere and should have a new home with an adult who is a serious collector, or who loves vintage Barbie/ Ken/ music memorabilia. It is truly unique and one-of-a-kind because my late friend Annette (who was a guitarist, artist, and who LOVED Barbies and vintage Rock & roll) created this band by uniquely combining vintage dolls from her childhood (1960s & 70s) with 2 later dolls from 1999 & 2009. Then she added her own handmade instruments (plus a vintage pink Barbie keyboard and snare drum ornament). Annette was very artistic but didn’t have a lot of money, so she used whatever she could find around the house to help her make the things she couldn’t buy. For example, look carefully at that drumset. The bass drum started as a powder box & ended with a perfectly hand drawn Ludwig logo! The cymbals, stands and floor tom are also hand crafted Upcycle creations (before Upcycle was a word!) Look carefully at each item to see the detail. The guitars were expertly carved from wood and the frets and dots were individually drawn. Bits of plastic, cardboard, metal, wood, paint and ink were used to make each item as realistic as possible. Don’t bother searching for this set in other locations because it is a truly unique creation that you won’t find elsewhere. ***The Ken dolls are 1968 Mattel Indonesia, 1975 Mattel China, 1968 Mattel Taiwan, 1999 Mattel Indonesia, and 2009 Mattel China. ***Stay posted. I will be posting many more vintage dolls and antique dolls over the next days and possibly weeks. ***Don’t be shy. Message me if you have questions. *** The Elvis doll has ink on his nose that might need to be covered with skin colored paint
