Here we see the African American Ken doll next to the Lammily Traveler doll with her beautiful natural hair Afro. They are dressed in traditional African clothing, including a fez, a shawl/poncho, and other garments made of African print fabrics. This image was part of a Kwanzaa celebration at ChellyWood.com and is being revisited today to celebrate Black Business Month (August). It's a great image of any African heritage holiday celebrations.

A Mattel Ken or Ryan doll stands in a whitewashed room wearing a tux. To his right is a white pillar with climbing vines curling their way around it.
