Here we see a Ken doll wearing an auburn wig in a hairstyle that was common during the middle ages. His vest is red with gold rickrack. His puff sleeves are made of floral cotton in a gold print. His bi colored trousers are red and white striped on one leg and gold on the other. He wears black boots made of craft felt. He stands in a ballroom with a bust of Shakespeare behind him. On the wall is a family crest in red and blue cotton hanging with a drape effect. The crest symbol is a gold cross. There's a door to the doll's left, as if he could exit the room whenever he's ready.
