Tides are turning. The MODs were born. The MOD era meant new bodies for
Barbie and Ken and all their friends. They got a new body type, in Ken's
case a more beefy one, with bendable legs (click-bends, internal plastic
joints). These bodies are marked 1968. As are all Ken bodies until the Model
Muse dolls and Fashionistas appear. Some have a turn waist, most stiff
torso. Not a twist waist, like the girls, but one that can turn the doll to
the side. The arms on these MOD Ken dolls are straight with PTS hands -
Palms-To-the-Side. There are usually no visible marks on these dolls' heads but
it may be found
inside the rim of the neck. This head was used for most Ken dolls from 1969
to 1976. It is sometimes referred to as "Edwardian". Some dolls were made in
the 2000's with this head, but with rooted hair, instead of the molded hair
of the older Ken dolls.

If I remember right, I bought him as a "baggie". Too bad the package is long
gone.
