It’s not a lot to go on (and I’d imagine there have been plenty of Barbies which came with a pink jacket), but Ken’s red and blue zebra stripe jacket is pretty distinctive.
That looks about right. Maybe a bit too pink, but I doubt there’s anything better. The texture and stitching matches up, though. Barbie clothes are definately more difficult to find.
I can’t find these outfits either, but I found what of them are. It’s really long to list so I just took pictures of them on my Flickr. Please tell me what they are. [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/mugglebaby[/url]
The Ken heart boxers were originally in 1961’s In Training but they are red with white hearts. I don’t remember a white with red hearts boxers being made specifically for Ken.
There was a G.I.Joe version from Adventure Gear and another one from Project ARE. They will fit Ken just fine.
The karate outfit was most likely a Big Jim outfit. The real Ken karate top was red and white- the all white side had red piping, not black piping. And I’ve never seen anyone (not even Ken in the movie) wear sneakers with a karate gi
You guys are great at identifying! But I’m having some trouble identifying these outfits! Do any of them exist? I’m just giving the link, because it’s so long!

I identified some of them: like his shorts and well, that’s about it. But I still can’t find most of them.
I’d try Ski Fun Ken, as he has similar colored clothes. Offhand I’m not sure. The mold was introduced in 1977 with Superstar Ken, and retired somewhere in the late 1990s. I have a pair of hot pink sunglasses in the same mold -Omar
My pink ones came with a lot I got when my friends hooked up a trade box going around. Mostly its G.I.Joe stuff, but a lot of them threw in Ken and Barbie stuff for me.
I finally got my Wide Awake Stripes for Ken- got him in them now. And have one of the Best Buy shirts too. Ken never wore it in the film, but I’ll put him in it later on -Omar
oreo94, I’m glad the package got to you. Got worried it got lost in the post.
mochafasce15, I can’t get the pink glasses to actually stay on Ken- just like in the Groovin With Ken interview. Actually Superstar Ken from 1977 had two slots cut into his head to allow the glasses to fit. Later Kens that used that mold and all subsequent Kens didn’t have the two slots, making it near impossible to fit the glasses over Ken’s molded hair.
I paused a video on youtube and screen captured the pic. Can’t remember which clip its from - [spoil]when Andy’s toys are captured by Lotso etc[/spoil].
