    Hey Enzo, Donny was known for his love of purple and wore purple socks on his show with his sister.

    Regarding the purple socks: Donny Osmond at the time had a signature fashion statement of wearing purple socks.

    Happy Birthday!! I really loved this video and would enjoy more like this. 😊 I had both Donny and Marie dolls when I kid. So this brought back some great memories. Seeing that each one of Donny's fashions came with purple socks triggered a memory about their show. I think he really loved the color purple and wore purple socks with every one of his costumes. At the end of each show he would lift his pant leg and show off his purple socks. Lol!!

    Love MOD Ken’s And the Girls, but I was told that Ken is actually considered and listed as a Barbie accessory, like a hand bag, shoes etc……does Mattel use the term accessory? Or boyfriend…like Christie is a friend…etc. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊❤

    Happy Birthday! My birthday is in November, and I am almost exactly 5 years older than you. I only had one male doll as a kid: the Mod Hair Ken with the black and brown checker jacket, but my friend had the Donny Osmond doll (and Marie). I definitely like the Now Look Ken, but we probably never got him in Canada.

    Happy birthday! Sorry it's belated. Ha. I was a kid in the late 70's. (Telling my age.) LOL I had the Donny and Marie dolls. I watched their variety show. Very popular back then! Fun fact you may already know. Donny Osmond was known for his purple socks! That's why the doll's fashion packs have purple socks in them.

    Happy birthday! I love Ken and his fashions from this era, I have several of the Best Buys, Get-Ups 'N Go and other fashions from the late 70s. Ironically I didn't have a Ken doll as a child until 1978 or so, it was all girls for a while. And for a few years there he was the one and only, lol. I appreciate Ken dolls much more now than I did then. 😄

    Happy Birthday! These Kens were cool - but I've just got an issue with the way the head meets the neck - - the neck looks like it's a bit wider than the lower part of the head that meets it - - almost like a thicker/wider head should have been used? Not a smooth transition from head to neck. Donny's favorite color is purple so on their show, he always wore purple socks, even when they didn't coordinate with the colors of his outfits. Maybe it's just me!!!! LOL!!!

    • @thee_junkdrawer

  • @hola-munecas
    @hola-munecas 3 місяці тому +4

    No!!!!! You’ve unlocked a new level to my Ken addiction that my wallet can’t handle 😂 Let’s talk about the quality of all these clothes! They are real fashion packs. Today’s are so basic in comparison. And those 70s outfits are so stylish! Even if some are super dated, you get the vibe. What we get today is Ken being lazy and not dressing up AT ALL. There’s still very stylish fashion today that I wish Mattel would make more of for Ken 😢

    • @thee_junkdrawer

    • @julieletford5695
      @julieletford5695 3 місяці тому +1

      And i noticed that today it's mainly shorts. Would it really cost too much to make long pants for him, today?

  • @keithhaggard323
    @keithhaggard323 3 місяці тому +2

    So, Sid and Marty Kroft produced the Donnie and Marie show, hence the costuming being so flashy. Donnie was known for wearing purple socks only, so the costuming reflects that in the fashion packs. Saving money Mattel used tricot heavily as a fabric, and the socks in the seventies fashions were made of it. They were cheaply made during the seventies as Mattel struggled in sales. My gift I sent you is related to this episode, I hope you enjoy it.

    NO WAY!!! The second Ken doll you shown "The Now Look Ken" looks just like my Dad in his wedding suit!! But my dad is more tan and his hair is more waver, it's the same hair cut. NO DON'T SHOW ME HIS BUTT!!! I'll look at the other Ken's butts but not his!!!! LOL

    Is there a website like this that goes up to the present era?

    • @therubygemstonetrg
      @therubygemstonetrg 3 місяці тому

      @thee_junkdrawer I've found a couple that List the different headmolds, but not the body molds.
      Also, do you know how to safely remove the heads with the older neck joints like in the 90s without using hot water?

    I was 6 years old in 1977. My neighbor friend was a huge Donny and Marie fan. She had the Donny and Marie dolls. My mom wouldn’t let me have Barbie-type dolls at that age. She literally thought they were too mature. So I had a blast playing with her dolls. I think that Christmas my mom gave in and let me have one. My younger sister wanted a Ken doll. My dad, who would buy things my mom wouldn’t (divorce drama), got my sister Ken. The whole purpose for wanting Ken was out of curiosity. She really hoped there would be a penis. Even having the very slight bulge was something, but the adults all laughed when they saw how neutered Ken was. My sister was never much interested in playing with the dolls. I only loved the dolls for dressing them up, so Ken was little use and his naked self was pretty neglected… until I had another friend a few years later whose parents wouldn’t allow her to have Barbies. She loved to come over to my house so we could play “naked Barbies.”

    • @thee_junkdrawer
      @thee_junkdrawer  3 місяці тому

      LOL Naked Barbies 🤪

    • @michelleb7399
      @michelleb7399 3 місяці тому +1

      @ Yeah… we’re still the best of friends to this day. I reminded her of “naked Barbie’s” and she reminded me that her parents finally relented, to a degree. They bought her the infamous “growing” Skipper doll. you could make her boobs grow.
