Barbie's boyfriend has a whole new look and, honestly, we ain't feeling it.
Ken, Barbie's trophy plastic boyfriend, is getting a 2017 glo-up.
The ever-popular child's toy will now be available in a wider variety of forms, in four ethnicities – Asian, African-American, Caucasian, and Latino – and in two new body sizes – broad and slim. The move has been met with largely positive reviews, the better racial representation being an obviously positive move.
But there's one particular brand of Ken 2.0 that has got the internet really talking: Man-Bun Ken.
Mattel
Dear god.
Yep, Ken is now available in so many variants that you can even get yourself a fuccboi version. But, hey, at least the entire internet is p*ssing itself laughing at this most ridiculous of outfits.
Here's just a handful of our fave reactions so far:

Say what you will, at least people are talking about Ken again. Even if he does look like a f*cking Love Island contestant.
