But there's one thing that has everyone talking: Ken's man bun.
After the line was revealed this morning, Twitter exploded with absolutely savage reactions.

Apparently Mattel has designed a Ken doll with a man bun. What's next? A Ken doll wearing a romper?

Man Bun Ken is very proud of the hammock he wove himself, and can monologue about BIG FURNITURE for an hour.

When you pull Man Bun Ken's string, he quotes Infinite Jest or tells you how his homebrew IPA is going. https://t.co/3cLgXKtWYQ

There's now a Ken Doll with a man bun. But he doesn't have a neck beard or smell like B.O. So he's still as fake as the original Barbie.
@GaryInYourEars
There's a new Ken doll with a man bun and I want it.

@ourlovesgod
Scanning the initial reactions, there were just a couple people in support of the look, including one from Steven King:
Barbie's bff, Ken, now comes with a man bun or cornrows. You go with your bad self, Kenny.
