There was a "Japanese Ken" doll a while back but he wasn't very... authentic?

Brown is the most common human eye color. Just make a doll darker than a brown paper bag with brown eyes and black and it could be from almost anywhere.
I have the second guy and he is a looker, it's just a bummer he's no more jointed than Deadwood. I like the newer Kens as opposed to the smiling guy from the 80s and 90s.

Maybe they could have made all the dolls all come with an alternate modern outfit. Then again, isn't the whole point to celebrate tradition?
