According to Barbie lore, some vocal members of the public wanted the original Barbie character to have children, and while Mattel thought that would make her feel too old and domestic, they added a child to her life by way of a little sister.

The milestone birthday highlights how much the doll has changed in the years since its 1961 debut as Barbie’s beau, but the brand says there’s still room for Ken to grow. Mattel does not have a great track record in terms of respecting the physical limitations of human anatomy, but embedding an LCD screen into a Barbie doll’s back is really crossing the line.

At least three different Dreamhouse Experiences have been made: in Florida, at the Mall of America, and in Germany.
