These two love birds met for the first time in 1961, yep I know Hollywood would like you to think it was during Toy Story 3, but after a very public split on Valentine’s Day in 2004, are the two plastic beauties about to get back together?
It seems that Ken has been wooing Barbie in a big way over the past few weeks as part of his 50th celebrations, on Twitter, Facebook and he even set up his own website where you can vote ‘yes or no’, on whether Barbie should take Ken back.
I have to give to Ken he really has tried hard over the past few weeks, he has even tried online dating with Match.com, only to realise that Barbie was the girl for him.

He even created the Barbie Cupcake at Magnolia Bakery, sadly only available in New York and Los Angeles, but it does look very tasty, he definitely gets points from me for this.
You have two choices, either a classic vanilla or chocolate cupcake iced with Barbie’s favorite shades of pink buttercream and sparkling sugar crystals, topped with a white chocolate heart inscribed with a special message from Ken, “You’re the one I love”. Get them quick though as they are only available until Valentine’s day.
The ultimate end I am sure will be that the two love birds will be back together, but also for Ken’s birthday Mattel are releasing the new Sweet Talking Ken, a doll which is described as ‘the ultimate boyfriend for every occasion.’ As this Ken doll can record up to five-seconds of sound, and play back the message in Ken’s voice, so basically he ‘says whatever you want him to say!’
Ken with his Bieber looks sells for $19.99 *not seen a UK price*. I collect Barbie’s, but I don’t have any Ken’s in my collection, but I do love his T-shirt which reads ‘The Ultimate Boyfriend’ in 10 different languages – it’s cute.
So what do you think – should Barbie take Ken back? Or will the heartbreak of 2004 continue?
