Ken & Barbie... & LeBron?: LeBron James becomes the first male athlete to have a Ken doll

CINCINNATI (WKRC) — Hopefully Barbie's Dreamhouse has room for a basketball court - LeBron James has officially been turned into a Ken doll.

40-year-old basketball legend LeBron James was named as Mattel's first Kenbassador, an honor that apparently comes with a line of dolls in your likeness. Although other star athletes like Venus Williams and Mary Fowler have been Barbie-fied, James is the first professional male athlete to ever be depicted by the doll brand.

James worked closely with Mattel to create a doll that fit his personality and style, including nods to the LeBron James Family Foundation and a Ohio patch, referencing his home state.

"As a young kid, I was fortunate to have role models who not only inspired me but also showed me what's possible through hard work and dedication," James said in a press release. "Now, as an adult, I understand how vital it is for young people to have positive figures to look up to. That's why partnering with Barbie to release the LeBron James Kenbassadors doll is such an honor."

The dolls will be available on Target shelves and online on Target, Amazon, Walmart, and Mattel beginning on April 14 at midnight EST. The dolls will cost $75, but presale models have already been selling on eBay for hundreds of dollars.
