You might already know Realistic Barbie. The doll's true-to-life body types burst into our lives recently after 57 long years of contorted feet, an impossible waist, and freakishly large breasts that seem to scream lumbar back pain. But do you know Realistic Ken? Made by the toy brand Lammily, he's just like Mattel's new Barbie, only a dude. Just when you thought no one would acknowledge male body anxiety, this new, shorter, softer Ken is showing the world that you don't need rock hard abs or big biceps (or nipples apparently) to be beautiful. Thanks Realistic Ken!

Founder and designer Nickolay Lamm should be commended for turning his own past negative body issues into something positive—he's also the dude that gave us the first realistic Barbie-esque dolls, with realistic periods and all. And he's got some great things to say about Ken: "He may not have a six pack, but he has an awesome sense of humor."

While the idea is great (we're all for a healthy body image!), the execution is kinda creepy. First of all, Lammily says that Realistic Ken is modeled from the "proportions of the average 19-year-old man", but he looks more like a 37-year-old who happens to be on vacation in your child's bedroom.

See what we mean? How did a tiny Ted Cruz get into little Charlie's room?! And even clothed he looks creepy. His style is just straight up terrible. He's wearing jorts. (Just let that sink in.) And the shirt isn't much better. Where does realistic Ken shop? At an Ocean State Job Lots from 2003? Maybe there's a tiny GQ somewhere that can give Realistic Ken few style pointers.
