Mad Men gets the Barbie and Ken treatment

[Dusty Ayres]

Zippo lighters, Banana Republic window displays, Brooks Brothers suits ... even an avatar generator. The producers and marketers of Mad Men have worked hard to recreate and repopularize the aesthetic of 1960s Madison Avenue advertising culture, and now that aesthetic may be coming full circle -- in doll form.
The figurines will retail for US$74.95, not including mini Brandy snifters or hip flasks (we're kidding ... only jewellery and hangbags... and nary an ashtray). Only a limited run of the dolls will be available, mostly through specialty retailers.

Poor Joan, she looks anorexic!

Can't cheap-ass Mattel spring for a new body form for her? Gotta use the stick figure for everyone?

Don't care about the dolls, but thank you for the avatar generator link. There's another site to waste my time on, besides the Southparkification one.
