Movie Allan is done!

He's a boy skipper head on an older fashionista body with the shorter neck. Clothes and face up my yours truly.

It was fun to try to reinterpret Allan as a modern Mattel doll. Fun and tricky, since a lot of what makes him look so distinct has a lot to do with the sculpt itself. Still, I tried to pull as much as I could from the original doll's face up to give the right vibe.

I'm pleased with how he turned out. I think he looks super cute.

For anyone who still has that Barbie (2023) fever:

Allan is Ken's best buddy, Alan got married and had kids

Maybe other social media sites aren’t that bad I just found an Instagram account dedicated to tagging Mattel every day until they bring back the Allan doll anyways they have a new follower

Was sorting my saved posts on insta and fell down the rabbit hole of the 1964 Barbie Fan Club Magazine. Look at this art of Allan! The cover says he's Midge's "new boyfriend", but we all know better. That first paragraph (3rd image) is a dead giveaway lmao.

for years i've called my gender a barbie doll (aka i wish i had no genitals) and that's just so much funnier and real now that the barbie movie is out

surprised nobodys drawn the Barbie Movie characters and their Lego Movie counterparts… i had to be the one to do it

guys we need to all agree that this allan is a homosexual. because he is. [SPOILERS] the allan that got midge pregnant escaped to the real world. allan says another allan escaped before in the movie when trying to escape kendom with the humans. [END SPOILERS] he can represent the gay experience of growing up isolated, not accepted by the guys but not really one of the girls. i’ve also seen the nonbinary community become fond of him. LETS ALL AGREE THAT HE IS ONE OF US OK? HE IS LGBTQ. ALLAN I LOVE YOU.

So my Mum took me and my Little Sister to The Barbie Movie(We in-fact just got out), and Sis was wondering:

Why was Allan discontinued?

As far as I know there’s no entertaining story behind Al(l)an being discontinued - sometimes dolls that aren’t as popular simply don’t get new dolls produced of them.

Allan is a tricky one because he was originally introduced of course as “Ken’s buddy” but then in the 1990’s “Alan” (with one L) became Midge’s husband and, eventually, the father of her children in the Happy Family line.

If you’re unsure if this is the same Al(l)an, his most recent appearance was in the Double Date 50th Anniversary Giftset, where he looks like the original striped shirt Allan and was advertised in catalogues as an Allan, but is clearly romantically linked with Midge, as Alan was.

I can’t tell if he was credited on the box itself as Alan or Allan because the most high-res pictures I can find are still not sufficient - at least not on my phone.

In any case, with Allan being in a box set as recently as 2014, we can comfortably say he was discontinued but I don’t think there’s a particular story behind it. The people just don’t need Al(l)an.
