Retro Toy Chest: Remember Alan, Ken's friend? (1964)
In 1964, Mattel made an effort to expand their Barbie line beyond Barbie, Ken, & Skipper. Midge became Barbie's other BFF, and now, Midge has a boyfriend. Meet Alan.
Midge later turned up on the web series Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse, making her debut in the short "A Smidge of Midge". In a direct homage to her 60's roots, Midge first shows up at Barbie's door in '60's era garb...and in black-and-white! This causes cast member Ryan to inquire, "Are you a ghost?". No mention of Alan, though.
