Keeping Ken Other Male Fashion/Action Dolls

My Scene™ Sutton™ appeared in the line in late Summer 2003, with new My Scene™ boy  River™ and a second edition of Bryant™. 

My Scene™ Sutton™ is the "artistic" character, by expressing his creativity through art.  His artistry is mainly focused on his love for collecting comic books.  The story board art he draws is coupled with the storylines he creates to complete two My Scene™ Adventure comics based on his friends.  Unlike the other My Scene™ male dolls, My Scene™ Sutton™ doesn't fall into a well-scripted images from Mattel, probably because of lack of promotion.

My Scene™ Sutton™ is Black, and is the only My Scene™ male doll to have facial hair or flock hair.  Hailing from London, he speaks with an English accent.  

One per carton, Sutton™ and will be harder to find than the rest of the My Scene™ boys.  His box text states "It's weird, you know, how art can be so many different things to different people? But that's kinda what makes it great.  It's about expressing your creativity, and we all need a bit of that right?".

 

More about Sutton doll is uncovered in the late December 2003 Jammin' in Jamaica DVD (sold with the female Jammin' in Jamaica dolls).  We learn he is a member of the band "Urban Desire".  Other band mates include My Scene River, Hudson and Ellis.  My Scene Madison writes the lyrics for the bands songs.  Sutton is the "Master Scratcher" for the band.  Sutton doesn't have very much character development in the video, but he's the only character to meet and connect with newest My Scene member Jammin' in Jamaica Jai doll.  They discover they share the same distinctive accent.  Sutton also has a solo musical moment in the video at a party, where he showcases his scratching technique that gets the attention of a record producer.

 

 

My Scene™ Sutton™ is romantically tied to My Scene™ Madison™ in a "Night out on the Town" gift set that was available Fall 2003, and again in Spring of 2004 in the Out & About Madison™ and Sutton™ Gift Set.  This version and another single version, Getting Ready/Out With The Girls Sutton™, are both available with new "smiling" head molds.  Interestingly, both versions take the boys' point of view, as Sutton doll's characterization is explored further as he readies himself for a real and impromptu date.  Sutton jumps from relatively no character development in previous versions, to a well drawn one.  His relationship with Madison is especially enforced in the single version, as an unorganized Sutton forgets her birthday.  This relationship is explored further in the gift set version, as they exchange gifts on their one-month anniversary.  Like River and Barbie, Sutton and Madison seem to have made an official relationship commitment.

When we use the words "fashion dolls" to describe our dolls, the successful winning formula for My Scene™ can be as simple as examining each word "fashion" and "dolls" separately.  Think of the words "base" and "ball".  Singularly, you have two objects.  When you put them together you have a game.  I'm betting that My Scene™ will be successful if the words come together.

SORRY... in this section I will only give information about SUTTON™.  Highlighted boxes are the Sutton™ dolls I keep.

And suddenly the worst Saturday ever turns into a sunny drive to the shore with the radio blaring and nothing ahead of us but the open road and a warm summer night."
