(CNN) - It's your lucky day, Barbie - a whole new crop of Ken dolls are now on the market.

Toymaker Mattel has launched a wide-ranging line of new Ken dolls that includes "slim" and "broad" body types, the latter of which is drawing "dad-bod" comparisons.

On top of that, the dolls are sporting six new hairstyles, including a man-bun and cornrows.

And they now come in a total of seven skin tones.

The move is part of Mattel's efforts to turn around its core Barbie business.

It comes a year after Mattel unveiled a more diverse crop of Barbies, which helped boost overall Barbie sales by 7 percent from the previous year.
