Groovy... we found this doll, still in Box, at a sidewalk sale a couple weekends ago in San Francisco. The guy'd had it since he was a kid in 1972 (the year it was made), and no longer wanted it. We asked him how much, he said $2 - done!
Note that you can add or remove facial hair as you like - a great detail. Further research on Jef Beck's wonderful Ken site (http://www.collectorsweekly.com/hall-of-fame/view/keeping-ken) reveals that there were two box styles for this particular Mod Hair Ken... if you haven't seen Jef's site (or the Collectors Weekly interview with him), you should check it out!
