PALM BEACH, FL -- Palm Beach has a new "sugar daddy," and he's only a few inches tall.

Mattel plans to release a doll named "Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken."

He'll come with a tan, quite an outfit and head of hair as well as a tiny dog.

"They really call him that? Oh yeah, that's pathetic. Oh that's sad, kids shouldn't know that," said one visitor to the island.

This doll comes with white pants, a nice tan and patterned green blazer and, forget the plastic hair, he's got a hairdo that even Donald Trump would be jealous of.

Despite the Palm Beach style, true 'Palm Beachers' think Mattel messed up. One said, "I think they have the age wrong, they're usually 65... married with kids. This guy doesn't fit the bill."

A Mattel spokesperson claims the $81.99 doll got his name because his dog is named "Sugar," and he is its "Daddy."

The spokesperson also explains the doll is meant for adult collectors.

"Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken" is scheduled for release in April, 2010.
