Vacation Carlos
Relaxed, confident, and effortlessly stylish, Vacation Carlos (1998) is the ultimate getaway fantasy. Wearing a red tank top with the cheeky text “Nobody Knows I’m Your Boyfriend,” a plaid short-sleeve shirt, beige shorts, and brown sandals, he radiates casual charm with a subversive wink. His laid-back style is balanced by thoughtful details—from the visible chest hair to the socks-with-sandals touch—celebrating queer joy in everyday moments.
Carlos, introduced in 1998 as part of the extended Billy universe, was a landmark moment in LGBTQ+ doll history—bringing greater representation and cultural nuance. Vacation Carlos embodies the idea that pride doesn’t pause when you’re off duty. Whether by the beach or strolling through the city, he reminds us that rest and visibility can go hand in hand.
John McKitterick
Lead designer behind Billy. He envisioned the doll as a queer-visibility icon within the collectible world. Influenced by gay pop culture and activism of the 1970s–80s, his mission was to create collectible figures that were both art and social statement.
Juan Andrés
Stylistic collaborator responsible for wardrobe and thematic direction—from flamenco to sports, uniforms to leather. His work blends fashion, performance, and queer cultural heritage into each figure.
