    Question about the Obama figure

    Has anyone gotten one of these? The face in the pics looks painted, but you can't tell the final product a lot of times from the photos on the site. I'm just wondering if the head is actually cast in brown or just painted over in brown.

      Sorry Scott; the NHL playoffs and the couch combined to knock me out at some point until I woke up at 2:30 AM this morning.

      I'll answer this tonight with pictures.

          Painted. But still, well done.

            Wow that turned out better than I thought. I need to pick up one to display next to my Famous Monsters Bracula.

              Was considering getting one for the brown body (to go with their Action Jackson head), but it's only worth the price if the head was also usable for something else. Painted face is something I usually avoid in Mego customs when possible (just like the molded flesh color better, and most of my human faced customs are like that). But thanks for the info, folks! Now I can make an informed decision (which you should always do when choosing a President!)

                it's a good likeness.

                  You say that now, but I know how you get when it's time to elect the King of Canada every seven years.
