    Mego-like Obama?

    So who's making this? The body looks like CTVT, but the suit looks like Doc MEGO... anybody know?

    Why does the Link say this is the worst Obama Action figure ???
    Looks pretty cool to me.

      The likeness is not really there but it's the best Obama figure I have seen.
      Those who look outside dream. Those who look within awake.
      Samples of my work are found here: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness

      To do list:
      1:6 boots for Mathilda, 1:1 Romulan Commander outfit, Ursus helmet; Cornelius appliance
      1:9 scale ape's new suit for Cornelius;

        He looks old as an action figure and quite frankly, I think this president is the youngest looking (sorry JFK) president we have had. Don't really like the figure myself but a good attempt.

          Mego like Presidents would be a fun line. I think its the detailed paintjob that gives it a bit of aging. The sculpt looks pretty good, tho.

            You're right it does look like one of Doc's suits. Perhaps it's a new EMCE range?
            It may just be a custom figure, i've seen a couple of 1/6 heads on ebay. Ada Chan does one too

              Yea... I don't know it was the tag line from GIZMODO... I thought it was kinda neat. Though the head does look a little too old/aged now that it's mentioned... I was hoping there was a new player in the arena of 8 inch figures, or perhaps CTVT was popping back up...

                Mark Huckabone is behind that one, it will have a different body and suit

                  That's not the answer I expected!

                        Looks good. Although I didn't and wouldn't vote for him, I vote yes on the figure. But it needs a blue suit and the head needs to be a tad smaller. Some have said it looks too old for Obama but I think it's more of a subliminal impression because of the way the light bouncing off the hair makes it look a bit grayish.

                          I think the Head Looks somewhat Accurate, to most of his Features.
                          I believe it is the paint job that Cripples the heads likeness, & hence makes him look a bit too old.

                            Mark called me last week looking for a huggy bear so he could put this together. I wanted to overnight him a body but all of my collection was in boxes.

                            I didn't know anything about it prior. He has mentioned a new 8" type body but its gonna be a little different.

                            I know more about his other projects but I am sworn to secrecy, I can say that the boy is really coming up with some sweet ideas.
