Michelle Obama: First Lady Action Figure
Thu., Oct. 15, 2009 2:09 PM PDT by Danielle Datu
Don't call Jailbreak Toys' new Michelle Obama "miniature Barbie." The novelty maker, which put out a Barack statuette last year, is billing the 6-inch-tall likeness as an "action figure." Good! Who else wanted to rip their hair out when they learned that Barbie—with her already unrealistic body type—still wasn't perfect in Christian Louboutin's eyes?
Fans of the fashionable first lady have even more to rejoice about, because not one but three figurines will be available starting Nov. 20. Each wears a different memorable Michelle dress: 1) the red-and-black Narciso Rodriguez number she wore on election night (Note the missing sleeves!); 2) the purple Maria Pinto sheath she had on the day of the infamous fist bump during the campaign trail; and 3) the floral Donna Ricco frock she donned for her appearance on The View. All have Michelle's toned arms and strong facial features.
The plastic dolls also come with a disclaimer: "This product is not formally endorsed by or affiliated with Michelle Obama. (But we really hope she likes it.)" One thing we know the notoriously sensible shopper will love? The $12.99 price tag! So yeah, you might want to preorder yours today. Young girls and their mommies will no doubt want to get their hands on this haute toy.
Keep reading to see the real Michelle wearing the dresses shown on the action figures. Then, visit our Michelle Obama: Shop Her Style! gallery for more of the first lady's fabulous fashions.
