His
likeness has been commemorated on T-shirts, mugs, plates, and even
bobbleheads. But now President Barack Obama has been celebrated in a
much more lifelike manner – as a mannequin. A Las Vegas company says
the demand for a Barack Obama mannequin was so great that they decided
to produce it for retail use.
Fibre-y fearless leader: President Barack Obama's likeness was translated into mannequin form by a Las Vegas company
One of these things is not like the other: The
Las Vegas company said its Obama mannequins have 'realistic facial and
physical features' (though it's not hard to pick out who the real
president is)
The likeness of the 44th president of
the United States has been immortalised in fibreglass, and shows his
signature cropped haircut, brown eyes, and cool-as-a-cucumber demeanour.
The mannequin’s expression is reminiscent of when the president is relaxing. Las Vegas Mannequins, the company that produces the figures, say they offer two separate types of the Hawaiian-born president.
Buff Barack: The mannequin boasts an impossibly fit physique, complete with toned abs and tush
‘These fibreglass-constructed mannequins have two different presidential styles to choose from, full body or just a head.’
They
say the demand for a mannequin Barack Obama has been overwhelming. The
site says: ‘Now when someone asks if we can sell them one, we can
respond “YES WE CAN!”’
The full-length mannequin boasts a surprisingly sculpted physique, showing defined muscles and a toned six-pack.
It is perhaps a generous interpretation of the 52-year-old president's physique, despite the fact Mr Obama remains active.
Face time: The president's head can also be purchased for those who think the mannequin's a bit too much
Street clothes: An Obama mannequin was spotted
in a department store sporting a much more unbuttoned look than the

The mannequin comes with a handy metal platform to support the plastic president.
The site boasts that the Barack Obama head mannequin has ‘great realistic facial and physical features to give them a unique appearance.’
