A wax figure of President-elect Barack Obama was unveiled at London’s Madame Tussauds Museum on Thursday. I guess it looks like him. What do you think? Peep more photos below.

the skin color is off.
the left side of the upper lip on the wax figure isnt quite right
his nose in real life is a little flatter in btwn his eyes.
but mostly the skin color is off.

Looks a little younger, but couldn’t you do a better job at it, it should be more than perfect.

I personally think they didn’t get his skin color down to well which I think is a damn shame. I think they didn’t do his image justice he is much more charismatic than that

It looks like the guy from Madtv.
He’s also the host on Planets Funniest Animals.
If Obama’s brows where higher and eyes more forward
it will look like him.

Not as good as their previous work where it was hard to tell b/t the real and the wax. Think they got the eyes wrong and not sure about his lips being that dark. need a side by side pic.

his skin is a little bit too dark… that’s it.

but i’m so proud that he got a wax figure! i bet he’s having trouble taking it all in… on account of he just got elected in November…

Quite frankly, i think it resembles him… you can tell it’s him… but it’s wax.. and heck, he got one and really, that’s all that matters.

0.K.,at first glance the wax figure does seem to favor Obama.But amazingly, I just made a side by side comparision with a actual king-sized photo of Obama next to the wax figure and incredibly they don`t look alike.The first thing that jumps out at you, is that the eyes of the wax figure are too close together and have bags underneath them.These are not Barack Obama`s eyes,but look like the eyes of a old Jewish woman.Barack`s eyes are wider apart.The eyes are the window of the soul,by getting the eyes wrong the figure fails to capture Obama`s soul.Secondly,the wax figure`s face is longer and thinner than Obama`s and it`s nose is pointed at the tip.Obama`s face is wider than the wax figure and his nose is not pointed at the tip.Clearly,this wax figure was made by a caucasian person.And lastly,the complexion of the wax figure is way off,it`s as if the maker of the figure tried to whitewash Obama`s real complexion and it`s teeth are way too big compared to Obama.The teeth are those of a woodchuck or beaver that can do some serious damage.Obama`s teeth are not quite that big and his complexion is more of a yellowish color with tinges of light brown. Ladies and gentleman of the jury after examining the evidence ,I submit to you that the wax figure does not favorably look like Obama but it is a false impostor likeness of Barack.

EXACTLY… I AGREE!

Nope! Its not even close. As stated above, too many items are off base.

Does this resemble Alfred E. Newman/ Barak Obama mix to you too?

Close enough!!

It favors him but his eyes are too close, his lips are little too thin, hair is a little too kinky, and his face looks more settled in. Pres. Obama is a little more youthful and good looking. But let me stop, regardless it’s still very great. The artist is amazing.

Well his eyes are definitely way off. They are too bulgy and weird looking. His hair is a little too much and his head shape just isn’t right. He also looks kinda creepy from a far away view, but other than that it’s not that bad.

You are right! His hair is not that “nappy” for real. CUZ HE IS WHITE!!!. Also his hair for real is a little more gray. It is a good wax figure tho’!

Why do you people have to analyze so hard? It a wax figure for craps sake not a clone! LOL…LOL… It does look like obama…I mean First glance , I wouldn’t guess Lawrence Fishburn…right? get a grip. And dude isn’t mr Hollywood either! He is a man…The president of the Unites States..Where is the professionalism people..and you too Mr obama!!

You guys are too much. How can you expect it to be “exact” ?
Unless it’s a direct copy from his face- like a facemask- it’s impossible to get a sculpture exactly like it’s subject. Most of you criticizing dont have a clue what it takes to sculpt a bust. Job more than well done.
