Nice replica, but the artist got the hair-do wrong.

1. I've seen some incredible wax figures, but...

that just doesn't look like Obama.

7. The artist took a weird turn when it came to getting his hairline/hairstyle

right.

11. Looks better than his official portrait does.

3. doesn't look like him

4. Hairline is off... eyes too small...

Something else about the proportion of the face.

Not their best work. But I'm glad to see they are all over this already!!

9. I saw that too. Hair line off. Otherwise a good likeness.

5. Why do wax statues look so creepy and unrealistic?

6. Very good. nt

8. Damn that's good!

I would have thought that was the actual Barack Obama if you hadn't said otherwise.

10. I think it's very good

I saw another angle on spiegel (I think) from the other side and it looks much more like him. I thought it was a photograph!

13. Does the German one look more like Barack,

or is it just me?
