The TrueType Obama was an immediate purchase, too. <br /><br />There is a slight color difference between these two TrueType figures. The Obama figure has gray undertones while Terrence is a reddish-brown, but I believe you can use Terrence's head on the TrueType Obama body without it being obvious that the head is a different color. You'll probably be better off doing this because Terrence's body is shorter than Obama's. I will take and post comparison images later today. Stay tuned. Great question!<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-81143538442008909362012-03-21T02:53:46.265-05:002012-03-21T02:53:46.265-05:00Can I add the True Type Terrance Howard head to th...Can I add the True Type Terrance Howard head to the True Type Obama body?

I initially was going to use AA Lingerie Barbie #5 with my TrueType Obama, but after the Basic dolls were released, I decided to use <a href="http://blackdollcollecting.blogspot.com/2010/08/truetype-obama-meets-10.html" rel="nofollow">model 10</a>. Good luck in finding clothing for your TrueType. I found a very well-made ensemble on eBay for mine offered by a seller in Japan, which also included socks and shoes.Black Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-86377286918283137202010-12-28T19:28:07.187-06:002010-12-28T19:28:07.187-06:00Hi, loved your blog and was up in the air on what ...Hi, loved your blog and was up in the air on what Obama doll I wanted to get but you've helped me decide! I just ordered the Truetype one right from the same website you ordered him from! I think the face is spot on compared to the other one even though he does come with a suit and a better body. Can't wait to get him and I am pairing him with the AA lingerie #5 silkstone as Michelle.pattidollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571226566063481715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-43430554339603900682010-10-08T17:39:44.250-05:002010-10-08T17:39:44.250-05:00Anonymous,

Do you have an opinion as to whether or not the size would be correct? I can do "surgery" as needed to make the parts fit. <br />Thanks for any input you might have:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-6273840989523412662010-08-22T20:45:27.188-05:002010-08-22T20:45:27.188-05:00Ms. Leo,

You could always add the mole missing from the TrueType figure with a dot of paint, or leave it as is. <br /><br />I only have one deboxed Christie, Talking Christie. I could probably redress her as FL Michelle Obama. I can see Talking Christie redressed in a J. Crew type outfit and the doll paired up with either of the two Obama figures. Too bad I don't sew or know of a fashion made for Barbie that fits the description. I'll think on it and come up with a solution. Thanks for suggesting Christie.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-20090731976967162262010-08-22T08:20:56.329-05:002010-08-22T08:20:56.329-05:00Wow, I like this post.

After seeing the DID verison, I am glad I got the True Type. I don't like the shiny body of the DID. I do miss the mole but I can live with that. Smart idea getting the extra body for the DID figure. <br /><br />Some Ken clothes work for True Types and some don't. Shoes don't work at all. I think we both need some Chicago team items for him.<br /><br />I use Julia as Michelle on my blog post. She does alread have another mate. (She is one of my "go to dolls".) She is not exactly Michelle but I would love to see Adel/Michelle.<br /><br />I can't wait to see more pic from you. I'll have to take a picture of him with Colin Powell.<br /><br />Hey, as an action figure, he should have come with the Peace Prize shouldn't he? Or Airforce One!
