An anonymous commenter to my blog post of August 20, 2010, regarding the TrueType African American (Obama) figure, wanted to know:
As shown in the above image, the "Obama" figure's tan-brown complexion has gray undertones while the "Terrence Howard" figure's complexion has a reddish-brown hue. With a head swap, I think the difference will be unnoticeable or barely so.
As shown better in this back-to-back image, at 12- and 11-1/2 inches, respectively, the "Obama" figure is taller than the Terrence Howard Figure.
Note: I did not remove the heads to test whether or not they will actually fit the other body, but I assume since they are both TrueType, they will.

Can I add the True Type Terrance Howard head to the True Type Obama body? Do the colors match well enough? I have been trying to buy True Type Terrance Howard but can not find it. I can only find the head.I replied, "yes," to the first question and promised to take comparison photographs to illustrate the complexion and height differences between these two figures.
(TrueType Obama removed his shirt without a fuss for the complexion comparison, but he adamantly refused to remove his tie.)

What is the "Official name" of the terrance howard TT figure?
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Lola,
DeleteThe Terrence Howard look-a-like’s official name is Hot Toys TrueType - African American (New Generation Slim Body Version). You'll probably be able to find it in search engines as Truetype African American Slim Body.
For those interested, the Obama look-a-like’s official name is: 1/6 Scale Truetype Body - African American Advanced TTM-15

Wow, what a blessing...you have both of my grails when it comes to male dolls. Very nice. You have a lot of nice dolls. Do you have a grail?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Georgia Girl!
DeleteI regret not purchasing Integrity Toys original Darius. I am confident that he'll eventually surface at a price I am willing to pay.
