Not sure what to make of this
This is a little different. So if you can't aquire a license to produce a Barack Obama figure, then you produce a
True-Type Figure Body
African America - Advanced Version
12 inch Figure
Item Number: 900972
Manufactured by: Hot Toys
Price: US $44.99

Hot Toys does this sometimes, they used to do it a lot in the military line. They save money on a licence and people get a celebrity for customs, it's pretty clever.

There have been a lot of companies doing the same thing over the past several years. I can recall many from the Dragon line of 12" figures.
Here is a link to a site that shows you some of the likenesses (good and bad.. and very bad) from the past.
