5.0 out of 5 stars President Elect-Obama as a Paper Doll!, November 30, 2008

By 

Debbie Behan Garrett "Black-Doll Enthusiast" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Obama Paper Dolls: Collectible Campaign Edition (Paperback)

I "slept" on acquiring this set of Obama paper dolls for several months after their publication and was almost in a state of panic and near devastation post-November 4, 2008, when I discovered the Dover website listed the set as "sold out." I immediately went to Amazon.com and was relieved to see them listed as available. I promptly ordered two sets--one for myself and one for a friend. There was a slight delay in their arrival, but they were well worth the wait.

While the dolls do not look exactly like the new first family (none of Tierney's paper dolls are an exact mirror image of the people they represent, which is probably intentional on his part) I am quite pleased with the set of four dolls. It includes President-elect (soon to be President, and I love that title for him!) Barack Obama, wife Michelle, and children Malia and Sasha. The down side is that the girls only have one extra outfit ... but who plans to cut out the dolls or their clothing?

Overall, I love the set for its historical significance and the enhancement it will give my Obama memorabilia collection and my black paper doll collection. I highly recommend it for fellow adult paper doll collectors as well as children--boys and girls.

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT A GREAT OBAMA COLLECTIBLE, February 10, 2009

I saw this book with its "COLLECTIBLE CAMPAIGN EDITION" banner and though this would be nice as a collectible. I don't know much about paper dolls so I guess that alone should have steered me away from this book. As another reviewer stated, the Obama doll doesn't look like Obama at all...not even close. The Michelle one is slightly better but still not that accurate. I guess if you like paper dolls, this is a good book for you. I just wouldn't recommend it for someone like me who was just looking for some collectibles from this election

I have collected paper dolls since I was a child. I especially like celebrity paper dolls. I'm so excited to have the Obama set. I got it before the election and am thrilled with it.
