A waxwork of America's First Lady, Michelle Obama, has taken up residence in London alongside a figure of her husband Barack.
Mr Obama's figure was unveiled at Madame Tussauds one year ago, and Mrs Obama's is joining him for a "limited period".
The making of the model is to celebrate the first anniversary of the President's inauguration.
Visitors can meet the pair in a "painstaking" recreation of the Oval Office.
A touch of domesticity has been added - a selection of family photographs showing some of the key moments from the Obamas' first 12 months in the White House adorn the Resolute desk replica.
Close attention has been paid to Mrs Obama's interest in fashion, as the figure wears a stylish purple dress.
Mr Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States on January 20, 2009.
He is shown in a relaxed pose, smiling with arms casually folded, dressed in a tailored suit.
The First Lady will be in residence in London until mid-April, when the figure will make its way to its permanent home, Madame Tussauds' new attraction opening in Bangkok, Thailand, this summer.

Wow! They look just like wax figures!
No,wait....
"And here's Dear Leader apologizing to the Iranians, and here he is bowing to the Saudis, and here he is taking over GM, and here he is, uh, trimming the Constitution..."
are all of the US presidents in there as well?
"... a true fashion icon?"
"Could our party leaders' wives look stateside for some inspiration?"
Wow!
Skin looks a little light.. was that on purpose or did they just not want to scare all the white people that stop by to see it?
It was nice of Patrick Ewing to model for that wax figure of Manchelle!
Can't tell from the picture, but I'd say Michelles' isn't very accurate, as her a$$ would make it cost prohibitive to make a wax dummy of the dummy.
Waxen Marxists—how touching.
Painstaking recreation? Were there copies of fake ACORN ballots on the floor?
Was there a copy of Mao’s Red Book on the desk?
Were there 10 or more mirrors in the room?
Was there a small headphone at the desk so that the LOON could appropriately respond (via prompting by someone with measurable IQ) to questions that didn’t concern his idiot self?
Regarding the British styling ladies, would you mind posting some pictures of Lady Diana, my dear?
Heh! They even created the “boob belt”.
By the way, her eyebrows dont look evil enough, yet.
LOL! I was hoping someone who post this!
