INTRODUCING FIRST LADY EDITION OF
MICHELLE OBAMA LIFE-LIKE FIGURINE FROM
THOMAS BLACKSHEAR’S EBONY VISIONS COLLECTION
With all the aspects of a highly collectible and rare offering, collectors
and enthusiasts anticipate high demand for this First Lady Edition.
Artfully detailed, the figurine captures the essence of Michelle
Obama...elegant, sophisticated yet disarmingly down-to-earth, traits
she is certain to pass on to her own lovely daughters.
Ripon, CA — Limited to only 3000
pieces worldwide, Thomas
Blackshear’s figurine of Mrs. Obama
is an heirloom quality work of art that
can be passed down for generations.
Mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins,
girlfriends and co-workers, who
appreciate value and true character,
will want to own this significant piece
of modern history. However,
considering the popularity and limited
production of Blackshear’s soon-tobe-released
First Lady Edition, it is
expected that this figurine won’t be
available long. Orders should be
placed now at Collector Hub to
guarantee delivery of First Lady
Edition of Michelle Obama.
In the likeness of her official White
House portrait, Thomas Blackshear’s
interpretation of the First Lady is sure
to impress. A lovely complement to
the President Barack Obama figurine;
Michelle wears a classic sleeveless
dress resembling the one designed for
her by Michael Kors. As in the official
photograph of Mrs. Obama taken in
the Blue Room of the White House by
Joyce N. Bognosian, the First Lady
Edition figurine bares her delicately
sculpted arms to show off her
signature style.
Much like the highly sought after
Presidential Edition of the Barack Obama figurine, collectors will be
lining up to purchase the First Lady Edition Michelle Obama. Both
pieces are part of Blackshear’s Ebony Visions(TM) Collection and
pay honor to America’s first African-American Couple in the White
House. Order both figurines today at Collector Hub and begin a
personal legacy that can be handed down from mother to daughter or
other members in the family tree.
America’s infatuation with its First Ladies is not at all a passing trend.
President’s wives are an intricate part of this nation’s history. Serving
their country silently, the presidential wives have remained loyal and
supportive from the past to the present. First and foremost a mom and
wife, Michelle Obama is an inspiring example of one who believes it
is also her duty to serve her country.
“I believe that each of us - no matter what our age or background or
walk of life - each of us has something to contribute to the life of this
nation.” — Michelle Obama, Speech at the Democratic National
Convention
Kicking off her campaign Let’s Move,
Obama practices what she preaches by
working with parents and community to
help fight obesity in children. A motivating
example of hope, commitment and
determination, First Lady Michelle Obama
is sure to be an unforgettable figure in
American history and Blackshear’s First
Lady Edition figurine is an excellent way
to celebrate this remarkable woman.
