When contacting Customer Care to advise them of my disappoint, I must say, there was no fuss... the agent kindly asked to verify my email address and I had return labels in less than 5 minutes. In the event anyone can produce a doll that looks close to or resembles the First Lady, I will gladly make a purchase. I purchased more than one for Christmas gifts...

I am employed by the Danbury Mint...Greetings folks,<br />I am employed by the Danbury Mint and can't help but agree with the complaints here regarding the appearance of the Michelle Obama Inaugural Doll in comparison with the photo. There really is a noticeable difference, however (and I know you may not think I can be objective and that's fine) I am impressed with the quality of the doll. I don't quite agree with Gwen and her comments about DM "skimping on appliques" and that the dress doesn't match the photo. For the most part, I believe it does. Believe me, I can understand your disappointment in the difference between the photo and actual doll and I regret the photo was used. Having said that, if it were me receiving it, I believe I would be pleased with the doll. In my opinion it clearly resembles the first lady, even if not exactly like the photo. Also, a porcelain doll is basically a sculpture and an artist's interpretation. And as such, I believe the Michelle Obama Inaugural Doll is a fine piece.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-60906262959491576772009-12-09T21:57:59.153-05:002009-12-09T21:57:59.153-05:00This comes as no surprise to me.
