That was funny, RanRan! [And on point--WTF were they thinking besides trying to make money on someone's name?!]
I've always loved Bob Powley's work on Supremes figurines. I don't know if he still makes them, but I always wished I could've gotten a full set. Granted, some of Bob's figures look more spot-on than others, but... that's what can happen with original work [[and not castings). I think these two sets may have been what this manufacturer was going for. This is likely the gown the Xmas ornament maker was approximating...badly...and here's a Jean/Mary/Cindy version wearing the same gown [[which they did IRL):
As I said, there's a wrong way to do it...and a right way. Xmas ornament: incredibly wrong. Bob Powley sculptures: incredibly right.
