I saw this in Entertainment Weekly it's called African-American Gothic. It's Beyonce and Jay-Z.

You probably already have it, don't you? ;)

Nope, didn't have that one in my collection. :D Now I have to run out and get a copy of EW.

When I was in Eldon, IA last summer, I learned that American Gothic is probably the most parodied artwork around. They had a display of some of the better examples at the visitor center and it was amazing to see the variety of settings/characters over the years.

You can also buy a copy here:

It's more expensive than a copy of EW.

So I guess I'll just stick with the EW version. Thanks for the heads up!

Given a guess, I'd have said Kanye. The eyes aren't very Jay-Z.

But, I mean, it's TOYS, fercryinoutloud, so how much of a likeness can you get....?

I can't identify them from a photograph much less a likeness on a toy.
I don't see a striking resemblance to Beyonce' either. Of course that's JMHO.
