Many historical figures are easily recognized from photographs and well-known paintings, but can you identify these notable (or notorious) people made from Play-Doh?
Since these are original sculptures, the resemblance is not always as accurate as I would like. Hopefully, that just adds to the challenge! :)
This quiz is awesome! And honestly it must have be a lot of fun to make these haha. I think I can safely say that you are the most creative and artistic quizmaker on JetPunk. I always look forward to see what you come up :)
Yup, must have tried 20 ways of how to spell hussain, (ei or ai, s or ss, u ou or oe ) or even more (probably did some ways several times, cause I feel like I tried it nearly 40 times)
Pelé would be a good choice as he is born on my state as he is the absolute king of soccer (don’t trust on Argentinians with Maradona 😅😜), but also cool picks of Brazilians could be Juscelino Kubitscheck (president, who built Brasília), Ayrton Senna (one of the best F1 racers ever), or Oscar Niemeyer (architect, with many beautiful buildings all over the world).
But don’t feel obligated to add a Brazilian on this series! Is already gorgeous the way it is! :)
Unfortunately, I deconstructed them as soon as I took a picture, so I can't give you an exact number. However, I'd estimate that they averaged around 3-4 inches tall.
Okay, that's decently sized. It would have been pretty cool to keep them all and then have a collection. You probably didn't want to purchase all that play doh, though
Fantastic work--worth it for the play-doh people alone. I tried so many different spellings of "Halie Selassie" and it was Frederick Douglass all along. Should have paid closer attention to the hair.
Great quiz. I tried so many people for Frederick Douglass - sad to say I have never heard of him, but then I'm British, we had our own heroes of anti-slavery.
Before anyone complains about Frederick Douglass’ inclusion - he was the most photographed man of the 19th century, making it an important test if people can still identify him by appearance today
Woke has nothing to do with it. This is a great effort and brilliant quiz, but that does not look much like Douglass other than the clue of the wispy strands of white hair. Douglass had a broader face and fuller hair at the sides in most photos. Although not sure I can come up with another historical figure that looks like that.
Brilliant and beautiful - I cannot believe you took them apart. If I'd made those they'd be sitting on my mantelpiece for all to admire! Thank you.
Like many others I'm off to look up Frederick Douglass - not all famous names make it across the Atlantic Crusty and Europe has many, many heroes of its own. I was astonished to discover the other day that my Canadian cousins hadn't heard of Edith Piaf.
Thanks for the fun quiz! I'm amazed at how well you are able to render people in Play-Doh. I hope to see more of these in the future, though I'd imagine it must be quite time consuming for you.
Looking back at them all after the fact, the same color was used for the skin of Marley, Douglass, Gandhi, and... Stalin. "Uncle Joe's Cabin" probably wouldn't have had the same impact...
It's shameful that Douglass is by far the least recognized.
I don't think Confucius belongs on here. Although he is not the only one on here whose likeness predates photography (or oil painting, for that matter), there's really nothing that identified him as him - that really sets him apart. At least with Cleopatra, the jewelry really narrows it down. I only got him because I had plenty of time to keep typing a bunch of things really quickly to see what "stuck", and since he was vaguely East Asian looking, it wasn't too hard. I think that Mao would be better because any representation of him could be nailed down as being more accurate.
You really shouldn't accept "Marie" for Marie-Antoinette! She's not known as Marie, nobody calls her Marie, and there are so many women named Marie throughout History... it just doesn't make any sense!
Congrats!
The difference is really in the glorious moustache.

was this legit just featured after a day!?Amazing quiz dug!Or what if Play-Dohs make SVGS of Dug?
Love seeing the effort you put in this :)
Greetings from Spain! <3
Again, love the quiz and would like to see more.
