Have you ever wanted to have your very own life-size wax model of Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, Muhammad Ali, Abraham Lincoln, Princess Diana, or Charlton Heston as Moses? Now’s your chance! Profiles in History is going to auction off over 200 hand-sculpted wax figures and original movie and television costumes from the Hollywood Wax Museum and Hollywood Guinness World Records Museum.

Bids can be placed either in person, via mail, phone, fax or online at LiveAuctioneers.com.
Authentic costumes will also be auctioned, including Robert Englund’s “Freddy Krueger” costume; Jason Voorhees’ costume from Freddy vs. Jason; Irene Ryan’s “Granny” hat from The Beverly Hillbillies and an original Cats costume on a life-size display figure.

O Man! I would love to have the cast of Star trek in my front yard. The problem is that they would probably melt in the sun and bugs would get caught in the softening wax. O well, another good idea reduced to a puddle.
When he was in college, a friend of mine was able to get a (nearly) full-sized statue of St. Patrick from a decommissioned Catholic Church.
It would be a blast to own “The Beatles” or Lucille Ball or Humphrey Bogart, but I think I prefer plaster statues to wax figures – wax figures are creepier!
