I had a picture of Walt in the Movieland Wax Museum, but it got deleted for some reason. I still miss that place and I am sad that it closed. Fortunately, they say some of the wax figures will move to the Wax Museum at San Fransisco.

That doesn't really look like Walt at all... His hands are creepy.

I say the dwarfs are more creepier than Walt's hands!

That really is pretty creepy. I hope that their other wax figures looked better than that.

Oh and BTW Travelocity s**ks - I'd like to smash that gnome.

That is creepy, I agree. The partners statue is better, and it's made of bronze!

Thank you for sharing that picture!

I agree, it looks kind of creepy. His stickly arms throw the proportions off balance, in my opinion. I've noticed though...Wax figures are either dead-on accurate or not even close to the real thing. I've seen some that look so much like the real person, it's scary.

Alright, who made the wax figure. Because it doesn't look like Walt and it looks creepy.

Yeah, all the pictures I've seen of Walt show him kinda relaxed... in that photo, he looks stiff [I KNOW it's made out of wax :) ], but at least in the other photos, he looks happy and relaxed.
