    No shoes? What a rip-off.

    As was explained to me, not having shoes provides more opportunity for walking across broken glass bottles and saying “Pain don’t hurt.”

    No bloody knuckles? What a rip off.

    Set up a paypal account and I’ll personally contribute $ 0.26 to the fund. Such magnificence SHOULD be yours!

    I can contribute a table cloth from an Italian restaurant.

    So, if I may skip ahead: Mike wins the auction, hollows out the figure into a crude Swayze suit, and the San Diego police find themselves in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with the expressionless Pain Don’t Hurt Killer.

    You could make a Swayze mask then cover it with a Reagan mask.

    He has his shirt on? Didn’t they see the movie?

    Reply from Nerf on April 28, 2009:

    Don’t worry. I sent the following message to the auctioneer:

    “I have a question about the “Dalton” wax figure being auctioned. Can the shirt be removed from the figure? In other words, is it anatomically correct under the shirt?”

    Reply from Nerf on April 28, 2009:

    And I received this response:

    “The shirt can be removed from the figure, which is a conventional mannequin.”

    What the crap? 6′2″?

    Mike, you must make a claymation “stop-action” movie with him. Maybe a soliloquy from Hamet?

    You and Dalton may preach that….But until you’ve been crushed by a wax John Goodman……..WAX DO HURT!

  • 9 Mystok on Apr 28, 2009 at 8:19 am

    Sorry guys. The wax figure has just been hired to play a supporting role in the next Twilight movie.

    No, they need to be wooden and not wax.

    But who’s going to know after they’ve painted it “pale white”?

  • 10 Jesse on Apr 28, 2009 at 8:39 am

    For some reason my wife wants this for our bedroom.

    And then she’ll politely ask you to leave the bedroom, and you’ll end up watching reruns of “Who’s the Boss?” on Nick-At-Nite while eating a cold bologna sandwich and hearing auspicious noises emenating from your bedroom.

    Reply from Nyx on April 29, 2009:

    This just makes it more obvious that it’s not whether it’s anatomically correct under the SHIRT that really matters…

  • 11 Shawn on Apr 28, 2009 at 8:44 am

    Does the figure come with the clothes pictured, or supplied naked and you have to provide your own? Same question again, but for the wig?

  • 12 Ben on Apr 28, 2009 at 8:57 am

    Hmm, maybe I could dress him in camo and turn him back into Jed from “Red Dawn”…

    What will you do with it if you win it?

    I could suggest several things, like scaring the life out of your post or newspaper delivery person by standing it at your window. Or you could throw a lavish party and stand him at the door so no riff-raff can get in.

    Or, maybe you just want to stand it in your office/bedroom so you can give it a hug everyday.

    Just don’t put him in the corner. Nobody puts Dalton in the corner.

    Reply from awfulgoodmovies on April 28, 2009:

    A wild Dalton is dangerous when cornered!

    Reply from Earl Fando on April 29, 2009:

    I’d suggest taking turns wearing the mullet wig around the office.

  • 14 Queen Bee on Apr 28, 2009 at 9:37 am

    My favorite part of this entire affair is that Wax Dalton is clearly *too big for eBay.*

    ‘Tis a blessing that pain don’t hurt, because that left arm is at an entirely inhuman angle. An injury sustained, I assume, after the “Be Nice” and “Take It Outside” policies were enacted.

    His right arm is clearly made from an old, thin cured ham.

  • 15 BEMaven on Apr 28, 2009 at 10:45 am

    I’ll pass.

    Last year, I put in a bid on a wax figure of Swayze from ‘Ghost’.

    It never showed up.

    Same thing happened to me when I ordered the script for ‘Roadhouse’.

    I may be wrong, but it looks like that wax statue is too stupid to have a good time.

    One day, one day, Patrick will make his rifftrax debut. Until then…. you could just put this in the room with you. Magic will happen regardless.

    no other bids…NO other bids??!! What has this society come to when art such as this remains unappreciated?
    I say bid, young Nelson, bid until you can’t bid no more!

    I’m gonna bid on this… until it’s time to not bid anymore.

    Wow. They also have wax figures of Alexandria Paul from ‘Baywatch’, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, and Mel Gibson.

    But all five figures look like the same body with a different head.

    Julia Roberts and Mel Gibson with the same body? You just made my brain hurt.

  • 21 Brooke on Apr 28, 2009 at 2:17 pm

    Dear Mike, Bill and Kevin,
    Not wax. Still I feel you would be interested in this health food based bust. http://chiaobama.com/
    Sincerely,
    Brooke

    The real problem with this wax representation is that this Dalton has a shirt on…Didn’t they watch the movie?

    Reply from AJ on April 28, 2009:

    And he’s not bleeding either, I remember Dalton bleeding and quite a bit too.

    I find it disturbing that in the place of Moe they just used an extra Dean Martin figure they had laying around and slapped a bad wig on it.

    It’s a scam. They’re clearly trying to pass off an inferior Corey Feldman figure as a genuine Dalton. Nice try.

    I guess sometimes it’s best not to say anything.

    Having said that, I have to go to try to remove that image from my memory.
