wax.jpgIf you've spent the last 20 years wishing every day you had a life sized (6' 2") wax figure of Dalton, Patrick Swayze's dashing character from the 1989 smash hit Road House then you might want to stop reading this and step away from the computer for a while so your whole world doesn't come crashing down because you found out you missed your chance.

That is— unless you are the lucky duck who won just such a figure at auction recently. Logan Fleming made it, and according to the listing, this bad boy "sports his famous flowing 1980s hair style, khaki pants, and short sleeve black polo shirt." It's worth noting that shoes were not included, so if you bought this figure, the shoes must be obtained separately—the listing doesn't specify what shoe size the figure requires. No word on the final selling price, either.

[Thanks Agent M]

    I said one beer senor.

    Perhaps this is the first in a series. One can only hope to build an exact replica of the Double Duece by attaining the rest of the bouncers to go along with the Cooler. We’ll also have to throw in a Jeff Healey figure mounted behind chicken wire.

    I’m holding out for the life depleted cancer stricken edition, poor guy, RIP Patrick Swayze.

    That guy had a lot of testosterone. Male dancers have a lot of it.

    Check out those hands.

    My wife asked me what you would do with a life sized Patrick Swayze Dalton figure??? What wouldn’t you do with a life sized Patrick Swayze Dalton figure!!!

    OK…one more thought, then I’ll stop.

    Is the simulacrum programmed with multiple techniques? Is he “fully functional”?

    Just curious.

    But seriously – it is just a wax thing after-all that would melt after after a few minutes of fun.

    If my friend obtained this, I wonder if…ahem…she could use this as a template for http://www.realdoll.co…I‘m stopping now. He’s not my friend’s type anyway :+
