Re: Kirk in Wax...

The McCoy one looks pretty damn good, actually. Except for the stupid looking hair. the hair is what messes it up. The whole wig is a mess, but if you put your finger over the doc's mullet, he doesn't look quite as bad.

Am I crazy or does the wax statue look more like Shatner in the video

Kirk in TWOK uniform kinda proves my assumption that Star Trek is mostly remembered by the general public because of the movies, not of the TV show.

How does this prove your assumption? It's just a wax sculpture.

No, it does look a little better in the video.

LOL! Oh no, they all look awful. I think the problem with a lot of sculptures/drawings/comics is they try to make kirk looks more manly, with chiseled features, when in fact shatner has always had quite pretty, soft, feminine features

Anyone know where this thing is being displayed?
