Today we have a post of the Chinese basketball player Yao Ming. He stands here just outside the entrance to the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf. Ming is one of several figures used to lure guests into the popular San Francisco attraction, and his mere size is enough to bring many a look the museum's way.

A close up of the basketball star's face. This figure is wonderfully detailed, and it's expression really shouts Yao Ming!
