American Heritage Wax Museum- The Bar at Tombstone

In this scene from the American Heritage Wax Museum, we see the Clanton boys harassing the Earp boys. Wyatt, and his brothers, Virgil and Morgan, seem put out by the open lawlessness of Tombstone Arizona. This tension leads to the famous "Gunfight at the OK Corral".

A closer view of the Earp Boys. They seem to be having fun gambling. The women of the saloon also seem to be enjoying the company of the Earps.

I suppose this is Doc Holliday. He looks pretty good for someone with Consumption. The showgirl doesn't seem to mind either.

The "evil" Clantons. Although they couldn't seem to back it up with their pistols, these cowboys talk a mean talk in the bar.


From the side, and in color, the bad guys of the town won't let the Earps have any fun.

From the front and in black and white. The old west has been glorified the last century, but I wouldn't want to live in such a lawless place.

News- Jackie Chan Kicks His Way into Madame Tussaud's

Almost in time for his new movie The Forbidden Kingdom, Madame Tussaud's in New York unveiled a new Jackie Chan Figure yesterday. The simple figure has Chan posing in a traditional outfit. Not much fanfare went into the unveiling, some martial arts experts helped with its introduction, but Chan wasn't in attendance.

A closer shot of the figure. Like most figures at madame Tussaud's, he has a happy expression. Imagine posing with it and it has a sour look on its face.

Close up. Great detail as always.

Hollywood Wax Museum- The Ten Commandments

In today's post we see the image of Academy Award winning actor Charlton Heston(1924-2008) as moses from the motion picture The Ten Commandments. In this epic scene, Moses returns from Mount Sinai only to discover the Jews worshiping the golden calf. In a moment of righteous anger, Moses destroys the commandments, and judgement is fallen upon the Israelites. Unlike most wax depictions of Moses, this one highlights the Moses of film, and not the Moses of history.

Another view of the classic figure shows that its expression doesn't quite seem to reflect the full amount of anger Moses had towards his people. However, the figure does have a charm that the vintage figures always seemed to convey.
