Movieland Wax Museum- The King and I

This scene from the Movieland Wax Museum shows the classic film The King and I. Here we see Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner. These were great figures, and this tableaux was often featured in advertisements, particularly in the museum's earlier days.

With the flash on, we can see more detail in the figure. How easy would it be to put a cowboy outfit on this figure and create a Westworld scene.

The Deborah Kerr figure is also detailed. Full torso figures are more difficult to produce than the typical head and hands style.

The scene from a slightly different angle.

The clapboard sign with some minor details about the film.

The figures were not for sale at the Movieland auction, but the set minus a few props sold for $200. The Yul Brynner figure, and perhaps the Deborah Kerr figure ended up at the World Wax Museum in South Korea.

Music Valley Wax Museum- Little Jimmy Dickens

The first country music star you'll pass in the Music Valley Wax Museum of the Stars in Nashville, Tennessee is Little Jimmy Dickens. One of the true legends of country music, Dickens was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1983. He is currently the oldest member.

Here's another shot of the musician with his autographed hat.

Another view of the figure, this time with flash on.

Most of the figures have name plaques, which is good because not all of them are easily recognizable.

Southwestern Historical Wax Museum- Bonnie and Clyde

When you think of the Southwestern Historical Wax Museum, you think of Bonnie and Clyde. Famous for its "Bonnie and Clyde death car", the museum seemed to feature the two in most of its advertising. Although that car was actually from the popular movie about the two outlaws, and not the true life car, these two figure are representing the real life criminals (A Bonnie and Clyde movie tableaux was also on display at the museum).
