Nightmares on Wax: Top Ten Creepy Musician Wax Figures (which You Can Buy for Your Home)

Yesterday, we witnessed the Biebs on wax. No, we're not just talking about the Bieber scratchin' vinyl. That's right, like Han Solo being encased in Carbonite, the Canadian teen sensation was forever immortalized as a wax figure at Madame Tussaud's in London. Then it happened. While staring into the Nietzschean abyss of wax-Biebs' dead eyes, I remembered the results of a insomniac Google search that has polluted my memory ever since: Musician Wax Figures. In the depths of this after-hours search (Googling "Katy Perry Sesame Street Cleavage " would have been less embarrassing), I found a creeptastic gold mine. In 2009, the Hollywood Wax Museum "retired" some of their aging figures, and put them up for auction by Profiles in History. Finally, the (scary) wax likenesses of Michael Jackson, Cher, and Cindi Lauper (?) could be yours! In honor of the Biebster's induction to the pantheon of waxtastrophes, we compiled our Top Ten Creepy Musician Wax Figures (with a bonus figure, cause ours goes to 11) for your viewing (dis)pleasure:

It's interesting to see an actual price put on these musicians. Their price must fluctuate with how famous they are at any moment. How does Cher measure up to Michael Jackson? Why are they both worth more than Jesus (and Cindi Lauper)? These wax figures aren't just collectors items, they could be used as currency, or stocks. In a volatile market, only wax will prevail.
