No, not the _actual_ Walt Disney- not only would that be against eBay regulations, but he wasn’t really frozen. But, for the animation fan who has everything, it’s the next best thing: a one-of-a-kind wax sculpture of [Walt himself](http://cgi.ebay.com/Walt-Disney-Effigy-Life-Size-Museum-Wax-Figure-LE-of-1_W0QQitemZ7625743320QQcategoryZ790QQcmdZViewItem). Why anyone would want this, I have no idea, but this struck me funny:

I guess this would be an interesting way to fool your friends if you kept the head in the package. “Why yes, Walt Disney _was_ frozen. In fact, I have his body right in my house. Wanna see?” Of course, ever since that _SNL_ sketch, you may need a Vivien Leigh head to go along with it…

I’ll admit that the sculpture is. . . odd, but MouseSurplus is such a neat group/business/whatever. They sell stuff from the parks that are no longer in use- ride cars, doors, etc.

Cool stuff, if you’re a Disney fan!
