For sale on eBay, one life-size statue from Mars Attacks. I am not suggesting that anyone buy it, particularly with the starting price being as high as it is. If you are a fan of uber-expensive kitsch and you think that Tim Burton is the hottest thing since sliced bread, then perhaps you might want to make the foot soldier your own. Otherwise, join with me in silent mockery, as this “one of a kind” statue has attracted zero bids.

I don’t know anyone that was much of a fan of Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks. It just didn’t do it for me and I am assuming that a lot of other people felt the same way. Personally, I blame this atrocity, but there are others, including this one. I don’t think anyone has ever forgiven him for thinking that Michael Keaton would make a good Batman.

The statue appears to be very good quality, according to the blurb on eBay:

Here, carefully and expertly crafted with the highest quality and workmanship you will find, is a professionally-made life-size statue of a foot soldier from Mars Attacks. This statue is screen accurate from its boots to the evil sneaky look it’s face. This is from a private collection and was displayed in a smoke-free environment. This piece is fully assembled and painted and is a perfect addition to any SCI-FI art collection. – The figure stands at 5′3″ – The head is made out of resin and is hand painted – The body is made out of a plastic armature with a spandex plush spacesuit. -The fingers and arms flex, so they are pose-able – All other parts on the spacesuit are rubberized spandex with plastic and metal parts. – The gun is made of plastic, wood, and metal parts – The head and the gun are removable – Stands firmly on a sandy textured base – The fluorescent orange skeleton is made of resin and is removable – The backpack is made of plastic and is removal with a Velcro attachment.

Starting from $3,600, my guess is that the first bid will get it.
