Pop Culture League Challenge: House of Wax

PopCultureLeague-Logo-MediumThere were some awesome nostalgic memories unearthed in last week’s challenge about early arcade memories. Let’s keep the ball rolling with a more offbeat topic this time around. This week’s challenge to the Pop Culture League is…


House of Wax

The local Wax Museum is having a fire sale and you have the opportunity to add a life-size, life-like action figure to your collection. Who do you choose?


The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!

Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote, or you can also link to them on social media.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

      Great choices! I didn’t even think of classic cartoon characters. Do they have those at wax museums? I may have to go to one.

      Outstanding choice. I just feel like Phil has wisdom to dispense to everyone, in a calm, cool manner. The greatest hero ever.

    There was only one real choice for me. You want something impressive to great people when they enter your toy room.

    I always come last so that I can share all the great choices and websites with my people over at the Cave of Cool.
