We're not sure there is such a thing as a *good* wax figure, but we're sure the people at the Fisherman's Wharf Wax Museum would like us to think so. In any event, your afternoon palate cleanser today is this collection (via Buzzfeed) of really bad wax figures that's making its way around the webs.

Perhaps one of our eagle-eyed commenters will recognize something. Here we give you a selection, featuring scary-bad versions of the Cast of Seinfeld, Julia Roberts, Cher, LeAnn Rimes (looking, um, "special"), Michael J. Fox, Barack Obama, and Pulp Fiction-era John Travolta and Uma Thurman. PREVIOUSLY: Wax Obama to Arrive at Wax Museum Today more ›
