make it so by JeanLuc Dickhard	Jul 6th, 2006 09:14:43 AM

Nice by ILK	Jul 6th, 2006 09:16:13 AM
Beautiful work on that. Love the pink stains on the mouth.
Great contest, Harry! by Roguewriter	Jul 6th, 2006 09:17:55 AM
Sadly, the worst scars I have are from a crazed feline. Will still enjoy drinking to yer legs...
Sideshow by AlgertMopper	Jul 6th, 2006 09:21:49 AM
Just like everything else from Sideshow, it's overpriced junk
Likewise... by The Equalizer	Jul 6th, 2006 09:22:29 AM
My worst scar is a Harrison Ford-esque scratch on my chin when I got into a tear-up with a kid from school (22 years ago..). Next time, please make the criteria something like the following: "To enter, you have to be just shy of 6ft tall, have a skinhead, a winning smile and devilish good looks, a Cary Grant-esque air and a panache of week beer. As well as answering to the name 'Equalizer' and living in Surrey, England." Can I claim a free t-shirt?
As well as.... by The Equalizer	Jul 6th, 2006 09:24:32 AM
..a complete lack of a grasp of the English language!! "and a panache of week beer"?? Should read "and a penchant for weak beer!"
So people who live safe, healthy lives are exempt by Engineer_at_peac	Jul 6th, 2006 09:24:57 AM
Oh, I see how it is. I don't have any scars. I look both ways when I cross the street, cross my i's and dot my t's.
Love this contest! by L. Duderino	Jul 6th, 2006 09:37:08 AM
The scar-comparing is a MUST for this give-away. I have a scar of the time I used a chisel for some wood-cutting and it ended up between my thumb & index-finger. Not nearly enough umph to win the shark, right?
That's No JAWS!!! by JaPra	Jul 6th, 2006 09:50:34 AM
This thing is called JAWS, not "real shark." I'll always worship the ground Sideshow drips on, but this shark is no JAWS by a long shot. J.M. Prater
Do acne scars count? by The Guy Who Nods	Jul 6th, 2006 09:58:45 AM
If so, prepare for a picture of my ass!
Not worth the money by OhDaesu	Jul 6th, 2006 10:10:02 AM
$300? That's ridiculous
Oh great, a shark on a stick... by LeiaDown&FuckHer	Jul 6th, 2006 10:23:11 AM
We'll put "Jaws" on the bottom and the suckers will eat it right up...for $300 a pop.
It looks like Bruce is crying by Lance Rock	Jul 6th, 2006 10:24:37 AM

wow. a contest worthy of my time by rebel299	Jul 6th, 2006 10:27:31 AM
hmm, the gash on my hand where i got it caught in a tractor's fan blade at age 5 is hard to see these days. same thing where i lopped off a hunk of my thumb chopping potatoes in the boy scouts. maybe the scars on my knee where i learned that post surgical stiches just can't compete with rough sex. no, i think i know which one i'll use. jeez, i'm a damn walking accident and its about time someone gave me a model shark for my trouble.
Here's to swimmin' with bowlegged women! by Durendal	Jul 6th, 2006 10:38:16 AM
Wish I had a good scar.
Hey Chief, don't forget your rubbers! by Heywood Jablowme	Jul 6th, 2006 10:45:40 AM
I got a nice little scar on the back of my head where Mike James kicked me while wearing football cleats. That son of a bitch.
The Perfect Scar by Acappellaman	Jul 6th, 2006 10:46:39 AM
Three throwing stars converged at just the right time and just the right place thrown by three different people and culminated in a set of scars on my face that branded the perfect scar for this contest. Sadly, it was just a Halloween costume, so I don't think it would qualify for an entry in this contest. Then there was this time I had a hand coming out of my face. oh, the stories I could tell...
Can't anybody explain the $300 price tag? by Ronald Raygun	Jul 6th, 2006 10:47:35 AM
Does it grant wishes or something? I bought one of these when I was a kid at a Cracker Barrel gift shop for 99 cents. It's made of rubber and squeaks when you squeeze it, but it's the same damn thing.
Quit playin with yerself, Hooper! by IAmJack'sUserID	Jul 6th, 2006 10:52:04 AM

The MCFarlane one with the boat is cooler by I Dunno	Jul 6th, 2006 11:00:23 AM
although smaller.
that is a great prize by JeanLuc Dickhard	Jul 6th, 2006 11:13:26 AM
i just did it so wish me luck
Contest a bad idea? by Alkohal	Jul 6th, 2006 11:20:38 AM
You know I get the feeling this is a bad idea for a contest because you know some idiots gonna want to win so bad he's gonna go out and keep putting cuts into his body till he dies from bleeding to death. LONG LIVE POORLY THOUGHT OUT CONTEST.
Superman Returns Scarred me for life by Jugdish	Jul 6th, 2006 11:32:15 AM
I'll submit my before and after photos. What a piece of sh!t
can it be scars we've given to other people? by durhay	Jul 6th, 2006 11:55:43 AM
Just askin'
Meh... I love weta stuff. Own some. This is don't look by silentbobafett2	Jul 6th, 2006 11:58:29 AM
right! It looks unterrifying and qoute plain and simply. the stand is all wrong. The McFarlane one with the baot and jaws eating Quint (the real one!) was the best Jaws model. WHich, of course, I own! :-)
Yikes! by Varakor	Jul 6th, 2006 12:18:17 PM
This is gonna be one gross contest if quint is gonna post pics of the gnarliest. i don't have any, but hey good luck to those who do. Now I wonder How many will self inflict their wounds just to win this thing, or post pics from around the web. Really you can get some of the gruesomest scars from just about anywhere on the net.
photos by cyberskunk	Jul 6th, 2006 12:24:53 PM
I imagine a lot of appendicitis operation scars will be photographed.
my kids have a plastic shark that looks really scary. by mocky_puppet	Jul 6th, 2006 12:27:45 PM
this one looks kind of like that.
Crap by TechLord	Jul 6th, 2006 12:31:58 PM
Is "maquette" French for "looks like shit"?
Someone is going to cut themself to win this by barryap	Jul 6th, 2006 01:06:47 PM
And that someone is going to sue AICN.
Discrimination against the Healthy and Non-Klutzy by tripp5	Jul 6th, 2006 01:11:21 PM
the person who wins this thing better have a gnarly scar from a shark attack. otherwise this whole hoopla is lame
i know exactly who should win this... by keyserSOZE	Jul 6th, 2006 01:31:29 PM
what's the name of that young chick surfer who had her arm bitten off by a shark? i wonder if she reads AICN, she'd be the runaway winner...
Gonna strap some sirloins to my legs and goto the beach by George Newman	Jul 6th, 2006 02:16:09 PM
I'll win that statue for sure!!!
I nailed two of my fingers together with a nail gun. by JAGUART	Jul 6th, 2006 03:01:28 PM
I did this while working on a friends house. Pierced the split-calf gloves I was wearing. Went to an Urgi-Care and jokingly asked if they had a claw-hammer to remove it. They turned me away, so I ended up going to an emergency room where the doc told me it was cheaper if he didn't use anesthetic. I told him to go for it, and he pulled it out with a pair of pliers and wrapped my hand in iodine. But you can't even see the scars. He told me I got the "Gutsy of the Year Award."
actually, this is one contest in which i have a shot... by keyserSOZE	Jul 6th, 2006 03:09:35 PM
i picked a fight with a lawnmower and lost...i'm walking around with 7.5 toes now. don't you worry, i've already sent my scar pictures in to Quint...
Harry is using this contest to see child PORN !! by Darth Evil Dead	Jul 6th, 2006 03:40:25 PM
Thats right...Harry is hoping some little girls and boys take there shirts and pants off showing their scars and flat chests..and Harry is going to get off on it. The showing of the scars is just a aliby... Harry was just looking for a way to get child porn on his computer..and not get busted by the law..Claiming its for a "CONTEST". Harry knows that little kids will do anything to get this shark toy. He knows they will get naked infront of the camera for him. This whole thing is sick. I cant believe he is going to get away with this. http://www.youtube.com/user/Da rthEvilDead
Shark looks bad... by Spike Fett	Jul 6th, 2006 03:43:10 PM
The mouth is too small.
Sideshow isn't Weta... by Kraken	Jul 6th, 2006 06:13:43 PM
Sideshow partnered with Weta to release Weta's LoTR line, but Weta Collectibles is a diffrent company than Sideshow. But I think the shark looks awesome. A lot of times these things don't look as good in pictures as they do sitting on your desktop, but even in the pics, that shark looks pretty cool. I love the water base.
ahem... by smylexx	Jul 6th, 2006 06:25:30 PM
George Lucas scarred my childhood... he didn't quite "rape"it. I saw him unzipping and ran for the window BUT he DID manage to swipe me with his "lazer-sword" and almost used his throat pouch thing to suck me into a vortex created by his lawyers. Unfortunately i'm not sure it's enough to win the fish-on-a-stick. :o(
Jaws by tompbeast	Jul 6th, 2006 06:38:18 PM
whats that sticking out its ass?
That thing sucks. by MattCG	Jul 6th, 2006 06:50:54 PM
Seriously.
wow. it's a shark. by samsquanch	Jul 6th, 2006 07:38:58 PM
I think we're going to need a bigger bank account. with disposable income literally shooting out my ass in a gyser of blood, shit, and cash, before I consider paying that much goddamned money for a hunk of plastic mass produced in some starving backwater.
I think its the shark from Jaws 3 by Darth Evil Dead	Jul 6th, 2006 07:47:50 PM
Yeah that sure as hell is not Bruce. So I think the got a picture of Jaws 3D trapped in Sea World Orlando..And they are coping the Jaws from the scene when Jaws breaks the glass and floods the contol room. A 3D effect so amazing..it is still being talked about today.
I am the real turd furgeson by Turd Furgeson	Jul 6th, 2006 09:45:25 PM
Not that fag that just got an account and changed one letter in the name. Anyway, my wife, family and friends all make fun of me becuase I make it a point to watch Jaws at least once a week. It is, in my opinion, the greatest movie ever made. And I too, talk about it quite a bit. My wife bought this for me for my birthday (2 months ago) and I'm not expected to get it, according to sideshow, until around November..... I can't wait. I am having a shelf put up in my office special just for Bruce.. Wow, I just realized what a total geek I am......
To the guy who said he got one of these for 99cents.. by SK909	Jul 6th, 2006 10:36:09 PM
HOW ABOUT IT?!?! I'm so sick of these companies putting this stuff out. Especially the limited edition 'weapons replicas'. Like a lightsaber handle, a Star Trek phaser, Han Solo's blaster, or an Uruk Hai sword, whatever the hell it may be. They sell this shit for inordinate amounts of money and somebody must be buying it, cause they never stop putting it out. When we were kids, you could get this stuff as actual toys. It wasn't pussified either. I remember having a replica M16 from the 'Rambo Pack' and the thing looked a tad too real, even for back then. And I know it didn't cost more than 30 or 40 bucks. Probably a lot less then that, actually. Today, it'd be a miniature Rambo machine gun and machete on a little miniature stand made out of blow dried porcelain metallic alloys that are powder coated with nature's blackest liquified gorilla fur, or some made up shit about the composition of the materials, and then they'd stick it in a cheap plastic case and sell it for 300 bucks. It's a fucking joke. Am I buying a Reggie Jackson signed baseball, circa 1976? The only things I do like are those marvel statues cause they really have weight to them and they limit them enough so that they gain in value. I bought a few of them a few years ago and I'm looking on ebay and they're now going for like 5 times as much. Not a bad investment. Anyway, I also like the McFarlane stuff cause there's a fair amount of detail and it's not outrageously priced. They're nice enough that if you have like a beach themed room or something, you can throw THEIR Jaws piece in there as a little knick-knack or conversation piece and it's costing you a lot less than 300 bucks. Looks better too. Or if you have a home theater, throw a glass case on the wall and fill it with the movie maniacs figures. This sideshow stuff is just bullshit. That's all I'm saying...
I always hate to side with the mob here by TimBenzedrine	Jul 7th, 2006 09:44:37 AM
but when they're right, they're right. The maquette is underwhelming. They couldn't have comissioned a more active pose?
Look, "Jaws" is my favorite too... by Uga	Jul 7th, 2006 05:10:06 PM
... But that looks like something straight out of "The 40 Year Old Virgin." Except not as cool.
If you put this... by jrclanto	Jul 7th, 2006 07:57:24 PM
garbage on display in your house then you're an idiot. This is trash. Might as well decorate your house like an 80's captain D's.
$300??? Probably cost $10 bucks to make in China by Bong	Jul 8th, 2006 02:10:25 PM

Mary Ellen Moffat. She broke my heart. by PRAWNBALL11	Jul 8th, 2006 06:52:38 PM
Unfortunately my only scar is a paper cut...(gained when I was attacked by a crazed illustrator wielding a picture of a knife)
Even 10 bucks is expensive for a bottle opener. by PRAWNBALL11	Jul 8th, 2006 07:44:38 PM
Maybe the elderly could use it to store their dentures overnight? What about a sex toy for the Masochistic? Or even a novelty cigar cutter? Even a gadget for crimping the edges of your pastry? I'd only buy it if they produced one with a removable compartment underneath containing bits of Sindy.
anyone who buys this needs to get a life by Wee Willie	Jul 10th, 2006 10:37:28 AM
it's a toy shark.
The sad truth.. by NightArrows	Jul 11th, 2006 02:18:15 PM
...Is that I bet all the fucktards who are ripping this, already own it. It's called "deflection". Most of the wasted DNA on this site do it all the time by bashing queers, bringing to light you ALL smoke the cock and live in your parent's basements. I bet you are posting from Mom's computer that she uses for email and watching toilet bowl vidcams. Just. Fucking Die already.
ahem.. by smylexx	Jul 12th, 2006 09:49:04 AM
The above message is also called "deflection", by the way.
No... by NightArrows	Jul 12th, 2006 10:49:22 AM
....it's called "diffusion".
eh, i'd never spend $300 on that by BLWiseass	Jul 13th, 2006 05:15:11 PM
But if i can get it for free just for sharing my tale of how to get 8 stitches on spring break, then why the heck not
Jaws actually DOES look this lame by eighteenseconds	Jul 20th, 2006 02:40:32 PM
watch the movie again. he looks as ridiculously gaysome as the maquette. deep blue sea is where it's at. DEEPEST BLUEST WHUT WHUT cool j.
What if.... by misterWINKIE	Jul 26th, 2006 11:01:22 PM
what if I just go on some gore sight or some medical site...and lift a picture from there and use it....would the AICN crew know the difference if it is me or not? There is an idea.
Too soon by Badger999	Aug 2nd, 2006 09:41:06 AM
