The things people put on Ebay

Okay this goes in the "EW" catagory for the night....

This was on EBAY

200. Darth Vader prosthetic head scars from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. (TCF, 1983) These hand-painted foam latex prosthetic scars were created by Stuart Freeborn and used by actor Sebastian Shaw as the unmasked Darth Vader during the final scenes of the film, when Vader finally renounces his allegiance to the Dark Side. In 1998 the Kurtz / Joiner Archive bought a large number of pieces from creature creator and special effects wizard Stuart Freeborn, who was responsible for creating such memorable characters as Chewbacca and Yoda, and these were part of this collection. The prosthetics are mounted to an 8 in. x 10 in. image of Shaw wearing the appliances, in character as the de-masked Darth Vader. Comes directly from the Kurtz / Joiner Archive, and accompanied with a letter of authenticity from the Archive signed by Jason Joiner. $3,000 - $5,000

I'm sorry my wife posts gross latex bacon stories, but then how could you not be intrigued by this?
