Someone said it looks more like Walter White in Dudesguise, and I can't really disagree, but if you're ever in Myrtle Beach this is something neat to see.

Inaccuracies aside, he looks pissed off.  That's really not a good representation of the character.

Yeah, pretty lazy work.

Wrong color on the shirt and pants, and this guy is about 100 pounds lighter than the Dude. It was neat to see, as I didn't expect to run into any Lebowski related stuff, but this is clearly the work of a bunch of fuckin amatuers.

Yeah this expression would've worked better if they put him at the bar with donny and walter instead of at the lanes.

Many years ago a friend and I would go to the Hollywood Wax Museum in Buena Park, California, and spend most of our time laughing and commenting on everything they got wrong; it was so bad that we were surprised when they got something right.  When we heard they were closing the doors in October of 2005, naturally we had to go for one last walk through.  It was pathetic.  They hadn't maintained any of the older exhibits--the figures were drooping and dusty, the paint was flaking off of them, the clothes were falling apart, etc.--and the "new" figures looked so much like wax that we were surprised they didn't have wicks sticking out of their heads.  They had added a display for the 1989 Batman movie, and it was literally nothing more than a mannequin wearing an off-the-shelf Batman costume.  ::)

I'd like to see Madame Tussaud's do a Lebowski figure.  My wife and I have visited their locations in Hollywood (California) and Las Vegas (Nevada), and they get it right far more than they get it wrong.

I find that dude disturbing.
Like in the original planet of the apes when Charlton Heston finds the black dude taxidermied by the monkeys.
