Statues/MBs that look like real people

There was a post inferring that the Hard Hero Capt Marvel sneak peek looks like Willem Dafoe.

Bowen Designs' Hawkeye MB has been cited as looking like Scott Bakula.

My Dynamic Forces Havok MB looks like John Travolta to me.

Has anyone else seen 'real people' (Elvis?) in their statues and MB's?

Come on, who wants to revive "Seperated at Birth"?!

I'm just waiting for the Joe Pesci-as Molecule Man MB! Who's with me!

Actually the posts implied these things. You inferred it from looking at them. One's active (imply) the other's passive (inferred).

I'm not trying to be a pain or insulting and I apologies if this seems overly didactic. I was an English Lit major and these things always catch my attention.

Careful, you leave yourself open when you post stuff like this.

Sorry, you were being a dic-what? Just kidding!

I thought the posting of a mugshot of Willem Dafoe was a passive act, which was inferred and not implied. (Wasn't there a movie scene of this very same discussion???). Thanks for the clarification--sincerely! Not sarcastic in any way!

Oh well, I have a DF bust of John Travolta as Havok. Is that a bad thing?
