If you've got 1,200 to spare (that's roughly 1700 U.S. dollars to you lazy Americans), I've got just the thing for you -- a life size model of BioShock's coverboy, a Big Daddy!
Currently being sold on eBay, the life size model was created by the -based Studio Oxmox for Take2 Interactive. Life sized in this case means 6 feet, four inches, and 97 pounds. The seller notes that delivery is not an option, so you'll have to pick up your new friend.
"You will need a van or a lorry as the model is pretty damned large," they write.
Now, neither of our Brits are around to tell me what the hell a "lorry" is, but I'm going to assume it's something that someone who has too much money to spare owns. And if that person happens to be you, and you're fine with spending $1700 on a Big Daddy statue ... can I borrow some money to pay my rent?

Speaking of incomprehensible slang, it took me years to work out what an SUV was!
OK, I'll buy that explanation ... see, videogames CAN be educational.
I'm with you on the SUV issue because the first time I ever heard of it was on the internet, many moons ago and it was spelt ESYOUVEE. Who the hell spells things like that and what kind of acronym was that meant to imply.
Oh, and a lorry is a large truck, as if that hasn't become abundantly clear already.
And I bet it's not even self cleaning.
Still want it.
