I know the Academy pretty much destroys anyone doing an exact replica, but does anyone know what chain or NYC stores might make a decent gold award statue item that is, as I often say, "good enough for YouTube?" I'm doing a quick video sketch and I need an Oscar-like awards statuette with similar size and heft.
I'm hoping someone knows of a store that stocks them so I don't have to go crawling through Chinatown and Little Italy looking randomly for a tourist shop. I'm not in LA, so they're far less prevalent here, and I also don't live in 1999, so SunCoast and Blockbusters are nowhere to be found either.
So far I've checked, in person and online:
Party City
Party Fair
Michaels
Target
K-Mart
Halloween Adventure/New York Costumes
Reminiscence
Anyone seen anyplace that has something close? I'd order it online, but I'd like to shoot this tomorrow.
Just for a guideline, I'm okay with this level of chintz:
Gold Plastic Statue from Windy City Novelties
Otherwise, I'm headed towards making something out of Sculpey... and I'm still tiiirreed from making Thanksgiving dinner for 16...
