Buying a copy of a movie promotional stand is tame compared to doing things like buying over 1,000 cds just to shake hands with a 15 year old AKB48 member.

I'll wait for some of the Million Live or Cinderella Girls. Also, for those think these are creepy, these are completely harmless. If you want something to complain about, complain about the dakimakuras of real life idols that exist, those are creepy.

Nah, standees aren't that creepy. Well slightly creepy, possibly. But not that creepy.

And while i thought "cool" im not sure if they are worth that much money.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with a standee. It's an image. That stands on its own. If the owner starts making out with it, that's another story, but the object in itself isn't that odd.
