Annoying commercials aside ...

I am looking for a gift for my best man (wedding in two weeks!) and one option I am considering is a Joe Montana fathead. He's a big 49ers fan and we both ran into Joe at a mall in Sacramento. Has anyone bought a fathead before? Are they worth the money ($99 plus shipping)?

And no, he won't appreciate a Leinart fathead. :(

This is a longshot, but could you order a fathead of Aeneas Williams sacking Steve Young? Back on topic, I have nothing.

I bought the fathead of Leinart-

and loved it till I walked into my Cardinal room one morning and found him lying all crumpled up where it had fallen off the wall. If you have any texture on the wall of any kind it won't stick!! THey are fabulous but only on a smooth wall.:(

I am in the construction business and I see very few smooth walls out there .. they should tell you that before you order ...

I think the helmets look good. ASU & the Cards in particular. But I would never buy one for that price.

They are not cardboard--

Nothing chases most chicks away quite like a GIANT cardboard cutout figure.

They are made of a soft light plastic peel off material that is very sticky and when it is put on the wall has a very real 3D effect. They are very large and lifelike.

That's nice, but it still looks like a female repellant to me.

I'm definately female--

And looking at Matt every day on my wall did not repell me!! Or my other female friends we just went by and gave him a kiss.
