i said statue because idk how to spell manaken(SP)...

if i saw it i would have said "What Tha?" and then look at him and ask him "How did you get this to look like me?" but i wouldnt faint.....actulaly i would faint just meeting him...

he has a statue of her because he really loves her and he wanted to marry her. if i saw that statue of me i would freak out a little and then just kiss him because he loves me.

hahah, it´s called obsession! I think that if Id see a statue of me I´d have said something like: riiiiiiiiight...you did this?wow, that's... that's pretty amazing...wow, that really looks like me! omg, you genius! you didn't put any pimples on my face! oh wow I love you! and it would be a little weird. but I've got like thousands of pictures and drawings of him, so I guess that makes it even.

Why did you guys wonder when you obviously realize why he had it?

He was obsessively in love with her, of course.

As for how it looked exactly like her? I didn't wonder that either.

We have a guy who can:
- Act like a ghost so believably that everyone actually seemed to believe in a ghost
- Throw his voice everywhere like that
- Apparently able to sing a into some sort of a trance
- Create tons of mist into her room or an illusion of mist

...It didn't really surprise me that he was able to build a look-alike doll.

Yeah well. I know WHY he has it. Cuz of love, duh. But as to how I don't think they had the "tech" for that. Just sayin

Well you put the emphasis on the 'WHY' in your question. (:

I was looking for other peoples ideas I guess. Plus I had just watched the movie and I thought 'well phantom there you go, that's what you get for showing her the life size doll of her.'
but I love the phantom all the same.
Plus Gerard Butler...mmmm.... :D

That IS a little creepy.

because he love her and he made a gift for her also the song

Not wondered so much as knew why.. and it's been said.. obsession.. love and well cos he can..

and it's mannequin :) just for future reference haha..

@Masked127 i totally agree

I never had paid any attention to it until now to me it seemed a little suspicious what was he planning on doing to make sure that Raoul never got involved.
