Honestly completely astounding how realistic those figures look (on camera*). That last pic literally looks like two women posing for a photo.
*They're not quite as lifelike in person, but they're still very close.

I was at an art gallery that had had a nude female figure so realistic that it embarrassed me to look at it. It felt like she would pop up and shame me at any moment.
Most figures at Madam Tussauds look completely fake, but a few recent ones (like this) look absolutely insane.
I took selfie with the Ariana Grande figure and posted it to Instagram saying I met her in a club and a few people were genuinely like "wtf where did this happen?!" I came clean a few hours later lmao but it was fun.

I'm more amazed at Angela Bassett's refusal to age than at the statue.
I mean, c'mon, 63?? Looks like 40.

I would think it was left (real Angela) lolHoly shit, if there weren't more pictures and you only showed me this one, I wouldn't know which one was real and which one was the wax figure.
The hands are always the give away.Holy shit, if there weren't more pictures and you only showed me this one, I wouldn't know which one was real and which one was the wax figure.
Nah, the bestThe people making those are fucking wizards, no other explanation.
But we all know the real GOAT figures are at the Wax Museum in Madrid
Until I watched the video and just glanced at the pictures I thought the real one was the right one hahaHoly shit, if there weren't more pictures and you only showed me this one, I wouldn't know which one was real and which one was the wax figure.
Apparently the ones where the person themselves come to get their measurements or w/e come out looking way better than the ones that are purely based on photo references.

Not sure the true origin but they came from an online auction that created a classic thread at the old place.

Makes me wonder if there was some kind of mishap where the figures were left in too hot a room.
