As you all know, Madame Tussauds confirmed all five members of the phenomenally successful band, One Direction, are to be created as wax figures for a touring attraction that will kick off in three Madame Tussauds venues – London (April 18-July 11), New York (July 19-October 11) and Sydney (October 24- January 28). The sculptors creating the figures are working in close collaboration with the band and are aware thousands of fans will be clamouring for a look at their heroes’ doubles as soon as they make their debut at each venue.
Principle sculptor, Stephen Mansfield, commented, “We are acutely aware that millions of fans around the world will have a lot to say about these figures and we are determined not to let them down. We are hard at work to not only recreate totally accurate physical likenesses, but we want to inject something of the boys’ energy and personalities into their figures too. The boys have been a delight to work with, really co-operative and a huge amount of fun.” From start to finish the creation process will take four months and each figure will cost Madame Tussauds £150,000 to make. The boys will be grouped together casually seated on a school style double bench and fans will be able to sit right beside them. The boys will be dressed in their signature smart-casual stage style, modern tailoring with a fun, youthful twist.
In the meantime fans can keep up to date on how the figures are shaping up and also book ahead to be the first to meet the new One Direction figures, at www.madametussauds.com/1D. Every day this week a new picture of one of the boys will be posted and exclusive content will be added regularly.
