You can tell that’s Tyra, but it’s not on point. Like the got the eyes covered, but the bottom half of her face is kind of different…or maybe its her cheekbones, I don’t know. I saw another one of her and it was just messed up, at least this one is much better :/

Oh my goshhh!
I thought that was RuPaul until i read the headline
why would they make her look like a drag queen?
I would sue them!

Everything is on point. The best thing about Tyra’s wax figure is that it keeps its mouth shut!

That does not look like the Tyra that I’ve seen with the fake nose and fake hair. Take away the weaves and put back her real nose,and she won’t be all that!

You should see the Amy Winehouse wax figure, now THAT figure looks mighty like Amy…best one Ive seen so far..

They need to fix the eyes and the eyebrows are way too high.
25.
nope the forehead not big enough!
Thursday, July 24, 2008 /

Wax figures are never 100% like the real person. I would have no hesitation guessing Tyra here.

They Did A Good Job Tyra Look Very Draggish Anyway And Fake. Lol At Gt Keeps Its Mouth Shut. Tyra Knows Shes Irritating As Hell.
29.
hmm...
Thursday, July 24, 2008 /
I couldn’t figure out what was off with her face but I think it’s the from the eyebrows up. From the eyes down though, it does look like her.

Oh Yeah, The Wax Figure Of Amy Is Pre Crack, But They Straight Nailed Her.

Madame T’s black wax figures are the worst. The only two that are decent are Sam Jackson and Morgan Freemans. Everyone else (black) was just thrown together. It’s not worth the money. Madame T needs to lower the ticket price. My son loves going there because of the haunted house, which is very scary. But the rest they can keep. Oh, they have a nice gift shop.

Oh, Biggie’s wax figure looks the best…

I voted no. They almost got it right, but not quite. The eyebrows are too high, and that’s not her nose. It should’ve been shaped better.
42.

Looks just like her…fake and unreal. Can’t get any closer.

Has anyone seen the Amy Winehouse figure? That one is on point. It looks exactly like her.

The second picture shows it in a better light, it looks like her.
The eyebrows make it a little tranny.

I think it looks like her. To me, the only thing throwing it off are the eyebrows; I see they were trying to give her a fierce look but it didn’t work very well. Her face is a little wider than that also.
49.

Nope. The eyes are off. They need to do those over.

She’s too skinny, would be my problem, and she’s bustier. Her neck look real strong too. But that lace wig is fitted well! LOL

LOL @ #42: “Looks just like her…fake and unreal. Can’t get any closer”
LMAO I can’t agree more with you UB. I still love you Tyra. They did a good job.

From the side, it looks just like her. From the front, it looks like a cross between her and Rupaul. It is the cheekbones and jawline and the fact they didn’t put enough fat in her face.
72.
WTF?
Friday, July 25, 2008 /
At first glance, I thought it was Vanessa Williams.
73.

75.
Woop a.k.a. I hate haters... does that make me a hater?
Friday, July 25, 2008 /
it kinda does and then it kinda doesnt. Amy Winehouse looks ridiculously life like, (minus the self harm scars, bloody toes and drug fuelled nose obvs)
