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 :/

About 2 more inches of forehead and its perfect!

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!
22.

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!
23.

It looks like Beyonce/Tyra, its a good attempt.
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.

Hmm..imm hard core Tyra fan.. and im kinda disapnted.,i mean It KINDA look like her.. but i think its the eyebrows or something or that smerk they got her having.. its something.. i like her other wax figure better..
48.

Thursday, July 24, 2008 /
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.

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.

No ,does not look like her..they made her look white and botoxed out…they definitely need 2 try harder..
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)
76.
Ladyzubee
Friday, July 25, 2008 /
I mean you can see that’s her but something’s off & they made her look like a drag queen..I agree with everyone who says Amy’s one looks WAYYY better,it’s so freaky,it looks so much like Ms.Winehouse!
#21 THEREALEST:”The best thing about Tyra’s wax figure is that it keeps its mouth shut!”
Ha ha!! I agree

#23 I was just about to say amy’s wax work looks JUST like her-infact it looks better, and my girl didn’t even go for a sitting they just did it just by looking at pictures of her.
This one kinda looks like tyra but the eyebrows and the mouth and the no… something off man
78.

That looks more like her than Beyonce’s does of her. The pout she makes with her lips, I think they got that good. Her skin tone could be a shade or two darker, but over all I think it looks like her.
79.
Camille

They did a look when she was a lil thinner. It looks like her, but I still don’t like it…the eyebrows are wack…but the messed up weave (scalp) is right on!

She is so sexy with the gorgeous dress on her. Is she single now? Her profile was found on the on the wealthy dating club R I C H L O V I N G.C O M for hot guys and girls to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating, “she is so picky about guys!” according to officials of that site, “they have to be fertile douches or she won’t date them!”
86.
Original Truth (I don't care if ya get mad)
Friday, July 25, 2008 /
Something is a little off but it looks like her… they should fill in her cheek area more and bring those brows down a tad, well yeah they should thicken her up….. she looks bewitched…lol..dang it I guess I don’t like it from a distance…

This statue looks just like her, I think they did a good job, the only thing that is off about it is the eyebrows, that makes it look a little scary, alot of people is saying that this looks like a tranny, but sometimes Tyra can look a little “trannyish” so I think they did an awesome job, they even got Tyra’s mouth right, can anybody tell me where I can find a picture of the Amy winehouse wax figure??

taliababy
Friday, July 25, 2008 /
it’s the eyebrows. They arched them too high. It makes her look like a witch or something. I don’t remember her brows being that high. If they fixed that then it would look more like her.
105.

I am with #100 and #103 that does look more like Olivia from G-Unit. She got forehead too
106.

Friday, July 25, 2008 /
i think it looks like her just that the eyebrows that she has now are thicker than the ones in the figure, so that’s the only thing I think looks different from her

I initially thought it was Tyra, but then thought it was Beyonce. After my triple take, it is definitely Tyra, however, I don’t think they got her eyes right; her eyes are not that dark and with the amount of black eyeliner and mascara on this thing, her eyes should really look MUCH lighter than what you see here.

It’s her lips . . . Tyra’s lips are not that full, even she says she has thin lips that disappear when she smiles. Other than that, this is a very good likeness of her.

it looks like her just with alot of unneeded makeup and a facelift also skinnier than tyra
