Earlier this month, the Washington DC branch of Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum unveiled a new wax statue of model/talk show host Tyra Banks … and now it’s the NYC branch of the Madam Tussaud’s family to give it a go. Here are a couple pics of the new NYC wax statue of Tyra alongside a couple pics of the real deal for comparison:

Yeah, I think the DC branch got it more right … this statue ain’t lookin’ all that hot. Especially when you consider that the London branch of Madam Tussaud’s was able to make Amy Winehouse look nice and healthy with their statue … how could the NYC branch do this to poor Tyra. The pics on the right are just horrible … er, oh wait … those are the real pics … um, yeah scratch what I just said … it’s a very nice statue ;)
