First thought - holy crap, they're good. (despite having seen their amazing figures before)
Second - holy crap, how does he always look so good? His… hair… his… face! And the same for the head! Down to the exact shape of dips and curves in the skin!

From the Mirror: His Madame Tussaud figure was unveiled. (There's a gallery of photos of the image--good job, I'd say!)

Wow… not bad! Although he looks a little bored of the girls… ;D

I already said it in the other thread: I love that video and I actually really like his wax figure in the video. However in all the pics I've seen of it so far the figure looks pretty creepy to me. Yes, it looks like him, but at the same time it feels totally alien to me.

I think the video fits better here in this thread, Mattlocked. I have to agree that i also think the figure looks better in the video than in the photos, maybe it is the lighting?

Apparently Benedict's ear has fallen off, or someone has purposely removed it as a souvenir or something. Cue Van Gogh jokes.

It will be fixed by Tuesday.

(Tries to mentally picture an ear-fetishist who is after Benedict...)
EWWW!

That would be so tacky if someone took his ear. But at the same time, Van Gogh jokes.

No, somebody put the whole story on twitter.
I think it was when they were replacing it after the Graham Norton show.
A member of staff tripped while carrying Benedict and his ear was knocked off in the process!

Oh no that's awful! At least it was only an accident and not someone crazy

A female employee I gather, who I think was fairly mortified

Accidently tripping whilst carrying it is her story, and she's sticking to it.

**Posted by besleybean** October 29, 2014 6:54 pm

I think there were witnesses!

**Posted by nakahara** October 29, 2014 6:59 pm

Accomplices. no doubt.
