Yesterday
May 14, 2013, Madame Tussauds Las Vegas unveiled a wax figure of Marvel’s Super
Hero, Thor, for a limited engagement.
The
launch of Thor is part of ‘Marvel Month of May’ celebrations as six Madame
Tussauds locations welcome a variety of different Superheroes to their
attractions. Locations include New York, London, Blackpool, Hong Kong and
Bangkok.
The
wax figure of Thor was created following a two-day sitting with Thor actor
Chris Hemsworth to ensure an authentic likeness. Madame Tussauds also worked very closely with
Marvel Studios throughout the creation process, including reviewing detailed
references for the hair and costume.
Thor’s famous hammer features a vacuum metalized finish, giving it a
metal plated effect.
