Madame Tussauds will be having it’s first ever computer gaming personality at their London venue later this month. He’s already been to Las Vegas (some say a clone is being used!) to scare punters at the Tussauds Vegas attraction. There, you can buy promotional items and stand next to him for photos.

You will be able to do the same in London too, I called Madame Tussauds but couldn’t get anything out of them about the exact date for his arrival, probably because they use a naff automated robot answering system that couldn’t be cajoled into revealing anything about the rok ‘ard character. You can visit their site and book tickets or phone the number and get bored by the automated system yourself.

The figure stands at 7′2″ tall and weighs a good 275 lb’s! It was made in London by 10 studio artists taking nearly 900 man-hours to create, using over 1000 pounds of clay for the 600 hours of sculpting, 200 hours of molding and a relatively short 37 hours of painting (he was never big on make-up anyway )

The figure is definitely imposing and will make a nice addition to the whole collection, maybe we can see a Mongoose vehicle in the future?? or use the Planetarium roof as a Halo shield, that would look so cool!
