Check out how we worked with Idris to create his figure...
We had the pleasure of working closely with Idris Elba on the creation of his first ever figure. The star attended a sitting with our incredible talented studio artists.
The Madame Tussauds London studio artists meticulously took accurate measurements of Idris from measuring his facial features, noting his hair & eye colour and took hundreds of reference photos.
Throughout the figure creation process our incredible studio artists truly go the extra mile to ensure we captured Idris' personality. From his smouldering expression to the glimmer in his eyes, our team work their magic to ensure the final figure gives off a real presence when guests meet him for the first time.
