Queen Elizabeth gets revamped.
Madame Tussauds in London has unveiled its 23rd figure of the head of state, created by a team of 20 that included sculptor Steve Swales.
SOUNDBITE: Steve Swales, sculptor, saying (English):
"As soon as she walked in the room, I remember my throat just caught. So it was quite an experience."
The new figure is the latest addition to the attraction's royal collection, which also features the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke of Edinburgh.
As for how The Queen feels about the new figure, we'll probably never know.
SOUNDBITE: Steve Swales, sculptor, saying (English):
"I think the Queen, she doesn't really make comments on paintings of her or anything like that. I myself thought, that the last figure, I don't think it looks stern but I think it could have been a little bit warmer so it was a decision that we came to."
This is the first new wax figure of The Queen in 11 years.
