All wax sculptures are abhorrent creations that must be rejected by anyone of a pure and good heart, but it turns out some can be worse than others. Much worse.
Anthropomorphic candle-makers Madame Tussauds recently revealed the Beyoncé sculpture at their NYC coven, and they got the basics down pat: yes, Bey is a human with, uh, hair.
The rest? We’re not saying we could do better, but the end result is clearly the middle image on some unpublished Animorphs cover. Have a gander, and remind yourself that this was their inspiration.

Our friend @CCFan007 was quickly reprimanded in the menchies for that unconscionable use of “FIERCE!”.

TMZ reports the attraction as saying “our talented team of sculptors takes every effort to ensure we accurately colour match all of our wax figures to the celebrity being depicted.
“Lighting within the attraction combined with flash photography may distort and misrepresent the colour of our wax figures.”
