Madame Tussauds is making a Steve Jobs wax figure to mark the first anniversary of his death. It’s hauntingly realistic—just look at the pictures above—and will, of course, come complete with black cotton turtle neck, Levi’s 501 jeans and New Balance 991 trainers.
The wax figure will be displayed at Madam Tussauds Hong Kong and is created using a pose from a 2006 Fortune Magazine cover. It’s incredibly detailed—each strand of hair is inserted one by one into the wax head by hand using a forked needle and the iris is hand painted using gouache with fine silk threads for veining. The whole process took three months to complete and will be on display starting September 26th, 2012 to November 26th, 2012. [Madame Tussauds via LA Times]

Is there a wax work at MT’s that isn’t hauntingly realistic?
Also – they have a Jobs at the MT’s in Vegas (they once had Jobs, Woz and Gates sitting around a poker table with Edison, Einstein and Divinci for some poker promotion) so this isn’t the first one. It’d be interesting to compare the two and I wonder if he actually allowed the molds to be made or if this is pure sculpture.
There are some that look nothing like the person they’re supposed to be.
I think there are instances where this might need to be borrowed, skewered, placed in an open pit in the ground and slowly rotated….
Intricate. Nice.
I wonder whether they are including a douchebag to make it even more realistic.
If not, I’m sure you can volunteer
They need to make it gripping an iPhone 4 with the wrong hand…
Wow that is impressive indeed! The talent these artists have is immense!
