Tinker Bell immortalized in wax

Celebrating the DVD release of TINKER BELL, the world’s most beloved fairy was immortalized in wax at the world famous Madame Tussauds in London, Monday, November 10th as the smallest wax figure in the history of the legendary waxworks.

Sitting pretty at just a mere five and a half inches tall, this little pixie with the big personality has been created with all the same love, artistry and attention to detail as Madame Tussauds’ other remarkably life-like human figures – but this time on a much more pixie-sized scale.

“Undoubtedly, some of our celebrities are smaller than others but Tinker Bell is tiny on a scale we’ve never handled before; for context the average figure is somewhere between five and six foot tall – Tinker Bell is just five and a half inches!” says Liz Edwards, PR Manager of Madame Tussauds. “Our studios team is essentially employing all of the usual techniques and tools, although many have had to be sized down, and the sculptors have had to apply an even steadier and precise hand to the job.”

Madame Tussauds’ artists studied hundreds of drawings, 3D photos and film in order to capture the perfect form of Miss Bell in wax. The process began by crafting a perfect clay sculpture of tiny Tink, and that sculpture was used to make wax moulds for the final figure. Once molded, hair and color artists used ten layers of oil paints to build up color and give a translucency to the skin tones and to achieve a realistic texture. They required six weeks before the finished wax figure was ready for her close-up.
