Exclamation Mario's Wax Unveiling!

IGN:

December 10, 2003 - Nintendo yesterday unveiled its five-foot-tall Mario wax figure at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Hollywood, California. The character, the first-ever videogame mascot to be inducted into the Museum, was placed at the former spot reserved for wax incarnations of Neo and Trinity from The Matrix movies.

Nintendo paraded one of its own around in a Mario suit to promote the wax figure unveiling.

Readers can download photos of both the wax Mario and the costume Mario in our media section.


Exclusive Media!

Don't you mean if you fly to Hollywood? Because the wax museum isn't in New York.

There's a wax museum in N.Y. Isn't that the one? I know for sure there's one on N.Y., I saw it.
Edit: Nevermind! just read again and that's not the one where it's in.

No way, man...That'd be way to easy. He's a ball with eye's.
