Rumor: Master Chief getting waxed for Madame Tussauds

by Alexander Sliwinski { Sep 3rd 2007 at 12:30PM }

As we all know, Madame Tussauds isn't into real men, she likes them completely waxed. Godfree over at GameTagRadio received the photo above, which comes from a listener who apparently snapped it while taking a tour of Madame Tussauds wax museum in London, showing what appears to be Master Chief in development.

It definitely looks like the Master Chief, but for the sake of Cortana, the spy couldn't angle the camera up a couple more degrees and get the head? It looks like a bad fuzzy pic on an internet "dating" site. If it is the Master Chief, we're sure there'll be an announcement very soon -- only a couple more weeks before the fight is finished.

You're taking the marketing joke too far enough. What did you guys get payed 599USD to extend that wii little meme? Or did someone attack your weak spot for massive money printing? Call me when you get back to real-time news posting in historical video gaming.

Word of the street. @ Sep 3rd 2007 12:59PM

Another Reason to visit London again :D

Looks pretty Chiefy to me.

The Madame Tussauds in NYC is cool. I went there a few years ago.

Didn't see anyone Video game characters though.

Methinks that if any game character needs to be waxed, it needs to be Mario. Either that, or the Pong paddles hitting the ball back and forth. I'd pay money to see that.

Master chief before Mario Bros? lol $pon$or$hip for the next 30 wax figures provided by "Halo 2 for Windows Vista and Halo 3: Landing on Earth September 25"...

Master Chief was supposed to meet up with President George W. Bush on Sept. 25th....but unfortunately Master Chief won't be able to make it.

Master Chief is bigger than Jesus, Mario and Michael Jordan.

What a joke.

Dont get your panties in a bunch. Mario is the one and only video game character in the hollywood wax museum. Let the Chief has his day:)

Oh he is? I was following what Gambit said. Then Halo can get their Spot. maybe lara croft could get in also. And Link.

Meyithi @ Sep 3rd 2007 2:42PM

This could possible be a commission piece, Tussauds do them quite often. Maybe for some kind of promo, I can't see this going on display in it's birthplace tbh.

Mike-453 @ Sep 3rd 2007 5:15PM

Mario just isn't interesting to look at, and likely isn't interesting to make...

Lara Croft on the other hands, delicious curves.

Stupidiot @ Sep 3rd 2007 5:16PM

Wow, something game related fairly locally to me! I might just have to take the short trip into London to take a look.

F1 @ Sep 3rd 2007 5:19PM

So just what exactly can't you do now?

F1 @ Sep 3rd 2007 5:20PM

Oops wrong post.

Mike-453 @ Sep 3rd 2007 5:20PM

I think any game character getting waxed for Madame Tussauds is a step closer to videogames becoming more mainstream and accepted. Which can only be good.

ThornedVenom @ Sep 3rd 2007 6:36PM

Videogames becoming high art?! Oh noes, somebody call the Ebert-man!

ThornedVenom @ Sep 3rd 2007 6:38PM

This is the beginning of the REAL issue behind this article: Which one of these two characters should be wax-statued first?

Lara Croft or Zero Suit Samus?

GoldenS1104 @ Sep 3rd 2007 11:05PM

Better Question: Which of those two could win in a sexy naked pillow fight?

Petey P. @ Sep 3rd 2007 8:18PM

If Madame Tussauds wants any ideas for wax figures based off of video games here are some suggestions:

Nintendo - Mario and Luigi(of course)
Sega - Sonic the Hedgehog
Capcom - have the original 8 line up of Street Fighter 2
Squaresoft - Cloud Strife and Aerith with a Moogle in
front
Rare- Fulgore
Namco- Pac-Man with ghosts
Midway - Mortal Kombat

If anyone else has any other ideas...or can better this list....by all means go ahead!!!
