If you live anywhere near Orlando, Florida or are going to Disney World in the next couple of months, don’t forget to go to Madame Tussauds and check out their Justice League: A Call For Heroes exhibit. There you will be able to take pictures with the full size wax figurines of Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Superman (Henry Cavill), and Batman (Ben Afleck).

Here are some facts to remember when you go:
*All figures are made in London, founding location, and then sent to their assigned location.
*It takes about 15 artists and three to four months to complete each wax figure.
*With each celebrity, there are 250 measurements taken including hair, eyes, and skin color. Teeth are also molded during this time. After the measurements are made, the figure is sculpted in clay. Next is the molding process where the wax comes into play and is cast in it for about 170 hours. Then the hairs are put in, one strand at a time taking about 6 weeks to complete. Then oil paints are used to mimic the exact skin tone and it’s translucent and has a realistic texture. Once the skin is finished, the eyes and teeth are added. The eyes are made individually with acrylic resin to match exactly to the celebrity’s. Finally wardrobe is added to the figure. Generally the clothes are donated from the subject for their figure to wear.

 

On May 22, Mr. Cavill put a video and comment on his Instagram page about his figure. Look closely and you can see the figurine moves up and down saving you from the helicopter.

MADAME TUSSAUDS ORLANDO ANNOUNCES

NEW JUSTICE LEAGUE EXPERIENCE

Madame Tussauds Orlando’s Justice League: A Call for Heroes to Launch on May 25, 

#FindTheMotherBoxes for a Chance to Win an Exclusive VIP Experience 

ORLANDO, FLA. (April 12, 2018) — Justice will be served this summer at Madame Tussauds 

Orlando. The world-famous attraction revealed plans to unite an all-star cast of DC Super 

Heroes in an epic new experience. For the first time ever, fans of DC’s Justice League will come 

face-to-face with their favorite heroes in an action-packed adventure unlike any other. 

From fear comes courage! Guests will get a chance to star alongside Justice League’s Gal 

Gadot as Wonder Woman, Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman, as they fight 

to save the world from Lex Luthor’s evil corporation, LexCorp. 

Developed in collaboration with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC 

Entertainment, this first-of-its-kind attraction experience combines an all-star cast with 

blockbuster thrills, authentic replica props and costumes that bring each character to life like 

only Madame Tussauds can do. 

“Fans have never come this close to the action,” said James Paulding, General Manager. 

“Madame Tussauds Orlando, together with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, have created a 

Justice League experience you have to see to believe – from the unbeatable roster of DC Super 

Heroes to the sensational, hi-tech experiences.” 

Justice League: A Call for Heroes will also debut later this summer at Madame Tussauds 

Sydney, part of a greater transformation across Madame Tussauds attractions around the globe 

to deliver live fame experiences that make guests the star of their favorite stories. 

HEROES UNITE! The battle begins when the Justice League lands at Madame Tussauds 

Orlando on May 25, 2018. Guests who answer the call will be transported to the streets of 

Gotham City and Metropolis, uniting with the Justice League Super Heroes in a series of thrilling 

missions to destroy LexCorp’s hold on the world. 

Wonder Woman guests will help to destroy LexCorp’s formidable technology that has disabled 

the city. By harnessing their inner super power, guests will be able to emit a powerful blast from 

Wonder Woman’s gauntlets to weaken LexCorp’s control over the city. 

Elsewhere in the city, Lex’s experiment wreaks havoc, sending a helicopter and its occupants 

hurtling toward the ground. Guests will have to summon all their strength and join Superman to 

help lift a helicopter back into the sky as onlookers cheer from the streets below. 

As the battle continues, one Super Hero will remain elusive. Guests must summon Batman with 

the Bat-Signal. Billowing smoke and wind reveal Batman as he’s called into battle on the 

rooftop, ready to save the world.
