IT'S THE next best thing to seeing them in real life - the One Direction boys have been immortalised as wax figures at Madame Tussauds.
The world famous wax museum has announced that they are gearing up to debut the One Direction figures next month.
The waxy creations will first appear in London before taking a tour around the globe, set to hit Sydney in October.
"We're just kind of a bit overwhelmed. We've been to Madame Tussauds and seen the kind of people who are in there. It's crazy to think that we will up there with them", an excited Harry Styles said.
"I think it's going to be quite weird to see yourself as a wax figure. But it's an amazing honour to be there. If you look at some of the names that are in there, we are very proud," Louis Tomlinson added.
"We have been overwhelmed by requests for us to feature One Direction," Global Head of Marketing, Liz Wells says.
"The boys have been top of the most wanted personalities list in London, New York and Sydney for the last 12 months, so we are delighted we can now satisfy public demand by bringing their figures to each of these cities in a special 'world tour', which will eventually take in more locations.
"Louis, Liam, Harry, Zayn and Niall have been involved throughout the sculpting process... taking hundreds of precise measurements and discussing the style their figures will be portrayed in", Wells adds.
From start to finish the creation process will take four months and each figure will cost Madame Tussauds $220,000 to make.
Aussie fans will be stoked to hear that, once the sculptures reach Sydney on October 24 they will be here for a three month stay until January 28, 2014.
