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.

LMAO! :D yeah, but Mario is more of an icon so... Anyways, nice to know it. I now will have something new to do if I fly to N.Y. again next summer. Too bad they charge for entering the darn museum. :mad:

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

Re: Mario's Wax Unveiling!
 

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. :(
