Madame Tussauds welcomes Catriona Gray as third Filipino wax figure in museum

Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray is revealed to be the third Filipino wax figure in Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, following Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach’s wax figure which was unveiled in 2018, and the recently announced boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, set to be displayed in the museum this year.

The museum announced on Monday, January 6, which also happened to be Catriona’s birthday, that the beauty queen is soon to be immortalized as a wax figure. Catriona will also unveil the figure first in Manila before being flown to Singapore, Bangkok, and Hong Kong.

“I am so excited to see the final figure and be a part of this special event! To unveil the figure in my home country with my fans watching is another dream come true,” Catriona said in the museum’s statement.

Catriona’s wax figure will be wearing a replica of the iconic lava gown which was inspired from the Mayon Volcano and designed by Mak Tumang and was worn by the beauty queen when she was crowned as Miss Universe 2018.

The 26-year-old was also seen holding a sample of her wax eyeball in her recent Instagram post, announcing her wax figure debut in the world-famous wax museum. “Stay tuned,” she captioned.

“We are constantly bringing in more fun to cater to various markets and we look forward to welcome Catriona. Besides her figure, Catriona also filmed something special for Madame Tussauds” said BoBo Yu, Senior Marketing Manager of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong.

“The [Philippine] market continues to be one of our strongest markets and has been very important to our attractions in Asia and we had seen an increase of travellers to Madame Tussauds in Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore. We believe that by having Catriona’s wax figure, it will definitely be a huge draw and create the platform for her fans to get up-close with her in 2020,” Madame Tussauds Asia Regional Manager Susan Ang said in a release.

After being unveiled in Manila, the wax figure will be in Singapore “for a limited time” before being flown to Bangkok and Hong Kong respectively.

The famous wax museum is known to display wax figures in exact replicas of famed celebrities, fictional characters, and well-known personalities from all around the world.
