    Geez, I didn't know we had so many wax statue experts here!

    I think it's cool, and looks pretty close.

    This new one is actually loaned from Shanghai Madame Tussauds. They had several Yao Ming statues over there. This one was originally displayed next to Tiger in Shanghai.

    I'm pretty sure the statue was made before Yao decided to rock the stache ;) .

    This exact wax statue is already in Madam Tussaude Hong Kong several years ago. It's not new.
