Calling all One Direction fans! Brand new wax figures of the band will be on display at Madame Tussauds London from 18 April to 11 July 2013.

As you can see from the video, the 1D boys didn’t just pose for the figures, they helped to sculpt them too. We think the figure of Niall is pretty lifelike. What do you think?
