Madame Tussauds Sydney has unveiled a heartfelt tribute to one of Australia’s most iconic families, the Irwins, with the addition of new wax figures of Steve and Robert Irwin. The unveiling of Robert’s wax figure, just days before his 21st birthday, marked a historic moment as he became the youngest Australian ever immortalized in wax at the famed attraction.

Robert Irwin Meets His Wax Twin

Wildlife warrior Robert Irwin, renowned for his conservation efforts, photography, and television appearances, was visibly thrilled as he stood face-to-face with his wax doppelganger. Dressed in the unmistakable Australia Zoo khakis, the lifelike figure holds a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera, complete with a wax woma python elegantly draped across the lens.

“I’m honored to be recognized at Madame Tussauds Sydney with my own wax figure,” Robert shared. “Standing face-to-face with this incredible likeness is a truly surreal experience and offers a unique opportunity to share my messages of conservation with an even wider audience. I would like to thank the Madame Tussauds team for creating something so phenomenal, and I’m thrilled to share this moment with everyone.”

A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship

Robert’s wax figure is a testament to the artistry and precision of Madame Tussauds’ sculptors. The process involved over 100 detailed measurements and 300 reference photos to ensure an accurate and lifelike result.

Richard Dilly, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Sydney, expressed his admiration for Robert: “Robert Irwin has captured the hearts of people around the world with his passion for wildlife and his infectious energy. As one of our most requested celebrities, it’s clear that Robert’s impact on conservation resonates deeply with people on a global scale. We’re excited to welcome him, both in person and in wax, to Madame Tussauds Sydney.”

Honoring the Irwin Legacy in the “Wild Australia” Zone

The addition of Robert’s wax figure continues the Irwin family’s legacy at Madame Tussauds Sydney, where it joins the figure of his father, the legendary Steve Irwin, in the newly revamped “Wild Australia” zone. This immersive exhibit brings the spirit of Queensland’s Daintree Rainforest to life with towering canopies, lifelike wildlife soundscapes, and even a realistic saltwater crocodile.

In a poignant moment during the unveiling, Robert had the chance to see his father’s wax figure for the first time, a touching reminder of the enduring impact of Steve Irwin’s legacy on wildlife conservation and education.
