Game Of Thrones Daenerys waxwork mocked by fans


She is Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons, a queen who could soon claim the Iron Throne.

So it is only fitting she should have a waxwork in her honour – but perhaps makers could have made it a bit more… well, a bit more Daenerys-like.

Dublin’s National Wax Museum’s new addition pays homage to the Game Of Thrones character, played by Emilia Clarke, but has been widely mocked online.

“Wow, Winter’s really taken its toll,” said one commenter on the venue’s Instagram post, referencing one of the series’ most famous lines: “Winter is coming.”

“How do you f*** this up with all the technology there is,” said another user.

“Oh my god WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER,” said another post.

Many have said the figure looks more like Legolas from Lord Of The Rings, who was played by actor Orlando Bloom, or Lucius Malfoy, played by Jason Isaacs in the Harry Potter films.

More from Game Of Thrones

They might have a point…

Daenerys is not the only famous face to be immortalised in less-than-flattering wax or stone.

Remember the Christian Ronaldo bust? Mo Salah‘s? And Beyonce has had numerous sculptures which haven’t quite lived up to the real Queen Bey.

:: How many times can Beyonce statues get it wrong?

Statues of Michael Jackson, Lucille Ball and Diego Maradona have also been ridiculed in recent years.

Clarke herself has yet to comment on her own figure, but let’s hope Daenerys sees the funny side.

Should she decide to unleash those dragons, it wouldn’t last long.
