A waxwork of the Fifteenth Doctor actor, Ncuti Gatwa, has been unveiled at the London branch of Madame Tussauds — and it’s pretty darn incredible!
Unless, of course, it’s a mind-blowing Auton duplicate…
Gatwa began working with Madame Tussauds’ artists in July 2023, attending a sitting and collaborating on the figure’s pose and expression, then gave his seal of approval in May 2024; the figure has now been revealed to the general public by showrunner, Russell T Davies.
Ncuti Gatwa said:
“It’s been amazing to work with Madame Tussauds London’s artists, what incredible artists they all are. I hope when fans see the figure and the set they feel that they are part of the Whoniverse, that everyone is welcome and they can step in to the TARDIS and hop off on an adventure.”
There’s also a rather wonderful video of Ncuti facing his waxy double.
Madame Tussauds London’s Studio Manager, Jo Kinsey, said:
“It’s been wonderful working with Ncuti Gatwa to bring the Fifteenth Doctor to life at the attraction. Ncuti Gatwa is a Time Lord for modern times, his charisma and flair have brought the world’s longest-running sci-fi show to a new generation and we’re proud to immortalise that with his new figure.
“Having Russell T Davies unveil the new Whoniverse-inspired set was the icing on the cake as we offer fans the chance to step in to their own episode of the legendary series. The Whoniverse is looking very bright, and we’re sure that fans will be lining up to see the Doctor and feel like a fellow companion!”
The figure is the first revealed for Madame Tussauds’ brand-new film and TV themed zone, which also includes Enola Holmes, E.T., and James Bond.
Head to Madame Tussauds in London to meet the Fifteenth Doctor now!
