Crikey! Madame Tussauds unveils Steve Irwin wax figure... and you will never believe how bad it looks


Robert Irwin posed with a wax statue of his late father, Steve Irwin, at Madame Tussauds in Sydney on Thursday.

The waxwork shows the famed Crocodile Hunter dressed in khaki and crouching with his arms wide - a familiar pose for his millions of fans. Filmed on Sunrise while posing beside his likeness, Robert could hardly contain his enthusiasm: 'I can you believe it,' he told hosts Natalie Bar and Matt Shirvington as he pointed to the stature, which appears to be a few centimetres shorter than the conservationist. Following his death, Steve's family, including daughter Bindi, widow Terri, 60, son Robert, and son-in-law Chandler Powell, 28, have continued his conservation work at Australia Zoo.
