Those big fake teeth, that unflinching smile and eyes that follow you even in the pictures... One can only hope Sasha and Malia are not immortalized in such a creepy way. Hordes of Michelle fans apparently showed up to see the new sculpture. CNN reports that the line snaked out the door and down the block.

Adults praised the wax look-alike, but children seemed particularly freaked out.

"I'm just freaked out," one youngster told a CNN camera crew.

The figure joined President Barack Obama's wax figure in a reproduction of the Oval Office. Madame Tussauds says the wax Michelle's dress is based on a purple dress she wore the evening Barack clinched the Democratic party nomination. Here are a few side-by-side pictures, including the original dress, below. Check them out and vote in our poll for whether or not you like Wax Michelle.
