Louis Toussaud's probably puts forward the most effort, so the quality is marginally higher than the other nothing-to-do-with-the-Falls museums in Niagara Falls. Marginally. They set up all of these photo-op scenarios, instead of keeping the figures in glass closets the way that the Criminals Hall of Fame does.



Queen Victoria, looking very much like Gordon Jump in drag.

One thing that I found consistently funny was that the figures were all billed as "instantly recognizable", but they all wore brass nametags just in case.



"Hi, my name's Jack and I'll be taking care of you today. Can I start you-all off with something to drink?"

You can sit and carry on a phony conversation with wax Oprah.



There was a Harry Potter room. They looked awful.



Kim Jong Illin':



George Bush Sr. looking boxy in a recliner.


For some reason, they put Sr. and Jr. off in a room by themselves, like a fake study.


I love that the Jack Nicholson figure has a nametag here. I guess they weren't leaving it to chance.



I can't remember, in all honestly, if this Manson came from the Criminals Hall of Fame or here, but judging by the quality, probably here.



He was standing in a room where they were blasting the theme music from Halloween. In Niagara Falls, that is the only music that they use for anything horror related. When you hear the Halloween music blasting out of a haunted house or whatever, that's how you know it's supposed to be scary now.

I also went to a "Rock Legends" wax museum, and will get those up as soon as I can...stuff to do now.
