'Twilight: Eclipse's' Robert Pattinson gets waxed at Madame Tussauds NYC

If you've always dreamed of standing beside Robert Pattinson on the red carpet, now's your chance... sort of. On Thursday (March 25) the legendary Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York City unveiled its latest wax likeness: Edward Cullen himself.

Pattinson's wax figure is one of the most accurate we've seen, complete with his trademark what-am-I-doing-here smirk, his tall Twilight hair, and his scruffy jawline. But before you ask: no, he does not sparkle in the sunlight.

He is, however, very high-maintenance. At Thursday's unveiling, an attendant was apparently on hand to comb Wax-Pattz's hair between each photo op.

The Madame Tussauds website encourages fans to pose for pictures with the statue and "even give him a big kiss in the cheek!" Don't forget to disinfect him first, ladies.
