Based on a photograph by Masayoshi Sukita taken in New York in February 1973, this is the second Bowie figure created by the wax museum, following a previous one for which David sat in 1983.

 

The singer can be seen in the character of his infamous alter ego, Ziggy Stardust, complete with the Starman's signature red hairstyle, cosmic jumpsuit and celestial makeup made famous in the 1970s.
