Madame Tussauds New York and Midtown Comics unveiled a Samuel L. Jackson’s wax figure as Marvel Comics superhero Nick Fury on Thursday, October 10 at New York Comic Con, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, Midtown Comics’ booth #1736.
Madame Tussauds artists worked closely with Samuel L. Jackson to create his spot-on wax figure when it launched in 2000. It took three months for a dedicated team of studio artists to transform Jackson’s figure into Nick Fury, replicating his distinctive look with a custom-made long leather trench coat and signature eye patch.
Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury will go on display at Madame Tussauds New York starting October 14. Marvel’s highly anticipated Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D television series premiered last month on ABC and Nick Fury made an enthusiastically-received cameo appearance last week.
