WAXING LYRICAL
A new waxwork of Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen of Game of Thrones is the latest arrival at the National Wax Museum in Dublin.
Daenerys is the first Game of Thrones character to be unveiled at the venue on the city’s Westmoreland Street but she will be joined eventually by Davos Seaworth, who is played by Irish actor Liam Cunningham on the hit fantasy drama.
According to the Irish Times, the new model of Daenerys, who is played by Emilia Clarke on GoT, took over six months to complete with artist PJ Heraghty using stills, 3-D imaging and video footage to fashion the likeness.

ARYA KIDDING ME?
However online responses to the wax work are all of disbelief. With most online commentators believing the wax work bare little or no likeness to Game of Thrones character Daenerys Targaryen.
MOTHER OF NAGGINS
Of course the Irish humour is out in full force and the online responses are hilarious...

Did they use a leftover John Travolta and just change the hair?

Wow♂, to be quite honest, this looks more like Bob Geldof than Daenerys Targaryan... Is her forehead a new North runway for Dublin airport?

Lol
Be honest, you used the face of a girl that works at the museum and just threw a blonde wig on her?
