Steven Spielberg’s favourite man from outer space E.T. is set to be immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds in a number of locations including London, Berlin, Hollywood and Sydney.

To celebrate the Blu-ray release of Steven Spielberg’s beloved classic film E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, with also enjoys its 30th annniversary, six Madame Tussauds locations, including London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Sydney and Hollywood, will welcome the family-friendly alien through their doors to be immortalised in Madame Tussauds’ signature wax form. Mr Phone Home himself will be unveiled in London on 22nd October 2012.

All six E.T. figures are being worked on simultaneously by a huge creative team at Merlin Studios in West London, using a raft of reference photographs and footage from the film to capture a perfect likeness. Guests will be able to take Elliott’s place in the scene that saw E.T. and Elliott soaring on a BMX against the backdrop of a stunning full moon, which was recently voted by fans as Universal Pictures’ most memorable movie moment.
