The Bangkok, Thailand branch of Madame Tussauds posed the question on April 12, with multiple requests to be submitted via polls on the official Madame Tussuads Bangkok Facebook page.
With 100 different requests submitted, standing at the top in 1st place is Hatsune Miku with 6,701 votes. In 2nd place is korean pop group, Super Junior with 5,318 votes, (a thousand vote difference with the leader) closely followed by Udom Taephanich, a popular Thai comedian with 5,021 votes in 3rd place.
Why exactly Hatsune Miku is considered for a wax figure rendition abroad instead in her own home country is puzzling her fans back home. This could be due to the current branch in Odaiba, Tokyo not being fully furnished as a complete Madame Tussauds musuem yet.
However, due to increasing popularity, Madame Tussauds Tokyo is set to open a full size permanent musuem at Decks Tokyo Beach mall, Odaiba this coming Spring, 2013 with fully themed areas and Japanese heroes and A-list superstars.
At the moment, an ongoing survey is being conducted as to feature which celebrity in the new Madame Tussauds Tokyo, with different categories such as World Leaders, Sports and Music.
