Neymar seemed to be impressed with how detailed the wax figure is.

"I'm looking at my twin brother!" he told the team. "It is truly an honor to have such an important moment of my life captured in wax by the amazing team at Madame Tussauds.”

According to FC Barcelona, Neymar was involved with the creation of the figure. He met with Madame Tussauds artists to have measurements taken, and even got to choose the pose, which was from his goal celebration at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Fans can seet the wax Neymar this summer at Madame Tussards Orlando, its permanent home.
