One Direction's Madame Tussauds waxworks are hot property as they are retired

Harry Styles’ hair, Liam Payne’s waistcoat and Louis Tomlinson’s Converse trainers are just some of the items die-hard One Direction fans have pleaded for as the band is retired from Madame Tussauds in London. Worldwide Directioners from as far afield as New Zealand and Australia have emailed and sent social media messages requesting everything from taking ownership of all five figures, to asking for just Harry’s head.

Some fans have even asked about owning individual body parts, including lips, limbs and little fingers of Harry, Liam, Zayn, Louis and Niall’s figures. Many have offered to pay delivery costs for the prize of having the One Direction boys placed in their bedroom.

One Direction have been firm favourites of Madame Tussauds London visitors since their arrival in 2013, however six years on from the band’s hiatus the figures have officially been retired to the Baker Street attraction’s archive, where they will be kept for safekeeping. The move also makes way for the launch of a new music zone, opening on April 1.
