David Bowie, who was born and grew up in London, had his first figure unveiled in 1983 during the height of his Let’s Dance era. Bowie was heavily involved in the original creation of his likeness, attending a sitting with Madame Tussauds London artists in June 1983 to provide hundreds of precise measurements, hair and skin colour references to ensure complete accuracy right down to the anisocoria that gave Bowie his signature gaze.
