High Bidder will enjoy 6 complimentary passes to Madame Tussauds in DC.

It's not every day we spot celebrities. And when we do happen to see them, it's challenging to whip our phones out to snap a decent picture. At Madame Tussauds DC, not only will you have enough time to take a picture with your favorite superstar (or superhero), but you'll be sure to fool your friends back home, too. The 100-plus wax replicas look so real that you'll find yourself taking a second glance.

Experience the glory of the U.S. Presidency first-hand in an unparalleled and interactive exhibit featuring life sized wax figures of all 44 U.S. Presidents. With over 200 lifelike figures, guest of all ages can touch, see and hear U.S. history and then step into the glitz and glam of the Hollywood elite.

School is out and superheroes are in! Just in time for summer break, Madame Tussauds Washington, D.C. welcomes Captain America.

Captain America, the famed Marvel character known for his super powerful and virtually indestructible shield, was greeted in the Nation's Capital by local children. The children and their families were on hand to unveil the wax figure to press and fans alike.

Captain America will be with Madame Tussauds Washington, D.C. for a limited period of time, so be sure to visit him while you can!

Some celebrities get directly involved in order to make their figure. R&B sensation Beyoncé worked closely with Madame Tussauds artists in London as they replicated her hair color, make-up, body type and complexion. Fergie from Black Eyed Peas even donated one of her dresses to the museum.

The process of making a figure is lengthy -- it can take anywhere from four to six months. Once researchers conduct surveys on who should be included in the attraction, they find out as much as they can about the celebrity including how they pose in pictures, common facial expressions and their hairstyle and clothing preferences.

If he or she is able, the celebrity comes in for a sitting. The stylists take more than 150 measurements and 200 photos. This is also an opportunity for artists to match the hair and eye shade perfectly. For the face, the team uses oil-based paints and applies it in layers, creating a realistic skin complexion. Fun fact: The body is not only made of wax, but also steel and clay.
To keep the attraction new and exciting, Madame Tussauds adds or rotates new figures frequently. There are dozens of locations throughout the world including Atlanta, New York, Shanghai, London and Amsterdam, to name a few.
