According to BBC, the figure garnered immense criticism for the way it looked. One of the critics was her brother John, who said that it was “inappropriate” and made its comparison with “a dummy,” or “something out of the Thunderbirds.”

He said that it resembled nothing like his sister and he thought that it was “hideous.” Many people on the internet have also been criticizing the waxwork.
