Madame Tussauds Las Vegas paid homage to the video, which last year smashed Vevo's records for most views in 24 hours, by unveiling an "Anaconda"-themed wax likeness of Minaj on Tuesday. In order to replicate her curvy frame, 20-plus artists pitched in and took more than 300 precise measurements, according to the museum. And it took nearly six months to get everything just right.
