More details from Rock Legend Wax Museum:
“From the early pioneers of Rock n’ Roll to present day musicians, the realism and authentic detail of our life-size wax figures will astound you! All of our one-of-a-kind originals are sculpted by local Niagara Falls artist Pasquale Ramunno, exclusively for Rock Legends!”
Dimebag stands out as one of the greatest musicians to ever play heavy metal music and though he has been gone since 2004 his wax figure stands as a true testimony to the incredible love he enjoyed and still enjoys to this very day from the fans that helped make Pantera one of the most popular heavy music acts of all time.
