LONDON , England ( CNN ) -- Madame Tussauds unveiled a wax figure of Michael Jackson on Thursday , showing the late entertainer in a pose from the concerts he had planned to hold this month . The new waxwork of Michael Jackson -- only Queen Elizabeth II has been portrayed more times by Madame Tussauds . Sculptors at the wax museum started working on the figure four months ago . They had intended to display it this month , to coincide with the start of Jackson 's `` This is It '' comeback tour in London . The new figure is modeled on a Jackson pose from the concert poster , the museum said . It shows him `` arms outstretched , pelvis thrusting and tip-toed , with his trademark trilby angled forward , '' the museum said . It is the 13th Jackson waxwork by Madame Tussauds , the museum said . Only Britain 's Queen Elizabeth II -- who has been on the throne for almost 60 years -- has been portrayed more often . `` It is extremely unusual for a personality to have been portrayed so many times , '' said Madame Tussauds spokeswoman Liz Edwards . `` But Michael Jackson was totally unique and his iconic status made him one of the most popular stars here . '' The London museum has two other Jackson waxworks -- one in a pose from `` Thriller '' and another from his `` Dangerous '' album . The other 10 Jackson waxworks are in other Madame Tussauds museums around the world . The museum said it decided to proceed with the figure after Jackson 's death last month `` as a tribute to one of the greatest musicians of all time and to celebrate his amazing 40-year career . ''
Waxwork is the 13th of Jackson unveiled by the London tourist attraction . Model had been commissioned before singer 's death to coincide with London concerts . Only Queen Elizabeth II has been portrayed more often by the museum .
