Barcelona star Neymar saw an unusual sight at training Tuesday, as famous wax artist Madame Tussauds presented her take on the Brazilian icon in wax-figure form for her museum based in Orlando.

Neymar, who selected the pose and was measured for size earlier in the season, greeted the wax figure with a smile and took a few selfies before stripping down and changing into a similar yellow Brazil national team shirt.

"I'm looking at my twin brother!" Neymar said, according to the club's website. "It is truly an honor to have such an important moment of my life captured in wax by the amazing team at Madame Tussauds.

"I cannot wait for my fans all over the world to meet my wax twin in Orlando!"
