<p>The first exhibit is of Eric Sparague, otherwise known as Lizard Man. Described as ‘the world’s most unusual man’, the waxwork details his transformation from regular human to the worlds only Lizard Man. His skin is covered in green scales, a result of no less than 1000 hours of tattooing over a ten year period. Not stopping at lizard like skin, he has further transformed his appearance thanks to Teflon implants under his skin and spitting his tongue down the middle. This coupled with his sharpened teeth and a upcoming tail implant make the Lizard Man a perfect addition to the museum.</p>
