Nothing Compares 2 her.

A wax figure of the late Sinead O’Connor was unveiled on Thursday — one day before the first anniversary of her death — at a wax museum in her hometown of Dublin, Ireland.

A video of the statue, which was placed next to figures of “Star Wars” characters Darth Vader and Qui-Gon Jin, sparked major backlash from fans, who said that the figure looks nothing like the singer.

O’Connor’s brother, John O’Connor, reached out to Dublin’s National Wax Museum demanding the statue be taken down.

“It is hideous and does not resemble my sister,” he said on RTÉ’s Liveline, according to the Irish Times.

“It looked like something that was a cross between a mannequin and something out of the Thunderbirds,” he added, noting it was “inappropriate.”

The museum confirmed to The Post Friday that they’re pulling the display of O’Connor.

“In response to the public’s feedback regarding the wax figure, we acknowledge that the current representation did not meet our high standards or the expectations of Sinéad’s devoted fans,” read the museum’s statement, which was also shared on Instagram.

“We have listened closely to the reactions and agree that the figure does not fully capture Sinéad’s unique presence and essence as we intended.”

The museum recognized O’Connor’s “impact on Ireland and the global music community” and said their “goal has always been to honor her in the most fitting and respectful manner.”

“With this in mind, we are committed to creating a new wax figure that better reflects Sinead O’Connor’s true spirit and iconic image,” the statement continued. “Our team of skilled artists will begin this project immediately, ensuring that every detail is meticulously crafted to celebrate her legacy appropriately.”

“We extend our gratitude to everyone who provided their feedback and assure you that your voices are heard. We look forward to to unveiling a new figure that truly honors Sinead O’Connor and her extraordinary impact,” the museum concluded.

According to the Irish Mirror, the museum said the figure was created by artist PJ Hegarty over the course of nine months. Hegarty usually takes three months to complete wax figures, but he was reportedly “unwell” when he was making O’Connor’s.

The museum said O’Connor’s wax figure is his last sculpture over his 40-year career, per the Irish Mirror.

Fans were outraged over the display of O’Connor when it was revealed to the public on Thursday.

“The new Sinead O’Connor wax work looks like they just found an old mannequin in a skip and said, yep that will do. The absolute hack of it,” one person tweeted.

“And she’s next to Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Vader because….??????” another person wrote.

“That looks more like the boy from Deliverence, the duelling banjos scene,” someone else joked.

O’Connor died at the age of 56 last summer. Her cause of death was revealed to be natural causes.

The “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer was found “unresponsive” at her London home at around 11 a.m. on July 26, 2023. Police pronounced her dead at the scene.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad. Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time,” O’Connor’s family said in a statement issued last year.

Her passing also came 18 months after her 17-year-old son, Shane, died by suicide in January 2022.

O’Connor attempted suicide before, including after her son’s passing. On “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in October 2007, she revealed she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but years later, after several “second opinions,” she revealed that was a misdiagnosis.

She later claimed in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder. 

O’Connor is one of the most successful Irish singers in history. Her career boasted 10 studio albums.
