The wax-figure treatment is generally reserved for only the most recognizable people in entertainment, sports, or politics, but Smosh is immensely popular - with teens, at least.
The masterminds behind Smosh, Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla, have racked up more than 20.3 million subscribers and 4.3 billion views since first starting their channel in 2005.
A recent Variety study found that the Smosh guys were the most beloved celebrities among Americans between the ages of 13 and 18, ranking higher in terms of popularity than other YouTubers and even more traditional celebrities.
Their wax-figure copies will be making their debut at Madame Tussauds in San Francisco in June. They'll then be making their way across the U.S., including a stop at YouTube event VidCon in Anaheim, California.
"SMOSH: The Movie," their first feature-length film, will be premiering nearby.
