The dummies, imported from London, will be on display for two weeks. Their appearance was in honor of the real Beckhams' hotly anticipated move to the United States in the spring, the museum said.

David Beckham, known as Becks, and his pop star wife, known as Posh, announced earlier this month they would be moving to Los Angeles. He signed a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team, and she has been seen hunting for a home for them and their children.

Their wax figures were decked out in American flags for their U.S. debut. But they will wear different clothes on display: Becks will be dressed in a tuxedo, while Posh will have a sparkly green dress, reports AP.

The couple will be posed at the Times Square museum with her head resting on his chest and his arm wrapped around her shoulder.
