National's Judith Collins, Green's Chlöe Swarbrick and ACT's David Seymour tonight joined Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern at Wellington's Backbencher bar, gracing the wall as the new puppets of the pub.
"It's a cross between a celestial being and Game of Thrones," Ardern said of her new puppet, replacing her previous DJ-playing Jacinda Ardern puppet.
Jacinda Ardern and Judith Collins appeared in latex glory.
"We can laugh at ourselves and appreciate the role we play in political history," she said.
Judith Collins said she was "thrilled" over her puppet - which reflected an eyebrow-raised Collins wearing boots that resembled that of the 'Wicked Witch of the West'.
"These boots really were made for walking," she said.
Seymour, meanwhile, said he was banking on a twerking puppet, harking back to his days on Dancing With The Stars.
"We got this, so that's like a massive, massive boost," he said.
The caricature images with exaggerated features join the previous puppets, the likes of Winston Peters and Sir Bill English and Sir John Key.
In 2012, a fire ripped through the pub, destroying former United Future leader Peter Dunne and former Māori Party co-leader Sir Pita Sharples.
Judith Collins, David Seymour and Chlöe Swarbrick are readying themselves to view their puppet versions at the iconic Backbencher pub.
The Backbencher pub is located across the road from Parliament and was the location of political TV show 'Back Benches'.
