They will be given a spit and polish before all 55 statues from the trail plus 13 touring statues and 35 mini-statues go on display at Slessor Gardens from September 9 to 11.
Thousands of tickets for the Slessor Gardens event have already been sold online and anyone who wants to see the entire Oor Wullie army in one place is urged to book their ticket as soon as possible.
The statues will then be auctioned off in aid The Archie Foundation at Dundee Rep.
