Robocop Statue in Detroit

[dropshipbob]

I'd be more worried about an ED 209 coming along and tripping over it.

It's acceptable as a "Guardian Looking to the Future" pose. I think we all kind of wanted the "Your move, creep!" with the Auto-9, but that isn't "correct" for public display (negative connotations: crime still rampant, society in decline etc.).

I think anything short of a curtsey is ok - as long as the statue goes up! :lol

BTW - good seeing you back, Chris!

lol thanks man! I'm still around fortunately. Trying to not buy things every paycheck is getting difficult

I would have prefer a 1:1 scale.

They could make the statue out of metal from the miles of abandoned neighborhoods in the city. I would love to see an animation of ed 209 tripping over the statue lol

Currently scheduled to be unveiled in August 2014, though its location is yet to be finalized.

Maybe they should have created a Kickstarter campaign to save Detroit instead of creating a Robocop statue. :lol

It'll never get the green light because the premise of RoboCop is that Detroit will always be a cesspool. The statue will only endorse that image.

After watching the Detropia documentary on Netflix, why bother with a statue?
