Detroit has finally welcomed its iconic protector, RoboCop, as a towering 11-foot (3.3-meter) statue now stands guard over the Motor City. The impressive 3,500-pound (1,587-kilogram) bronze-cast figure was erected on Wednesday afternoon, bolted into a concrete patio at the FREE AGE film production company.
Jim Toscano, co-owner of the company, observed the immediate public fascination. “It was snowstorm, dark and below 30 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-1.1 degree Celsius) and there was a steady stream of people driving by,” he stated, adding that visitors can “walk right up and walk all the way around it.”
