RoboCop statue
The RoboCop statue is a bronze statue located in Eastern Market, Detroit depicting RoboCop, a fictional cybernetically enhanced Detroit Police Department officer from the eponymous 1987 film. The idea for the statue originated with a 2011 exchange between Detroit mayor Dave Bing and a pseudonymous user on Twitter. In response to the suggestion that Detroit have a statue of RoboCop to rival Philadelphia's statue of Rocky, Bing replied that there were no plans to erect such a statue in the city. The exchange went viral and a subsequent Kickstarter campaign raised $67,436 to fund the construction of the statue. Completion and installation of the statue was significantly delayed due to several setbacks, including difficulties in securing a site, legal issues with MGM, and artist Giorgio Gikas battling cancer. The statue was completed in 2017 and installed in 2025.
