""I think there will be a lot more acceptance," Toscano said. "Detroit has come a long way. You put in a little nostalgia and that helps.""
""GREAT ambassador for Detroit.""
An 11-foot, 3,500-pound bronze RoboCop statue now stands bolted near the sidewalk outside the FREE AGE film production company in Detroit, attracting visitors even during a snowstorm. The statue commemorates the 1987 film depicting a crime-ridden near-future Detroit and a cyborg police officer. The idea resurfaced around 2010 and prompted a 2012 Kickstarter that raised more than $67,000 from over 2,700 backers. Sculptor Giorgio Gikas finished the statue in 2017, but plans to display it stalled and the piece was stored after the Michigan Science Center declined to host it in 2021.
