The Criterion Collection found this to be a poor decision on the part of Mayor Bing, and so did I. If you’re in the same boat as myself and The Criterion Collection, all hope is not lost: A Kickstarter project has been launched to crowd-fund the construction of a Robocop statue for $50,000.

This is something that needs to happen, if only for all of the much-needed attention it will bring to Detroit. Mayor Bing may have passed on the idea, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good one, or at least one that deserves better than a dismissive tweet.

If just 50,000 people say “I’d buy that for a dollar,” they can help Detroit install the ultimate symbol of a better tomorrow.

A smaller ed should do the trick.....but give him bigger guns...


Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Die, You are forgiven. If I Live, I will kill you." Such is the Rule of Honor.

Actually, I think I'd love to watch a movie whereby a group of ED209s effectively wages war on a city thanks to all the disabled access.

I want the proposed Robocop statue to have enough servos that it can do the spin gun and holster in leg thing.
