Report: Detroit's RoboCop statue now fully funded


Despite a lack of local political support, Detroit citizens are a big step closer to RoboCop is a statue. After Autoblog sister site City's Best, Motown's RoboCop statue is now fully financed by a massive $ 25,000 donation from a mother-and-pop organization called Omni Consumer Products. The company sells products that are brought out of film on the screen and just to live, and it borrows its name from the Evil Corporation in the RoboCop world. How is that for the installation?

OCP donation officially presented the statue fund in the green, this work should push for the project sometime soon means. The spite of what seems to a massive wave of support, is the statue without its critics, though.

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing has made it clear that he has against the idea of creating a tribute to the movie icon, and previous efforts to do the same eventually petered out. But now someone with the bill for the statue to walk, it seems more likely than ever that the post-apocalyptic law enforcement figure will soon be a new landmark of the city.
