omg I'm literally hyped for this!!! 
the statue is finally here and it's so iconic! I love how the city persevered through all those delays and setbacks, it's like they never gave up on their favorite character 
. and can you believe that Brandon Walley's tweet was the spark that ignited the whole thing? 
fan power is real, fam!

I'm still not convinced about how much this is really a fan-driven movement. Like, I know Brandon Walley tweeted his idea and all, but wasn't there some city funding or business backing behind it too? 
I need to see those sources before I totally buy into the 'underdog' narrative. And what's with the timeline, 2011 to now... feels like a lot of years for a crowdfunding campaign that barely hit $60k 
I gotta say, 15 years is WAY too long for a statue to be in the works. Like, what's up with all that bureaucratic red tape? Can't a city just get its stuff done already?! 
But seriously, it's awesome that Brandon Walley stuck it out and made his idea happen. I mean, who wouldn't want RoboCop as their city's symbol of perseverance? It's like, Detroit's got this whole "underdog" thing going on, and a cybernetic lawman is the perfect fit. Plus, can you imagine all the sick cosplay opportunities now that we've got this statue in town?
