Millennia from now, when aliens or our survivors go digging through the layers of sediment, I wonder what they'll make of the sudden outburst of humans erecting giant robot statues around the world. Smile

"...has been acknowledged by the Guinness World Records as the world's largest metal sculpture of a fictional character."

That last bit opens the possibility of there being a larger metal sculpture of a non-fictional person, but doesn't confirm it. If such do exist (and a quick Wikipedia journey indicates such is likely the case), it would make the article title inaccurate as it omits the qualifier.

There's a 120 meter tall bronze statue of Buddha in Ushiku, Ibaraki, Japan and that isn't even the tallest.

No human right controversy here because is not china.
Maybe finally differentiate and try not to selectively politicize only when it suits you, the best content born when people ignore that just like Dragon ball and all others that came thanks to Jackie chan
