Tetsujin 28/Gigantor Statue's Full 18-m Height Unveiled
posted on by Egan Loo
Scaffolding removed before Sunday's completion ceremony
The scaffolding has been removed from the "life-size" statue of YouTube website, and an individual posted another video from Tuesday.
The Sally the Witch. The project raised 135 million yen (US$1.40 million), partly through the city's investment of 45 million yen (US$470,000) and through sales of "Tetsujin Curry."
Since the 50-ton statue is not "standing" straight up, it is actually 15.3 meters (50.2 feet) high. It is roughly the same size as the "life-size" slated for Sunday, October 4.
