I love the internet. So we told you last week about Detroit’s Mayor, Dave Bing, shooting down the RoboCop statue proposal, and the KickStarter initiative that was trying to build the thing anyway. Well, they’ve raised the necessary $50,000 in a little under a week, so you know. Your move, Bing.

In a sense this is a little awful, mind – money that really could be going to more needful causes is instead being used to build an awesome statue from a late 80’s movie. I’m not saying that this is a bad thing, though, because I love awesome statues from late 80’s movies.

Imagination Station, the guys who put the Kickstarter drive together, say they’re “very positive” about their ability to get the statue built next to the abandoned Michigan Central train depot, which is where he belongs.
