The Kickstarter project to get a statue of Robocop built in Detroit, Michigan has been successful. The $50,000 needed to erect a statue of Robocop in Detroit was raised plus surpassed. Peter Hottelet of Omni Consumer Products Corporation put in $25,000. The idea for building the statue was inspired by Twitter user @MT. He sent Detroit Mayor Dave Bing a tweet with an idea to build a Robocop statue in Detroit since there is a Rocky statue in Philadelphia. Bing replied that there were no plans to build the statue, but Imagination Station Detroit made the idea a reality by starting the Kickstarter project.
