April 25th 2011 01:38
There are many famous statues in existence today, from the Statue of Liberty to Christ the Redeemer or even Michaelangelo's David.
However, statues in honour of well know fictional characters are also common place. As seen on Blastr, below are some well known examples. See the full photoset here.
Yoda is enshrined as part of a fountain at the Letterman Digital Arts Center in Presidio, San Francisco, home to Industrial Light & Magic, LucasArts and other components of Lucasfilm Limited.
Located just outside the Baker Street station in London, the statue stands 9 feet tall and was installed in September 1999.
The people of Vulcan, keenly aware of the connection of their town's name and the Star Trek franchise, put up the sculpture to attract tourists. In addition to other attractions, and a local Star Trek convention, it pulls in fans from all over the world.
Lewis Carroll's creation of Alice, the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit has been given sculpture treatment in New York City's Central Park. Based on the original book's illustrations by John Tenniel, the statue was built by José de Creeft in 1959, commissioned by George Delacorte.
