Hey badnik so u probably didnt hear me but did u see my comment about the giant giveaway but there is a down Where whould you put it? Its godzilla size so where whould you put youre statue??
So China can make a gargantuan Sonic statue full of details and accuracy, but Hollywood can’t even make an accurate Sonic out of CGI.... what has this world come to
like in that one Simpsons Treehouse of Terror "Attack of the 50-Foot Eyesores" and giant statues like the Big Boy and The Pep Boys come to life and terrorize everyone
God I'd be terrified seeing that thing in person. Not because it's inherently scary (I actually love it a lot and I don't consider the statue itself scary), but just because of the *_SHEER SIZE_* of it. That's the terrifying part. I couldn't imagine seeing such a large statue of Sonic in person.
It wouldn't surprise me if it's the opposite. The Chinese government owns the land. They already go around demolishing houses whenever they want to clear land, doesn't matter if the owner protests and refuses to get out during the demolition process. China is huge, but it's mostly made up of mountains or deserts. All the habitable land are crowded as hell, they'd clear away any available space to put something that has more economic value. A statue about a video game character that is hardly known over there nowadays is even more likely to get destroyed. But then again, it's on the rooftop. It's using space that isn't used. Chances are if it's removed from the roof, it'll be destroyed. If it stays on the roof, it remains.
Sadly, it was removed a few months ago due to complaints. Given that it's the size of a small house, and has been there for 3 years it's an understandable reason to be concerned.
I suppose it's made out of steel-framed concrete, that's what its appearance suggests, of course with a somewhat special concrete mixture. You can throw it into the concrete recycling where it will be crushed to bits, then steel bits get extracted and re-melted into new steel items, and the rest will be recycled into construction gravel to be used in road construction or filler material for new concrete. I mean think about it, new buildings get constructed every day, and buildings that were there beforehand get demolished, and the bits have to go somewhere, right?
Guys there are many types of RUclips channels There are gamers There are animators There are reviewers And the BEST ONE A person who likes to talk about sonic statues
I would have LOVED to see this in person! :o Great find and video, Badnik!! EDIT: I also noticed the swear word straight away...funny how we're drawn to stuff like that! XD
I'm like you, would be really neat to be able to walk down the street and look up to see a waving Sonic. My grandson would have to sit on it's lap and want his picture taken! Just hate that vandals always seem to gain access to these things.
Wait... I have an idea! A giant Sonic Snowboarding statue above Sega America HQ for the 30th anniversary!!! That or the statue in the woods near a Sega building.
Nah, leave the statue in the woods where it's at, the backstory to is is too sweet to remove it. But making a replica of it for the 30th Anniversary would be a good idea.
This statue looks amazing, I really hate that most statues just get destroyed its really a sin. I also really wish we got more. I live in Canada so i've never even seen a sonic statue of any kind
Who wouldn't want to see a giant Sonic the Hedgehog statue waving at them from its perch on a rooftop? I would have liked to. I'll never get to see one in my country. But I do like to see a Sonic Statue, make no mistake.
It must be a chinese exlusive attraction for the Chinese public. Contractual obligations and a communication disconnect may be the reason for the obscurity for the statue.
I do remember seeing this statute a few years ago on tumblr. Shows how much China loves Sonic. Also check out sites like billi billi aka youtube in china you might find some stuff there.
Man, imagine walking through a forest and suddenly seeing a giant, dumped, old, cracked, consumed by the nature sonic statue right in front of you, just like an elder creature, that would be so in-universe for a godzilla movie it would be frightening.
i know this video is old, but im curious if they either demolished it or put it in a huge containment area. it would be so cool if in a couple years or even soon we get an update on this statue. i also wish sonic was way more known in the UK since sega doesnt do much for the UK except that one comic line "Sonic the comic"
They really need to make these statues, especially this huge one, more durable. Something that big should be on display frequently, especially considering how much money goes into building them. In California, where I'm from, we used to have this giant brachiosaurus statue named Dixie in a field facing the interstate. She was up for a long time, then she was moved to another location before permanently vanishing.
This is really cool but here’s what I’m wondering: if this statue is no longer on top of the joypolis building, where could it be now? Is it somewhere where it’s safe? Was it...this is a really horrible thought...was the statue demolished when they were done using it? I really hope it’s somewhere safe but we may never know
Rare pictures of sonic waving goodbye before he commits suicide by jumping off a building because of the sonic movie trailer design *Then he hears that they are redesigning him now he's just stuck up their*
So with the Sonic statue no longer on top of the building, where has it been placed now? Not exactly something that can just be tucked away in a closet.
Unfortunately, I went to Dubai last month and I found out that the Sega Republic was REPLACED with a VR theme park. (not like anybody cares but i'm throwing this here anyways)
Attack of the 50ft Hedgehog!

Artistic vision.
It has happened since at least the 80s.
That's ok. An insurance company did a live action sonic 7 years before Hollywood did and got it perfect. ruclips.net/video/PQXthR_16lA/видео.html
china still blatantly copies and makes shit products regardless, and this was commissioned by sega.
They Have Fixed It. I Am From The Future Past The Release.
@@karenruble4989 me too!
This Sonic statue looks very good! Would like to know where it went. Hopefully it wasn't destroyed.
The Litten Guy It would take a long time for it to be destroyed. So probably not.
I bet it is on some Sega boss house.
It still exists to but there's no location
I hope said statue doesn't pull a *_"Comes to life scenario."_* and starts to roam.
He probably just go to furry conventions and such
Mr Neddlemouse: The legendary Sanic Master that’s pretty accurate
I sure wish I knew how to mod the PC version of Bayonetta so I could do this with Jubileus...
like in that one Simpsons Treehouse of Terror "Attack of the 50-Foot Eyesores" and giant statues like the Big Boy and The Pep Boys come to life and terrorize everyone
N I W D E Z E R E P Man that would be a fantastic plot for a Toy Story 5.
Looks like sonic got access to Mario’s stashes of mushroom....
He probably ate a mega mushroom
And then the Tanooki suit to transform into a statue.
Maga mushroom x 2
IS THE GIGA MUSHROOM!!!
@@heroessquad2019 it's not bruh

That is so amazing!!! I just love how friendly and gentle this statue looks, it’s like Sonic just wants to be your buddy! Thank you for sharing this!
Imagine how cute it would look if there was a Tails statue
JJ EWART That would be so cute! I wish I could have them both sitting in my room haha
XD lol yes!
Gentle giant :3
I have NEVER seen or heard of this specific statue. Thank you! I'm glad there's someone with an interest in the sort of stuff like I am.

Whoa. I didn’t know the sonic movie was gonna be a King Kong sequel.
Ikr
Well he did travle across the world in the new trailers.And judging by the movie,I wouldn't be surprised if they reference king Kong.
im from the future and it's not but maybe the sequel will!
It wouldn't surprise me if that statue still exists. It's unlikely but they couldn't just throw a statue that big in a scrapyard.

OMG I looked up this statue a few hours before you even made this vid
Thanks for your extremely entertaining vids keep it up!!!!
Hi
Dang that boi thicc!
You're profile pic is perfect for that comment
More like slick
"50 feet Sonic"
"Godzilla sized"
I don't think you know how big godzilla is lmao
Way to miss the point. Have you heard of the term "exaggeration?"
..
wasn’t the 1954 version of Godzilla 50 ft tall??
*he's sitting down, just gonna say it now*
Pretty sure modern day godzilla is like 700ft tall lmao
Actually the heisei godzilla is 100ft long so this statue is half his size
(this is not a serious comment lol)
Explain me how a smaller 90's Sonic statue is more relevant than a gigant Modern Sonic statue, please
*JUST HOW*
The fact that the big one was located in China and international communication over there isn't very extensive
I'm like WOW! This has to be the Biggest Sonic the Hedgehog thing to my knowledge now.
You know what's bigger? The mistake Paramount made.
@@minerpig04 true
@@minerpig04 I meant the biggest positive Sonic the Hedgehog thing. But yes, we are glad they are sorting that out... as unrelated as that is.

I'm staring to think this channel wants us to worship sonic. *im okay with that.*
This is awesome. I hope the designers still do work for Sega.

They should make statues of the other characters and place them with sonic on another building

I want to see a giant Kirby or mario
@Mayro Da plumber Sonic, Kirby, and Mario statues all in one place.... Patmac would be happy
Mega Mega Man perhaps

i wish they sat that statue on one of the golden gate bridges arches
Imagine having a HUGE ass standing Sonic Statue in front of your house.
9:37 I'm pretty sure that's the wall's reaction from having had Sonic's 50ft tall, who knows how many lbs heavy self sat on top of it.
0:00 that Sonic looks better than the one they put in the trailer for the upcoming movie lol.
2:50 awesome statue and all but like *hey why in the hell is there a initial D themed arcade game with huge cars and I haven't seen it?*
Next week 200 foot tall Sonic found in Chicago.
It must be a chinese exlusive attraction for the Chinese public.
Contractual obligations and a communication disconnect may be the reason for the obscurity for the statue.
Does this mean sonic is techincally a kaiju?
"We're gonna need a bigger ring."
I really wish I could/could’ve seen this because I am shocked at how great this statue is like-
Hejswkgske it’s just stunning and amazing!
Soooo... no further info on Soniczilla's location, how in Green Hell Zone did we lose visual on a near 50-foot statue?
Is China my dude

for the 30th birthay of sonic they should recreated all there statues and put outside at a joy polis
Why can't Sega make more good Sonic games along with good Sonic merch and other Sonic memorabilia?
I love unrelated comments!
It's sad why Sonic stature has benn removed.
Why did I get a good giggle of the picture of the crane picking the Sonic up?
hey at 2:50 is that an Initial D game? Because that looks like Takumi's AE86 on the left
0:03 Tails: Sonic, this isn’t weed.

I’m wondering too.
*Kikuo's Giant intentifies*
Also, if this were to be in a sega museum, it would be probably somewhere outside or Anywhere even!
i'm proud to be born in the country with the giant sonic statue
hey what happen to the Statue history video, I can't find it anywhere on you channel
i know this video is old, but im curious if they either demolished it or put it in a huge containment area. it would be so cool if in a couple years or even soon we get an update on this statue.
i also wish sonic was way more known in the UK since sega doesnt do much for the UK except that one comic line "Sonic the comic"
That sonic statue is so huge that it puts the Hulk to shame.
so you’re telling me there is a hedgehog rivaling in size to a beast that has the power to destroy cities
ok then
The Sonic statues are like showing a piece that the Sonic movie is real
I think I'm going to use one of those pictures for my desktop background. I love it!
I want to sit on the statues lap, it’ll be the closest I’ll ever get to achieving my dream of getting vored by Sonic
Imagine that there's a 50ft. Classic Sonic statue sitting at modern sonic's side

Did sonic eat a mega mushroom?
i remember seeing a picture of the statue in 2016 and i had no idea how big was it or what it was from.

So with the Sonic statue no longer on top of the building, where has it been placed now? Not exactly something that can just be tucked away in a closet.
Are we gonna talk about the blimps in the thanksgiving day parade
I want to know where it’s now
This would've been really cool to see!
But not gonna lie, I would be terrified to stand under it
This would’ve been perfect for E3
Can someone start a petition to let SEGA put this in front of their office? It's such a shame to see it be taken down and go to waste.
can you please do a video of the clay sonic that danced on top of a car
i really want to know what happened to the model. thanks!
Don't we all!
But odds of finding that out are close to nil.
Yeah, most likely it got destroyed or thrown out
The question is...
Where is it now?
as both a huge sonic fan, and a person with megalophobia, I don’t know how to feel about this lmao
What they should've done was have a certain spot out front of the Joypolis where they could've had a photo op

Maybe they're not taking it off because it could fall but because they're going to put it in arcade
