Absolutely wonderful. Thanks so much for posting.

The likeness is spot on. Does anyone know where the artist's original works are now?

It's so amazing to finally see the process of how the statue was created. Now I know how much time it took to make that cover.

Thanks for the link, it was interesting reading. You link only mentions the big statues (32 feet tall) and are made of steel and fibreglass. Now I have even more to wonder Where are all 9 big statues and who owns them and where is this small (about 4 feet) clay statue?

If my memory serves me right, regarding the smaller statues, I believe some were made after Michael passed using the original molds, they were sold on Ebay, I believe the molds or copies of them were also sold off. One of the original 4 foot one is still owned by MJ and was displayed at the 02 Exhibition.

Michael Jackson HIStory Statue It's a cast of my cast that was used as a reference for the 10 foot copy for the music video. David Miller secretly kept the mold and starting selling after Michael died. He has NO right to do this. ebay shut his sale down a couple years ago. But then he sold through MJJ shops and now he's back on ebay.

I did notice it was the big ones. Some has begin destroy and some are in different places around the world. It did mention that Sony may have some in a warehouse not sure where. I did see some for sale on ebay and i think amazon too on the small ones.
