From the FBpage of the Sculptor, Daniela Kartakova:
(The bronzes are by the same sculptor, but I think the pictures seem to show different versions of the same piece)

Dear friends, with great pause, after many twists and turns, but still comes one long-awaited good news: on my own behalf and on behalf of Helen's grandmother Zvolská you all can finally announce what is the result of a long wait.
Thanks to your contributions and the tremendous efforts of all involved and in the end thanks to the tutelage active current director of the Children's Home Mrs. Charlotte Masaryk Zbraslav, MD. Truellová Ivy and Mr. Mayor of Prague - Zbraslav, Ing. Alex Hanel, Michael statue found its final decent location where Michael himself would also be best if he were among us - the area in close proximity to the designated children's home, which he visited Michael on the occasion of his concert in Prague in 1996.
Now you all we can with great pleasure to invite you to a joint celebration of the completed work, which has to remind everyone who he really was our Michael and we look forward to this, officially, in the presence of representatives of the City and the Children's Home CHM we pay tribute to the extraordinary artists and humanitarian.
On this occasion we also should not forget the children living in the home, so we combine celebration with activities to support children as they would have wished himself Michael.
The ceremonial unveiling of a statue of Michael Jackson at Zbraslav will be held next Saturday, September 27, 2014 from 14:00 pm. Additional details will be announced as soon as possible.

Great. It's one of the best looking statues I have seen of MJ. Especially the side angle.

A bust of Michael Jackson has been unveiled at the Charlotte Masaryk Children’s Home in the Prague district of Zbraslav. Speakers at the unveiling of the monument to the pop star, who died in 2009, drew attention to his charity work.
The King of Pop visited the children’s home when he played a concert on Prague’s Letná Plain in 1996. Sculptor and Jackson fan Daniela Kartáková had campaigned to have her bust of the singer installed at Letná but the plan was dropped after objections from locals.
