7. I bet it’s going to be shit

8. It’s the faces one isn’t it, it’s so shit.

9. I’m sick of these new ‘woke’ statues, just to go against the grain, fingers crossed its an obscure nineteenth century General notable for a brutal suppression of a colonial rebellion.

10. Maybe it is one of those tuktuks

11. Is the icream with fly finally becoming a statue??

12. At this point we should settle with a character from Viz. Perhaps a statue of Rude Kid?

13. Let’s hope it’s a giant pager.
