@Paok_Kilkis ,

Interesting poll.

My favorite real life statue of a real life character is of Mary Richards from The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970–1977). Unfortunately, it is not in your poll and I have not found and image you could add for your poll.

Superman

I was unable to find an image of the Superman statue on IMDb.

https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/11594

... a 15-foot-tall, three-ton Superman statue, funded with engraved bricks purchased by Metropolis citizens for 35 bucks apiece. The statue cost $120,000 (which works out to more than 3,400 people buying bricks in a town of 6,700). The statue was made by the same company that built the giant Emmy outside the Television Hall of Fame in Hollywood. On the day of the statue's unveiling a storm knocked out all the power in Metropolis, so it was perhaps for the best that President Clinton, invited to the ceremony, couldn't attend.

Superman statue.

This status is adjacent to the Superman Museum.

Although the statue of the Little Mermaid is based on a fictional character, it is not based on a movie, so adding an image of it to an IMDb title seems like a mistake.

There is also a copyright issue.

@Peter_pbn​ That includes only the Little Mermaid or other suggestions as well?

I guess it's better if the statue is based on a movie or show, like Mary Richards.

In your list I particularly noticed Alice in Wonderland: it is linked to the 2010 movie, but the statue is much older and is based on the book.

@Aris_Athanas​ You did not list the six of the seven suggestions I posted above. You only listed one later, because Dan posted an image link later. You would think Sherlock Holmes, Peter Pan, Paddington the Bear, the Cat in the Hat, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime are notable enough and that at least a few would make the cut. I can see possibly Robert McCloskey's ducklings not making the cut though.
