I wish someone could somehow get ahold of this statue from the Korean NCSoft lobby, and bring it here...for us to have

You could sure lay on some blunt force trauma with that statute!
They moved so I bet they hadn't bothered to unpack it. Or even take it with them.
Since they discarded the players, I guess it makes sense to discard the game's symbol....
Making a statue that big isn't that hard, it's paying for it that's the tricky part. Getting it into a convention is a different matter all together.
Heck, I could probably do it myself if I had the time and funding, but the only ways to get funding that I know of would draw NCSoft's ire, plus I have no access to a forge to do proper bronzing of something on that scale, since I only know traditional methods of sculpting such statues... Besides, where would I keep the thing as I worked on it, and how would I transport it to a convention to put on display, let alone, where would it's permanent home be (because my Dad might object to dropping it in our front lawn...)...?

One argument for the front lawn would be that it might attract the birds away from the car in the driveway when they do their business. Statues are like that. ;)

That argument wouldn't work, especially since my Dad is still waiting for me to make him a Gargoyle for the lawn... I'm pretty sure he'd be upset that I didn't make his Gargoyle first...
Speaking of which, I probably need to get back in touch with one of my teachers about her art studio so I can start doing some of this kind of stuff... I haven't sculpted anything in years, and I kind of miss it... (My first skill in art was with sculpting, and is arguably still my best, yet underused, skill, and it was always my favorite creative outlet....)
