Probably going for the Motherland Calls, though I might go old-school and vote for the Colossus.

I do quite like the Angel of the North, but it doesn't stack up to the competition.

Does the writhing Vigelund column of humans not qualify? How tall is that thing?

pic is not big but this thing really is impressive in person.

"The Tower of the Sun (太陽の塔 Taiyō no Tō?) is a building created by Japanese artist Tarō Okamoto. It was known as the symbol of Expo '70 and currently is preserved and located in the Expo Commemoration Park in Suita, Osaka, Japan. The tower has three faces on its front and back."

Honestly think that baby buddha thing is the scariest so far.

I like this statue of Lenin in Kazakhstan, it's less gigantic than some of the other statues in this thread, though

bonus non-gigantic Lenin statue

soref, Friday, 25 April 2014 18:36 (nine years ago) link

seems like genghis khan is finished terrorizing everyone & is content to survey his homeland for eternity. this is still uncannily huge though

this is amazing

there's something about the motherland calls that's spooky, maybe because it's also commemorating a battle where a million people died.
