You might recall recently that fans of RoboCop managed to raise over $60,000 through Kickstarter so that Detroit could erect a RoboCop Statue, despite the government’s rejection of the idea.

Now, RoboCop himself, actor Peter Weller, has recorded a message to the people of Detroit regarding the proposed statue.

Check out the video here below.

Artist Francesco Francavilla is currently holding an auction on his website for a RoboCop sketch, with all of the money going to the #RoboCharity for Forgotten Harvest. The sketch shows the crimefighting cybog serving food to the hungry in his mission to protect and serve the people of Detroit.

Bidding on the sketch will end at 6pm EST on Sunday, February 27, 2011.

#RoboCharity came in response last week to the news that fans had raised over $50,000 (currently over $60,000) for Detroit to get a RoboCop statue (one the city officials neither asked for nor do they seem to want). While most agreed that banding together to raise money for something like this was very cool in theory, many people felt that money should actually go to help the people of Detroit. Thus the @RoboCharity Twitter account was created and #RoboCharity hastag to bring awareness to Forgotten Harvest, an organization that gets food out to the hungry in the Metro Detroit region.
