As someone that has never seen it before, I am also sad it's going.

From the 20th or so level of an office building a couple of streets over. Every photo of this seems to be the one from ground level looking up where it looms over you, I feel it is important we have one turning the tables and looking down on it.
- This feels like an over complication of the joke "This view, on the other hand.."
Interesting that no mention of the "shocker" gesture was made. It was the first thing to come to mind when I saw it.
Truly a marvelous statue!
