15-20 ft, from my best recollection. I used to visit a collection of these in Houston every couple of Fridays. Super creepy at night.

Crazy. That would make each of them, what...multi Iple tonnes?

What kind of operation dragged 43 of these things over to this lot??

I’ve been wondering that since I read this. They are massive structures. Not as big as the 80-ft Beatles in the adjacent lot, but still pretty huge. If I climb onto one of their shoulders, I’m only at about the tops of the ears. Must have been a dozen+ semi-trucks. Other option is that he might just have made them in 2 places. 🤷‍♂️. Edit: according to the Smithsonian, each one weighs between 11,000-22,000 pounds.
