BOSTON (AP) – A long-forgotten, and somewhat unsettling, statue of Mickey Mouse with giant lobster claws for hands has found its way back to Boston.
The 700-pound statue was last seen in the city nearly two decades ago at Quincy Market where it entertained tourists and shoppers – before slipping out of sight and into city lore after it was sold in 2005 at an auction organised by Disney.
In the interim, references to the six-foot tall ‘Lobsta Mickey’ appeared on Atlas Obscura, a website for oddball landmarks, and in a Zippy the Pinhead comic strip from 2019.
