JAPAN (Web Desk) - A statue of Japanese superhero Ultraman broke a Guinness World Record when it was built at 34.12 feet high in Shanghai.
Guinness World Records confirmed the statue at Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park was a new world record for the largest Ultraman.
The statue was built by a team of more than 20 people and weighs about 2,000 pounds, GWR said. It was constructed as the centerpiece of an Ultraman-themed area at the amusement park.

The record-breaking sculpture depicts the Ultraman Zero version of the hero, who debuted in 2009.
