Mr. Peanut statue. Atlantic City, New Jersey - Mr. Peanut Statue

Atlantic City's Mr. Peanut Statue was only available for a short time after it appeared in July. He was vandalized, his bronze composite right hand broken in half. Luckily, before the attack I snapped a shot of my niece and nephew posing next to him. [Robert, 12/03/2006]

[RA: That extended pinky was too much for the criminal mind to tolerate! Mr. Peanut was taken away to Cherry Hill, NJ for repairs in mid-August 2006, and a rethinking of his structural fitness when pitted against boardwalk denizens. Mr. Peanut's armored shell is made of a tough mixture of steel and resin; the new hand will be all steel, impervious to all but the most determined and demented vandals.]
