which is the tallest statue?

Answer 1

The Ushiku Daibutsu in Japan, is the world's tallest freestanding bronze statue. Completed in 1995, it stands a total of 120m above the ground, including the 10m high base and 10m high lotus platform.

Look at second link for more examples of large statues.

Answer 2

This gets tricky - for example, the tallest statue in Texas is a giraffe in front of the Dallas Zoo with its head and tongue extended as if to get a leaf. The tongue was added to exceed the height of a Sam Houston statue by the interstate near Houston.
Does the height of a statue include the pedistal on which it is mounted: about half the height of the torch (305 ft) of the Statue of Liberty above the ground is from the pedistal (154).
And what of a statue that is laying down. Wiki says the Russian statue at 84 meters is tallest, but there is a reclining Buddha in Afganistan that is supposed to be 1500 ft.

Answer 3

Ushiku Amida Daibutsu in Ushiku, Ibaraki, Japan.
120 meters,high
The Ushiku Daibutsu (not sure of exact construction date; perhaps 1995 AD) is reportedly the tallest Buddhist statue in the world. One hundred meters in height, it is covered with 6-mm-thick bronze plates, and stands on a platform 20 meters high. The statue is more than double the height of the Statue of Liberty.
One can take an elevator to the fifth floor, 85m high, and have a look round over.
