You Can Buy Your Own Fearless Girl Statue For $6,500

DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — You can now buy your own miniature replica of the "Fearless Girl," as long as you have $6,500 to spare.

The artist of the popular Manhattan statue, installed last year across from Wall Street's famous "Charging Bull" statue, is creating 1,000 miniature versions.

Artist Kristen Visbal is selling the replicas for $6,500. HuffPost was first to report on Visbal's new venture. Visbal is making the miniatures by using a 3D printer to print a scan of the original, which is then cast in bronze.

"My hope is that your limited edition bronze will serve as a symbol of empowerment and encouragement and as a reminder that collaboration between genders and culture is the enlightened path forward for smarter, stronger decision," Visbal said on her website.

She promised to donated 20 percent of the net proceeds to a nonprofit.

The iconic Charging Bull statue gained a new companion last year when the bronze statue of a defiant young girl was installed across from the bull, which has guarded Wall Street since 1989.

The Fearless Girl, which was initially installed as a temporary piece, garnered immediate tourist attention. Now, the city is considering making the pair a permanent installation in NYC, and might even move both statues to a new location.

The statue was installed in March 2017 by State Street Global Advisors, an asset management company, to draw attention to the firm's initiative to encourage more companies to include women on their boards.

State Street has been accused of hypocrisy by critics how have noted that in March the company had just five women on its 28-person leadership council. In September, the firm agreed to pay $5 million to settle discrimination claims from more than 300 female employees.

"Since we placed Fearless Girl in New York City on International Women's Day last year, she has inspired millions around the world and drawn thousands of visitors," a spokeswoman for State Street said in a statement. "We are currently working with the Mayor's Office to determine a permanent solution to keep Fearless Girl in New York City so she can continue to promote the power of having more women in leadership."
