This is Jed’s Island Resort. There are many places in the Philippines to unwind in the sun. There is only one resort with a DoTA Tauren Chieftain statue.
Since 1995, Jed’s Island Resort has been severing vacationers in the province of Bulacan. The resort continually rotates out new statues that are often video game, anime, or manga themed as well as ones inspired by American comic book and cartoon characters.

Some of the statues look OK — if not, cool. But many are — how to put this politely — lacking. But that’s, perhaps, part of the charm. And I’m not sure Jed’s Island Resort has gotten the rights to use these characters, but let’s hope so.
Via the resort’s Facebook page, here’s a look at the good, bad and ugly statues the Jed’s Island has showcased over the years.

Wow, the amount of companies that could sue the shit outta this place.
I think ‘geeks’ would most likely criticize a resort like that, making comparisons to shameless chinese counterfeit and such.
Here’s some advertising of the place.
All the Disney stuff is terrifying, haha. Poor Minnie Mouse.
What’s the big cute critter in the seventh photo, behind Po from Kung Fu Panda?
Isn’t that the big flying thing from Avatar: The Last Airbender?
Severing vacationers since 95!
I will never look at Minnie Mouse the same way again.
For the record, Tauren Chieftain is a Warcraft 3 unit that was borrowed by Dota… so really it has a WC3 statue.
HAHA. Legal rights to use the characters? HAHAHA.
Some of those images will haunt my nightmares.
