Kyle Wilcock took to social media to proudly display his most recent purchase.
He said on a Blackpool Pleasure Beach history page - “Yesterday I bought a statue that I’ve been wanting for years!
“I sadly missed out when the Pleasure Beach put him up for sale six years ago and I couldn’t resist!
“Who remembers him stood outside the front of the River Caves?”
Many people did, the statue brought back so many memories for people.
The Pleasure Beach has periodically sold off items, such as statues, cars from the rides and other treasured memorabilia.
