I felt the key was "gargoyle". Two of Winnie's refs equated 怪獣像 with ガーゴイル, and of course a gargoyle is not any old monster statue. Most of the Google images showed gargoyles, but there were a couple of ordinary monsters as well.
I suggest keeping it, but just for "gargoyle", and the 179 hits gets it an "obsc".

A+B.  having an entry for this would be like having an entry for "monster statue" in an english dictionary, i think.  our entry for 像 covers it, i'd say.

WWW images confirm sense 2, although it's obvious from 怪獣+像.
