Was going to [sK], but just removed entirely.  Here if you want to restore it:
胴像[sK]
If it were common at all, I might say it's worth making the typo searchable, but we can't catch every typo here, and 0.04% typo with a fairly low absolute frequency doesn't seem worth recording.  It would be better, I think, if this term didn't show up for a kanji search of 胴, which is how I found it. 

Unlike some other [iK] entries bronze + statue = "bronze statue" seems kind of unambiguous.  胴像 just looks like an IME/typo, and that seems reflected in the ngrams.

I read the comments on the old 胴 entry:  This tatoeaba sentence seems like a likely typo as well:
胴像は頭を持っていない。
例文 The statue has no head.

I've left a note to this effect on tatoeba.

One of the 2011 references is this:
http://blog.webtravel.jp/partner44/index.php?itemid=3002
It spells 胴像 but mentions a specific statue "ジェルジンスキー像", which you can google, and is a quite-ordinary-looking bronze.

Another ref, an archive.org link now:
https://web.archive.org/web/20040508163939/http://www9.plala.or.jp/takedagun/siseki/Niigata/Joetu/K-maturi/K-maturi3.htm
Has a pic of an ordinary bronze statue, writes "謙信公胴像の下に続々と"

Google confirms this is a mistyping of 謙信公銅像.

The other entries no longer exist, didn't bother to search on archive.org.
