I ordered this last year, put down a 1G NRD and waited. After the "oohs and aahs" wore off, reality set in and I decided this was way too big, way too heavy (330 pounds) and way too expensive an investment, with shipping alone being 652 bucks! So I canceled. No question it looks amazing, but I'm not going to keep replacing almost 40 batteries just to keep the light affects going. This definitely needed to be powered from a central source with an AC adapter and one easily accessible switch to turn everything on and off at once. I would have paid for a massive hunk of heavy unseen rock under that awsome paint job. Hollow it out and it still looks the same and saves everyone money on shipping, and back issues trying to lift it and move it around. Let alone the space and fortified display stand needed to show it off to no one that really would have cared except for me. New rule for me, if it's over 50 lbs, I pass. Gotta draw the line somewhere. Great review Mr. X, as always hits all the marks! Definitely poor QC missing that blemish in full view on the chest! Come on XM, for the money you need to catch that before shipping it out! Anyway, too all that stuck with the purchase enjoy the piece and remember to bend those knees when lifting! Peace!
Hulk - “Knock, knock!” Maestro - “Who’s there?” Banner! It’s banner a really major huge 1/4 scale unbox piece, hasn’t it X. It is so 5 out of 5. Too bad it could’ve been a USB or adapter plug in like my Unicron or PCS M. Bison 1/3 with connectors and ports between the base and trophy sets on this piece but with that turntable and battery packs, more money to spend to replace the batteries. And Maestro congrats 👏
Excellent video! Like always. We enjoyed very much! Statue for ever,in our opinion! So powerfull statue, specially with all those proximity pieces, deserves number 1 on the list
What a statue.... so much to look at. All those switch-out and proximity pieces. Hard to take it all in. XM one upped themselves again. Amazing really.
There is no doubt that this Maestro statue has set the bar high on how incredible looking concept it is. So it's definitely going to be hard to beat going into the new year as the most impressive sculpt. Bravo to XM studios for putting it all out there and congrats on getting it. Unfortunately for me I don't have the funds nor the space for something of that magnitude. Thank you for sharing it with us. Love how it all turned out.
I absolutely love this, it is totally amazing! Sadly I don’t have the space, and not prepared to spend that much, but I am sorely tempted. Many thanks for showing him
Again great review. Wow amazing huge @$$ statue. Love the look. Thanks for the omnibus tip, I will definitely look it up. QC did drop the ball, it should happen to anything but for this price wow!! You’re right on price. Selling it later if you need the space will be difficult because of shipping. I have a question that I believe you maybe able to answer. I see you get custom statues, I’ve seen a couple that caught my interest. Are they valuable/sellable on the second market if one day I want to sell it? And where is the best place or places to find/buy these unlicensed custom statues? I’m a big fan of thrown statues and figures as well!
Custom Statues are a tricky one. NOTHING is good on the secondary market currently but during a normal economy, traditionally custom statues gained value faster than licensed, however you had a smaller pool of buyers so it may take longer to move it.
Holy S---! Pre Watch Comment: FINALLY! I've been waiting for your review of this! I'm going to be honest, I was not looking at your eyes. I could type paragraphs about this. Overall, I love it and wish I could get it. Man, it's awesome! I need it
Because I’m a fan of the hobby I would probably do version A due to the sheer size of this beast. I agree with you the light up makes no sense and the intended loss of value because like you said you would never be able to sell this piece and at least break even. So you have to be an extreme fan to invest!
XM Studios knocked this one out of the park. If I had to consolidate my Marvel collection down to one piece, this would probably be it with all the Easter eggs.
As always a great review!! I also ordered the version B, should have it in March. I made a nice big custom cabinet to hold this beast. At 4500.00, I agree 2 out of 5.
Congrats even though not gettting statue of the year 2023 in my book, love the concept and all the trophies, B is definitely the way to go him sitting on his throne surrounded by all your so called bad ass hero’s, I conquered them all!
I got mine from Ben too. He’s the fastest shipping around. You really need to add the additional base. It looks silly and unkept because the side ledges are just floating about without it. Plus you’re omitting one of the coolest features…the turntable. Oh, and mine didn’t have that QC issue either.
This is pretty cool, really like the Sentinel eyes although it's on the back. Peter David was one of my favourite writers; he did Spider-Man 2099 and one of the definitive Hulk runs. Maestro was a bit niche but cool. Has been ages since I read it, need to again sometime.
Your intro alone was worth the watch. Definitely one of the best statues I ever saw in my years of collecting. Its a huge chunk of cash but if you did a top 10 X-Factor Statues (which is a video I'd like to see) I think this statue would probably be #1. P1 Jungle Hunter Predator and Imaginarium Devastator would probably get the Silver and Bronze Medals.
Very very impressive piece , congrats on this addition to your collection. Fingers crossed XM will make a 1/4 scale Juggernaut some day even though he loses judging by his helmet being at Maestro’s feet 🤷🏽♂️.
10:39 Yea completely agree with that, I’ve no idea why these licensed companies make their light ups so bad, my unlicensed Hero Belief Studios Rengoku Vs Akaza comes with a remote to turn on the light up, so much easier.
Absolutely incredible piece. I really want it but at the same time am kind of happy I’m not getting it after seeing those boxes and how heavy they are. Think I will pick up that omnibus though. Wasn’t going to but you made it sound pretty awesome lol
Value is always tough for these. Once you get to a certain price point people just can’t afford it. My analogy would be 1 million dollar Ferrari being sold for $500k is a great deal, but most people still can’t afford it.
Definitely a wow factor Question is who has space to properly display this masterpiece? The other base that came with it can really set it off. Does the base Spins?
Just got the A for 2k9 all inc, not a fan of the proximity from version B. Pretty sure we’ll see better proximity option from custom in the future for cheaper.
It’s a really cool piece, the one nitpick I have is I wish all the additional pieces fitted to the base better, I don’t like proximity pieces that you can just place wherever, it gives the appearance of just pieces you’ve added yourself. The base being round and all the proximity pieces being rectangle don’t look right, I wish the base was squared so the pieces fitted together better.
45 seconds into this video, I called X factor. Mrs X can fix the paint issue. That's a good video idea. Record her painting a kit fast editing it down so we can see the progress.
Jesus thank god that necklace can be used for a cover up, beyond that Epic statue, I've only read bits and pieces of the story line, maybe you could add affiliate amazon links for omnibus or maybe a link to the slabbed comic you show with it. I'm going to go watch that old custom you showed at start, looks epic and lol probably a lil easier to display. I think the only statue you showed up coming that could beat this is that Bane statue, but maybe my old brain be forgetting something :)
I had to pass this up. 😢 😭 not enough space or enough cash. I got to see it in person in Art statue collectors gallery and in person it just blows everything else out of the water. If I could go back in time, I think this piece and my custom Wolverine would be the only two statues I need for Marvel pieces. The Maestro storyline is amazing. Great pick up.
Wow. Looks fantastic! 1) With the cost I would 100% demand a replacement body for Maestro. 2) If you’re going to buy this absolute monster of a statue, you have to display it correctly! So yeah, the rotating bottom base is a MUST! Hopefully you’ll figure out some way to make that happen! 3) Oh lord those battery powered light up features… 😅 Other than those nitpicks, absolutely fu**in amazing!
@@TheXtremeChannelMrX That would be cool as fu** to hang out. That is the week we’re cruising to the Bahamas, Haiti and St. Thomas. So I will not be here that week. Enjoy your trip with the Mrs! Fu** yeah 👍🏻 😝
They definitely delivered with this statue. It looks incredible. It's a real shame about the chest paint on yours. Is there anything they can do for you on something like that?
Maestro and his other storylines are interesting, to say the least. I like how bored he appears in the statue. As if to say, "What/who is left for me?"
it looks awesome but also like a mess. I like more vertically tall statues where everything is connected. And in terms of X factor this is also outdone by the batman samurai on horse. way cleaner and streamlined
30 batteries is a little excessive. Seriously why would the have power in the base so you could plug in and switch on and off The statue is insanely massive but looks awesome! Hope you poured yourself some whiskey after assembling 😂

One of the greatest hands down crazy this statue weighs as much as I do absolutely crazy
Unrelated, but really appreciate the higher production value you've been putting into your videos now. Awesoome statue, congrats!
Thank you
Best new statue in awhile! Absolute insanity.

I agree with the hollowing out thing, I feel it would make the statue cheaper (less material used), and it would cost less to ship.
Amazing piece. Cancelled my PO but took your advice and ordered the omnibus. Look forward to reading it.
I remember that the Marvel Comics Maestro had Wolverine's Adamantium claws on display as well 👑
Hulk - “Knock, knock!”
Maestro - “Who’s there?”
Banner! It’s banner a really major huge 1/4 scale unbox piece, hasn’t it X. It is so 5 out of 5. Too bad it could’ve been a USB or adapter plug in like my Unicron or PCS M. Bison 1/3 with connectors and ports between the base and trophy sets on this piece but with that turntable and battery packs, more money to spend to replace the batteries. And Maestro congrats 👏
This piece is simply amazing. Major congrats Mr.X 👏 🙌
Congrats Mr. X! I love mine too! It’s definitely a highlight of my collection.
Wow! Amazing statue, congrats on the pickup. Definitely need A LOT of space to properly display this bad boy. I can see this as statue of the year.
Mr X. The man taking the financial bullet everyone cant take. Your a hero!
No... the guy working at McDonald's putting 11 McNuggets in 10 piece orders is the real hero.
Great review Mr. X. Amazing addition to the collection.
Excellent video! Like always. We enjoyed very much! Statue for ever,in our opinion! So powerfull statue, specially with all those proximity pieces, deserves number 1 on the list
Always appreciate your support!
Whoooo!! 🤩 Been waiting for this. Awesome unboxing & review! 💯
What a statue.... so much to look at. All those switch-out and proximity pieces. Hard to take it all in. XM one upped themselves again. Amazing really.
Awesome statue, really like all the trophies it comes with. Thanks for sharing.
This piece is the definitive maestro piece for sure. Looks fantastic and has a ton of awesome details in it
Man! I love that display. Would love to add that to my collection.
What a BEAST...but you're right, space and money are a huge factor.
There is no doubt that this Maestro statue has set the bar high on how incredible looking concept it is.

Thank you for your reply. How would rate your experience with custom statue makers and sellers? And do you think some are better than licensed makers?
Golden intro lol. The version bb really is what sells this imo. This statue is definitely a x. Amazeballz
Yooo this piece is absolutely insane! The juggernaut helmet on the base and surfers board🔥
A complete beast of a statue
Holy S---!

insane piece!! would have liked to see a wolverine trophy somehow also
That is one wild statue!!
It's insane!!. The whole set is actually a small collection itself
The King has arrived 👑
Congrats even though not gettting statue of the year 2023 in my book, love the concept and all the trophies, B is definitely the way to go him sitting on his throne surrounded by all your so called bad ass hero’s, I conquered them all!

I'm afraid it will collapse the moducase it's on
Incredible statue! The price and the weight of the statue is outrageous.
Huge congrats! The Trident slots in behind Maestro
Such a cool piece, been sitting on the fence whether to go ahead and order. If I do it will probably version A due to price and room. Great review 👍
Great review, great character and amazing statue, agree on the value hard to justify the cost.
This is pretty cool, really like the Sentinel eyes although it's on the back. Peter David was one of my favourite writers; he did Spider-Man 2099 and one of the definitive Hulk runs. Maestro was a bit niche but cool. Has been ages since I read it, need to again sometime.
There's a few 2099 in the Omnibus
Think this will be in your top 10 statues of 2024?
I talk about it in this video
Amazing content & very informative
Future Imperfect was one of the first trades I read and I absolutely loved it. Got me back hard into comics and trades.
I probably read the whole Omni in 3 days compared to a month that it usually takes.
Nice intro, haha. I'll say, it's too expensive. I'm ready to pay secondary market $3k...let's go.
This looks so amazing

100% is.
Mr, Mr X where are You? 😂 Only a small head behind the statue! Huge and incredible!
Value is always tough for these. Once you get to a certain price point people just can’t afford it. My analogy would be 1 million dollar Ferrari being sold for $500k is a great deal, but most people still can’t afford it.
Great review, Incredible statue, I have the Hulk transformation statue , I wish I had the space and money for Maestro Version B!!
Another amazing piece. I would give the edge to this one slightly
Agree with 2 on value... Also agree with 5 x-factor...
Looks like Franco has done a 1/3 Daredevil for PCS to accompany their Wolverine!
Your time is now!
Go Lions 🦁
I just saw it
That "do it" was a fuckin boss move, respect!
That's one impressive MYstro statue. Really like all the extra B version pieces
You Americans butcher the English Language
I'm not into Hulk, but man that's a gorgeous statue
Wow that’s fucking amazing..
MrX should really bring Maestro to his doctor for a Psoriasis consultation. Maestro can be the next spokesperson for Skyrizi.
I would think that he would heal
Definitely a wow factor
Question is who has space to properly display this masterpiece? The other base that came with it can really set it off. Does the base Spins?
The bigger base does
Awesome statue, love all the trophies around maestro. It’s definitely gets a 5 rating from me.
Just got the A for 2k9 all inc, not a fan of the proximity from version B. Pretty sure we’ll see better proximity option from custom in the future for cheaper.

@@TheXtremeChannelMrX Yea I just got to that point in the video.
10/10, getting mine soon
Too bad we will never experience a hulk like this live action…
How did i miss this 😮
thats a good center of the room statue
Not a big fan of this Character but if I were a baller like Mr X why the hell not , you bring the heat no doubt . Amazing statue brah .
Impressive!
Amazing statue congrats.
45 seconds into this video, I called X factor. Mrs X can fix the paint issue. That's a good video idea. Record her painting a kit fast editing it down so we can see the progress.
The issues with that is it takes days and then I would have to watch days of video to edit it.
@TheXtremeChannelMrX yeah I'm sure that'd suck. Maybe a picture at the end of each day, then a fast scroll of each picture to see the progress 🤔.
Jesus thank god that necklace can be used for a cover up, beyond that Epic statue, I've only read bits and pieces of the story line, maybe you could add affiliate amazon links for omnibus or maybe a link to the slabbed comic you show with it.

it's so massive!

Muy chingon!!!
I agree that it's over priced. Very cool statue though!!!
Is his necklace black widows belt? Congrats on that piece
I don't think so, but good thought!
it looks awesome but also like a mess. I like more vertically tall statues where everything is connected. And in terms of X factor this is also outdone by the batman samurai on horse. way cleaner and streamlined

Fantastic Statue, but I would go broke just on the batteries alone.
