The main mistake is that you even start. Once you begin buying the statues it’s hard to stop. $$$$$$$$ Lol!
So true. Just don't get a Prime1. That's the point of no return.
@@NexusVerbal yeah I'm scared, I'm getting one this year and I have to resist.
@@witchblade100377 Don't do it. Before you know it you'll be getting life size statues. Then it's vehicle replicas. And then, who knows?
@@NexusVerbal life size stuff, no way, I could never afford those. Not big on vehicle replicas either. Just statues of characters I like.
Guess i am the polar opposite..
But that is indeed the down fall of many a collector.
This is why we got into Pops...Little did we know they’re nothing more than a gateway drug to statues. :D
C Monster7D I buy more pops if they have mouths on them some pops are expensive 100.0 and more
And marvel legends
Hahaha so true
Pops are the modern day Beanie Babies.
Rob Schaeffer lol!!
Biggest thing for me was collecting what I want to collect and not getting caught up in trying to keep up with what others get.
Had 40 1:4 scale and sold them all to begin collecting smaller Bowen/Koto because what I liked personally was large displays with lots of characters and I couldnt be happier. Collect for yourself and your own enjoyment.
Those hulks looked amazing. You had all the colours. Then you shafted hulk. Hulk will be back for his revenge.
Iron Man will always sell
Shaf Serious i was surprised to hear that myself, love me some Bruce
Easiest rule to follow: Only commit to what you can afford.
# Comic Tom Giveaway
Eric Turczynowsky good rule
I can agree with that, I never do pay plans or anything like that. If I can’t pay it in full right away or pay off my CC in like 2 payments I won’t pick it up.
This is literally the collaboration of my dreams LOL. Two amazing channels coming together to bring even more amazing content,keep up the great work fellas !!
I am glad I got into the hobby early. I think it is close to 20 years ago. I think coming in now I would be overwhelmed and so sad with the high prices. I miss when 1/4 statues were under $250. The best advice, buy statues of characters you love and know you will have long-term.
Good stuff and great video as usual brotha! Keep the great videos and knowledge coming!!!
Peps!
Very true about keeping boxes. Your taste changes over the years. You think you are keeping statues forever, but changes happen. I used to collect comics long ago. I sold them all. Then I moved to Mego 70s action figures. Then I sold them. Next was Superman only items. Well, that’s gone too. Now I’m strictly an Alien and Predator collector. Let’s see how long that lasts, lol.
I’m new to this and have been rewatching old videos lately. I’m curious to hear your new interests if you’re still active! If you’d like, of course
The content is always improving, love seeing you bring on and talk to other insiders. Stay Minty Gem.
Great info. Thanks, Gem Mint.
Great video! I've been looking at those 1/6 scale DC XM statues - Love the Superman and Green Lantern ones...I was damn close to getting that Brown Wolverine when I got my bonus this year but it was sold out.
Always nervous about a pick up this big, especially with the exchange but the itch is creepin'
This was good stuff! 👍🏾
Dope video thanks for the info my man
Outtakes are killler, Gem! Love it!
“ ComicTom Give Away “ loving these mash up videos. It is nice to double check to make sure I am doing things the right way.
Great video lots of useful tips for collecting in general
Great video. I've pick up a few statues. And display them is my problem and what to do with boxes. I love this mixture with u guys and I want in on give way
Great advice. No BS . Big thanks to both of you
Awesome stuff guys! Good to see the collaboration.
Comic Tom Giveaway!
Enjoying these videos with you 2. Keep em coming!
COMIC TOM GIVEAWAY
Comic Tom Giveaway! Awsome collaboration fellas! Definitely need more. 👍
Thanks Gembo for that video, I’ll keep that in mind!😁👍
lol I still can't tell if you actually talking to dude live or if his was a pre-recorded section
Typical Toy Reviews they are talking live. You can tell when they’re speaking at the same time Gem’s voice briefly becomes the rough Skype call sounding audio probably recorded on Tom’s end before the levels are shifted back to the audio he is recording himself. I think the reason it sounds like they aren’t doing it live is because they are taking turns giving each other plenty of time to speak and avoiding speaking at the same time (to avoid this very issue)
Great compliment :)
@@mikeyytu9283 exactly...we wanted it to look professional like one of our regular pre recorded videos. the live stream format suffers from bad quality and tends to drag on
Lol
Great vid - I especially enjoyed the blooper reel lmao!
that sneeze lol
Really enjoy these top 10 videos. Been learning a lot about this hobby which is still very new to me. Keep it up!
Comic Tom giveaway.
Hahahaha wow I’m on the first stage right now, wanting to buy every statue 😂😂😂 every piece that Gem mint reviews I’m just want to get it as well 😂 excellent content guys. I was wondering should we be keeping the boxes and you guys said it… 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
My wife about to kick me out
I don’t even collect statues and this was still a dank video.
Practice Discipline! Try to keep your Collection Uniform and Above all know your Limitations!💵
Good info, thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate this list because I’m rlly rlly new to collecting statues I just bought my first couple statues which are Spawn,Hulk,and Black Manta
Love the outtakes at the end LOL!!!!
Love this team up, please do more videos together! I like the pace and the informative conversation
Comic Tom giveaway. Keep those boxes!!! I have enough boxes to build a house. Got to do it though. Good video fellas. 👌💯
Sick intro, new geminites full of skills
Loving these collabs, Gem. Also really digging the outtakes, lol. ComicTomGiveaway
Kirbie B glad you liked the outtakes! We had fun with this one, thanks for your support
This was great. I am trying to expand outside of books and to get knowledge on other side stuff was very rare and refreshing. Would love to see if u 2 have info on other things cic related such as this new card market or graphic novel collecting. I enjoyed gems omnibus video from back in the day. Thanks guys keep the new ideas cing and tom keep your boys from banging on your tables lol. Later
Great topic and video. There’s always going to be better statues for as long as you live, so no harm in just being appreciative and content with what you already got. At least until the uncontrollable thirst returns....
COMIC TOM GIVEAWAY! I'm so stoked! I love this channel. So glad I found it!
I keep my boxes in my basement on shelving high off the floor!
Aw why did I lose my diamond like?
GEM! I LOST MY LIKE cuz I fixed a typo in my comment! Nooooooo
I love seeing this series continue.
Thanks for awesome advice
Comic Tom Giveaway: thanks for the advice. I’m 60 and just started collecting and have only purchased villains so far. Big fan of great villains.
ComicTom Giveaway! I love the stuff both you guys do! Keep killing it!
Love that rorschach statue Tom has. Rorschach is easily my favourite character. Interesting video as I'm thinking of getting into this game a little more.
Comic Tom Giveaway! Great video, super interesting!!
comic Tom giveaway!!! Keep bringing the fire guys!! I'm new to collecting and the info you provide amazing!!
Great tips, some of these also apply to other hobbies like miniature tabletop war gaming and board games!
New to collecting this was so helpful any other things to look out for on this hobby
Yoooo now I want to grab some statues! First of the list is carnage and Kate pryde! And we definitely want to see more blooper reels, you guys are the best!
The lesson I learned was once I knew which characters I wanted to have (love and connection), I made an Excel sheet or list. I bookmarked website shops and links to statues that I really wanted. The sculpt, the paint application, the base. And of course, the price. I figured out what scale I prefered. For me, I learned that I prefer 1:4 and larger scales, even though I've collected mostly 1:6 scale in the beginning. Later on, I regretted the 1:6 scale statues and ended up selling most of them. eBay and PayPal fees are no joke!
Great informative video Gem Mint & Tom! 👍🏽 I just recently started collecting 1/4 scale pieces (upgraded from 1/6 scale Bowen & Kotobukiya). Now I’m still keeping the 1/6 scale pieces I own, but have limited space for my 1/4 scale pieces. Nice advice to just buy the characters you like as opposed to trying to buy other characters for the sake of completing a set. With that in mind, you think I should get the SS PF Thor breaker of brimstone or SS PF Amazing Spider-Man? I like both characters, but can’t decide! 😬
Love these videos
Great advice, currently researching reasonably priced uk sellers. Outtakes were funny 😂
Great video, thanks for the info. What type of media is used on
Bruh that Intro was on point!
Loving the vidoes you guys are doing together should definitely do more :)
!Comic tom giveaway!
I'm guilty...lol I keep my boxes just not in the best condition. Thanks for all the information. You both are a LOT of help.
Another GREAT video guys. BTW - The out-takes were a funny add at the end! #COMICTOMGIVEAWAY
Comic Tom Giveaway. Love your vids. Subbed to Comic Tom. Keep em coming guys. 👍
Useful informations !
that intro is sick!
Comic Tom Giveaway
Awesome content as always guys. Love the partner episodes, keep them coming!
Good video, I’m thinking of getting the Xmen vs Sentinel statue Diorama, it will look awesome on my game room
Thanks for the tips, I’ll wait for a bit before preordering
Comic tom giveaway. Great stuff guys im getting big into collecting and love the info really helped. Ive always kept boxes and just recently got the thor breaker of brimstone from sideshow i love it.
A lot of Great points
Hey, Stephen. Great vid as always. The switching screen from previous vids was a bit jarring. Kudos to the split screen used for this vid.
Great advice on collecting...
Like the team up its dope
I bought the life size bust of artoroius the abyss walker from dark souls back in December and it’s supposed to arrive end of July, can’t wait it’s my second statue and I’m so hyped because I’ve never had one this big before
I just bought my first statue from Sideshow, I had plans to get my 3 favorite characters but after receiving it I'm having some serious 2nd thoughts. It takes so much space it's really hard to display it correctly. I measured and everything beforehand but still 31" tall is enormous, but I wanted the detail, because I often use it for reference when drawing. I'm thinking of making my own base and boxing the original back up. I would be really interested in a video like this about turntables, and display cases!
Welcome to the family. I do nothing but build my own cabinets and bases. It’s INFINITELY more satisfying to put these statues into something you’ve crafted. It also lets you dictate the space and where they go instead of the cabinet or shelf limiting your choices. Get some 3/4” sanded plywood, cut them to size, use a router to cut 1/8 inch gloves for the plexiglass (use a plexiglass cutter or have Home Depot cut it to size for you), get some led strips or jewelry case led spotlights and your in business. Create some “face frames” (plenty of videos on using a pocket hole jig $80.00 from harbor freight) out of maple strips and you’ve built yourself something people pay hundreds of dollars for.
Keep your box is a huge one. Even things you love you may eventually just not have a place for and thus you might be more willing to part with them + just moving or storage situations in between.
Hahah love this great for the community! We all dumb until someone teaches us 🙏🏽🤙🏽
Got Gambit by Sideshow on preorder. Missed out on the exclusive Rogue portrait, but if I ever see it close to retail from a third party I will grab that too.
digitalinked do you know how much the shipping would be on that gambit ?
Comic Tom give away. That's a great looking book, thanks for this video, it was very informative. I only have 1 statue left. I wish I didn't get rid of the ones I had.
"Comic Tom giveaway" Awsome video and a nice touch with the outtakes, but not gonna take you up on all the advice, I Simply love gaming statues to much.
Peter Jakobsen I want a Mega Man statue myself, I feel ya lol
I've only been watching your channel for a few weeks now and loving everything you have been doing. Thank you comic Tom for showing me an amazing channel. #comictomgiveaway
Hey guys, thank you for the advice! There's a sweet Skeletor and a sexy Evilynn I've had my eyes on for some time...but now I'm worried if I have room for both! Also Comic Tom Givaway! I head over to Toms now!
Def keep the boxes. 👊🏻 Waiting on a 1/4 scale Crush and a Cosmic Ghost Rider.
Great vid!! You are amazing Gem. Comic Tom giveaway please
Awesome Show! I was wanting to get some custom pieces done from my comics. Any suggestions on a good company to go with?
So how does one get ahold of someone to further discuss selling of moldable ready 3D models . I even do the prototype models with a 3D printer
Just discovered your channel and subscribe awesome content
I like collecting stuff but all I really want is One Statue, and that's the Wolverine Premium Format Figure by Sideshow, the Classic Yellow Suit with the Sentinel Hand as the Base.
I like that statue, but the pose is more horizontal, not really standing. I prefer the Sabretooth statue and pose.
Comic Tom give away!!!! You both get a subscriber today. Great video, fellas
#ComicTomGiveAway. Keep these collabs coming!
#comicbookgiveaway. Love you guys. These team-ups have been dope. Great work!
How does the MTO work with the gem mint store? If you place the order after the XM website says orders closed is it still a valid pre order?
Comic Tom Giveaway : another great video guys , keep up the great content
Comic Tom Givesway
Wish I had the room for those amazing Hulk statues! Guess I’ll just live through you for now
These collab videos with Comic Tom are legit! Keep up the good work! Shout out from Hawai'i 🤙🏼Comic Tom Giveaway
Awesome video. Really good insights, but it is sometimes very hard to practice patience when you're hyped for a statue lol. I have to nuance one thing btw about gaming statues: It hugely depends on the franchise whether those statues devaluate or go up in price. Almost all high-end pieces that are from Nintendo (and especially Zelda) can hugely increase in value. Same goes for some other franchises.
The statue game sounds awesome to get into, but don’t have the space for it. Thank you for the video gentlemen!
Comic Tom 101 Giveaway... great video!!
You said it...tastes change. I'm currently unloading a lot of Star Wars statues that I thought I'd never get rid of. Comic Tom Giveaway
ComicTom Giveaway. Love the bloopers!
When it comes to statues , action figures, or model kits : I Save Everything !!! For storage alone, it just makes sense to have the original box it came in. Nothing else is specifically designed for the protection of that piece. I also am a big fan of the art that's displayed on most statue boxes, like Sideshow. Especially the Court of the Dead !
Great video and collection advice. How do you feel about action figure collecting from companies like Mcfarlane toys, Neca, Marvel select, etc? Do you think they have the same appeal/value as Statues? Great video, keep them coming
Always stoked to hear that awesome info you guys have! I don’t even own a statue, but great tips! #comictomgiveaway
ComicTom giveaway , love seeing the colab , definitely got sideshow Gambit on pre order
That Hobgoblin statue is awesome!
