Thank you so much to Justin for the incredible opportunity to collaborate on this topic. I absolutely love statues, but I really appreciate figures as they are awesome too, and offer variety to our collections. I can't wait to collaborate again soon!!🤘🤘
It’s awesome to be collecting both, and I applaud you Justin for diving into statues! Now you need 2 collection rooms, one for figures and one for statues!
Nice collaboration Justin. Yes I'm also subscribed to Batman Statue Collector. As I've also got some statues. Okay 3, but it's a start. Good to see different content collection. As always kind regards Rikki
Statues are like what movies were whey they were Laser Discs. They're HD quality but big, heavy and impractical. Soon they made them smaller and smaller and with more features. So now you've got DVDs and Blu Rays and even direct to Streaming. Action figures with statue-like sculpts are your Blu Rays and DVDs and Streaming. You've got statue-like sculpts AND articulation as well as the durability that statues don't have. So you choose: Blu Ray or Laser Disc? Put it that way. ;)
I collect both 6 scales and statues, this is my take... 6 scale figures for pose ability, space and shelve presents. Statues for detail, craftsmanship and art presents.
Tried getting into statues couple of weeks ago, joined a bunch of the FB groups but got overwhelmed by the spammed affiliate links to Sideshow. Really turned me off from the whole experience, but they are a beautiful art form.
@@JustinsCollection Thanks for posting this, statue collectors reached out with advice. Had no idea you can mute admins on FB, but yeah apparently this is just a common meme in their community. Will give it another go with the groups I was recommended that don't do that.
@@raleigh4570 Really? Maybe the 1/6 groups I am in are different because they are also BST so they might have rules for not posting them. My issue came from seeing the same links being spammed 5-10 times a day across 3 different groups by the same admin. I was not aware at the time though this has been going on for a while. It's cool though I found a group that is chill and has no links, to each their own.
Justin/Chris, hopefully you both can collaborate on more videos. Perhaps a once-a-month highlight show. Then you can each bring your expertise and perspective to a 1/4 scale figure and/or a 1/3 scale statue review.... this would be very lively and entertaining to watch!
Well look at this, my two favorite collectors in one video. Wizard! I actually collect both, statues and Hot Toys figures. Started collecting statues in 2016 and Hot Toys in 2018. I love them both, statues for their size and overall presence, and Hot Toys for their vast variety of characters and crazy realistic portraits. There are pros and cons to each but one thing Hot Toys and statues share is they both display amazingly well. Anyone new to collecting can't go wrong with either. Oh and one last thing, Hot Toys is even more enticing now that they are pumping out more 1/4 figures. If they expand on their quarter scale line, they may hook even more collectors.
Great video! I watched the entire thing! Nice to see two worlds collide and just talk and celebrate both communities. One question I wished was asked was, wtf does Justin even do to afford the figures? Did he just inherit a bunch of money? 😅
the statuettes are further away from the collector's personality because those are, those remain, without a subjectification. The figures on the other hand, even when they are only posed, reflect the soul and personality of the collector.
I disagree (as a collector of both). with statues the collector's personality comes through more in the selection/ curation as well as lighting and display set up. A lot of statue collectors also repaint their statues.
@@drrrrzz9145 sure, but it is a setting of the environment, but the statue will always remain the same, and common to many others. Instead the Figures also differ by one centimeter ahead of the foot. I also collect both, but I prefer the Figures
I definitely prefer figures for sure. I much prefer a larger scale like in 1/4 scale. I think it's the perfect scale for me and sometimes details are much better in that scale in comparison to 1/6 and I have more freedom to pose. Also, I would love to have more 1/4 scale release from hot toy figures and would prefer to have the option to have both the crazy base and the standard base.
Apples and oranges, but both have there appeal 😀 I am moving towards the hot toys Star Wars line personally, prime 1 are amazing pieces but the cost and real estate they take up isn't working for me right now.
No comparison, Hot Toys are like a nice, entertaining and fast Corvette but Prime1 stuff is like to drive a Ferrari and Lamborghini not only their presence is amazing also their prestige.

Thanks so much Chris, it was an absolute pleasure working with you!

Not bad at all!
Figure for play
Statue for display
Nice🤙🏻

What is streaming? 1/12 scale figures?
I love that I don't have to pick up a side because I collect both.
Me too!

Agreed!
Great stream! Going to definitely subscribe because I’m a big fan of statues as well.
Thank you!
Love your vids 😃😃❤️❤️

I still love hottoys figures ( and Justin ) the most

Maybe!

@@federico1989I find great enjoyment in both but I see your point. I just spent about 45 minutes posing my McFarlane space marine in fact XD
Interesting.
I'm on team figures
I'm on both haha
@@JustinsCollection collab(
@@JustinsCollection same, but I stay away from 1/3 scale b/c of the space requirement.

Hi I love your videos
Thank you!
Are you going to review Sentinel Peter Parker
Maybe!
Statues just too big and too expensive.
Said nobody ever!
Statues arrive broken and higher end figures break when you pose them
Wow it’s just all bad I guess
Love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Thanks for watching!
I have the money for statues buttttt I rather buy 2-3 hot toys instead of 1 expensive statue ya know ? Plus I don’t got the room for huge statues
Fair enough
statue 4 ever there is no competition. for me figure are just toys XD
Damn spicy
No comparison, Hot Toys are like a nice, entertaining and fast Corvette but Prime1 stuff is like to drive a Ferrari and Lamborghini not only their presence is amazing also their prestige.
Damn! I'm inclined to agree!
I’d get so bored of just the same pose. Figures give the ability to change the pose constantly if that’s what you choose. It’s what you prefer I guess
There's for sure room for both as they offer variety in collections!! It's so much fun to be a collector right now🤘🤘
@@emcee6915 sounds like real toys, when the figures its real art
The issues with statues is that they dont nail the likeness like hot toys does. Which is weird since most of them are 1/4 and 1/3.
just be a degenerate like me and collect both :)
Haha me too!
Im torn
Me too Ken! Me too!
Figures
Nice!
Hi
Yo
3rd!
Nice!
