I'll try it out tonight Kingpin! You never let me down!
OMG This looks incredibly stunning and beautiful! I am at complete awe of her beauty and dynamic posing!!!!! ❤ Always a Psylocke fan, but a dreamer of owning a statue of her!
I think it turned out really nice.
I'm not really a big XM fan from the pictures I'm seeing generally but everyone who gets them in hand seems to love them.
Great review Gem. Thanks for keeping it real. That’s what I appreciate as a collector.
LOVE the HONEST review Gem!
Like that seal of approval. Can’t wait to see more reviews with the new addition. Thanks!
Glad you’re keeping it real, yet again Gem! Keep the honesty coming and your reputation will continue to be solid. I couldn’t agree with you more about those portraits. A portrait on any of these premium pieces can be an afterthought. They should always be the highlight.
Thanks for another great review. Appreciate you keeping it real.
Awesome video!! I think you make assembling these statues so much more easy from a layman’s point for me. Thanks for the knowledge!
Dope piece, especially those blades! 🔥🔥🔥
Ooh, This is nice. The picture that came with is is amazing. I like the action pose. It's nice to look at, especially when it's spinning.
Appreciate the honesty, You owe it to your audience. Keep up the great work Gem.
Homeboy trying to be Nelly 2.0 with that bandaid. :D
Whoa, they really went all out on this one!
Great review! Love the battle damage on the base and the color on her costume 👌🏻
Love that blade piece!
Honestly I like everything but the portrait. I think you hit the nail on the head with describing it
Wow, I agree, the face just looks so emotionless. Thanks for the review!
I like the art print of the statue thank you for showing this art print and the statue I like all the coloring and everything on this statue including the base of the statue thank you so much for showing this off and I hope you and all your loved ones will have a wonderful day and night thank you so much
Beautiful piece!
I got this piece coming. Really appreciate the honest review. Hopefully I end up liking it more than you do.
Good dynamic base with those drills.
I love how dynamic this piece is. The metal sword looks great where a lot look more plastic. Stand alone, not worth $900. If this is going with other X-Men statues, then it's a great statue to have.
Love the color in this piece
I LOVE IT ! psylocke is amazing
Was seriously considering picking this up as i need a psylocke for my X-men collection but i think i'll pass and hold out for another statue. Appreciate the review.
Nice dynamic piece
Gorgeous
Keeping it real. Love to see it. Much respect
Honest review. Please continue keeping real. Call it like it is. Dont be bias. Thank you
Nice job!
Thanks Gem! I know some may think the portrait is not one of XM's best, but I for one think it's very appropriate looking. Keep up the great content!
Good review. Always keep it real gem. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism that's how we and products improve. At the end of the day we all want AWESOME statues. Nothing beats honesty keep it up.
This statue of psylocke looks so awesome especially the base it feels like she training in the danger room so cool. And the face of her is cool with the butterfly on her face
Gem, you choose good idea for leting us know is the piece worthy for buying and is the price fair. Very good idea, super cool stuff
I love armored pants xD
Oh yeah, the anatomy looks great. 🦊👊🏼
Very nice statue
Getting the jar ready
I'm digging this 🔥
definitely looks better than the promo pics. I think the way you had it angled at the end with the butterfly portrait looks the best, but would have loved to seen a more intense "Jim Lee inspired" portrait. I like the energy they have in the base, maybe could have had a bluish hue to it to get more of the danger room vibe. Either way, great review as always!
Great! Mine’s arriving early December
Those Danger Room tentacle things are neat. I agree with the expressions on the face. Maybe it's because she's in the Danger Room and not a real foe, but still. I like the blade. It's good that you kept it real.
man it looks really cool. the metal sword really looks nice
Diggin the seal of approval.
YOOO U FINALLY DID IT!!! Rating whether or not a piece deserves the Gem Mint seal !!
Yea should have started a long time ago
@@GemMintCollectibles Na man it’s a new era and your channel is always evolving! I always saw you liking my comments when I would say you should rate them from 1 to Gem Mint haha. You’re doing incredible and very engaged with your fans. Channels like your’s covering these kinds of things deserve so many more millions of followers and I think they will once more comic book and movie lovers are aware of this part of the market! Keep it up the great work!
Still remember falling in love with her as a little dude when I first played Xmen Children of the Atom in the arcades.
I appreciate your honesty I got the beast I was really disappointed that I wasn’t able to get Psylocke but I might still pick it up if I can get it for retail or a better price on it in the future
very nice!!!!!!!
A lot of collectors call this character "THIGH-LOCKE" -- now I get it, yo.
Great honest review Gem. I love the texture that XM does with the costumes and how dynamic the piece is but I agree the portraits are not very good and there is too much going on with the base. I have the SS Psylocke X-Force, while that has flaws also seems like the better piece if you were able to get it for retail.
I agree about the face, other than that it's a cool dynamic piece
I'm the biggest Psylocke fan and this isn't the perfect statue yet. At least for me. XM isn't doing a good job regarding face sculps lately with the exception of Emma Frost. Come on Sideshow, deliver us a great Psylocke! Just like you did with Jean Grey and Rogue.
well, you might have just gotten your wish granted. The new PF looks beautiful
@@TheShepRad It does!! So happy with that reveal!
As much as I like XM, their X Men line isn’t the best, and their female portraits haven’t looked the greatest either lately - very bland or masculine.
I love the sort of shiny plastic effects on some parts of her costume, they've been doing that lately in the MCU with Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel costumes and I think it's the ideal point between tissu and leather
i like the costume it looks great almost like a movie costume
That's sick
I wish you where this tough on the dark side piece but still love the review
Very honest review, I agree with the verdict. Five stars review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve been thinking about starting a X-men line. Think Gambit would be the first one for me to grab if I still can.
I think its pretty cool, I like psylocke. I also really like x-23👀
Great looking piece! Love the ponytail headsculpt. Only downside is she's overscaled. She makes my SS Colossus look small. XM needs to get their scaling issues sorted out
That's right man tell it like it is its the best way lol
Love the piece but just something are off, thinking of getting SS Nightcrawler !!
that art print is very impressive...
XM dropped the ball on this one. Could have been epic!
There's a lot to like about this piece. It's dynamic, full of detail and I actually really like the base. I do agree that the portraits and skin tones could be a lot better though.
Dope
AGREED! It’s the same reason why I can’t pull the trigger on SS Nightcrawler! With no rage portraits, their phoning it in. Do they not remember X-Men do have internal rage, and it’s only the Professor that calms them down while fighting. No rage portrait…doesn’t get my loot.
Yea I actually like this one, I love her pose moving forward, love statues where they’re moving out to one side, yea I like this one. But totally agree with the lifeless facial expressions, but that psionic face piece saves it.
Cowabunga Geminites 🤙 150k here we come 👊
I like the dynamic pose but that’s about it. I’m glad you shared your true opinion on this one. Did you pick up the PCS TMNT Leonardo?
Yea man, looks like I’m getting a late batch
I got this statue and it’s my favorite one in my collection so far because of how dynamic it looks. The psyblade and the butterfly are my favorite parts and I love that the sword shines. I agree with you on the portraits. Not only would they have been better if they had more expressions, but the biggest thing for me was that she doesn’t look Japanese. Even though Betsy isn’t Japanese, the body she is in is. The portrait with the ponytail looks closer to the Jim Lee drawings, but I prefer displaying her with the other portrait for the butterfly effect, which honestly they should’ve made it to where you could attach that to either portrait. Now I’m hoping statue makers will finally start making statues of the current Psylocke, Kwannon, and make statues of Betsy in her own body as who she is now, which is Captain Britain. Or at least start creating statues of Betsy in some of her many other costumes from the past.
I agree. They could have done something else with the base to make in more vibrant.
Dude, where are you getting these PHENOMINAL Capcom shirts?! I love your Xmen COTA shirt and your previous VS shirts! I'm so Jelly!
TeePublic
The non butterfly headsculpt is the one for me.. The other one will probably stay in the box.. I wish they would have made it to where the butterfly could go on either head.. Still a dope piece to me overall
I think psylocke a winner here. The color, pose, face is great. Personally I think the seal approval from anyone do not mean squat when it statue since the choice to like the item is personally preferences. It is going to be great to show her off with the sideshow psylocke.
psylocke is my favorite, especially from uncanny x force omnibus
I hate being 'that guy' to say it but here goes. I LOVE XM's pieces but man their prices are insane. I mean upward to a grand for a quarter scale statue. I tend to reserve those prices for 1/3 scale pieces, an extra couple hundred bucks added on give or take. All that said, they make some beautiful statues and their bases never disappoint. I'm a fan of this one but, again, given their prices I tend to be overly selective of their stuff. Those of you who are planning to get this piece, I'm happy for you. It's a nice one.
The current 1/4 scale Prime1Studios Berserker Armor Guts are both $1,449, plus over $700 to deliver.
@@InfamyOrDeath-__- Good point. Yeah, I'm not quick to spending that price for 1/4 scale pieces. But I am fully aware these prices are going up all across the board. I suppose as these pieces get more complicated, the more expensive they'll be. Oh and don't get me started on shipping. That's another statue in itself! Haha! The hobby has gotten very expensive.
@@genefactor007 I’m brand new to the hobby, before this year I’d never bought a statue in my life haha, I was never interested in them at all. But that changed when I seen the Berserk statues here on Gems channel, I thought they were the coolest things I’ve ever seen, and then I got into the Manga, and now I’ve bought the 1/4 scale Skull Knight, and the 1/4 scale Berserker Armor Guts, Rage edition.
@@InfamyOrDeath-__- CONGRATS! And welcome to the hobby! Looks like you jumped in on the deep end, huh? The Berserk line is AMAZING! Pricey piece but man aren't they cool. Those bases are to die for. Of all the Berserk pieces Prime 1 has done, I think my favorite is the 1/3 Guts. I missed out on that one however as I focused my attention on the 1/3 Witcher that's due out next year. The details Prime 1 put into their Berserk line is insane.
Prices have skyrocketed in the last four years. The prime 1 venom was two huge boxes and weighs 60+ pounds. It cost me less than $1000 to get in-hand back in the day…shipping costs are impacting the hobby but in general, prices were going up anyway. Quality has improved across the board especially at Sideshow, so that’s always going to come with price increases. I’ll pay $700 for a statue with a great base and great paint job before ill pay $550 for a statue with a great paint job and mediocre base
You should do a Big Barda review.
That's if they made one.
Completely agree gem, the portraits lack and the base is all over the place. Missed opportunity, unfortunately.
I appreciate your honesty👍 I thought you sold off your 1/4 scale xmen though (minus Sabertooth), so why did you get this one?
Still getting in the new ones.
Does have a Wonder Woman face, interesting to always hear how you talk about all the statues. be blessed,saved in Jesus shalom
Good size
Gem keeping it real.
Are you still selling statues Thur your website?
Picked up Modern Thor from you from X M
I had to step away from the site and let my partner in Singapore take over 100%
Is it possible that sideshow studio make new format for psylocke too?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love the piece but not feeling the portraits. Like you said it can use a great custom portrait. I fo have it coming in so it might grow on me lol
Gem what’s with the bandaid on your forehead? It’s like you’re covering up a slot for your psionic look 😀. Well I l personally like this psylocke, in particular the second portrait which looks a bit like the Jim Lee style. What I also like is the dynamic pose and the texturing of her costume. I wasn’t a fan of the sideshow one, she looked complacent and just “posing”. I do agree it’s a little expensive for 1/4 scale but id rather pay a little more for the statue I want vs one that I don’t. To each their own but I’m excited to receive my psylocke hopefully sometime soon!
I got this one because I missed the Sideshow one and I'm satisfied with it. I do agree that the facial expressions needed more and it seems to be a downside with XM lately with their female portraits. The upcoming Rogue statue of their also has very expressionless sculpts. Will probably be the last XM I can get because also, their bases are getting much bigger and taking up more room for what I have.
I am still waiting for THE psylocke
I'm so close to pulling the trigger but something about it just prevents me from loving it =( Guess i get to hold on to my money lol
Great review !!! You're right about the face, it should be more oriental-ish or Jim Lee's style, that's when she got over. Overall the statue is nice, the price, it could've been lower. Not getting your seal of approval...OMG...Still....Psylocke is one of my favorite X-MEN 👍
They're gonna re-tool this 100% I'd be totally shocked if they didn't.
Everything is dope but the portrait. The butterfly saves it a bit because her face is a little bit hidden.
I think XM beast statue is their best x men statue in their line so far.
The butterfly effect saves us from her deadpan expression. Is this a companion piece to the Sentinel diorama?
Na that’s from Iron Studios… 1:10 scale
She looks great, but I totally agree with you on the head sculpts, they're too similar. I think they should've done one neutral expression and one with her gritting her teeth or something like that.
The butterfly effect would look better if she was jumping out of a time machine. But she looks like she's running threw Chopping Mall.
XM makes some great pieces. The portraits didn't do it for me on this one. Agree with your Wonder Woman assessment. Excited to see their Archangel and Kyle Rayner
That Kyle Rayner statue looks insane.
How does XM scale with sideshow 1/4. I mostly have sideshow but have some XM coming in the future. I have prime 1 Batman 1/4 and it is amazing but really over scaled
I think XM tends to have scaling issues. You can get away with some mixing abs matching though.
