Really appreciate this video. I'm awaiting my first statue from Sideshow sometime in early 2025 and it's helpful to understand the whole landscape of statue manufacturers. Definitely going to watch your back catalog of videos now.
Maiden Mike with the tough questions over here tonight! I think each company knows their place in the hobby and they know how to cater to their collector base. in my opinion it becomes dangerous when all these companies get muddled together into the same sauce. Depending on budget, space, and character preference each company has their spot in the collecting community we just gotta decide which lane we want to drive in. Cheers Brother!
Ghost buster. Are you new in Maiden Mikes World???? If so you best be start checking in more often. Because that video is from a few weeks ago. 🤣. Thanks for being part of Maiden Mikes World.
No I’ve followed you for a while but took a break from collecting and now I’m back. “Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in” lol. Plus I was collecting mostly 1/6 and now only statues
My man happy new year.. great video!! My fav statue company is JND. I don’t have much space so I try to get quality over quantity. I love prime 1 after jnd.. then it’s sideshow and tweeter head. The best reasonablely price is tweeterhead. These are my opinion.. infinite studios carry a lot of historical movie icons. I love classic movie pieces. Queen studios is solid..
From a price/quality ratio hands down Sideshow, but my No. 1 statues producer goes to Prime 1. Sure, some and most new ones are expensive af but have a bunch of then and I never was disappointed. But I've seen some XM pieces and they are also amazing.
@@MrGizmo5602 Hehe, thanks man! You have such an impressive collection with some really top pieces and the room is perfectly balanced! We truly are blessed having such beauties in our collections. Game on and let's hope for a good year.
For me is it Sideshow, since I own almost just Sideshow pieces. I like the simplicity of the statues and yet they can compete with other companys. The price point is also one of Sideshow plus point. Even for shipping to europe, I paid from 100 - 200 $. But if I had more space , I'm sure I would also collect some of the other companies statues.
@@MrGizmo5602 sideshow makes hollow pieces shotty paint work and other issues from researching them and collector group posts and videos. Sideshow is great for garage sale pieces👌🏻
In my collection I have XM Studios the most. They are the only company making different characters auch as Swamp Thing, Nova, Maestro, Super Skrull that Sideshow wont touch. Sideshow and Prime 1 statues go on sale all the time but XM has low ES and you rarely see sales. IMO its what makes a collectible a collectible. I agree with you that other companies are catching up though. Prume 1 is drowning in Batman statues. Queen is a hugh volume shooter like you said. Good video brother Mike

@@Jaredesq j. Thanks for coming in to the Maiden Mike family. Stay with us. Its always a good time
Great video. I’ll go with Sideshow - still the best combination of quality, price point and customer service in my opinion.
I cannot argue with that
Sideshow 🤣
It’s small and ppl will point n laugh ❤
I did a video a few years ago about showing me your collection and tons emailed it to me and lots of small nice ones out there
All companies have their pros n cons but I’ll go XM since 90% of my collection is XM! lol 😂
I can’t fight you on that choice
Have you posted your collection??
There are so many good company’s out there but sideshow has the best price points so I find myself leaning towards them most of the time
Cannot argue with that decision I’m probably with you on that
Sideshow 🤣
If price wasn’t an option, I’d go with XM. But since I have a family of 4 to feed, I have to go with Sideshow. More reasonably priced.
I agree with you
I’m thinking about sending my 2 cats 🐈 to work so I can get some infinity studios up in here.

Awesome response. But pick 1 if you only had 1 choice ??
For my current collection vision it would have to be Prime 1 Studio and Legendary Beast Studios@@MrGizmo5602
Great video Mike! They all bring something different to the table, that’s what I like

@@ghostbusterspluscollector9624 ok you are now officially family now since you made the godfather quote 😂
Haha 👍🏻stay safe brother!
BEST LICENSED COMPANY LBS 🏆 THEY MAKE SOLID STATUES UNLIKE OTHERS WHO DO HOLLOW
Who?????
@@MrGizmo5602 THE ONE AND ONLY LEGENDARY BEAST STUDIOS 🤘🏻
@@X.X.X.123 definitely a great choice but not enough volume coming from them
@@MrGizmo5602 QUALITY OVER QUANTITY ANY DAY!!!
Great Video, Love Sideshow, but Iron Studios does some great Stuff!!
I agree shuggs. The masters of the 1/10 no doubt. Thank you for being part of Maiden Mikes World

Also forgot PCS they take horror films. I collect horror statues. PCS is in my top 5. I want that candy man statue from them.
@@CristianoMiami13 You have great taste Chris.
I go back and forward between Prime 1 and XM. I think I’ll give to edge to P1 they are just excellent
You have a very big dog in the fight for number 1 can’t argue with that choice
I have both Sideshow and XM studios 1/6 scale statues. Both are excellent, but if I had to pick one, I’d probably go with XM.
I can’t fight you on that answer game Thanks for being part of Maiden Mikes World
I'ma go with pcs
You have a great dog in the fight in that choice
@@MrGizmo5602 😊

You picked a big dog in this fight. I cannot fight you on that decision. Welcome to Maiden Mikes World my friend.

We truly are blessed having such beauties in our collections.
Game on and let's hope for a good year.
@@JazzysTrove great response one of my favorite ever 😉
Hey yo! Look at you making videos. Guessing Sideshow for me Wolverine vs Hulk is enough for me 😂
My brother you are to cool for any statue company other than your own.
Sideshow 🤣
@@X.X.X.123 ?
Yeah
PCS is probably my fav. I say they because their animated TMNT and Transformer statues are my favorites. Second would be sideshow for their x-men line
I can’t disagree with that
Prime 1
Hi saleh I can’t argue with that answer. Thanks for being part of Maiden Mikes World 🌎
At the moment it’s PCS hands down
Chip. Thanks for being part of Maiden Mikes World 🌎. I ain’t argue with you on that.

I would agree with you Rocco sideshow is still fairly reasonable price wise.
I agree with you Rocco they have a affordable price point still in this business
Sideshow 🤣
@@X.X.X.123 I ain’t gonna argue with you on that. It’s legit
@@MrGizmo5602 sideshow makes hollow pieces shotty paint work and other issues from researching them and collector group posts and videos. Sideshow is great for garage sale pieces👌🏻
spec fiction is cool
Crazy. Do they make their own statue???? They are a business for items ???
@@MrGizmo5602 take a look I have bought statues from them. They sell statues like your poison ivy too
@@AnimeZone652 yes I know who they are. They are great. But I’m referring to those companies who make the statues
@@MrGizmo5602 they sell statues from other companies. Not sure if they make their own. But sell lots of statues
@@AnimeZone652 yes they only sell they don’t make them. You are correct they are one of the best wholesalers out there
Hi my friend you don't collect JND ?
Hi Andy. Have not got one yet. Definitely will one day.
Which character you are interested?
@@andyqueh1025 if I ever did purchase something from JND. Would have been Harley or Gal Wonder Woman

My bedroom brother great response XM is phenomenal for those reasons
