      Thanks man! I'm not usually a stickler on comic accuracy. But it's always nice to see a familiar color palette. Even, though they're not what I would have picked, the color on this was definitely not a deal breaker for me.

    The HD quality in your reviews are top notch. It really showed the controversy of the colors well. It does stand out, but not enough to not want to get this statue. If I had the space I would definitely get it. Can’t wait to see this guy in your X-Men display.

    Yeah, people don't realize that being Egyptian, Apocalypse would have used indigo in his armor for blue, so that makes sense. As you mentioned indigo can appear more blue or more violet, depending on various factors, including the concentration of the paint. Another reviewer displayed the statue utside and it looked very blue, not purplish. I like the purplish tint, which means I should get the colored Archangel to make that blue pop. The coloring also depends on the concentration of the paint when mixed.
    I should add, I dyed my hair purple last year, and half of it turned blue instead of purple, so that BIV range is a little unpredictable sometimes.

    • @bluscorpion
      @bluscorpion 2 роки тому

      I missed that the prototype was a different blue. Even better to know, that prototype looked a little too bland. There was a photo with it next to the black Archangel, and you could barely see the blue. This was definitely a better artistic choice. People complaining now would be complaining years later when the color fades and loses it's pop. No artist wants to put that into the world.

    Your statue video reviews are the gold standard,I know there maybe much more and older and experienced statue youtubers,but the quality and presentation of yours is second to none.This is what xm is for,a premium 1/4 statue with choke full of details,I don't care much for the color controversy,my one gripe is only with the pose,it looks stupid from certain angles and almost all licensed apocalypse statues have this pose,could have had a better pose.

    • @DTsGEEKSHOW
      @DTsGEEKSHOW  2 роки тому +1

    It looks like he might be wobbling back and forth? I had a similar issue with Thanos, and XM had to send me a replacement. It usually wouldn't bother me, but on a $2,000, 60 lb statue, it made me extremely uncomfortable.

    Great review and amazing statue ❗❗❗
    I like everything except one-two things:
    The color of the lips: too bright for me and it looks like a transgender queen....unfortunately.
    I wish for more lips realistic color ....same gama,but not so bright.
    The second thing....I know, I know !
    Those cables are part of Apokalypse, BUT for me personally it's hilarious and it doesn't work with the statue.
    Alien technologies and....cables ?!
    C'mon, even we,the humans barely using cables nowadays even without alien technologies.
    Also esthetically I think, that without those cables that statue will look a lot better in every way.
    Of course again everything is just my personal opinion !
    Thumbs up 👍 and Thank you ❗

    I honestly don't think the indigo looks THAT bad. It seems like an accent color to me, and don't these kinds of things usually have some artists' interpretation to them? Personally, I wouldn't have picked indigo; rather, I would've foregone an accent color and just painted them blue or silver, but thats just me.

    • @DTsGEEKSHOW
      @DTsGEEKSHOW  2 роки тому +1

      It doesn't look terrible. Like so many things in the art world, it comes down to personal preference and tastes. For me, I would have preferred maybe a shade or two off of the lighter blue just to keep the accent a bit more subdued.

      It's not a crime at all. However, many collectors prefer to have certain details carry over from the source material. Color is one of those things that is easily recognizable and one of the easier things to match. Like you said, it's a cool piece regardless.
