My first time seeing you overlay the statue as if it is sitting on your desk at least for the sideshow ones. Really like that..and it made me realize how the production value has gone up since you got in the game. Gem Mint maturing like a fine scotch!
I really enjoy watching your videos and I can appreciate your perspective on constantly refreshing your collection. I think that it keeps the hobby interesting and it provides a lot of interesting content for the channel. Seeing a preview of these figures in hand is great for novice collectors like myself. 😎👍
I'm glad that you are not stopping collecting statues altogether because I love your statue unboxing reviews as that's my favourite part of your channel, it's a shame that you had to sell your entire collection as you had a really nice collection going on there but as you said in your video you got bored and now you're ready to start from fresh, collecting new pieces.
You made the right choice dude, the moment you're no longer excited about your collection, that's when it's time to move on to new stuff. It's hard keeping motivated in this hobby at times, but you selling your stuff just means another collector is happy.
Gem Mint got rid of his whole statue collection?! That’s like Fred without Barney! It’s like cake without ice cream! Socks without shoes! TV without cable! I will agree that collecting takes up a lot of space. Inevitably, we’ll all have to scale down a bit. How many hours did you cry once the last one was out the door? I hope Mrs. Gem Mint consoled you a lot. Glad you’re in the game and glad you’re always going into detail on statues so that we can have amazing perspective! Love your channel.
I've always wanted to get into statues and the higher end collectibles but I can never take the dive and I love comics and books too much, everything from the artwork and storytelling to different formats and paper quality. Also love the editing of the statues on the desk, from a quick glance I actually thought you already had it!
The thing that kills us here in South Africa is the cost of importing the pieces. If it wasn't for that, my collection would have been almost double the size by now. Well done on all these amazing pre-orders!
I pre-ordered Sideshow Cable. Looking forward to it. I find that I prefer to have statues that are at least 20" and up. I used to like 1:6 scale, but it just looks weird at that size, or anything smaller. The Stan Lee statue is amazing. And the Colossus statue is beautiful.
Yo gem just wanna say I'm happy for u for using the old statues to get that car paid off. Im not in a position to be able to afford these statues so watching ur unboxings and reviews is so dope. I think we all have come to appreciate and expect the statue stuff from ur channel. Keep them coming man.
Happy to hear you aren’t quitting statues! Awesome preorders! Also, It’s really cool that you helped out those folks that got scammed, good looking out.
Great job editing Gem that was cool showing the set of Sideshow pieces. Never thought I’d see the day you bring in DC pieces to Gempire yes! I’m interested in seeing which ones you pick up. And hopefully the new Super Sons piece from P1 will make it there. A lot of good DC pieces coming our way
Awesome! A lot of statue goodness still to come! I wish you were still collecting busts cause I really want to see that Sideshow Venom bust. It's sick looking!
Yep, I'm still going through some of your older videos. Wow, sold everything. ALL good...gotta keep things interesting for 'YOURSELF'! Dang, you ordered a ton of new stuff too! Shipping this stuff and re-boxing it's gotta kill any mark-up. I'll assume your making a few bucks but man...I know shipping can costs a small fortune.
Glad u didn’t leave the statue game. Looking forward to those unboxing and reviews. Surprised u went with that SS Sabertooth over XM. As for DC, SS just released Poison Ivy and Batgirl coming out in Nov. For 1:4 scale, seems like the SS/P1 New52 lines only thing out unless u go custom. P1 and XM only ones really doing DC at this point it seems. XM with 1:6 and P1 with 1:3.
Damn! Shocked to hear you sold a lot of your statue, but I guess everyone has their limits as to how much they can afford 😝 Some of those custom pieces look sick! Love the psylocke, cyclops and omega red one! Excited that you’re finally going to be reviewing some DC figures! Really want to see that Prime1 Batman on Eagle cause I’m thinking of getting it. Waiting for ES to be announced though. Would also love to see you get the new Prime1 Bane figure or Prime1 Harley Quinn on skates figure!
I would love most of those statues u have on pre-order 👍🏻 I have the ss Punisher coming for me next. The ss Hulk & Juggernaut would be a dream for me, maybe some day. Out of your customs my favourite 2 are the brown Wolverine vs ninjas & Wolverine vs Maestro 👍🏻 Will be looking forward to every unboxing & review 💪🏻
Cool visual effects on some of the statues from the thumbnail i thought you had an actual Hulk statue on you're desk. The Stan Lee, statue on the other hand looks really nice Stan Lee, on throne he's well deserved to have a throne of his own for sure.
I know this video is over a year old but new to the game and playing catch up right now in information. Just was curious, when you say you pre-ordered the custom Brown Suit Wolverine does that mean it is made just for you and 1 of a kind or just extremely limited?
Jeff Calloway I unfortunately have to agree with you. I haven’t been on the channel in a while and this is kinda heart breaking to see what’s transpired since I used to be on this channel from day 1. He’s still great at unboxing videos. But man, it’s not the same anymore for me. No shade though.
With Endgame out, you would think they would have made more avengers prenium format tought... We are still missing an Iron Man, Hawkeye and a Hulk if you don't want to go trought the wwh one.
I'm new to your channel and I've been displaying my 1st appearances with Funko pops because these statues are expensive but I like your reviews and want some statues now. Was wondering if a Knull statue was in the works that you knew about? Thanks keep up the great work.
Can't wait for the SS Juggernaut. One of my most anticipated pieces, right along with the prime 1 LoBo. But the one I'm waiting for is the XM Ultron. A SERIOUS must have. I'm hoping to get that XM RedHulk also. Hopefully. 🤞🏾
You should send me that custom Cyclops Vs. Sentinal as a graduation gift. ;) Nah but for real that thing is awesome. I love the beams and the explosion as they exit the hand.
Juggernaugt for 1400 is a rip, I got Prime one Mr. freeze for same price. They put the lower edition size to make people tink its worth it but if you compare detail prime one wins everytime. Waiting for sideshow to sell for 800.
The switchable head Venom looks great! I'm assuming the head shown was the MacFarlane one - he actually looks like a mutated black suit Spidey, as he should! As much as I love Mark Bagley's art on ASM, he and Larsen exaggerated the monster features a little too much for my taste. Also, new Psylocke looks sexy!
Damn son, what happened to you? Where’s the love and passion for your statue collection? I could never part ways with the ones I own. No disrespect , but it just feels like now you’re about unboxing and flipping them. I know I haven’t been on the channel for some time, but I was stunned when I saw this. Always felt you’d never part ways with at least the ones that meant the most to you. I know space is a issue for us all, but damn. Still props on being great and detailed at unboxings.
i've always stated i don't really get attached to things...id rather sell it all and start a whole new collection. It gets boring for me to just have the same pieces forever
Cool video Gem. Hey I don’t know anything about statues, all I know is from this channel. But I remember this picture of Rogue lifting a sentinel head, it was a strong and powerful image that I thought was awesome. What ever happened to that? Is that still a thing?
You sold all of them ??? what are your goals now then ??? If you don’t mind me asking.... Plus stupid question but are you going to San Diego Comic Con in July ???...
I've always been super partial to the Harley Quinn Prime1 statue and the Shogun Batman from XM but damn are they expensive and more importantly big. No idea where I'd put them so I've had to do a pass on them
Looks like you got a lot on your plate If you change your mind about the phase 3 let me know I would love to take it off your hands and put it next to my phase 1 .. no lie bro!!!!

That Maestro & Old Man Logan statue looks deadly, looks like a scene ripped right of the comics 😮 Awesome video Gem 💎

The statues are the whole reason I subd to you guys, gem. Don’t stop. I love your reviews of them
not stopping

Lots of pre orders you got there Gem. 👍
Getting slick with the effects!
Hey, please don’t stop getting and unboxing statues. I look forward to the next one. 👍
Will do!

That Wolverine vs. ninjas base looks beastly! Holy...
The Harley Quinn in roller skates with the quarter pipe and the new freeze one would be awesome.
Happy to hear you aren’t quitting statues! Awesome preorders! Also, It’s really cool that you helped out those folks that got scammed, good looking out.
My man. Why this my new favorite page? Keep the content coming sir. 👊
thanks!
Thanks for sharing Gem your Pro- oders. I also PO that Gladiator Hulk. Love video concept awesome work. 👊👊👊
Ive seen all the other comic book channels and gem mint is overall the best there is!

lol definitely wasnt due to what i could or couldnt afford

Out of your customs my favourite 2 are the brown Wolverine vs ninjas & Wolverine vs Maestro 👍🏻

good to see you are still in the game Gem. Had me nervous bro. Best statue guy on the interwebs.
Excellent pre-orders !
Cool visual effects on some of the statues from the thumbnail i thought you had an actual Hulk statue on you're desk. The Stan Lee, statue on the other hand looks really nice Stan Lee, on throne he's well deserved to have a throne of his own for sure.
Dam Gem these statues look fantastic can’t wait for the reviews
That new Prime 1 Bane looks like your style.
Gem Mint, PLEASE help me get hold of the Franco Carlesimo Iceman Statue! I “Need” that for my X-Men collection. It is fantastic!! Thanks!
Those staues are so expensive. But they look so awesome. Great video. I love it.
I know this video is over a year old but new to the game and playing catch up right now in information. Just was curious, when you say you pre-ordered the custom Brown Suit Wolverine does that mean it is made just for you and 1 of a kind or just extremely limited?
Sooo wicked!!! Well done, sir! 👏😈
I can’t believe the price of these pieces. They are beautiful but so expensive.
Damn that iceman looks insane, how big is it?, cant wait to see that, Gem where do you sell your pieces at?
its huge...we'll figure it out when they come in...they are spaced far apart as far as release dates
Nice editing, the one character i'm sick of seeing is Cyclops in his 90's outfit. Someone needs to make the Cockrum/Byrne Cyclops outfit.
Great pre orders. I can't wait for that samurai wolverine review!
What would be a sick piece would be X-Men vs mastermode bout the size of the wolverine and ninja piece
Would be great to get links to these...
you r more a reseller than a collector 😛
I know right there is no real love for the owning and enjoying the collection. He's now just a flipper! BOOOO!
Jeff Calloway I unfortunately have to agree with you. I haven’t been on the channel in a while and this is kinda heart breaking to see what’s transpired since I used to be on this channel from day 1. He’s still great at unboxing videos. But man, it’s not the same anymore for me. No shade though.
Dude. Your editing skills are insane. Looks like it’s there with you lol
haha ikr...i got lucky with that. the pics already had transparent backgrounds
Yo that Stan Lee statue is a real thing? I thought it was just some fan art, oh man that'd look fucking incredible.
yea but fan art can be produced into a statue as well.
@@GemMintCollectibles oh man that's hot
No wonder u sold all your statues you got god damn 147 pre orders coming lmao 😂
Man i am so in love with that Custom Venom piece it is dope as shit.
With Endgame out, you would think they would have made more avengers prenium format tought... We are still missing an Iron Man, Hawkeye and a Hulk if you don't want to go trought the wwh one.
Get the iron studious Hawkman. I want it but too expensive right now.
I'm new to your channel and I've been displaying my 1st appearances with Funko pops because these statues are expensive but I like your reviews and want some statues now. Was wondering if a Knull statue was in the works that you knew about? Thanks keep up the great work.
only a custom/unlicensed one...would be hard to track down
Can't wait for the SS Juggernaut. One of my most anticipated pieces, right along with the prime 1 LoBo. But the one I'm waiting for is the XM Ultron. A SERIOUS must have. I'm hoping to get that XM RedHulk also. Hopefully. 🤞🏾
Dope video Gem! I wish you guys had a discord... Let's make it happen!
Damn brotha! You have some heat coming! Jealous 😭
Yes do more DC pieces clayface
Would love to see the P1 Bane and Lobo reviewed.
You should send me that custom Cyclops Vs. Sentinal as a graduation gift. ;) Nah but for real that thing is awesome. I love the beams and the explosion as they exit the hand.
Looking for DC statues, check out that Sideshow Green Arrow premium format Gem,... its looks tight!👍
it does
Where did you sell all of your statues?
Yeah Prime 1 has some nice Batman pieces. The Hush and Zero Year statues are stand outs.
Don’t collect statues, at least not the rich people ones but it was still fun to watch. The Stan Lee one is one I’d get though.
What do you mean by exclusive? Makes it sound like other companies/studios can also sell the statue w/o the exclusive add on
exclusive is a sideshow term, a statute that comes with an exclusive add on...you can only get the exclusive version if you buy directly from them
@@GemMintCollectibles ahh, thanks.
That Hulk piece is really great!! Can a hint of Mark Ruffalo's likeness be seen there? I think it can.
I really wanted the SS X-23 but I couldn't really afford shipping custom fee, etc.. Decided to get XM Cyclops instead..
Juggernaugt for 1400 is a rip, I got Prime one Mr. freeze for same price. They put the lower edition size to make people tink its worth it but if you compare detail prime one wins everytime. Waiting for sideshow to sell for 800.
The switchable head Venom looks great! I'm assuming the head shown was the MacFarlane one - he actually looks like a mutated black suit Spidey, as he should! As much as I love Mark Bagley's art on ASM, he and Larsen exaggerated the monster features a little too much for my taste.
Also, new Psylocke looks sexy!
Nice hair cut Gem ;)
Wld love to see a review on that new Bane from P1. Hopefully you scoop that up then raffle it so I can have a shot at it 😂😂😂
Lol I love joker
Damn son, what happened to you? Where’s the love and passion for your statue collection? I could never part ways with the ones I own. No disrespect , but it just feels like now you’re about unboxing and flipping them. I know I haven’t been on the channel for some time, but I was stunned when I saw this.

i've always stated i don't really get attached to things...id rather sell it all and start a whole new collection. It gets boring for me to just have the same pieces forever
Gem Mint Collectibles Did you keep any? Like 1 or 2 that survived or they all got betrayed and sold? Lol
@@ShadyDBZ4 yea got 6 now and like 30 on PO
Gem Mint Collectibles which ones did you keep?
It would be cool if that beast had mixed media hair
14:00
One of the *Best* or the *Best* Venom statue ever !!
What’s an edition size? I don’t really know about statue stuff
how many are made
Cool video Gem. Hey I don’t know anything about statues, all I know is from this channel. But I remember this picture of Rogue lifting a sentinel head, it was a strong and powerful image that I thought was awesome. What ever happened to that? Is that still a thing?
it is, but i sold my PO for it.
imma like this
~ STATUES BRING US TOGETHER ~
batman sanity would be a dope review piece
You sold all of them ??? what are your goals now then ??? If you don’t mind me asking.... Plus stupid question but are you going to San Diego Comic Con in July ???...
the goal is out with the old in with the new. i will be at SDCC.
I have Star-Lord on po as well. Couldn’t swing Rocket y Groot.
Sick wolverine renders Gem!
Any news on XM’s big hulk which I have seen from your video from San Diego comicon?
yea i have seen pics... they re did it somewhat
Oh, alright, thanks Gem, man, kick-ass gladiator hulk too, cant wait for your review on it! 👍🏼👌🏼
Those +$1k pieces, jeez I can't get how more mass=more cash (Cable looks awesome btw).
Yooo is that Psylocke preorder closed? Keep me in mind when/if you sell yours. Plz!
yea been closed out for a while
Man....I don’t think I could ever sell all of my stuff
I had pre-ordered that Spawn (1 of those that got scammed), but who is making it now to order it?
damn, sorry to hear that. We made them but we capped the edition size and it sold out.
@@GemMintCollectibles damn, wish I knew about it before this video
The price of these statues is so ridiculous.
1/3 scale hawkman from iron studios when that comes out and some youtube reviews go up ppl will be scrambling to get it
I hope you will review the XM Studios Dark Phoenix statue that just released. It's fire!
man I sold my PO for that
How can I get that Stan Lee?
I've always been super partial to the Harley Quinn Prime1 statue and the Shogun Batman from XM but damn are they expensive and more importantly big. No idea where I'd put them so I've had to do a pass on them
You should review the XM Aquaman statue.
Looks like you got a lot on your plate If you change your mind about the phase 3 let me know I would love to take it off your hands and put it next to my phase 1 .. no lie bro!!!!
Have you reviewed noir? Review that o e bro
It's truly great to see you stepping up for the people who got scammed because of that piece of sh*t Henry.
Try and get some green lantern pieces in. Also JSA recent reads?
At 300 for shipping I'd come pick up the statue myself.
Lobo!
Statue reup 👍
