Star Brand Actually, to be consistent with the science of Ice Mans ice “power,” the sentinel’s hand becoming transparent upon being frozen by Ice Man is no different than Bobby Drake himself turning transparent when he activated his “power.” So you’re telling me that the sculpture of Ice Man should be a naked man and all of his body being visible, just as you say the sentinel’s hand should be? Considering that, it is not just “lazy design” by the artist, because nothing is more annoying than inconsistency... Just saying...
@@mathewzuniga1760 Excellent point. I've never considered that before and it warrants further investigation. I understand that Iceman changes his own molecular structure, but was unsure if he achieved the same effect in targeted objects.
I don't think it was lazy design, but I do think it was a bad design choice. But I do agree with Star Brand.. I'd rather have a "more" metal hand than an ice Sentinel hand. Then again, I could be wrong, and it was lazy. Gem does bring up a good point that it would have been more work to have two bases instead of one base.
Bro that sucks with the damages, BUT this statue is probably the most ambitious one I’ve ever seen. It’s insane. Trust me no one could tell about the damages unless they look real hard. It is sick beyond sick.
At first glance, the statue is really impressive, but a more detailed examination reveals too many shortcomings and this is very disappointing. Price and quality in this case are not equal. Thanks for the interesting review !!! #phase1giveaway
The bigger/more expensive the pieces, the less forgivable the mistakes like those. This is why your channel is my first stop before I make a purchase. Great review.
Honestly i dont like it at all, the whole transparency thing is awful, id prefer a blueish half transparent look way more, also ALLthese broken pieces and the missing/awful connection points are a no go, if u pay almost the same price for shipping as for the piece itself i expect that it is delivered in mint condition without broken pieces and especially with connection spots that actually fit ( Arms are awful)
@@bendover2684 in germany it is..if i pay that much shipping here the package has insurance and if the goods are delivered broken the company that delivered the goods have to cover the cost...thats what these high shipping fees are for otherwise i could shove the whole thing loose into a box...and take the cheapest crap transporter

@@Ultras14100 hat mehrere gründe er ist kein fan von dem weiss transparenten look , wie man gesehen hat waren sehr viele teile abgebrochen und ausserdem sind einige teile locker bzw passen nicht 100% zusammen wie zb die arme da sind lücken an den ansätzen.ausserdem war bei den conzept zeichnungen die hand von dem sentinel die in der eisbasis ist noch in metall farben und hier ist sie durchsichtig was wenig sinn macht wenn iceman was einfriert wird es ja nicht automatisch zu eis sondern friert nur ein.. das sind so die grössten problem punkte
I feel like it would make more sense if the hand was painted and then there was a coat of clear resin over it to make it look like it was covered with solid ice
Punk Rock Vixen how does it not make sense, but ice man being human and becoming transparent makes sense to you? Either both are frozen and transparent or both are painted and coated with a clear resin, because that would keep it consistent... just saying...
Mathew Zuniga yea do that to both. Or maybe have the idea that I’ve man is made of ice where as the hand has been COATED in ice. There’s a difference there...just saying....
@@squalltheonly nah, while it could happen at the factory majority of it happened in shipping. Quit being dumb, you know like everyone else knows it happens in shipping.
@@hmoobgvp yeah, of course. But why does it happen during shipping? Cuz of the shitty packaging. They use foam, inside a cardboard box. The box itself will warp as as you lift it or move it, thus making the foam move and warp as well, thus moving the pieces out of place, thus breaking them. This thing should had been shipped in the same foam, but then add a thick layer of padding around the walls so the foam doesn't move, and then ship it in a fucking wooden box.
@@squalltheonly it can happen because carriers are using pallet jacks which aren't exactly a delicate tools, people lifting and pushing it not so delicately, offloaded and reloaded onto several vehicles, on a truck with a hard ass suspension bouncing around the back. I mean come on dude, foaming can only do so much. The design of the piece and how it was broken down for shipping has more to do with it than improper foaming
Absolutely brilliant video. Truly honest and that came through strong. And THATS why we're here. Because you're a genuine dude. No fake shit. This is incredibly refreshing. Keep 'em coming!
damn gem really upset about this piece, rightfully so. When you are paying so much for a piece/shipping it should come in perfect condition and as advertised.
It's a shame he got kicked from the group but I'm glad he stuck his neck out for other people buying. These are legitimate complaints that a buyer spending over 2K should know. He just earned a subscriber.
I think the plastic being translucent instead of professionaly painted makes it look cheap, like it was made from those plastic crystals from Hobby Lobby.

Definitely has the potential to be one of the coolest statues out there, just gotta figure out how make it more durable. Love the content though, very cool to see!
As someone that stumbled across this video, has no interest in models, and this is the first video like this I've seen even I can say that this model is pretty craptacular. The joints and seems all look bad, the metal bar through the ice ramp seems WAY over engineered and heavy duty for a non-playable figure, the unpainted hand _doesn't even make any sense_, the caulk band-aid fix looks like trash...over all this is hoorible for the money. And that SHIPPING...good God what did they use overnight delivery? No way something like this should have been $900 to ship!!! That's like a 3rd the over all price!
Logical Reason the unpainted hand does make sense, because how does ice man being transparent make sense to you if the transparent hand doesn’t? It’s no different... should ice man be painted and his body be visible? The sculpt is just being consistent, obviously you’ve never read any comics or seen any of the cartoons and seen how ice mans power works and how objects and environments act upon him freezing things... just saying...
@@mathewzuniga1760 If you look at the sculpt again, you can see ice man's body is translucent, meaning not fully transparent but you can still see color and shape that is behind him, but his arms for some reason are a little more opaque. Not a huge concern but still noteworthy as inconsistency in this piece. The biggest problem is that the portion of sentinel hand that is covered in ice is pretty much 100% opaque. This makes no sense, and is not consistent with how ice man is sculpted. You should be able to see some sentinel hand color (blue based on the 3d renders) through that ice, but this is not the case. Even the ice crystals that are not frosted should be translucent like ice man, but are not. And sure ice man in comics is snow-white, and his ice powers in comics turn people snow-white. But I believe this piece is supposed to be more of a realistic sculpt, and therefore should have more in common with live action movie ice man, who is shown as being translucent/transparent. Ultimately it comes down to aesthetics, and the 3d renders look way better than the actual piece imo.
Dude as soon as I seen those broken pieces everything would have been putting right back into the box and sent right back to where I got it from... smh
He literally said that the dude that was selling it warned him and everyone that there’s going to be a lot of broken pieces and asked if they want to back out
From were I’m sitting it’s a gorgeous piece. Choosing to see some of the issues as damage during battle is better than dwelling on the problems. #phase1giveaway
The one thing my eyes keep getting drawn to are Iceman's arms ... That different shade of transparency would REALLY bother me, and it looks like they were made at a totally different place with a totally different resin mix.
GREETINGS TO ALL!!!! What a beautifully wonderful statue .... it felt cold in your hands, I was very surprised, it has a lot of quality, I want to have it, very magnificent and incredible ... I was left with the open mouth of the wondering I was to see it .. Thank you very much for the very cool and full cold video in the best ice man style ... until a next video ... bye...Monster!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Happened upon your channel from the 1up arcade cabinets. I stayed because of this review. It is so honest. I knew I could trust your honest opinion. Love the vids, man. 🙏🤘🖖✌️✌️
Man. If the sentinel hand palm wasn’t translucent, the piece would have been MUCH cooler looking. That and Icemans arms are a different shade, that’s rough. I agree with you, the ice being white with some baby blue highlights would have been sick. Sorry for the loss man, I know the feeling in the pit of your stomach when something you e looked forward to so much turns out to be a disappointment.
Damn such a shame you had so many issues with the statue. It looked really impressive on instagram but once i saw the issues and price tag that blows. Definitely should of kept the sentinels hand colored. Glad you were able to sell it forward though and recuperate as much as possible. #phase1giveaway
I like this video and plus the statue you revealed cool with Iceman nice I love it and I hope you and all your loving family members are having a wonderful day and night thank you so much for what you do for all the statues and figurines you show off
Man, as a collector myself it breaks my heart to see you that disappointed :( but all your points are solid - imo this piece was just way too ambitious! Keep up the great work! 👌
This is why I never got into customs I've bought 2 after market and still have them but id never join a customs group and pay that kind of money not knowing what the results would be
Appreciate the review ..it’s a lot of money to purchase .. impossible to ship and expect not broken .. big pieces and small fragile ones ..love how even broken he acted kool
Man I found this video when it first blew up 2 years ago, and I rewatch it whenever it pops back up in my feed. As a former One Piece and Naruto statue collector, I can confidently say this is one of the most ambitious statues made in this hobby to date. The sheer level of detail is amazing, but the manufacturing ruins it. I'd honestly consider buying one if I had the room. The breakages suck, but nothing is worse than globs of glue and miscast parts.
Really cool literally ! But I'd be pissed with the damage after the great care they took with the packing .must have been thrown about abit in the shipping and the fact bits don't fit is a factory fault which for that price is really bad
Such a shame about those broken pieces.. and i agree with you about the sentinal hand, for such an expensive piece if felt kind of lazy. Still looks amazing though. #Phase1Giveaway
My brother is genuinely bummed out. Toughest episode to watch yet sheesh. You make some incredible content all for us mate, we thank you even for these old heartbreakers xD
Statue collecting is one of those hobbies i dont want to get into because its too expensive but at the same time tempted as fuck because of how cool they all look
Always thought Iceman was an underrated character. That statue is dope, if only it was made better. On a side note: I never knew shipping was so expensive. #phase1giveaway
Man what could have been. Amazing concept, terrible execution... such a shame... i mean it looks good from a distance but for 3Gs you dont want it coming messed up like that. #phase1giveaway
Close to $3,000 and they send you this broken, crappy statue? I'd be demanding a refund. That is a bait and switch, when you compare it to the concept art. They cheaped out and stole everyone's money. There's a reason he hasn't done a licensed piece...
i actually stopped buying and collecting statues from 20 years,today i do restoration for collector and some customs.. The problem when collecting is finding enough storage for statue and boxes,the eternal problem with the dust and the broken parts when the statue were new out of the box or with some domestical accidents.. I can only be very respectuf with courageous collectors with these monsters scale statue,congratulations guys !
@@bobross4305 ok I'll explain the joke to you then. Those people just throw words like racist and homophobe around at anyone. Even when most of the time it's not applicable. Like here. Nothing he said was remotely racist. But i called him a racist anyway cause that's what they do.
That looks like a nightmare. I was nervous as shit just watching you put it together hoping it doesn’t break. I couldn’t own this. Great review! Thanks!
The transparent palm is an absolute killer. The idea that frozen steel would become instantly transparent (while conveniently stopping at the base of the fingers) is just ridiculous, aside from being visually jarring.
I really appreciate you being honest with this review. This really hits me in the feels. Thanks for reviewing. Sorry about the piece brotha. Hope this helps a lot of people with their purchasing
For the money you spent on this thing, there are no such things as "nit picks." Any problems are legit complaints.
For that much he could've saved it for a car or something
exactly you hire a fabricator to make a car you want what you payed and negotiated for
OrioN CreeD ey that’s true!
How much did he spend
4 grand is a pretty good down payment.
the whole piece is gonna turn yellow for sure in 5 years max
His name will be pee man

For the amount you probably paid ANY breakage would be a deal breaker for me.

Beautiful, but bad design. The frozen Sentinel's hand should not be clear. You should still see the metal under the ice.

Yea what they should have done is have the Sentinel hand under the clear coat so you could see thru to the Sentinel hand inside.

Dakoit Cave I agree it’s dope and he’s nit picking. Compared to other iceman or X-men statues this things rad
I think some of the ice shards being broken adds more realism because they not all going to be perfect
Definitely agree!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s so fucking dope, it’s fucking great
I just have a question, where do you go to get customs like this? Not that I can afford them, just curious

Such a shame about those broken pieces.. and i agree with you about the sentinal hand, for such an expensive piece if felt kind of lazy. Still looks amazing though.

Dude it’s still so sick, it’s one of those pieces that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible
My brother is genuinely bummed out. Toughest episode to watch yet sheesh. You make some incredible content all for us mate, we thank you even for these old heartbreakers xD
It took me about twelve minutes for me to realize this isn't real ice
Yeah me too I thought it was ice since he said he got the AC fired up
Then you should read books instead of watching UA-cam clips

@@tenletters5889 He's calling you dumb dude
Ten Letters you kinda just proved his point by not getting that
This is just too much of a good thing and it couldn’t handle itself
One word on the breakages and loose arms--epoxy.
I have a better word..."return".
who the Hell buys epoxy for a statue that costs over 2k after shipping?!LMAO!
This statue is so incredible! Wow!
Hello, ! 👋🎊Thanks for watching::You have been shortlisted for the ongoing secret giveaway🎁🎁 contact address above on telegram, ❤️💯🏆, Thank you!
Statue collecting is one of those hobbies i dont want to get into because its too expensive but at the same time tempted as fuck because of how cool they all look
Always thought Iceman was an underrated character. That statue is dope, if only it was made better. On a side note: I never knew shipping was so expensive. #phase1giveaway
GucciGodzilla 91 I work in shipping and man I’ll tell you, it can get really expensive. So much of what we ship is more expensive the item itself.
Not to get to nerdy but hes an omega mutant
Man what could have been. Amazing concept, terrible execution... such a shame... i mean it looks good from a distance but for 3Gs you dont want it coming messed up like that.

Close to $3,000 and they send you this broken, crappy statue? I'd be demanding a refund. That is a bait and switch, when you compare it to the concept art.
They cheaped out and stole everyone's money.
There's a reason he hasn't done a licensed piece...
Wow! great looking statue.
Watching this for the 2nd time 2 years later. That thing still looks amazing. Sorry you didn't like it.
i actually stopped buying and collecting statues from 20 years,today i do restoration for collector and some customs..
The problem when collecting is finding enough storage for statue and boxes,the eternal problem with the dust and the broken parts when the statue were new out of the box or with some domestical accidents..
I can only be very respectuf with courageous collectors with these monsters scale statue,congratulations guys !
Was anyone else like, did I click on the right video when he pulled out that first sentinel finger? Lol 😳🍆😳
A shame it has such issues. Really thought the concept was something special. #phase1giveaway
Imagine the trouble of the one who designed and built it, I'd still be proud of it though, awesome statue still!
Respect to you for staying honest with your reviews 👌
Thanks for sharing your piece here. I’ve never seen something like this
The real question is it the gay Bobby Drake or the straight one, lol?
Sean Green hmm
You're a racist!!! And a homophobe!!! And... eh... Whatever other shit we're supposed to say now because you made a joke involving the lgbt crowd.
People been making jokes about Iceman being gay for years, but as soon as Marvel made him gay, everybody got mad lol
@@jimbobjunior. when did gay become a race?
@@bobross4305 ok I'll explain the joke to you then. Those people just throw words like racist and homophobe around at anyone. Even when most of the time it's not applicable. Like here. Nothing he said was remotely racist. But i called him a racist anyway cause that's what they do.
That caulking material stuff makes it look like Iceman's slide already broke off and it's had a home repair. What a damn shame. :(

Way too big and bland, a big miss! Don't like to see you disappointed man, send It back!
Great Honest Video! Much respect for what you do on your channel!
That looks like a nightmare. I was nervous as shit just watching you put it together hoping it doesn’t break. I couldn’t own this. Great review! Thanks!
The scale seems really off, Ice man should be smaller.
This piece actually sucks :(
Sorry man this statue is to much frustration and extremely uncomfortable to display, not worth it at all , is big headache, to me , pass
alex p you cant even get into this group anyways. So dont worry
I didn't know he was offering to see it to you.
Skeebeep Boopeepeep you didn’t get the message
@@alexpaar2708 What I'm saying is you can't buy it anyways.
Skeebeep Boopeepeep I know no hard feelings
The transparent palm is an absolute killer. The idea that frozen steel would become instantly transparent (while conveniently stopping at the base of the fingers) is just ridiculous, aside from being visually jarring.
I came back to this video 2 years later. Ambitious and still cool even a little bust. Love this!
who cares bro
Hella epic and awe inspiring makes me wanna try sculpting again thanx for the motivation man 👍👍👍
This is very educational, this piece definitely pushes the boundaries
Love Iceman...the Statue looks Beautiful...👍👍🤘
A shame about it's flaws, but that is a badass statue.
I really appreciate you being honest with this review. This really hits me in the feels. Thanks for reviewing. Sorry about the piece brotha. Hope this helps a lot of people with their purchasing
