I never really looked at having a favorite female superhero, but if I had to pick it would be STORM, she is a badass character, her power is cool and she lead the X-MEN for many years...hell, she even led the team for a while in the '80s without any powers. I admit I never really followed up on her marriage to T'CHALLA, but nonetheless she is a badass. Thumbs up to the Kardashian sized booty on the statue.
Damn! Storm is THICK! Haha!!! But seriously though, love the unboxing Gem Mint. Congrats on another amazing piece. Your statue game is fierce! And by the way, that alternate pose is where it's at.
Yessss, Storm! Classic X-men Like that 90's Jubilee and now this absolutely beautiful 90's Storm! Those Bases are Insanely Dope😜 Can't wait to see what you show us next😎💎 Keep being awesome👍🏾Peace
Me too! I only discovered them today by accident. 😢 I would've loved to have been able to purchase this, as Storm is my favorite superhero and the 90's Jim Lee design is my favorite look.
Hey Gem Mint, love the channel. I love how you’re so invested and caring of all these statues and books that you read. I would love to have a setup like yours but I would like to ask, do you know any websites or companies that create commission based statues? I would love a superboy prime statue and can’t find one anywhere so was curious if there’s a company that does commissions.
Really wanted to get this statue because there are not a lot of of solid black superhero statues. However, for me, the flaws are unacceptable. Come on XM!
I'll be looking to swing one piece a year, you're balling. I love your room displays. Serious collection. Bro, and that omnibus collection, 🤤. Hope they take care of you right with that broken piece.
@@Gggeeoorrggee is that also called "nunya?" As in, nunya business? >_> :) P.S. I somehow lost my list of rules. If you happen to think of any others, I'd much appreciate it. 🤙
Not a bad looking statue. Can't say I am much of a fan for the first position you had her in. Unless the statue is way down low you don't really get to see the face sculpt at all. The second position would be my preference. To me you get the best view and the most presence
This was a year ago, I think since I have read that there are many statues that had significant "lean" I loved the concept, but the design/engineering seems to have been lax.
She was his wife, ofcourse, there's even a few panels in his book where they're having sex ! Well you don't see everything but they had sex right after their wedding, and they had sex in a couch after a little play fight and its implied they had sex on the beach while on their honeymoon. Oh and they had sex right after Black Panther proposed on his panther plane lmaooooo. They had lots of sex ! Oh, not to mention he took Storm's virginity when they were young teens when Storm was just a street urchin and he was a prince on his walk about. They were each other's first love.
@Ryan Stewart Says you as well... Maybe that's true but some of us want her with long hair... it's a little boring that everywhere you see Storm has this "style"... GAMES, MOVIES, ETC... that's enough... not everyone likes it. We want some LONG HAIR.. she's more gorgeous that way.
@Ryan Stewart We just said our oppinion, you're the one OVERREACTING and taking it way too far... no one is saying she looks bad with a mohawk... But everybody use that tough look... games, movies, etc., it would be nice to see Storm with long hair once in a while.
yo you finally get your warehouse arrival/payment info email from Sideshow about your Prime1 Venom? me and number of others had, cant wait to get that beast
Hey gem,that statue storm looks freaking awesome!.wonder if they made an X-23 or a spider-gwen edition.i really enjoyed this video and watching you put together storm, again she looks awesome!
@@GemMintCollectiblesok that great and thank you.i wonder how XM studios will make a X-23 statue, just wondering excites me as an X-23 fan and a fan of XM studios aswell !
I like randomly finding videos like this on UA-cam. Seeing this guy on the street I would never have guessed he was a cool nerdy collector type. Also. Storm yelling a nature is everything! Beautiful statue. The details in the costume are great.
They didnt do this statue justice as a result of the obvious seam in the base as well as the neckline. To make amends XM have to do an awesome Bishop and/or Nick Fury (black version).
I don't know how much I like it personally. I mean, it is very well done. It definitely took some skill and it shows. And maybe it's just me. I just feel like it's very bland and could have been more "BAM!". Like a lightening bolt or something. I think it's a little more color. A yellow bolt going through her hand would've been cool IMO. I think it would've helped express the movement better or more. Great video regardless! :)
What up Gem!?! I dig that staute Sir, that is a awesome looking addition for your X-Men collection. Thanks for the review & always keep up the great work!
Very nice. I want stuff like this, if I was rich. Which I'm not. Reasoning being. Obviously you can afford more. but also you can afford the space. I picture a whole garage gym is build and it would have comic stuff all in as well as kidrobit toys bearbrick. That's my dream rich gym that I will never make it too.
Dear XM Studios, Please set my dude up with number 420 of 420 in exchange for the broken hair one he received. He always has great things to say about you guys. Sincerely, Some other dude
the fact a lot of xm pieces are made out of cold cast porcelain is why I'm preventing myself from buying one, it's just so incredibly fragile. Incredible looking statue though.
@@iwillbuyitman1 Yea it's not a deal killer. Still can't wait for her. They probably should have had the neck as part of the body pieces. But that whirlwind seam is just unnecessary. But again, still eager to get it.
Amazing looking statue, this will go well with the XM Studios white Magneto , since these two statues have the same colour of outfits and will complement each other well. Good review.
I loved this piece even with you slight Flaws. Sorry about the brake in the one portrait I know you were bummed about it I know I would have been. Great piece to add to the collection.
Congratulations bro sad to see a fine ass statue and I mean asssss had a small flaw with that gap and the hair piece broken off but in all it's perfect for me👍👍👍
Oh man, it always sucks if something comes broken. Sorry for you buddy. Got my Prime 1 Dark Knight Returns yesterday and it came with a broken off left foot.
Congrats on the statue bvery nice.. sorry about the brakes..you take it alot better than I would..are you going to ask for a replacement head?...btw are you planning on getting the XM Omega Red?
I love that costume from the 90's cartoon. Best look for Storm in my opinion. Great statue Gem! Any X-Men that you'd like to see get a statue treatment that haven't yet?
i like this style on how you do the unboxing and set up....need a collection vid man!! also what do you do when it comes broken like that, do you send everything back?!?
you can call xm to get it fix, i call xm when i got my ivy with damaged leg..they actually get it fix in 2 weeks and send it back to me :) very good customer service, so far.
I think her skin tone is perfect here...not light like Halle Berry...I hate the way they portray her as a lot lighter in the movies
XM needs to make a Nightcrawler statue.

Omg I need this Storm is my ultimate superhero! She really deserves her own movie!!! 🌬💨🌪⛈⚡️

The X-men are my favorite marvel team
ua-cam.com/video/CgDY_kze-fg/v-deo.html
She looks so beautiful I love it so much!
Everytime I see a broken piece? I cry inside. Shit sucks, but this statue looks great
Yessss, Storm! Classic X-men
Like that 90's Jubilee and now this absolutely beautiful 90's Storm!
Those Bases are Insanely Dope😜
Can't wait to see what you show us next😎💎
Keep being awesome👍🏾Peace
dayyummm they did that piece, her power just screams in the statue. kudos for keeping your cool on the broken hair
Rough stretch with these breaks dude, don't settle man get dem replacements!
DAM! I wished I had heard of this company before. That is an epic storm statue
Me too! I only discovered them today by accident. 😢 I would've loved to have been able to purchase this, as Storm is my favorite superhero and the 90's Jim Lee design is my favorite look.
@@Termite30 you guys can still find this statue on eBay, collectible comic book online shops. I want it.
Nice. Love the white costume. Hair is on point. Good stuff. I'd use the 2nd cape.
You're right - gotta have the whited out eyes.
Un-stormy Storm and stormy Storm. Beautiful either way! I think I prefer stormy Storm. Thorough review!
Bruh how can you thumbs down this?! All these x men statues have been on point.
50 shades of grey? SMH Gem. She looks good despite the issues.
LOL
This is indeed a kick-ass piece Gem, thanks for sharing! 👊🏼🤘🏼
Dope ass piece. Best looking Storm statue out here. Congrats Gem.

Damn bro your on a roll with these xm pieces....congrats
Really wanted to get this statue because there are not a lot of of solid black superhero statues. However, for me, the flaws are unacceptable. Come on XM!
Great unboxing!! She totally looks bad ass I got to say she is probably one of my favorite statues you’ve unboxed to date
Storm is gorgeous!
Absolutely Gorgeous! Huge too!
I'll be looking to swing one piece a year, you're balling. I love your room displays. Serious collection. Bro, and that omnibus collection, 🤤. Hope they take care of you right with that broken piece.
Bro...how are you able to afford all these statue --- you must have paid over 100K in statues and comics by now
Stan Wilson union job I’m assuming probably wrong though
Never count another mans money, rule #14
Notice how some statues in his old videos aren't their anymore
@@Gggeeoorrggee is that also called "nunya?" As in, nunya business?
>_> :)
P.S. I somehow lost my list of rules. If you happen to think of any others, I'd much appreciate it. 🤙
Congratulations Gem! I have her coming in next week! Sorry to hear about the broken pieces, I'm sure xm will take care of it for you.
Sweet ass piece! but damn those seams doe. Congrats on it though, looks hella nice!

This was a year ago, I think since I have read that there are many statues that had significant "lean" I loved the concept, but the design/engineering seems to have been lax.
Overall not a bad statue the seams would drive me crazy though I’ll probably have to pass
She's my favorite. She's a Goddess and a Queen. Reminds me of Beyoncé somehow haha
As you were assembling the statue, I kept hearing Storm’s speeches from the show! She looks f*cking amazing!
I kept hearing "I call upon the power of the hurricane!"
Dem seams tho. But I like her. She had relations with Black Panther??? 😱
She was his wife, ofcourse, there's even a few panels in his book where they're having sex ! Well you don't see everything but they had sex right after their wedding, and they had sex in a couch after a little play fight and its implied they had sex on the beach while on their honeymoon.

Pretty legit. I likes me some Mohawk Munroe, but this is a rad piece.
Mohawk? Nope.. One of her worst looks!
👌🏼

yo you finally get your warehouse arrival/payment info email from Sideshow about your Prime1 Venom? me and number of others had, cant wait to get that beast
EdDude I did!
hell yea congrats!
Foam > Styrofoam = No breaks
Man she looks sweet I would love a video of all ur statues lol
Sexy ass statue right there, Happy New Year brother!
Yassssssss! Come through Storm! Love it! 💖
Yo gem, I really think XM should kick you down with a complementary custom switch out camel toe for storm. Because of that broken piece.
I love the thumbnail! Lol
I thought I was going to regret this, but looking back on the neck(collar bone) seam would have bothered me to no end.
Hey gem,that statue storm looks freaking awesome!.wonder if they made an X-23 or a spider-gwen edition.i really enjoyed this video and watching you put together storm, again she looks awesome!
XM made a Spider-Gwen, no X23 from them yet though

I REALY LOVE THIS ONE
Happy holidays. Congratulations on getting STORM. Really hope that you get a replacement. Way to many videos showing breaks.
That big chunk of hair being snapped like that was depressing for me lol amazing sculpt otherwise tho
the fact a lot of xm pieces are made out of cold cast porcelain is why I'm preventing myself from buying one, it's just so incredibly fragile. Incredible looking statue though.
Best Storm around. wouldn't be surprised if XM outdoes SS Rouge at some point. They're straight killing it. #3Ktogo
Damn wth is up with those seams....
It's obly cause of white colors im thinking if this was black costume you wouldnt b able to see them so white is hard to pull off
@@iwillbuyitman1 Yea it's not a deal killer. Still can't wait for her. They probably should have had the neck as part of the body pieces. But that whirlwind seam is just unnecessary. But again, still eager to get it.
Very awesome piece, but I’m surprised they didn’t try to hide those seams a little more. Still Dope though. Sucks about the broken piece.
Amazing looking statue, this will go well with the XM Studios white Magneto , since these two statues have the same colour of outfits and will complement each other well. Good review.
I loved this piece even with you slight Flaws. Sorry about the brake in the one portrait I know you were bummed about it I know I would have been. Great piece to add to the collection.
Feeling that base. Looks sick. Great content and very informative. Great job bro. Keep up the great work
Great piece to add to your X-wall sucks about that tiny break but I'm sure you'll figure something out on the best portrait to.
Hey Gem Mint Collectibles! Great video!! Wondering if there are any recs on how to locate this piece, can’t seem to find : /
Yo anyone binge watching Gem Mint Collectibles? This is my dude lol... Gem mint let me get a reply!
Thanks again Gem for the review. Enjoy your new addition to your collection.
They should have made the seems diffrent with a costum disign, you will never notice it than. But could be the white colour.
I love you mate! I'm about to box up my Storm and this video helped me a lot to figure out where all those foam pieces go! Cheers bro!
This statue is gorgeous! I saw some glue though so what did you end up using it for? And did they replace the head for you since the hair broke
the face looks wrong too european too Famke Janssen, amazing sculpt still though.
Congratulations bro sad to see a fine ass statue and I mean asssss had a small flaw with that gap and the hair piece broken off but in all it's perfect for me👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing!!! Still waiting on mine! Love her!
is it freaky when you find out the address on the box is pretty much right next to where you live???
Broken another one this year . Great video 💎💪
Mark Milton lol I didn’t break shit
That wrote wrong lol sorry Gem 💎 💪 another breakage should have been put
Oh man, it always sucks if something comes broken. Sorry for you buddy. Got my Prime 1 Dark Knight Returns yesterday and it came with a broken off left foot.
Slash sorry to hear that
Rocking bod, no not you gem. LOL Thx for the video and have a great day.
Comic Guy lol ok now that was funny
Congrats on the statue bvery nice.. sorry about the brakes..you take it alot better than I would..are you going to ask for a replacement head?...btw are you planning on getting the XM Omega Red?
alberto yea I reached out to see about a replacement. I have a fan art omega red coming... but still order XM OR to compare and then maybe sell one.
Jeez, that's a big ass box. Sorry to hear you had issues with it. Great video.
Damn first punisher broken and now storm. She did look good tho
literally no knowledge about figurines but your vids are great!
Idk man the base kinda reminds me of a clay vase sculpting disaster
Congratulations dude she's awesome
I like this piece a lot better than I thought I would. Awesome statue!
Nice review and excellent piece! Where did you buy it from? I just started collecting larger figures and XM Studios don't sell Marvel in NA. Thanks!
this one is out of stock but you can buy XM pieces from our online store at www.gemmintcollectibles.com
do they traditionally sculpt these statues or use z brush sculpting program? she looks awesome!
most modern pieces are zbrush now
I love that costume from the 90's cartoon. Best look for Storm in my opinion. Great statue Gem! Any X-Men that you'd like to see get a statue treatment that haven't yet?
MrMulligan84 nightcrawler
Another awesome review for another awesome piece
i like the second portrait better cause she looks serious and bad ass looking.
where did you purchase XM Studio storm from?
Great review! Can't wait to get mine in!
Hey Gem I was really eyeing the black suit Spider-Man to your left. Where and how much did you get it for. I really want it😞😞😞
i got it off the facebook groups
Gem, my friend got her. He saw your video. He said u have to readjust her head. Seems the cape and head have to be put a certain way to be flush.
rapture724 yea on the one head... it was already touching the cape, had me nervous
123 out of 420...................Eyyyyyyy
An awesome statue! Great unboxing video
How do you order these XM statues in USA, can find any order info on site, are you buying off ebay?
maddog05647 no, I have a contact in Singapore that I get them through
You know what sucks? That you are gonna have to pay for that replacement and shipping from XM
Bronx Collections really?
@@GemMintCollectibles yup, I had to pay for 2 different statue replacements. 1 for Dr strange and 1 for Winter soldier
@@BronxCollections Unfortunately, that makes sense given they're not licensed in the U.S.
i like this style on how you do the unboxing and set up....need a collection vid man!! also what do you do when it comes broken like that, do you send everything back?!?
since it was just one of the heads, they should just be able to send another head
you can call xm to get it fix, i call xm when i got my ivy with damaged leg..they actually get it fix in 2 weeks and send it back to me :) very good customer service, so far.
XM is sending another portrait
Gemint....the art print , get Halle berrie to sign it ...
Great video per usual
