What is a nerd? You mean liking comincs? Liking comics is about the trendiest thing you can do, really nothing nerdy about it since the 90s its been mainstream pop culture.
@@andrewut7ya511 Spending thousands of dollars on Superhero statues is about the nerdiest thing you could do. Nothing wrong with it, I think it's a sweet collection. But it is mega nerdy lol.
@@strikerfrost7222 i guess we have different definitions of nerd, nerd to me is someone who is into something obscure or unpopular, comics and superheroes are the trendiesst thing around, and commonly accepted as cool, therefore not nerdy. I dont think nerd is bad or good btw, just a silly word really
I find this debate interesting. If spending thousands of dollars on what would be considered popular art could be considered nerdy, then why don't we think of people who do the same with air Jordan's the same way. Seems like there is a double standard here based on common beliefs or ideologies in Culture and society. However tons of people collect. So technically if popularity is the basis as to what is nerdy this would technically be the furthest from the truth given it's current status with the vast majority of our population and it's very apparent massive success. I would consider nerd culture to be somewhat aloof of cultural norms on a number of levels. Meaning that while comics and heroes may have been considered nerdy to 1950'S patriarchal alpha male society... That generation no longer controls the social norms. However we are left with classical belief systems based upon how we were raised and how strongly those ideologies still resonate within our own family structure. Obviously this guy is very successful making these videos and has followed his passion and found a community of people who are interested in this sort of thing. Which is also a testament to the contents popularity. Plus the artists wouldn't take the time to make the molds if there wasn't a market that would buy. If it's cool to be nerdy then the thing is no longer nerdy I guess is what I'm getting at. I mean full grown men wear other men's Jersey from major teams and buy their clothing. But those players are popular so it's therefore cool to wear that. If common principle had gone the other direction those men might have been considered in love with other men and shuned by society especially if sports weren't popular enough for others to understand the attraction To representing a player on a sports team.
@Ted Wilson I see your point. But the point I'm making is that taboo is "an antiquated notion". Especially with the rise of social media it has become less of a solitary experience and the members of those communities are connecting. it's a stereotype on both ends whether the obsession is shoes vs statues. Even though times have changed people still say the same things from the generation that raised them as though they are still true. But that's not the case anymore.
I'm at a loss for words... I dont think I have any words that can explain how I feel about this piece, but its beyond phenomenal! Very many props to you and everyone one who rides with you because of you I've wanted to start collecting. CONGRATULATIONS MAN
One word to describe this behemoth is impressive.i have never seen a statue that's so incredibly detailed. Congrats on adding this beauty to ur collection.👍🏻👌🏻
I would like to get one of these, then a second mirrored version, then have them both in the entry way of my house on pedestals guarding my front door. That thing is badass!
For almost 5 years xm have rewritten the statue rule book! This is another piece that smashes the limitations in creative designs and engineering!! Great showcase brother
I'm no collector. I just skim comics related stuff. I can already tell that is the best cb statue of any size that's ever been created! Bar none! The detail and ingenuity is next level! Congrats!
This is probably your best statue unboxing video in terms of production quality, for future reference though I’d recommend doing the character bio in the beginning because it seems like it came out of nowhere. Keep kicking ass Gem.
Holy freaking crap!! WOW! Hahahaha! That opening shot of the statue sitting beside you kind of caught me off guard because of its sheer size! As always, thanks for the awesome vid! Crazy awesome statue!
that contrast between the matte gold and the gloss red on that Iron Man is the fuckn beautiful! hell that whole statue is straight fire even by itself, Hulkbuster is next level shit too which goes without sayin but ima say it anways, obviously The Best quarter scale Hulkbuster statue ever
Damn that thing is gigantic. Congrats on the pick up. I think I like them displayed separate so you get to see the Iron Man statue. Both options are cool as hell though. I thought that thing was gonna break the table. I understand the price but damn that shipping. LOL
We have now entered into territory unseen before....This is one of the most impressive statues I have seen..the work gone into this and the creative effort is top notch..defiantly a centerpiece of any collection..congrats and hope the hernia was worth it LOL.
Epic pieces! Absolutely a work of art! I probably dont realize from the video how huge it stands! XM is a phenomenal company! Thanks for the incredible unboxing!
XM hulkbuster is a grail even now,this video made me appreciate it more.But one thing to say Stephen if you are still looking old comments,I much preferred this type of video instead of newer ones where you show each piece by piece,this makes you appreciate how it all came together more
That's an impressive piece for sure. The one thing that would drive me crazy are the watch batteries. 1. they are expensive to replace and 2. replacing all of those will take a while. Too bad they didn't find a way to have it DC powered.
Even if your not a comic fan, this will definitely make you appreciate the artwork and the time everyone behind the scenes puts into a Masterpiece of this caliber! Hat's off to ya Bro!
I've never been super keen on Hulk Buster because Hulk would KO Iron Man even if he was in a suit inside of a suit. That being said, THAT'S THE ILLEST STATUE EVER! Iron Man ascending from the mech is a mandatory pose. That's a next level piece. If I could only own five pieces, that is TOP 5 fo sho.
It can easily be set as 2...but pose 2 is the winner for me.....just getting into it but the platform always sets them off for me...love this one...bricks and asphalt imbeded with structure beams and underground piping...its amazing...
You need to change your underwear after that unboxing lmao. The paint app looks fantastic and the sound of magnets when you put the pieces of armor on are so satisfying. Awesome piece! Congrats best one yet!
I am truly in awe. Watching the video and seeing your honest reaction as you look at it putting it together and your review is great. You truly are a fan of statue collecting. The piece is amazing. Also, watching the behind the scenes video earlier by your wife was so cool to hear your interactions between the two of you as you unboxed it. Great job as always Gem..stay Minty! Oh btw...how the heck did Steph get those boxes up the stairs? She ask the Orkin guy for help? 😄😄
DANG! That is an awesome piece. 2 statues that can be combined, thats a win,win. Great pick up Gem. XM killed it. Dont think I've ever seen you speechless when reviewing a statue. Lol
I ain’t an Iron Man fan but damn!! This has got to be one of the sickest pieces Be dope to see Wolverine take on a sentinel piece or Spider-Man vs Doc Ock But I don’t think anything can top this! This ones dope as hell and the color just pops!👀
That is epic!!! It looks like you could have a third pose with buster open and iron man outside of it maybe idk. I also want to see it in the dark with the statues lights on lol
Thank you for sharing, what a gorgeous piece! And, thank you for being kid friendly (mad respect for speaking without dropping "F-bombs" every 5 seconds). Awesome channel bro!
This is the craziest statue I have EVER seen. Freaking beautiful.
Your UPS driver needs to be on the payroll.
This guy by his looks and how he sounds is one of the last people I'd expect to be a nerd

Holy smokes! That’s a monster of a piece, damn.....XM is putting it down like Sasquatch feet, I love it
I'm actually overwhelmed with the size, color and detail of this beautiful piece.
Bruh if I ever got this, lol homie would need his own damn crib lmao
The Hulkbuster is so big, the statue pieces damn near look like parts of a cosplay costume.
I'm at a loss for words... I dont think I have any words that can explain how I feel about this piece, but its beyond phenomenal! Very many props to you and everyone one who rides with you because of you I've wanted to start collecting. CONGRATULATIONS MAN
That statue us unbelievable, and I love how the host really treats it and speaks out it like its a real work of art and not just a superhero statue!
its so unreal beautiful just beautiful
That statue is pure overload. Amazing!
One word to describe this behemoth is impressive.i have never seen a statue that's so incredibly detailed. Congrats on adding this beauty to ur collection.👍🏻👌🏻
I would like to get one of these, then a second mirrored version, then have them both in the entry way of my house on pedestals guarding my front door. That thing is badass!
Then i would Break into your house
For almost 5 years xm have rewritten the statue rule book! This is another piece that smashes the limitations in creative designs and engineering!! Great showcase brother
The Iron Man and Hulkbuster statues are awesome.

That is the single dopest statue I've ever seen, truly epic.

The most amazing statue I have ever seen...I need to buy a bigger house first before I get my hands on this one :)
Hulk buster has always been my favorite since I was a kid. I don't collect statues but I'm really thinking about picking up this one piece!
Your long silences during this unboxing and review speak volumes! Impressive piece for any collection.
Awesome addition to your collection. Props to the painters who made the polystone look like actual metal--well done, artists.
Beyond beautiful piece of artwork
This is probably your best statue unboxing video in terms of production quality, for future reference though I’d recommend doing the character bio in the beginning because it seems like it came out of nowhere. Keep kicking ass Gem.
Jake Nap yea I feel you. Couldn’t figure out where to put it.
That Lazy Susan was just Susan tonight. Shaking was making me nervous for the piece.
Ikr. It was literally doing all the heavy lifting. 😂
Yeah, I just kept panicking everytime it would tilt as he was spinning it, lol.
This by far my favorite statue I have watched you unbox. I.M. is one of my favorite characters.
That’s crazy how massive this statue is I can’t believe it. Amazing piece congrats.

Just realized Hulkbuster is basically Igor 2.0
Always look forward to the reviews.
