I'm not sure how they compare in person but just on your video sideshow's looks head and shoulders better than XM's. Between price and shipping, SS easily wins IMO.
Yooooo, G-Mint this show was fire! I love this kind of comparison content. Hope to see more. Going to check your channel for the older ones you mentioned.
@@markjanssens1658 XM is too flashy and cartoony. Sideshow is subdue and bit realistic. In a battle I'll go with dull and mute. Make yourself a hard target. Stay Minty Fresh!👍
They're both absolutely amazing. Sideshow wins for me overall. Agreed with everything but the resale value because I wouldn't be reselling it down the road haha.
This is one of your best videos to date - high energy, fast paced, lots of valuable information. Love it man. XM just slightly edges out SS for me. At the end of the day it comes down to the paint - SS has lots of shading going on which I do like, but I think it’s overdone and makes spidey look darker than he should. It’s close though and I do think both are very nice. I do think the poses are different enough, I highly doubt SS intended to copy or take heavy inspiration from XM. Great video 💎
Another flawless I interview . For Spider-Man I am forever loyal to the Aurora Model of Spider-Man (on staircase rails) and Kraven from 1974; it represents the East Side of Buffalo and has a piece of my soul.
The comparison review is awesome. It's cool the way you do it . It was straight forward and you even out the difference between the two. But I do like the slideshow peace better.
@2:06 it’s not but point taken as it did take about 4 years to sell out given the huge ES. SS should’ve priced this new Spidey to be $600 shipped to your door. It’d be more competitive in that price range.
My first impression is the XM looks more Ultimate Spidey (teen spidey) and the SS looks more silverage spidey (mature). Having them side by side XM actually looks to be a smaller scale spidey.
Bout to make my first Premium Format purchase. Every time I think about getting a statue, I purchase a bunch of hot toys instead. Not this time. Favorite characters are Spider-Man and Iron Man. Would this SS Spider-Man be a good first pick up? Or should I wait for that new Iron Man VII Marquette? Could also consider that Gambit.
XM for the win! The pose, concept, switch outs. EVERYTHING ! XM takes the W But obviously for price wise SideShow Even thou my SideShow Spidey is coming in next week, XM takes W
I like the sideshow piece because Spider-Man is the focal point of the statue you can see him in all angles. The xm piece feels as if the base is the focal point and Spider-Man is a side accessory.
Pretty much agree with 100% of what you said. The paint really stands out as superior one the sideshow piece. And I like the Spiderman is the focal point of the statue. Good comparison! Thanks Gem
awesome comparison video and i agree...pose XM wins but not that much since SS one is good already...but paint work and sculpt SS is better. most of the time SS's statues have more depth in term of paint work and sculpt than XM's...not to mention Sideshow pieces are display "friendly".
i dont know why but i like the sideshow piece way more, like the use of contrast and the suit looks way more natural. In overall it looks more natural . AND THAT POSE, He is climbing a way out of his misery to came in clutch afterward , just like we know spidy
Ss is nice but XM is way better imp, Xm tells a better story though there design. I’m glad it’s going to be giving away because it’s the better of the two & I hope I win it. Keep up the good content
I can definitely see that sideshow's piece would more so be for owning where as XM would be more of a collectors item to sell way down the line like you're saying. I mean for that shipping cost........that's pretty ridiculous. Awesome job man!
I love them both for different reasons! SS looks real. Like an actual piece of art. But XM captures Spiderman for what he is. A comic book character that is playful and heroic in nature.
There's something about the blue on the SS PF that I am in love with. Actually even the red even though it doesn't "pop" like the XM red, I love the metallic shimmer it has. Lastly in the video at least, the paint on the XM looks plastic even though I know it's not, where the SS piece looks like a real suit that he created with tons of shadowing. Although I don't have any Spidey statues yet, once I get a Venom I'm going to be buying one and it's probably going to be SS. Not a huge fan of the XM piece, although it aint bad.
Best comparison video you made! Spot on! SS done a better job this time! This piece is growing on me,even though did not want to order it!! Like it more and more...... How is the size? On the video looks slightly bigger than the XM Spidey! Is it only because of the stretched out pose?
The SS here is my favorite by far but because I live in France I got the taxes for it as well... Don't regret it at all nevertheless, it looks so amazing next to the Symbiote variant of a past Spider-Man statue released by SS (I noticed you have it in your Scarlet Spider unboxing). It would have been so nice next to some of the XM 1:4 Spider-Villain you also unboxed. Really astonashing pieces I missed. Mysterio, Scorpion, Vulture and Sandman were my favorites. Great Sinister Six diorama I will never be able to make. I really want to buy the Mystique you unboxed last year, it was a "fall in love at first sight" statue but again, so expansive with the taxes. :/
I liked the tower on the XM but it really needed a bit more filler tentacles. The XM has a bit too much empty space all around it. Especially since Spidey is off to the side which wasn't a great idea imo without doing something more with the center area. Agree that the web looks too loose also. For me it's no contest on this particular piece. Sideshow for the win. I loved your comparison show. Hope you do many more like this.
I was thinking sideshow looked better when the video started and then the way the review was going I was thinking you were going to go with XM so I'm glad to know that I picked the right one.
Sideshow won this battle pretty easy. The XM Spider-Man looks like a shiny plastic toy. I wouldn't pay $150 for the XM.
They both so dang good looking Damn one is going for the gritty realistic look the other is my nostalgic ps1 Spider-Man
Honestly I’m shocked that I’m voting for XM. It was an easy pass for me and I ordered SS but I think XM for the win
same for me one this one
How was this posted a week ago ? 😟

Nah. I’m with Mr Gem here. The XM looks too cartoony.
Comparison game strong. This needs to be a series
Important to note the 2 types of collectors: ones that keep their statues FOREVER vs ones that buy & resell
Word Up!👍 Sideshow is a keeper!
Resellers ruin everything
I've recently found your videos. I love them I full screen every time!! currently going through your back catalogue
I'm not sure how they compare in person but just on your video sideshow's looks head and shoulders better than XM's. Between price and shipping, SS easily wins IMO.
Man great video yo!! Excited to see more of these. Both are really nice statues. I like the paint job in the sideshow .love the shadowing
Really enjoyed this one and agree with you on all points. Fun video!
I think an unmasked portrait on the SS piece would make it a grail for me, anyone know if any have been made?
Yooooo, G-Mint this show was fire! I love this kind of comparison content. Hope to see more. Going to check your channel for the older ones you mentioned.
they were really early one...like Thanos on Throne, Sideshow Carnage...
All collectors want discounts. Hence, sales price is usually far below ask price.
Ok. Sold. Thank you very much!
In comparison the Look and the Price it's a easy win for Sideshow!👍
yeah i wouldnt pay 350 more for the XM.
The paint on Sideshow is so dull and muted though

After a long day but fun day at work( Elem. Art teacher) it’s cool to turn on my phone and see these epic Spiderman statues on display. Lol
Gem Mint, this year's Super Bowl referee
I’ve been waiting for this video to drop during school😂
Sculpt and paint are always number one for me
That side show collectable is frikkin gorgeous
They're both absolutely amazing. Sideshow wins for me overall. Agreed with everything but the resale value because I wouldn't be reselling it down the road haha.
Agreed. I'm keeping the Sideshow Spider-Man. Definitely will be adding it to my "Hall of Fame" room.
Lmao!! Your killing the thunbnail game rn.
This is one of your best videos to date - high energy, fast paced, lots of valuable information. Love it man.

Great video 💎
thanks Samy
Agreed about it being a bit too dark but IMO it’s not enough to make XM the winner.
I am surprised Sideshow takes the win, but lately they been really stepping up their game.
Word Up!👍
Great view. I should be getting my SS today. Pumped!
I like the SideShow Spider-Man the best. Thanks, Gem Mint.
Both of em cold fr but the xm studio one went crazy with the ripped mask 😭🔥
All in all great Review always love to watch you’re statue video. Keep up the good work
That Tobey face makes me 😍😭
Gem man not sure if it’s new but the blue and red lighting working the book cases look great man!
Great detailed vid. Really enjoyed the the format and comparison.
Another flawless I interview . For Spider-Man I am forever loyal to the Aurora Model of Spider-Man (on staircase rails) and Kraven from 1974; it represents the East Side of Buffalo and has a piece of my soul.
i like the darker tone on spiderman on SS and the base of the tentacles
Love the channel, man. The Sideshow Spider-Man statue looks cooler.
Loved this type of video👍
More please.
Maybe compare a magneto on throne vs doctor doom on throne?
This video was awesome and informative. I am really enjoying to watch your. God Bless from Japan
Wow..you gave i really intresting interview. Man i would think like that. Thank for everything you're doing.
SS is clearly the winner on this one, going to pair this with the P1 Venom... XM had a shiny to glossy (scaled down) look for Spider-man .
Word Up! That will be an Amazing Pairing.👍
I too also like the side show better because I don’t have A lot of room for statues so having a small footprint is key for me.
Nice comparison video. Can’t wait for a SS Gambit vs XM Gambit end of year or 2021. Can’t wait for the SS version aka the 1 I can afford.
The comparison review is awesome. It's cool the way you do it . It was straight forward and you even out the difference between the two. But I do like the slideshow peace better.
Great video idea. Love a comparison
@2:06 it’s not but point taken as it did take about 4 years to sell out given the huge ES. SS should’ve priced this new Spidey to be $600 shipped to your door. It’d be more competitive in that price range.
I would have both of them. Both are good in there own ways
Sideshow for sure ! I like the option for swapping heads on XM tho
My vote goes to the Sideshow piece for the paint job.
My first impression is the XM looks more Ultimate Spidey (teen spidey) and the SS looks more silverage spidey (mature). Having them side by side XM actually looks to be a smaller scale spidey.
Don't hold your breath waiting for that XM statue to appreciate in value.....
Awesome vid brother,keep up the good work!!
Lol digging the Refs Polo shirt.
For me sideshow! The overall artistic feel of this Spider man is so much better for me.
Bout to make my first Premium Format purchase. Every time I think about getting a statue, I purchase a bunch of hot toys instead. Not this time. Favorite characters are Spider-Man and Iron Man. Would this SS Spider-Man be a good first pick up? Or should I wait for that new Iron Man VII Marquette? Could also consider that Gambit.
XM for the win! The pose, concept, switch outs. EVERYTHING ! XM takes the W
But obviously for price wise SideShow
Even thou my SideShow Spidey is coming in next week, XM takes W
Agreed 100%. I like XM pieces and have two of them so far, but I definitely preferred the Sideshow Spidey and ended up purchasing it.
Both statues are great ! But is too much difficult to decide which one is the best !
Gawd, they’re both great. That XM pose is ridiculous, IMO.
Yeah I like the SS one best its a nice statue
Love them both!
I agree with your result but I do like them both.
I like the Sideshow Spidey better too.
LOVE this idea for format.
Overall I agree with you. I like the XM better it just looks more realistic to me. It was close for me, they are both really well made.
Very informative and straight to the point , keep it up 💎
I was waiting for this video. Just ordered my first statue, i went with SS 🤟🏼
New subscriber here! Gotta say I'm happy I found this channel! Great quality videos man!
welcome!
Think I'd still go for sideshow. Solid statues
I like the sideshow piece because Spider-Man is the focal point of the statue you can see him in all angles. The xm piece feels as if the base is the focal point and Spider-Man is a side accessory.
Great comparison, I personally have always loved the sideshow models so to actually hear about the practicalities in this manner is really useful.
Sideshow has had the Disney marvel license for years before XM and this was teased by sideshow about 18weeks before XM announced there's.
are you sure? XM had a prototype out years ago...when it had different villain switch outs
So...give-away the Sideshow statue instead for the contest? Lol
Love it, Gem, great content this week!
Thanks for doing this! I love the satiny paint app on the Sideshow piece, but prefer the XM for everything else.
Nice comparison video!
Pretty much agree with 100% of what you said. The paint really stands out as superior one the sideshow piece. And I like the Spiderman is the focal point of the statue. Good comparison! Thanks Gem
Very cool video! I prefer..... both of them :D
awesome comparison video and i agree...pose XM wins but not that much since SS one is good already...but paint work and sculpt SS is better.
most of the time SS's statues have more depth in term of paint work and sculpt than XM's...not to mention Sideshow pieces are display "friendly".
Totally agree. XM's Spidey is cool, but Sideshow did an awesome job with the sculpt and paint, it's so deep and beautiful
i dont know why but i like the sideshow piece way more, like the use of contrast and the suit looks way more natural. In overall it looks more natural .
AND THAT POSE, He is climbing a way out of his misery to came in clutch afterward , just like we know spidy
sideshow for sure. love the detailing and just the overall look of it
Ss is nice but XM is way better imp, Xm tells a better story though there design. I’m glad it’s going to be giving away because it’s the better of the two & I hope I win it. Keep up the good content
I can definitely see that sideshow's piece would more so be for owning where as XM would be more of a collectors item to sell way down the line like you're saying. I mean for that shipping cost........that's pretty ridiculous.
Awesome job man!
I just bought some mint gum.....i know that doesn't have anything to do with the video but, good job as always 😁
I agree the sideshow spider - man statue is the winner on look and detail
When you gotta work at Footlocker at 4, but got to get your YT video shot by 3.
I'm playing haha, definitely like the XM Studios statue better!
the ss looks like a wolfpax makette..solid comparison rudeboi
I love them both for different reasons! SS looks real. Like an actual piece of art. But XM captures Spiderman for what he is. A comic book character that is playful and heroic in nature.
Cool stuff love it 👍💎
There's something about the blue on the SS PF that I am in love with. Actually even the red even though it doesn't "pop" like the XM red, I love the metallic shimmer it has. Lastly in the video at least, the paint on the XM looks plastic even though I know it's not, where the SS piece looks like a real suit that he created with tons of shadowing. Although I don't have any Spidey statues yet, once I get a Venom I'm going to be buying one and it's probably going to be SS. Not a huge fan of the XM piece, although it aint bad.
Lmao..Ref shirt and all love it nice touch
Sideshow wins all categories... 💪🏾
Im finally clearing up space for my first big statue. It's a hard choice because i only want one! Im looking at all your videos to get ideas.
I’m digging the XM myself
Hahaha loved the video thumbnail, SS spiderman for me allday.
Well thought out and put together 😊🤘🏾😎
Best comparison video you made! Spot on! SS done a better job this time!
This piece is growing on me,even though did not want to order it!!
Like it more and more......
How is the size? On the video looks slightly bigger than the XM Spidey! Is it only because of the stretched out pose?
The SS here is my favorite by far but because I live in France I got the taxes for it as well... Don't regret it at all nevertheless, it looks so amazing next to the Symbiote variant of a past Spider-Man statue released by SS (I noticed you have it in your Scarlet Spider unboxing).

I really want to buy the Mystique you unboxed last year, it was a "fall in love at first sight" statue but again, so expansive with the taxes. :/
I think the same the sideshow statue it looks more real and awesome 👏
Just curious to know if you have you have pieces by Bowen and if you do what do you think about their work?
I am more of a Sideshow guy myself less hassle for shipping. I like the paint job better on the sideshow piece too.
Its official like a ref wit a whistle. It all came down to paint for me. Sideshow got it. The XM is too glossy
I liked the tower on the XM but it really needed a bit more filler tentacles. The XM has a bit too much empty space all around it. Especially since Spidey is off to the side which wasn't a great idea imo without doing something more with the center area. Agree that the web looks too loose also. For me it's no contest on this particular piece. Sideshow for the win. I loved your comparison show. Hope you do many more like this.
