Believe it or not, Swamp Thing is my favorite DC character. It all started with the amazing Moore run, but then I went backwards and decided to check out the Len Wein era: while not as good as what Moore came up with later, it was still very enjoyable and the fact that it was pencilled by the iconic Wrighston helped a ton. Finally, I thought the NEW 52 run was quite decent, mainly because of the art and an ok story. It sucks that this Prime Statue arrived with so many issues, but I'm glad you still enjoyed it. My favorite display option would be the Bronze Era head with the bird on hand. Overall outstanding piece that I'd love to own.
Oh I like this statue including all the the painting on the Box or the pictures on the Box is thank you for showing swap thing 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 the statue family thank you so much and i including all your friends would hpress what happened all a wonderful day-and-night thank you so much
Swamp Thing is one my favorites to read just got the third volume of the Absolutes. This statue looks great and I really like the switch out sculpts. Be Excellent.
Hey Gem Mint... big fan. Been watching your vids for a long time. I just got my Swampy from Prime 1. Its incredible... But, I had the exact same problem with the bark-like piece on his left leg. Did you ever get that resolved? I just reached out to Prime 1, but haven't heard back. Just curious. Thanks for doing these reviews!
Awesome Swamp Thing statue! Sorry to hear about the shipping issues. Hopefully maybe they can give you a better idea of what happened and hopefully that will not cause you issues with that statue. Awesome review!
Are you going to keep it, considering the imperfections, or have Prime One send you a new one. I can take minuscule issues; however, those speckles would be hard to live with.
Gem I don't know how you manage to stay so chilled over the breakages. There's no way on god's green earth no pun intended. Would I keep that statue. I don't know if it was direct from prime one or you've picked it off another collector but I would ask for my money back.
Gem, I love the channel! Been a looong time subscriber! I really like the statue unboxings! I love the Swamp Thing character but i dont like this statue. It does not do the character Justice. Just seems off and I cant not unsee those horrible seams at the hands and wrists.
I really don’t understand what makes these statues worth that much money, I know a lot of work goes into them and they are dope for sure but 1500$ for something that just sits there and you look at it.
Man, the condition of this piece is inexcusable. I like the statue, but don't love it. Kinda wish it wax a slightly brighter green. A little to dark for me. I'm currently reading the Broze Age Swamp Thing Omnibus, before I read the Moore Absolutes. Friggin love it so far.
Real sick Swamp Thing piece, sucks it had those issues. I do think think we still haven’t gotten the pivotal Swamp Thing statue just yet. Definitely my favorite base out of all the statues released so far tho and head sculpt with the root arch of the nose.
Not sure how this would hold up exposed to the elements, but if you had a garden it would be pretty tight to have it protected by the Avatar of the Green... rather than the typical pot-bellied garden gnome. 😋
Love swamp thing. And I'm so honored to have his 1st comic book appearance. And this statue is amazing. Sorry it got damaged. I hope things work out bro. Good review as always.
Love the base. With the animals and vines and everything. The New 52 head seems to match much better with the rest of the body. I just feel like the execution / engineering is lacking a bit with P1 these days. The bird peg that doesn't go all the way reminds me of the issue with Puck on the Guts 1:3. And also I find a lot of the seems very visible.
To this day this is one of the most impressive statues I’ve seen. I love all the detail. Curious, I may still know the answer lol but of all the 1/3 scale pieces from P1 you have, do you like this one the best now or Supes still?
Sorry ya'll....looks like i wasn't in focus when in shot with the statue at the end...hopefully it's not too bad.
hey mr gem mint…. if you’re about to buy the 1/3 lobo… sideshow seconds has it right now! 😁
Swamp Thing is the most underrated character in DC. I alsp loved the show, shame they canceled it after one season.
Had such potential
Dont worry, his time will come
Being from Louisiana he’s one of my all time fav characters in any genre thanks to Alan Moore’s run
That era of DC shows on the DC Universe app was awesome, Swamp thing and Doom patrol are great.
PLASTIC MAN
WARLORD
BRONZE TIGER
most underrated characters
This would command the entire collection 👀
Stoked for Deadman and Constantine
Awesome piece!
Respect the GREEN!
Amazing statue! I wanna go rewatch the classic movies 😂
I don’t even collect statues, but if I did, this one is a MUST! What a beauty!!

That broken chunk looks like his tree bark fell off and you see the bare tree like his skin got ripped off.

I like your hair. Looks like you were driving a convertible with the top down
I got this one on sale, can’t wait to get it in. Luckily I got the exclusive!

what a monster!
Mold on swamp thing? Isn’t he basically a walking fungus
Yuck. The hell is that? Muscular, scowling, a sword...bleh.

Can we maybe see a Man-Thing statue before another Swamp Thing? Maybe a Mike Ploog version?
Huh. Hadn't seen this one before, very cool!
Shame you had those issues. Hopefully they give you a replacement.
Very intricate and unique! I like this statue's slimy feel. Shame about the damage.
Very cool statue! Great job with detail, thanks for sharing!
Hope the issues get fixed! Don’t like the DX portrait, but the DX extra “spear” arm might be my favorite.

Great looking piece. Too big for me so I opted for the 1/4 XM Swamp Thing.
I haven’t been keeping up with your channel for a while. You look like you’ve lost some weight.
Gem, I love the channel! Been a looong time subscriber! I really like the statue unboxings! I love the Swamp Thing character but i dont like this statue. It does not do the character Justice. Just seems off and I cant not unsee those horrible seams at the hands and wrists.
The Swamp Thing to get if you're collecting DC. XM got nothing on this.
This is ok Sideshow still has the definitive Swamp Thing IMHO
Awesome, they need to make Cykill ,and Voltron statues,stay blessed all in Jesus shalom
I’m not familiar with the character but I really like this statue. Makes me want to read some Swamp Thing so I have an excuse to buy this one
Damm that’s a beast of a statue looks great, I don’t know much of the swamp thing at all it’s a very interesting character
thought this was too dark at first but it all works so well in the end. hope they send you a new body
Damn I didn’t even know that was a thing
Probably the best for my bank 🤣
I really enjoyed both of the movies Swamp thing .
Definitely a beast, great concept, but I can’t unsee the seam lines where both hands attach.
I still love the Bernie wrightson swamp thing the most.
I really don’t understand what makes these statues worth that much money, I know a lot of work goes into them and they are dope for sure but 1500$ for something that just sits there and you look at it.
Great unboxing !! Do you have s giant statues of any of the old school monsters I would love to see those 💎
Hey Gem I new this piece would be sick as hell and yep it is!!Awesome to bad about the damage tho!
Such a cool statue, I seen a video about this before in another collection, it’s the only time I’ve seen this one.
Everytime I see you do an unboxing video am just amazed at the size of the box and statues.
Loving this one, swamp thing is a stunner.
Amazing amazing, curious if you had to choose this or XM?
Holy shit!!!! I can't believe you got this one!!!
Great review as always. Mold on Swamp Thing seems oddly appropriate.

Bummer about the issues you had. Impressive piece.
5:02 HAHAHA it looks like Swamp Things swamp thing 🤣🤣
Swamp thing pretty big here, not a huge fan, but sad to here that there is some damage. You might want to go for an exchange.
Bro that tree bark sword is badass this whole statue looks amazing.
Unbox some officially licensed DC Hro cards next, boss
Looks amazing, but dang man, sucks about the damage.
That statue is a beast. The xm studios is more of my taste.But still a super cool piece.
This guy is huge! The base and tree look amazing. Sucks about the issues you had with yours. Very impressive statue overall.
Let us know about the "glitter." Curious to see if it cleans up.
Awesome beast of a piece!!!
Never seen specks like that, crazy! Still a great statue.
In case of giveaway place comment here
Oh man my childhood obsession with my swamp thing figures and movies is weeping from the beauty. Thanks man great as usual.
Not sure how this would hold up exposed to the elements, but if you had a garden it would be pretty tight to have it protected by the Avatar of the Green... rather than the typical pot-bellied garden gnome. 😋
Thanks for another great review! 🙂
would love to see this with a custom paint job
Deadman!! Constantine!! Can’t wait
I like the tree in the background
i used to be so afraid of swamp thing when i was a kid
looks so plastic and cheap...
Looks awesome! To bad about those issues
Killer statue, what a beauty!
Napakaganda
So Incredible.
Awesome fn statue
Great video
I hope TH-cam sends you all the money and the algorithm works in your favor
Love this pick up! Did you purchase this straight from prime 1? I see its still available, thinking of coppin.
Yes
Please get the Lobo
A very wicked piece
HARD.
That's gigantic
He looks BADASS
Kale yeah, boy! 🔥👍🤣
Did you just have to glue the broken piece? What kind of glue you use?
Yea, gorilla glue
weed thing
Wow!!!
Want!
Dope
Oof that’s a big boi! The black manta wasn’t canceled . I have one and it’s awesome 😎
Oh lol
🤘❤️🤘
This piece is so tempting still. The gigantic base just kills me.
Still have this one! Too damaged to sell lol
@@GemMintCollectibles oof. That’s always a bummer. 😬
Love swamp thing. And I'm so honored to have his 1st comic book appearance. And this statue is amazing. Sorry it got damaged. I hope things work out bro. Good review as always.
That's a nice one! Not a character I would normally want but it looks fantastic!!!
This one is awesome! I have always wanted thos one. I already have the sideshow Swamp Thing and have the XM Swamp Thing on order.
Love the base. With the animals and vines and everything. The New 52 head seems to match much better with the rest of the body.
I just feel like the execution / engineering is lacking a bit with P1 these days. The bird peg that doesn't go all the way reminds me of the issue with Puck on the Guts 1:3. And also I find a lot of the seems very visible.
This is a super badass statue, I love both portraits! Hopefully the white speckles cleaned up
To this day this is one of the most impressive statues I’ve seen. I love all the detail. Curious, I may still know the answer lol but of all the 1/3 scale pieces from P1 you have, do you like this one the best now or Supes still?
Looks amazing!! If I were a swamp thing collector this is the one I’d get. That 1/4 black manta has shipped I’ve seen it in peoples collections.
That's a bummer about the messed up part on it, but very impressive statue.
Get that Lobo Gem!!
Will do lol
the artwork in the box is amazing . the statue looks sooooo niceeee !!!
Love the huge proportions of it.
Dude you gotta be on anabolics.
