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.
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
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.
I like randomly finding videos like this on TH-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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
@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.
X-Men!!! Feel that siiiiick theme music! I don't even care about collecting statues, but man Gem you keep me coming back for more X-Men stats. Keep all this X-Men content comin Gem!
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! :)
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 !
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
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.
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?
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.
Personally, since I am a Storm fan and into all available Storm collectables, the visible seams present no problem for me. It's definitely on my "to get" list for this year. But I want to point out something else- since I am also not a big fan of assembling items. At around 7:54 on clip you realized that you were supposed to do the cape first- then continue. You also had time to edit that scene out altogether- but chose to let it remain. Kudos to you for keeping it in the clip! There are many of us (me included) who do not always assemble things perfectly the first time around.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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!!! 🌬💨🌪⛈⚡️

She looks so beautiful I love it so much!
dayyummm they did that piece, her power just screams in the statue. kudos for keeping your cool on the broken hair
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😎💎

glad you found the channel
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!"
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.
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.
The Goddess goes at the top
Great unboxing!! She totally looks bad ass I got to say she is probably one of my favorite statues you’ve unboxed to date
The X-men are my favorite marvel team
th-cam.com/video/CgDY_kze-fg/w-d-xo.html
Dope ass piece. Best looking Storm statue out here. Congrats Gem.
Storm is gorgeous!
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.
Un-stormy Storm and stormy Storm. Beautiful either way! I think I prefer stormy Storm. Thorough review!
Rough stretch with these breaks dude, don't settle man get dem replacements!
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.
Everytime I see a broken piece? I cry inside. Shit sucks, but this statue looks great
I like this piece a lot better than I thought I would. Awesome statue!
This is indeed a kick-ass piece Gem, thanks for sharing! 👊🏼🤘🏼
Thanks again Gem for the review. Enjoy your new addition to your collection.
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!
Bruh how can you thumbs down this?! All these x men statues have been on point.
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

Absolutely Gorgeous! Huge too!
An awesome statue! Great unboxing video
Man she looks sweet I would love a video of all ur statues lol
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.
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!
She's my favorite. She's a Goddess and a Queen. Reminds me of Beyoncé somehow haha
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!
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.
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.
Pretty legit. I likes me some Mohawk Munroe, but this is a rad piece.
Mohawk? Nope.. One of her worst looks!
👌🏼

@Ryan Stewart LOL that was a good one :) And it's nice to see another Storm fan, have a good day! ;)
I REALY LOVE THIS ONE
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.
X-Men!!! Feel that siiiiick theme music!
I don't even care about collecting statues, but man Gem you keep me coming back for more X-Men stats. Keep all this X-Men content comin Gem!
Feeling that base. Looks sick. Great content and very informative. Great job bro. Keep up the great work
Thank you for sharing!!! Still waiting on mine! Love her!
50 shades of grey? SMH Gem. She looks good despite the issues.
LOL

Great video regardless! :)
Sweet ass piece! but damn those seams doe. Congrats on it though, looks hella nice!
Jeez, that's a big ass box. Sorry to hear you had issues with it. Great video.
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
@@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 !
Another awesome review for another awesome piece
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!
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
Gembo’s got the night shift!🌕🌙
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
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
They should have made the seems diffrent with a costum disign, you will never notice it than. But could be the white colour.
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.
That's an interesting take on her cape.
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.
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
Personally, since I am a Storm fan and into all available Storm collectables, the visible seams present no problem for me. It's definitely on my "to get" list for this year.

Kudos to you for keeping it in the clip! There are many of us (me included) who do not always assemble things perfectly the first time around.
yea i dont mind looking stupid...most of the edits are because it was too long and boring.
She looks so powerful 👑⛈
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.
Thanks Mr Mint, I was suffering from Xmen withdrawals...
Happy holidays. Congratulations on getting STORM. Really hope that you get a replacement. Way to many videos showing breaks.
Overall not a bad statue the seams would drive me crazy though I’ll probably have to pass
Hey Gem Mint Collectibles! Great video!! Wondering if there are any recs on how to locate this piece, can’t seem to find : /
i like the second portrait better cause she looks serious and bad ass looking.
That is one beautiful statue
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).
Great review! Can't wait to get mine in!
wooooooooooooooo! love the xmen theme song
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
do they traditionally sculpt these statues or use z brush sculpting program? she looks awesome!
most modern pieces are zbrush now
literally no knowledge about figurines but your vids are great!
Congratulations dude she's awesome
dope piece bro... great review
I missed out on Storm....thank God I got my Cyclops paid up 💪🏾
Congratulations, love it!
She's amazing. What size is??
Dam I missed out on this statue dam love storm
No music during b-roll? Rock that X-Men animated song, man!
jetman189 i has it but got hit with a copyright, so just took it out to get the video out
@@GemMintCollectibles damn tough luck
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
Damn first punisher broken and now storm. She did look good tho
Beautiful piece
Congrats on the piece.
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
Great video per usual
Cool vid. I love the paint on the tornado. Can you interchange both portraits or do the capes get in the way of the hair?
you can interchange because the cape is low on the one that goes with the screaming portrait
Ahh cool
Another awesome review bro! Sucks about the breakage. Hope you can get that sorted out with XM.
Yes, nightcrawler 👍
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
Best Storm around. wouldn't be surprised if XM outdoes SS Rouge at some point. They're straight killing it. #3Ktogo
Rocking bod, no not you gem. LOL Thx for the video and have a great day.
Comic Guy lol ok now that was funny
A grail if there ever was one!
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.

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.
