BEST STATUE companies of 2022

[@theinferno18]

1. XM 2. Prime 1 3. Sideshow

[@nathanscott1987]

For me i'd go #3 Sideshow #2 Queen #1 XM. Sideshow purely for the huge variety of licenses to choose from and their affordability. And Queen and XM for the high quality and just producing pieces that fit my collection in general.

[@Marty7555]

Top 3: Sideshow, Prime1 and Queen, big Iron Man / Marvel fan, so I'm having a field day at Queen. Got a Ghost of Tsushima pre-ordered at Prime1, love their quality, but they don't have a lot of licenses that are high on my list going on at the moment.

[@Psy_Moon]

It was fun to stop and think about how I feel about the various companies I've purchased from; via the products I've received. I'm really happy with my DC direct statues but I completed that collection in 2020. I only have one statue from First four Figures, which I love but that was from 2020 as well. Considering this year there are three contenders: XM Studios, Prime 1 Studios and Tweeterhead. From that list my personal favorite is XM Studios, I'll be ordering more from them, after that its Prime 1 followed by Tweeterhead.

[@beastcollectibles5872]

You had a lot of good points throughout the video, I definitely agree

[@georgemoss8729]

Awesome list X. Thanks

[@AlexApproBAT]

Just going quality of pieces, I'd say my top 3 are Prime 1, XM, and Tweeterhead. But factoring in pricing, shipping, customer service, etc, Sideshow would take my overall top spot.

[@OfficeArcade]

I still love PCS and Sideshow, feels like a lot of their holy grails are being slept on right now.

[@davidjones3825]

My top 3 are Tweeterhead, Queen Studio, and Weta. I should be recieving my first XM piece later this year, so the ranks may change in the near future. Lol

[@cmsweitzer1]

Love your reviews, but I am really digging these deeper dives into collecting and the Studios that make these statues! Great vid X! Peace and have a good weekend with the family! Guessing Prime One will be #1

[@scottbrown5241]

The detail from XM I think edges out the rest. For lifelike stuff I agree with you that Infinity is killing it but I prefer a little more of the comic book look and lean towards XM followed by Prime1, Sideshow and Tweeterhead. Thanks a always X for the fun content.

[@zabo358pure]

1) P1 2) Tsume 3) Queen

[@jaredkern28]

Great review as always! I Love PCS personally. I own there 1:3rd spiderman, miles, and Venom statues! I was wondering if you plan on getting the 1:3rd scale venom? I'm shocked you haven't done a review on it yet! Is there something you don't like about it?

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

I think it's awesome but all my Venom is 1:4

[@BigVince44]

Sideshow,Iron Studios and Prime 1. Prime 1 would be #1 but the shipping cost is a huge factor for me.

[@rutgervannahuijs263]

My top 3....3: Iron Studio's, 2: Sideshow 1: F4F...I love Zelda....

[@evanc7994]

Agree with prime 1 for #1…XM #2 and sideshow #3. Their call to action Superman is still my favorite statue in my collection.

[@anazasi6]

I definitely ❤️ XM studios, Prime1 and Queen studios. Last Level Silver Surfer is my Top fave.

[@brianwong2267]

Top 3: Prime 1, Queen Studios, XM

[@gabrielgutierrez9500]

Great video man. Top 3 licensed for me right now would be Sideshow, Queen and TH. Considering prices and quality. Can't really use delivery since pandemic caused so many delays for all companies.

[@beardednerdnation5633]

Custom (kingpin, mr sinister on throne), XM (red hulk), sideshow (Jabba/Star Wars) those companies in that order. I’m current building around the Jabba to make a sick scene out of it. If you have any recommendations… Already purchased(Gamorrean guard, Jawas, Max Rebo band)

[@mrgorgun81]

XM-P1-custom pieces in that order for me.SS is a distant fourth now. Never owned the other studios' pieces. Some customs are very nice too.

[@scherge]

Just ordered my first two statues from Prime1Studios, so I would put them on first place for now, too :) But I will keep an eye on JND, and if Figurama ever got the Berserk license I would be interested in testing the quality of their products as well. Nice overview, thank you 👍🏻

[@ukasznocen5706]

1. XM Studios 2. Prime1 3. Sideshow

[@Acemonkey87]

Dont have that many statues for an opinion. 2 sideshows ( Wolverine vs Hulk and Thor) both are amazing pieces. Truly happy with them.

[@pauldysinger8175]

I think your list is pretty well on point. I think blitzway is still working their way up in my eyes. Their delays are extreme but their quality is hard to beat

[@jamesss24]

It would be cool to see you do a full teir list of all companies and rank them S, A - F

[@jakeel85]

For me it's 1. Prime 1 2. Queen Studios 3. Tweeterhead

[@bchan6539]

I like xm a lot, but I wonder if I'm pigeon holing myself now, after seeing your review. JND is so expensive, but probably worth a try.

[@ravencomiccollector4019]

For me my top 3 are: 1. Prime 1 2. PCS 3. Queen Studios, maybe? I pick PCS as number two because of their vast array of statues based on different IPs. They dont just release Marvel or DC like XM, JND, Queen etc. Out of the big boys theyre most likely to release a statue based off of lesser known characters. They seem to be the only ones willing to do provocative girls as well. Creativity and doing things others are too afraid to do is very important to me. Along with their rising quality.

[@CollectorsEnabled]

Top 3 easily Prime1, Queen and XM. JND is up there and I own the Joker but price compared to the other three make it tough to justify. Can’t really go wrong with your top 10 list.

[@gutcassidyandthesundancech5925]

I need to see the JD Wonderwoman in person; I’m always underwhelmed whenever I see it on a review, it must be a killer in person! Top three companies for me are pretty standard ; Prime 1, XM, Sideshow. Have some Tweeterhead pieces on order I’m stoked to receive soon!

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

Probably my favorite 1/3 honestly which shocked the heck out of me. Love your name.

[@blancagarcia2180]

Juan 🤣

[@julianssnavarro3992]

Love prime 1, iron studios, and xm

[@danielt6861]

I gotta say Iron Studios Dare Devil was amazing !!

[@leomanteca4685]

My top five are Prime 1 Studios, XM Studio, Queen Studios, JND and Sideshow. With XM winning the “Best Packaging” award and Sideshow winning the “Best Customer Service” award. Prime 1 is my “Best Statue Company” five years in a row.

[@adrianus1016]

1. XM studio 2. Prime 1 3. Sideshow 4. Queen studios

[@bad_blood_studios]

There are so many these days. Even the custom studios are now growing into fully licensed companies. So its hard. I'm a painter, so for me it's the custom Resin Kit producers such as Narin Sculptor and MarcoArt.

[@theminigunner98]

Queen studios busts have looked the most realistic that I've ever seen... Unfortunately I can't afford statues of that pricepoint so I'll just enjoy from videos!

[@edfivedownunderplasticplanet]

For me it is Prime 1 then XM studios & I am still a fan of Tweeterhead because of the MOTU line. If I am honest I have never had any statues from 5 on your list, so that being said Iron studios would be my number 4. Your list makes total scence though. Cheers👍🏻🍻

[@ok_iot]

I am so friggin happy you made this list. I was actually trying to do this myself recently for my own personal use. Thanks man. My favorite statue I own is the master edition dante devil may cry I got. Lately I've been thinking about finding a secret empire captain America. So I'm going to say prime 1 is my favorite so far. Followed by some customs, then sideshow

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

I used to own the SE Captain. Custom. It was awesome.

[@SuperTrololo]

Queen Infinity P1 .The busts from Queen and infinity are leauges beyond the rest.

[@rutgervannahuijs263]

Hi Mr X, you keep talking about all these pre orders you have pending...but in other videos you're about quiting...or downsizing? I hope you continue, love the content! Cheers from the Netherlands!

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

I used to buy 10-30 a month. Now I’m buying about 5 and selling 15-20 per month.

[@nikchesh8758]

1. XM, 2. P1, 3. Queen/Tweeterhead

[@MNM_69]

My favourites are: Prime 1 XM Sideshow

[@marnellyabut5705]

love all of those companies, for me, sideshow and Xm and pure arts

[@djchaos2685]

Great video with great insight on these companies and would agree 1000% prime one is number one atm

[@derrelldavis7768]

I was into figures falling in love with the statues though 1)prime 1 seems very dope I like 3)sideshow and 2)custom pieces.

[@ryanquinn7045]

Good list. my top 3 would be sideshow, prime 1, and iron studios. Haven't seen many statues in person from many on your list.

[@zsbc2]

#1 Prime1 #2 Sideshow #3 Iron Studio

[@thunderwavzwalnut7934]

Omg, I didn’t know infinity studio took so long for production, guess I’ll still be waiting for them to release their Itachi, Kisame statue

[@fredericolobo]

1- XM, 2- Sideshow, 3- well, just for the Transformers line I have to go with Imaginarium Art

[@williamklingman809]

Yes. That attack on titans diorama is fire. This list is uhhh pretty accurate in my opinion.

[@ianloveland2726]

Very interesting list but I totally agree with prime. I own a couple of there pieces the quality on both is outstanding.

[@kieranmcelhill1899]

Cheers for the helpful video man

[@brianosullivan9894]

I am loving the custom studio life. Like xxxxxxxx studio, yyyyyyyyy studio and zzzzzz studio. Just killing it. Then XM studio and Prime1 are my go to's. Really enjoy the attention to detail and inventory.

[@lcbags6959]

This was really helpful! Thank you!

[@uthaesson1]

Prime Studios is still my top company too. I love my Hush Superman and first Hush Batman a lot. My favorite so far is my Dark Knight Returns Superman...just amazing in person. Queen Studios #2 XM Studios Legendary Beast #3

[@mikebaxe]

1. XM best grails in my collection 2. Sideshow best customer service 3. Queen Studios high quality statues

[@apnormaal744]

Best studios based on best statues,...this list would probably change 6x/day for me. But here goes 1. Queen Studio (based on their busts, eg Alita) 2. JND (based on WW) 3. Prime1 (based on the amount of smiles when I look around my collection)

[@anthonymagno8563]

1. SIDESHOW COLLECTIBLES 2. IRON STUDIOS 3. KOTOBUKIYA 4. MASTER REPLICAS THOSE ARE THE COMPAINES I HAVE IN MY COLLECTION I HOPE TO ADD PRIMES 1 AND XM STUDIOS ONE DAY AM VERY LIMITIED ON SPACE SO I KEEP TO I/6 SCALE BUT I DO HAVE A FEW 1/4 FROM SIDESHOW.

[@Chevrolet007]

I would say for me 1.prime1 2.sideshow 3.pcs

[@gerardollovet3712]

Def gotta diversify my collection I only own sideshow, XM, and iron studios

[@lbUdDAHl]

This is great video for new collectors to the hobby.

[@jn6305]

I really, really wish that Prime1 would go back to marvel and DC in 1:4 scale. All the amazing concepts in 1:3 scale that I can’t display because they won’t fit with anything else….it’s killing me. I gotta say though - sideshow has been doing MUCH better over the last two years. The stuff Martine Canale and Daniel Bell have been putting out for them has been fantastic and the finished products, though not as high-end as prime 1 or XM, has still been a tremendous value

[@hankymcspanky9093]

First 4 figures is pretty cool but their customer service is obnoxiously bad sometimes

[@ShadeyatCal]

Only two statues I have is with Prime1. Would love to get into the custom game if someone made some Beast Wars statues. But doesnt seem like the demand is there for that

[@davesingletary7702]

Prime 1 studio #1 everything as a hole statue looks amazing and ties together where queen studio are great but lacks on there bases some. XM studios all around great, I'm just more into movie pieces. Love there Spidey line, X man line are great and transformer line looks great. Sideshow some great pieces, Thor of brimstones and Iron studio's original cap and ironman 43 and blitzway Rocky 2 still my top favorites, Alot of great pieces out there by alot of different companies.when I started I was very selective and now so many new wows .lol😁

[@VulcanEditing]

Prime 1 is my #1 studio for sure, Jimei Palace is #2

[@The_Glittercave]

I just won figurama's new statue from castlevania so I'm happy with them, but prime 1 makes amazing statues

[@danielrosales5171]

Prime 1 dose some great work but man they are expensive for both the statue and shipping. now that Sideshow is distributing for them i have noticed the cost of shipping go down through them. But when they are hitting you with a shipping bill as much as the statue i draw then line. sideshow at 2 and XM at 1 are ranked up there for me due to that fact.

[@BrownShken]

I'd be interested in seeing how this list changes with value taken into consideration

[@frankscalzo662]

another great video! have some vids to catch up on, just got outa icu with chf, fml ssdd lmfao

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

DAMN... Glad you're okay. Take care of yourself.

[@74Bogie]

For me in no particular order I'd say Sideshow, Prime 1, PCS, and Darkside Collectibles top my list, although I am almost certain I'm gonna be jumping into the custom game soon so I'd have to say they might be my top since I see so many amazing pieces online. I'm really obsessing about customs right now.

[@itsmeevan]

Top 3 for me is Megahouse Prime1 Tweeterhead

[@edwindiaz8257]

GREAT CHOICES, TOO BAD FOR IRON-STUDIOS THOUGH. THEY STILL MAKE THE BEST 1/10 STATUES.👊🏽

[@hectorcuevas1206]

These outrageous prices are not ok,it's goona be hard for new collecters to come in to the game

[@Dyon_Cole_QuietStorm]

I’m at #3 Sideshow, #2 Prime 1 and an EASY #1 is XM Studios.

[@OnesixthQ]

2024 checking in. just watched this for the first time and would be interested to see what 2024 Mr X thinks today.

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

Funny you say that. Already filmed and launches in one week

[@LoogieT]

My Top 3: XM Studios Prime1 Queen Studios

[@cubannel12]

When I was younger and started collecting statues there weren't any particular companies making comic book character statues. What Marvel or DC would do is decide what character they would like to make a statue out of and comission a freelance sculptor to produce on for them. Somehow during my older years as I started looking into going back to buying statues I realized that actual companies bid on licensing rights to make and sell their artistic interpretation and concept of said characters. I don't know too many companies but from the ones I do know of XM, Prime, and Sideshow are great. They all make amazing pieces, but if I were to choose one. My top choice would be Sideshow because of the pricing and reliability.

[@Lethal_Venom]

I'm definity a huge P1 fan, just got a new statue in yesterday that I'm putting together now from them

[@robertanderson2201]

Xm studios would be go to for Xmen pieces. Prime 1 is my only choice for berserk pieces. Figurama is my third choice, but don't own any of them yet.

[@exquisitestatues]

Prime 1 / XM / Queen / Customs for me due to the focus of my collection. You should do a video of your top 10 statues in your entire collection

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

I've done multiple times. Will probably do it as a filler later this year.

[@exquisitestatues]

@@TheXtremeChannelMrX was referring to that actually , an updated one with all pieces considered up to today. Closer to year’s end would be great

[@paulbishop1777]

Doomsday and hulkbuster are total grails.

[@PedroLopez-cy1kl]

I can't disagree with your list. Thank you for the video.

[@witchblade100377]

I'm still too noobish in this hobby and I probably will always be. I mostly buy Sideshow and have a handful of XM. Only have one Prime 1 and that's really it. So I can't really put together a top list. I guess I'm only really familiar with the top three, Prime 1, XM, and Sideshow. I know there are tons of studios out there, but I can't afford to look at others, hah.

[@jackwatkins3103]

I have only bought from sideshow and prime 1 and Prime 1 are just on another level

[@mojopotato1715]

I like XM the best. Second is Queen Studios. Third is Sideshow.

[@NickA7062]

I don't have much to go on. On this one because I only have sideshow collectibles statues but I do have an old school PCS which is amazing I do think back in the day pcs made some really great ones but sideshow is probably my go to.

[@bchan6539]

I've never had an infinity studio piece but I felt really bad when I saw your video on the dragon piece. Probably would never buy a piece from them.

[@kinrobinson3095]

There are just.so many characters out there that I would gravitate towards, on sight alone, even if I know nothing of their origin!

[@danielcaruso6201]

Infinity studios is aptly named because it takes forever to get a piece from them. Great list. So true that starting out sideshow is probably one of the first companies i heard of. I think sideshow, xm and prime 1 are probably my favourite 3. Have to also give a shout out to iron studios because their x men line is so fun to collect.

[@deathjester9679]

This was a great video to lay the companies out on the table and rank them. I have to say prime one Studios is definitely number one for me. The variety the qualities the time frame it all works. Number 2 would be probably ranked Queen Studios cuz I like how Life like there statues looks and then number three would-be J&D for the same reasons.

[@notjohncena1169]

1.P1 2. Iron studios 3. Queens studios 4. JND even though I have only WW84 best statue in my collection I know you said top three but I had to add JND 😂

[@raymondlefebvre7027]

Top 3 for me would be Prime 1, XM and the third tie between PCS and Iron Studios. I don't have any PCS but I love the TMNT and Masters of the Universe statues they put out, but I do have a few Iron Studios and have a couple on preorder, I like the amount of detail and quality for the smaller scale. Be Excellent.

[@suicidetony]

I started in 2015 with sideshows t-Rex. At the time, I loved SS, thought they were the best at the time. Now, I only think they’re good for entry level statues, just starting out. I love Prime1, have a few on hand, and waiting on their warrior alien, and Eva-13. Pretty sure I’ll be ordering XM Absolute carnage on Friday. It will be my first XM, and my last statue.

[@Noobasaurus]

if i had to choose id probably say sideshow, good customer service and there price point always seems fair and competitive. Then id have to go XM studios there also pretty comparable to sideshow.

[@OmegaGenesisPrime]

Don’t own any Prime 1 statues but they make fantastic stuff. I am currently waiting on a Tweeterhead statue so it is good to know that they have delays to ease my expectations for when it arrives. They make great stuff though and I am looking forward to when it comes.

[@74Bogie]

Mr. X, do you remember why you got into this hobby and what your first statue was?

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

I have a video about how I amassed my collection. It tells the story

[@phillysheriff5138]

Definitely prime one for me then XM studios and third is sideshow. Sideshow customer service is pretty good. X maybe you should do a list of all the shops you do business with and rank them. Just a thought 💭

[@harlez0851]

The prices are outrageous, but man do the satues look awesome!!

[@harlez0851]

For Prime 1 that is, forgot to mention that part.
