Love this statue. I've been a huge fan of Rogue ever since I watched the original cartoon.

[@asvp_m3l]

@@1985Link unfortunately, I don't. More than likely will never be able to afford one

[@_SPARTAMARCUS]

Yes, XM usually has better paint and detail than SIDESHOW. However, the statues pose, portrait and price are a big deal. XM has had issue nailing those three lately. The SIDESHOW Rogue is better. I like that SIDESHOW and XM keep going back and forth in the battle of the X-Men statues. I think it is better for us as collectors because they try to top one another.

[@tressil3607]

I like XM Storm, but Psylocke and Rogue have been misses for me. I don’t mind the realistic look, but the portraits have really missed the mark.

[@halfdrawnpe]

Absolutely agree with you. I love the base and her stance. I'll never understand why companies will provide more than one portrait if they look all but identical to each other.

[@mattlee7210]

Back in the 90s as a kid I was crushing on rogue hard! Lol. I'm still a fan of the character despite her changes over the years so i really enjoyed the nostalgia seeing the statue,I definitely enjoyed and appreciated the unboxing review! 💯🔥💎

[@thebandwagonfanpodcast]

Rogue is one of those characters where the interchangeable hands works and looks so dope. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@toeknee1505]

I'm in love with this 1/4 scale Rogue statue! Thanks for the awesome review, Gem!

[@Astronaut_Bear]

everything you said, I agree !!!! got mine yesterday and was waiting for your video and we agree on this one.... i'm keeping mine word for word i agree.

[@davidmcclain8851]

It deserves the GEM Mint seal!!!

[@danielwilliamson6180]

My favourite X-Men character.

[@robertanderson2201]

I still prefer the ss one, but the paint on this is better.

[@kennethbyrd2230]

Oh I love this statue fantastic and all the coloring and the stand and everything including with all the painting and everything and I hope you and all your loved ones are having a wonderful day and night thank you for showing this statue off thank you so much

[@hotsuperheroinefightmarvelvsdc]

very cool!

[@eddydoo4221]

Damn! I haven't been here for a few months or so. The weight loss is huge Gem! Looking good dude keep it up!

[@mojopotato1715]

I like it more than when I first saw this teased by XM. But you are right about those portraits. If I had a choice I would pick the Sideshow one.

[@ashleysmith640]

I ordered a while back good review glad I did 😊👍👍

[@Acemonkey87]

She looks amazing! Can't wait to see her in the MCU.

[@TheNerdyGeek]

I can't wait till mine comes in, love the XM X-Men line.

[@SwanShadow]

Another great review! I own and love the Sideshow Rogue. It's the only statue in my collection that I bought, not because I have a deep connection to the character, but just because the statue is so darned cool. I don't have that same vibe with this XM piece.

[@thatguy2359]

I just got my rogue In and I absolutely love it!

[@badnewz3531]

Always loved Rogue!! Especially this version of her

[@Aml-dr5oz]

the smiling portrait looks like Anna the star wars girl, very cool.

[@chrispycomics6023]

I agree Rogue often has that expression of rage gritting teeth .. would have been nice to get a different alt head!

[@vividcollectibles]

Great review on this. The portraits and pose are just ok for me.

[@mikeat4mcomics758]

I was looking at the sideshow piece and this review is what I needed. I agrees with expression for the head sculpts. This is definitely a fire detailed piece but between this one and sideshow. I give it to sideshow. Thanks for the review as always gem 💎

[@woody32095]

Loved the Colossus hand with Wolverines bone claws

[@richardzaric2524]

The base is very cool. I like the texture of the costume. The jacket works well. I think I prefer the first look you demonstrated (holding the cables).

[@paulantiporda3579]

Beautiful rogue. Still in my wildest dream to own one.... 😊

[@graposo7]

Thanks for another great review! 🙂

[@mikestainbrook6311]

I think she looks great I agree with the foot problem that would bother me also but she sure looks good in the collection!!

[@woody32095]

I would've loved to seen a portrait with a rage like expression

[@andrei189]

amazing statue!!!!

[@mannyc19]

Love this one.

[@fredlight]

Good review all your points are justified.

[@MJov3n]

She looks great. If I was still collecting xmen I would grab this

[@Almighty_Mage]

If I had the money and space I would get this. Rogue is my favorite X-men

[@johnyfastr]

I love those switch outs. The Wolverine/Colossus arm and the Gambit arm would definitely be what I displayed. The not setting flush with the base isn’t cool though.

[@venomspawn5422]

I love all the detail. The face looks amazing.

[@jeffrycatle1093]

Yes 💯 love her XM Studios give more accurate comic series anime than the sideshow.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Yea I totally agree Gem, it doesn’t wow me at all, if it had a rage expression then I might have liked it more. But it does look cool up there beside all her X-Men team buddies haha.

[@FrancoGio]

Very cool 👍Amazing looking statue 👌

[@MostlyJoshin]

This piece is so dope! She looks great, minus some of the portraits.

[@paul-norsemgr9263]

Nice statue, those switch out arms are pretty cool.

[@kidbravo1980]

Props for keeping it 💯 . I agree with you they should have learned from SS and improved on the facial options. Another great review man!

[@waltcee]

Dope!

[@romanesparza8575]

I agree with you on the fact that they need to have two totally different switch out heads especially if they’re going to give it to you don’t want the same one

[@mikestainbrook6311]

Hey Steven Merry Christmas to you and yours Happy holiday stay safe!!

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Merry Christmas!

[@drocksteadyreviews]

That cross eyed portrait 😵‍💫 Jokes aside I thinks for the most part it’s a great piece. Portraits could be better and the switch outs are unnecessary. Best look is definitely with the cables.

[@danielt6861]

Amazing amazing but I already have SS one, what's your thoughts on preview of supergirl and zatanna?

[@night746]

I like lots strength n beauty! Colors detail n showing power mutant absorption n or strength! 🙌

[@NERDXCORE]

Looks good bro. Classic look.

[@BeaaarmaN]

Hey Gem! I'm just wondering, how do you have it so you are in focus all the time as well as the statue itself? I'm starting a review channel but seems that my statue is constantly fading in and out of focus.

[@stacjaemigracja]

Nice statue.

[@whitetiger_ccc]

Cowabunga Geminites 🤙 150k here we come 👊

[@MrMookiejr]

I'm not crazy about the hand switch outs or the lack of expression, but overall this is a nice statue. The jacket is especially well done and I really like the difference in texture on her boots and gloves.

[@cnevels1187]

Awesome reviews but where can I buy that gem mint rotating table 😀

[@ottooctavious3931]

Great review. I thought about acquiring her but imma stick with SS. Is it just me or is she leaning forward a bit?

[@nikchesh8758]

Hey gem, the left foot on mine doesn't sit flush either, about half a cm above the base but not visible unless you take your eyeball level with the foot. I was just gonna accept it as is, as its not really noticeable. You okay with yours?

[@nathanscott1987]

There's elements of this i love like the base and the arm switch outs but I much prefer the sideshow version due to to the dynamic pose and price. Both of them fall short on the portraits though. If there was some way to combine the best elements of the 2 and include a rage portrait we would probably have the best Rogue money can buy.

[@basementbrotherscollectibles]

They got her torso and anatomy right but the portrait switch outs and base connection problems makes it a no-go.

[@trip189n]

I would love a 1/4 scale Savage land Rogue.

[@JM-gc7hz]

Art print gives me the same vibes as the old Sideshow Gambit and Rogue art prints that came with the Rogue Premium Format. It’s the colors and Sentinel theme.

[@teddysmith480]

Dope

[@daabears7534]

Like the face portrait.

[@flintcollectibles]

💎 I agree Gemmint there needs to be more facial expressions in the switch outs 💎. She looked great next to best though 💎. Keep up the great content Gemmint 💎.

[@raymondlefebvre7027]

It's a nice looking piece and I like the 90's feel of it. But I agree there are a few things someone should take into account if looking to get, the switch out faces being too similar and not be flush on the base are the main ones for me. Be Excellent.

[@samstats6496]

I’m only getting this because it’s Rogue. It’s done well but played safe.

[@zekethewise7042]

I hope we see rogue drain captain marvel powers in the MCU like in the comics

[@jrcat2258]

Seal of approval from me!

[@samstats6496]

I saw some paint bleed over the yellow and green on the body. Also the cross eye has been brought up in another unboxing. I hope XM hasn’t rushed this and they sort these issues in the next batch.

[@LesaHumanidad89]

i love it . rogue is just amazing but yeah she need a RAGE MODE face lol she need to be screaming when she batles the sentinels

[@im2smart4u46]

I prefer the sentinel base to the danger room base, but like you I prefer the flying in the sideshow piece. Also, I agree with you that the alternate portrait looks too similar to the first one.

[@kohnhead_3429]

Man I’m all about my DC but your making me want to jump on this X-men line. I’m going to be all over once I jump 😬

[@xellosmetallium8519]

XM Rogue statue had a lot of potential, the original art concept had Rogue flying in this scene set up here, but XM choose to play it safe. So you are right Gem Mint that Rogue here is still missing that something special. It's a good statue, but not great. If Sideshow Rogue was sold out, I could have seen this as a completer for someone X-men collection looking to get out of collecting.

[@flgator97]

She would look better with 2 metal arms but with ripped sleeves like in the comics. For her alternate portrait they should have showcased an additional power like Cyclop's optic blast, Psylocke's butterfly aura, or Emma's diamond skin.

[@nicknimocks1792]

Looks great with the rest of your collection, just shitty it doesn't sit flush though

[@thetigerman]

Nice

[@Bottna]

Good one. To bad about the eye on second head. Looks goofy. 😊

[@munchcleveland]

Pretty cool statue but I still prefer the Sideshow version. I also think that instead of bone claws, it would look better with the regular claws.

[@bluscorpion]

The NMK Rogue is the best I've seen. This is surprisingly pedestrian for XM Studios.

[@griffith.was.a.victim8273]

that one needs a rotating base cus the 🍑is 🔥. micro detail wise, XM is in a different league though. XM poses have always been mediocre but their details is almost always perfection. I would even choose this over SS because of the details itself.

[@matthewmears5710]

Both Xm and SS have their pros and cons. I really like XM's base. I like the OG cartoon look of XM's portraits but agree they should of made the facials expressions more different. Not a fan of the danger room just me. SS exclusive portrait is cool but the regular portrait looks terrible to me doesnt look like Rogue at all. I like the flying aspect of SS. I think Im leaning more to XM with tte switch outs.

[@darkorakix22]

Beautiful piece, don't know if it is better than SS, their is more dynamic, don't know

[@Fentskees]

I love that they sculpted the jacket. I think that looks way better than Sideshow’s tailored jacket. I agree with your nitpicks but overall I like it. Just not at that price

[@bluscorpion]

Rogue usually lacked expression in the cartoons, so I'm not surprised. The comic Rogue that fought the X-Men and waxed their tail has the best expression and haircut of all! Someone needs to do that Rogue. That was before she fought Ms. Marvel and stole her powers.

[@jrox1904]

This is my favorite rogue statue so far it's so hard to get her face right

[@TheWizardjones]

Where can I find that shirt you got on? I needs it.

[@lpfan4life0904]

The only reason I would get this one over the Sideshow one is the fact that both portraits at least kept Rogue's classic look. XM's is nice but Sideshow's has more expression in the portrait, the pose is better, and the overall design looks better. I just can't justify getting the Sideshow one now since her classic look was only available in the exclusive edition which sucks.

[@lanternmatt2002]

in an issue of X-Treme X-Men, Rogue went through a few powers within seconds, one of them was Wolverine. when she did, her hair transformed to match Wolvie's hairstyle, it would be nice to see that portrait there should have been 2 Gambit hands and 2 Wolvie/Colossus hands, so could display her using 3 powers at the same time

[@Auskaa]

Original Rogue looks the best, this statue is nuts.

[@tirrellreed8258]

I respect the call to not give it the seal. I think a lot of reviewers are afraid to critique an XM piece because they don't want to lose their 'street cred'. Now that the Immortalized In Stone guys are gone, there are only a couple guys that will critique an XM or a fanart with no fear. I thought the critiques you gave were fair. A lot of XM's portraits lack emotion. The price as well, shipping costs aside, which is more than the Sideshow offering, so I'd expect more on how she showcases her powers. I think it would've been awesome if instead of the Gambit charged card (which didn't look all that charged up to me if you compare it to XM's Gambit statue) and the smirking portrait, there was an angry portrait with her face and both hands in organic metal mode. Having a metal hand with bone claws doesn't make any sense. As soon as she hits something with those claws they will break when you take her strength into consideration. All that being said, this is another well-produced video Gem.

[@demonspeed7353]

I think you lose street cred when you don't call out legitimate issues with a statue for fear of falling out with the statue producer because you made them look bad, or held them to a higher standard. I respect reviewers that keep it real whether it's good or bad.

[@shimonsieskel4482]

The left eye a tribute to Lisa " left eye" Lopez? Maybe Marty Feldman?

[@theraVen27]

Unashamed, I have a 30yr long crush on a fictional character. Rogue is amazing

[@Kratos1829]

Sideshow's Rogue destroy this.

[@MrSexxxyboy]

Your not trippin when I first saw her the first thought was boring especially compared to sideshow I agree no seal

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

Damn Gem went from Everlast to Adam22? Keep up the weight loss! 💪

[@Fr33climb]

Looks well made, but I’m still preferring the SS Rogue. The entire XM X-men line is just kinda meh in terms of composition. They are all just placed in a similar standing pose on the same vague Sentinel base.

[@samstats6496]

I agree. XM have not done the X-Men justice. Dark Phoenix remains their best piece. Iceman is pretty good, along with storm and cable . But too many average statues in this line or statues with small issues I.e. Cyclops, Mystique, Gambit, Omega Red.

[@spidermancollectibles]

I agree the portraits should have much different facial expressions. I guess it's nice to have two in case one breaks but I see your disappointment. Also, the other two left arm switch outs would be one's I'd never display and be concerned for that price point why they couldn't have the left leg more flush to the base. Beautiful statue nevertheless.

[@DCPatrol]

Rogue is one of my first favorite characters, so she's on this unnatural pedestal for me. Nothing is ever quite good enough for me when it comes to her. Which sucks because I avoid all things Rogue now. This is rad though. I love that base!

[@supermiguelYT]

Yeah I agree with you gem 💎 it’s kinda the price tag and she is kinda not showing her power as much as the sideshow piece. Ain’t gonna lie it looks good. But I agree 💯 with you.

[@ezekielcaselton5842]

1. Sideshow Batgirl 2. Sideshow Wonder Woman I don't think I'll ever get a XM Studios piece They are so expensive

[@TimothyLau55]

It looks pretty good. Love SS's pose and base more, but I do like XM's overall look. None of the power works for me mean no value. It's a tie, so I am not going to pay almost double for her.
