Unboxing the X-Men Age of Apocalypse Diorama from Iron Studios!

[@realdopecomics]

😂 everytime Gem can’t get a statue to peg in, he looks at the camera like “Yall not about to catch me slipping again like spiderman 2099”

[@GemMintCollectibles]

lol needed to collect myself

[@theflyingninja1]

I remember that. "I'm motherf***ing mad as hell, y'all". Classic Gem moment.

[@kalobhunt9001]

So glad you came back to your old content man. Miss your reviews so much. I don’t collect statues so I get to live through you and Mr X.

[@MuhammadIlham-rn6qz]

loving the old school reviews, longer vids are more for me.

[@chrischreative2245]

Old school gem mint is back 😀

[@StevenBassett-q5i]

😂 The look on my wife's face when she overheard inbred Hulk children. Keep the videos coming, man, I'm loving them.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

That’s what peaked Phie’s interest. I mentioned it to someone on the phone. Lol

[@funkadelicacy2153]

Idk about everyone else but I appreciate the minty fresh close ups 💎

[@charlesdeal8981]

Awesome video. Your face when that piece broke had me rolling because we've all been there. Keep them coming.

[@Somniuh]

this style of review is way more entertaining and engaging! love the gem mint renaissance that’s happening

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Me too!

[@michaelsicilia]

Does anyone else find it impossible to watch the “new” OG format and not hear the unboxing theme song in their head? I’ve been indoctrinated 😮😂💎 Great vid Comfy Mint!

[@NIRDSTUFF]

Rogue laid out with the 80’s R&B pose like Michael Jackson 😂

[@realdopecomics]

😂

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Laid tf out!

[@c.h.5510]

"Make a channngggggeeee!" 😂

[@DanMcCullough-v3k]

Old Gem Mint is back.

[@J-212]

I feel you. Unfortunately the heat has me wearing a man bun lately too 😂

[@GemMintCollectibles]

😆

[@hballouz]

thanks Gem for your videos and for your contributions to this hobby

[@SlightlyTired]

First comic appearance breakdown and then you have a classic unboxing. Great video!

[@gilmo5994]

I kept seeing this apocalypse in the background. Awesome!

[@jay-rev]

Bro - hate hate HATE on that Colossus…but Weapon-X coming thru with the W - bigtime! Would LOVE this set in my office…

[@cloane85]

I dunno for some reason you have been off my feed for YEARS now. Odd that you went back to an "old" format and it brought me back in the algorithm? I've not seen the new format, but this is where it all started for me years ago watching you unbox statues. Really enjoy this type of content brotha.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

The algo knows

[@scottyarm]

“He goes crazy…kills his wife…it was cool!” 😂

[@Monkey_Boy9602]

He wasn't really crazy. Colossus had just found out his sister was still alive, and she was about to sacrifice herself to save the original timeline, and he became so distraught that when Kitty stepped in-between him and saving Illyanna, he ran right over her without thinking about it. Gambit was able to kill him because he was distracted by the grief of what he'd just done. At least that's how I saw it. I did indeed enjoy it. Awesome set up! (You took Rogue being broken better than I would have!) I wish that I could afford to collect statues like that. I collect BAFs, for the most part, but I do have a few. Like a Sideshow Baby Hellboy faux-bronze statue that The Wife bought me for Valentine's Day over a decade ago (got it signed by Ron Perlman himself, as you can see from my profile pic); a small Howard the Duck one that she bought me simply because I said, "Cool!" when I saw it; and a small Applause Jabba the Hutt statue. I don't know if Heroclix count, but I do have the SDCC exclusive Colossal Fin Fang Foom and Colossal Galactus (with the alternate head without his helmet) game pieces.

[@luisrosero1059]

Another great unboxing Gem. Apocalypse still my favorite X-Men villain.

[@comicfanagain8405]

Love these ol skool unboxing… I can watch these all day loll

[@arcaderunner2188]

I had fit problems with Iron Studios’ 1/10 TMNT range. Just heat the peg with a hair dryer first, prob takes a min or two of heat about 10cm from the peg (cover the rest with a light towel to avoid heating the whole statue). Then insert and remove a few time to get the peg / hold to reshape.

[@The_Hero113]

Jimmy Mint, Gem Mint, Hard Times John Cena Gem Mint and now Nice Mint. Man this Gem verse is going to be crazy.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

😂

[@VictorIAlava]

The OG Gem is back!!

[@flacoakaflacs]

My guy back with the statues and My favorite reviews... X -Men Baby 💯

[@BloodBathhhh]

I don’t own any statues but I like watching these type of videos amazing collection they all look great one day I hope to get my hands on a joker statue 🃏

[@rrahll]

Thanks for awesome unboxing! I'm glad you're having unboxings again!

[@terryhrach9450]

That last reveal was sick I think I’d buy the apocalypse but to find the room for it 🤔

[@agentmobius8458]

Thank you for gently tossing the styrofoam, Nicepool. 😂

[@shazam2323]

don't love Rogue's face but the weapon x wolverine is sick

[@GemMintCollectibles]

She has the worst portrait of them all

[@NIRDSTUFF]

I’m pissed watching this lol had I realized how much bigger the apocalypse was than the rest of the statues I would’ve jumped on these

[@anubusx]

Awesome unboxing.

[@FPJones2.0]

This is actually beautiful

[@eprohoda]

good job. till next time! 🤩

[@rrahll]

As always awesome Diorama from Iron Studios!

[@jamesc5976]

loving the OG unboxing!

[@superzeronoelvalencia1361]

I SERIOUSLY cannot get enough of Iron Studios statues! They are straight Destroying the entry statue game . Great video Gem , You're the BEST! i had to come back to tell you that shirt kicks Ass!

[@GemMintCollectibles]

🙌

[@michaelsicilia]

Looks at camera, whispers “The Proposal” 😂💎🥐

[@GemMintCollectibles]

😂

[@Dragomo-David]

Thanks for the video. Love you unboxing you the master of unboxing statues.😂😂😂 let the other ones eat their heart out because they can’t do that 😂😂 the Comic police 😂😂 muchas gracias

[@mikestainbrook6311]

Hell ya Iron studios kicking ass again!!

[@nicknimocks1792]

Awesome piece even with the qc issues!

[@JustJerryPodcast]

Ahhh yess these are the videos that got me hooked

[@GemMintCollectibles]

🙌

[@Future-Classic-Cars]

The top knot looks sick. I'm growing my hair out the same funnily enough with an fade/under cut.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Hiding my greys lol

[@Future-Classic-Cars]

@@GemMintCollectibles Haha same! I'm 37 they're coming in fast on the sides! Anyways great vid bro.

[@Pachinosin]

😂 I love that you’re self aware of the bun. Let the haters make videos about you cuz they ain’t you and want to be you! Love the review as usual. You and your statue reviews made me expand my collection.

[@night746]

Amazing set up ❤❤❤

[@Eclectic_City]

bro... this video has the vibe of your OG videos when I first found yall in 2019! Very Covid-lock down feels.

[@Notfritenite]

Super dope review, love to see the unboxings and assembly. I actually watched your Hulk vid the other day and Immediately ordered the Red Hulk version and it feels good to get back in the hobby after a long break from collecting.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Welcome back! Red hulk is in transit here as well

[@irishalucard8448]

Reboxed just for the video, my man 👏

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Sacrifice!

[@lucaspate2527]

What ?!??? No glass shattering and cats shrieking when you throw the foam ??????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Honestly, you gotta add that back in…. When you unboxed that Hulk yesterday, I was cracking up.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Haha didn’t want to play it out

[@winterwolf2164]

Gem, IIRC, Apocalypse does his growth thing in Amazing X-Men 3 or 4. Awesome set! I hope they bring so many more characters from that line. I appreciate you doing this video-I’m still waiting on Magneto from BBTS.

[@SilverKen15]

what an incredible piece

[@DeadpoolTalks-hn8xr]

Yes love the old style vids mate. Definitely stick to this format going forward Love from Glasgow, Scotland!

[@cubannel12]

Isn't it always the case that when you excitedly open the box to put everything together, you encounter eather breakages or in this case difficulty in assembling the pieces together. Heart aches of collectors. Loved the video. Hopefully your able to find the issue with the Rogue and get her properly upright. The whole Diorama looks very sharp. Thank you for doing this video and sharing it with us.

[@JMAGEEK]

Locura máxima ❤❤

[@Deadjoker92]

Another day of good content. Thanks gem 👍

[@royalylockdup6736]

Hell Yeah I enjoyed this video Gem. That diorama is Amazing!

[@Marflets1]

So glad youre bringing back the old sty le vids! I know you did some quick closeups in the end but i do miss the detail super closeup looks when you unbox if you can bring some of that back in too!

[@ElaztikaVR]

Nice, I like your videos and passion, as well as looking at really cool pop-culture statues

[@Troyjanwarrior1]

APOCALYPSE always had the ability to grow large.He did it in the cartoons in the 90s and did it in many of the comics I read.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Yea true… just didn’t remember specifically in AoA

[@TheLinusLounge]

Ngl this type of unboxing is so entertaining and funny 😂 don't get me wrong, the clean-cut unboxings are always great. I actually watched the proximity unboxings, still just as good

[@cappscave]

Yo, no BS, you already look like you're enjoying the content you're making more than you have in a minute.

[@luisclaudio5249]

Woooou, seeing each of your videos is a great inspiration for me not to give up my dream of collecting. Obviously on a very small scale due to the economy. But it is always a great pleasure to see you open such beautiful pieces. Greetings from Peru.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Been tough for me too! Hopefully things get better soon

[@KingDarkcross]

Got any standard size 1/4 to pair the Apocalypse against? Curious to see how he would look.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

New hulk is way bigger

[@KingDarkcross]

@@GemMintCollectibles too bad was hoping he would pair with 1/4 X-Men.

[@clsrocks007]

Next season of shogun- gem mint san

[@MyFacepalm]

Yooooo!!!! This def gives me og gemmint vibes🔥💪🏻

[@mikestainbrook6311]

Thats Waaariors come out to plaaaayyya

[@berkfamily54]

Love that set

[@comicbookboy1989]

I won't ever buy a statue, but this is pretty dope. Thanks for the video.

[@timschutte3961]

Very dope man!!

[@Chris-cc5bk]

It's such a cool set! I hate that you couldn't get Rogue to key in properly that was such a bummer to watch it get chipped in the process. I think Apocalypse is my favorite out of all of them though! Great video though Gem!

[@benniemartin78]

Man I was so tempted to pick all these up, but seeing how big Apocalypse is I don’t know that they’d be worth the amount of space they’d all take up. Looks great though.

[@MannyKage_]

Laid up in the cut watching a statue unboxing in the background, life is good again👌🏽

[@GemMintCollectibles]

🙌

[@Randy-ry9ss]

A Dremel does a bang up job for smoothing out edges!

[@Riceburner427-x8q]

😂 stop being reckless. Nah, that's a highlight, showing how fun and exciting unboxing still is

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Yea I much prefer when they key in to make a scene, it’s much better when you see them in their action pose, like the first Sentinel statue where each one of the X-Men was doing damage to the Sentinel. When you just scatter them around and it doesn’t really look like much is going on then it’s a letdown.

[@OhhhG44]

Gem you crazy man. Reboxing unboxing at least you getting in them gains

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Had to do it for the channel

[@ryanclark6602]

I wish they would just have an ongoing comic that chronicles the time after Xavier gets killed and everything that leads up to the age of apocalypse we were introduced to to once bishop showed up.

[@c.h.5510]

Cannon: Magneto and Rogue had a early fling in the savage Land issues.. Lee and Claremont 😂

[@anthonygarcia8749]

Gem over here training to be a samurai lol. Love the dope vid 🔥

[@pravarshanmurugasen2641]

Had the same problem with the Magneto I received. Feels like you have to force it and it still doesn’t fit flush or properly. My Weapon X was also a pain to attach to the base but was less of an issue. Wonder why they weren’t easy to assemble.

[@precodepalace]

fun video. thanks gem.

[@PaulEly-j7r]

Those are awsome wow

[@RobMarkman]

here for the BAD BOY pun lol

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Haha

[@Riceburner427-x8q]

Once again another great video 🎉

[@terryhrach9450]

That thing is cool man 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Dejastu]

I love this channel

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Love you back

[@geraldlee7055]

It was a very painful and frustrating 😞 statue unveiling. I feel for you, Gem Mint 💎. But you made the best of it and finished the video!😊🎉

[@B-HAHA]

Damn, Apocalypse way outta size to everyone else

[@leviathan_is_me]

Don't wanna be that guy... I'm about to be that guy.... Weapon X lost his hand to Cyclops, yes... still had the claws in his forearm, though. They pop out still.

[@Tmntstatueenthusiast]

Awesome video man

[@michaelhaynes3482]

Kind of a cluster for ya lol. It's such a bummer when things don't key in when unboxing the first time. Kind of brings down the excitement. Does look cool on the shelf, but agree with your earlier comment about wishing it all keyed together like the other Xmen one.

[@TopdoggBay_Bullies-vc3co]

Awesome video, keep em coming much love from the Bay Area

[@philcamacho127]

Amazing diorama. I hope you were able to get the two figures replaced after the vid. Very cool concept, but I still like a bit more the 1:10 classic Sentinel X-men diorama you showed & own with the 3 different scenes. That was truly dope! 😊

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Hard to beat those for sure

[@marcjaikaran714]

Great review, I'm still a bigger fan of the sentinel dioramas however X-men rock!!

[@ajguez]

These are really good. Thanks

[@estergym5083]

My rogue did fit.

[@nicholascottingham8360]

Disappointed that you never zoomed in for us to look at all the details of each figure 😂. I've waited on you to a unboxing video of this set and truly wanted to see each figure all the way around,they have been painted beautifully shame we couldn't appreciate it more sir.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Check out the end!

[@FaithfulSteve]

Looks dope! Yeah that turn table isn’t big enough surprisingly lol. Yeah that storm portrait is definitely HB inspired. Now that you saw DP&W it’s cooler to have AoA Wolverine. Yeah get those changes out. Is that a first for you?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Yea perfect time for AoA Wolvie. The 3 messed up pieces are currently out of stock 😞

[@FaithfulSteve]

@@GemMintCollectibles that’s sucks!!!

[@TheTripp1989]

Classic Iron studios I remember trying to piece together Mojo took about 10 hours lol

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Mojo was a problem. Quicksilver too
