Pop Culture Shock REPTILE from Mortal Kombat 1/3 Scale Statue Unboxing & Review

[@jamesobrien1614]

That is so bad ass. I have always been overly obsessed with Reptile. The only time I wasn't obsessed was when he was in his lizard form. But the ninja version will always be the best.

[@Poundz978]

I always loved the reptile song.. when he showed up in the mortal kombat movie ...

[@Redvibetribe]

I know a while back you said your MK reviews don't get a lot of views but I personally appreciate them. I am a huge MK fan as well and this review actually helped me purchase my first piece from Side Show which happened to be this Reptile statue. I know this video has been out for awhile, but I just wanted to tell you I appreciate your channel and again thank you for helping me purchase my first piece. Hope you see this. Take care and continue to do great things with this channel.

[@Boomer8003]

I remember when the first voltron action figure came out and was made of metal, seeing the detail back then for the first time as a kid was amazing.

[@childoftheatom9030]

I remember playing this game with my brother when it came out. We must have filled the machine with quarters. Then...mom saw what we were playing. She was not thrilled but the damage had been done. Mortal Kombat was and will always be special to me. The good old days. Blood. Gore. Violence. Everything was on point! Happy you like yours dude. I’m gonna go be minty fresh. ✌🏼

[@TH3SLEEPING]

Hands down reptile has the best theme, that room set up is dope

[@FailedYouTuber333]

I really like how you admire the statue. You can really tell you appreciate it.

[@DEATHANDSADDNESS]

Looks like you have a beautiful collection! Outstanding! 👍

[@Ntron475]

Reptile was always my favorite. Just something about the green costume I love.

[@LoneWolf-vi7jh]

What would make it more sweeter is if since he got the reptile head and slim hands they should have gave him reptile arms to fit and go with the head.

[@OMGITSMIKE]

Savage piece bud, I always enjoy you’re reviews. Very humble and down to earth keep up the good work.

[@crkst]

That other reptile you got in the back is dope asf! And the ermac in that same generation are dope

[@comicgalaxy788]

Your reviews keep getting better Gem! I'm loving your Mortal Kombat setup.

[@luxul1879]

Ed Boon brought me here. 😎 Sick video and GORGEOUS statue! Jaw dropping to say the least. Good stuff!

[@thestruggler777]

Great statue. Reptile was always my favourite MK character to use.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

same

[@CickNon]

That’s a badass statue. I love the other MK3 statues on the shelf in the back.

[@brentlevanen2252]

I can admit that I’m only a casual fan when it comes to Mortal Kombat but that statue is badass 😮 Great video Gem 💎

[@berto0757]

remember seeing someone fight him in 711 back of the day. i was mesmerized when all of the sudden he appeared.

[@bioarmor79]

Mortal Kombat II has always been my personal fav in the series by far...great vid man I subbed...GOD bless.

[@PredatorCollectibles]

I'm also a Mortal Kombat fan, but not sure if I will ever be able to add those three into my collection based on all the Predator stuff that is/will be coming out for the rest of this year and next. I even have a Mortal Kombat tattoo which was my second tattoo I ever got as well.

[@brancojeff]

Wow... that reptile is dope! Money well spent brotha. The statues in the background look sick!

[@mannyr1823]

Great Reptile review bro I still play Mortal Kombat classics till this day luv the design on the original Reptile definitely looking forward to your next video...🐲

[@GeoManRaddTitan]

Best of the 3 easily!! Great job on this brother!

[@fabtekk]

Man! Great review .... But you truly nailed it with that song in the background! God Damn that song is so sick even after 23 years since the MK1 movie release.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

gets my hype everytime...only one that tops it is Mooooortal Koooombaaaat!

[@RedSighted]

Ed Boon tweeted out your video!

[@georgerustic3817]

ah man you rock! thats just awesome' thanks mortal kombat was my childhood.

[@pushinsince9339]

I like how you put the mini clips in the vid while you were talking about it lol

[@LiviNsiN]

Got this piece..Skull switch out with the acid hands looks crazy displayed 👍🏻 dope review u inspired me to get it

[@miklovelka8227]

Was my favorite mortal kombat character when I was a kid

[@MaxPowerHouse23]

Thanks Gem Mint! Just picked him up based on your review; picked him up on SSC’s website for Cyberweek at a great discount and free shipping. He will go well with my 1/3 Goro when he comes in. Not picking up the other Ninjas though I do love those characters and all the other characters in the MK universe but not going down that collectible rabbit hole ha ha. I’m good with Goro and Reptile, Goro being the OG boss and Reptile being the hidden character from the OG game that too me completes my MK collectibles itch. Thanks again, great review as always🤜. 🖖 Max Power

[@GemMintCollectibles]

congrats man

[@MaxPowerHouse23]

Gem Mint Collectibles Thank you, sir!

[@TheModelVault]

Great review, love the personal story in the beginning!

[@yolocrayolod6668]

Men reptile its my fauvorite character in mk, his human form for me looks better than lizard

[@billlumburg7594]

Most impressive, "Perfection is the key" 👍🏽

[@ernierobison3381]

Thank you for the great breakdown of the Reptile statue. It’s been more than a New York minute since it was practical timing to collect miscellaneous comic/video game paraphernalia, but I’m finally at a point where I can. We’re similar in that I was playing Street Fighter as well when Mortal Kombat landed on the scene. Then it was all about the Fatality baby! Before I knew it, there were tournaments across the US and I was moppin up some peeps. Those were the days! There’s a lifetime difference between the original and MK X though. The math and strategy involved is plain sick and head spinning! Regardless, there’s no substitute for the origins, where we were fortunate enough to be present for. Badass collection by the way! Obviously I can’t see all of your stash, but what is visible within the video is quite impressive. Count me in as a new subscriber:)

[@atlaseca]

Nice vid. Never seen somone use a turntable . keep it up

[@Area-gi9ln]

I like all 3 together very nice piece..congrats.

[@Jinkazamacruz]

Happy they had sub zero in SS now to get the other 2 , amazing 💎 , great vid

[@FabledHeroes3351]

Damn man that is soooooo freaking cool I can’t believe you got it!

[@KaijuSupreme42069]

My guy, your room set up is fucking GOALSSSSSSSSSSSS.

[@adamrose3139]

They should make the base a storage for the extra arms and heads... I didn't even know stuff like this existed. Would be cool to have but I have nowhere to display it.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

true

[@OfficeArcade]

Really excited to finally get one of these under retail!

[@Bitplex]

Awesome video! It's also really humbling to hear that you're actually a big MK fan too. It's great that your collectables have a place in your heart beyond their collectors value. You seem really down to earth. Ed Boon (MK's creator) recently shared of of my MK videos (I reimagine what retro games would look like if they were made in 3D back in their day) it was a true dream to have his input and support. If you ever get curious and want to add another interesting MK vid to one of your playlists etc, you're welcome to check it out on my channel. I wouldn't usually mention cross-promo stuff in a comment but it seemed relevant. All the best love your vids!

[@GemMintCollectibles]

thats funny, i just went to your channel and ive actually watched that video before.

[@Bitplex]

Gem Mint Collectibles wow that's crazy!

[@Punisher6654]

Very nice, I can't wait when you get your new Goro statue and see that unboxing.

Sick shit. he's my favorite MK character. His theme song is badass

[@jsalsa2369]

Great review Gem, congrats on your new piece.

[@jameskendrick5835]

That piece is awsome gem. The reptile head looks amazing. I agree he should have the hood in his hand with the mask but its ok. Still looks dope man. 👍

[@MCECentral]

Ah shit! You got that MK music!! lol MORTAL KOMBAT!!!! Gonna have to let this ride today at work.

[@jeremyg371]

He's cool G-Man, I would use the lizard head though. Thx and have a wonderful day.

[@Max_Vicious]

Reptile and Baraka are my faves characters ever, if you have a Baraka statue, i would LOVE to see a review of it.

[@السيدالموسوي-و9ن]

I am from iraq i love your figures ,you are creat

[@RyanByrne311]

Man the eye on the base looks fantastic. I'm not an MK fan but this is a great piece.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

"not an MK fan" I dont think we can be friends anymore.

Well... we gave it a shot... it's wasn't me, it's you...

The way we gets treated now smh. Favorite MK character. Can’t find this statue anywhere. Kudos

[@sirbubbles5506]

Recently you said you didn't like these 1/3 statues and made a comment about PCS dropping the ball. If you feel that way I'll buy all 3 and that reptile in da background. Lemme know.

Sir Bubbles already sold em all

i only have one piece left for sale...the custom Morbius

[@Lee-go1ss]

Growing up it was hard to play mortal kombat cuz we didn’t have much money an rarely went to the mall but when we did the arcade was the only place me an my brothers wanted to be cuz of this game. That song is badass along with a fast paced fight scene in the first movie. Whooping liu kangs ass. Lol

[@Chriseaten]

Congrats on the pick up Stephen but you had a point on Jorge’s chat I like mortal combat don’t get me wrong but you need to get that doomsday with the justice league lineup bro

[@swizard0922]

Good day to you bro!! Great video. I wanted to know how is the best way to dust my statues and the area around my statues, without the possibility of breaking something. What do you use? Let me know when you have some time. Thanks!✌️

[@HonkeyKong54]

I wanted to get this line but missed out. Resell market is ridiculous unless im looking in the wrong spot.

[@freddierodriguez2608]

Man I just started collecting last year; but I wish I have those 3 ninjas. It's hard to collect because there's constant new statues coming out on the regular and most times better every time you know. I got the avengers assemble line from SS but the wasp I didn't like that one. I've the wolverine brown costume and and waiting on Miles Morales SS one. I'm getting the TMNT cartoons version from PCS and the cartoons version of Transformers lines. I'm going to get broke on this hobby lol. What do you think about how my collection is going? Would like to know your opinion. I want to get realistic pieces but the comic version. Although I am getting cartoons versions because that's how I remember my childhood, you know!!

[@GemMintCollectibles]

thats the key. Get pieces that have meaning to you. Try not to get caught up in "hype" pieces that you dont really have a connection with.

[@freddierodriguez2608]

True, true. Thank you for the quick response G!

[@Gggeeoorrggee]

i seen the scorpion 1:3 protype years ago and was in awe. he looked so real. Now that i got em, i like him but dont get that feeling when i see it. The details are scaled back alot, people that are pissed have a right to be.

[@childoftheatom9030]

GZILLA I could not agree more. I saw it at nycc 2014 too. You nailed how I feel about them. Happy to have them but it’s not even close to what it was supposed to be.

[@NightCrwler]

Hey! Where i can find Mileena Statue? MK2, MK3, MKX?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Jorge pop culture shock only made an MK3 Mileena in 1/4 scale and current has MKX Mileena available for pre order. Check out sideshowtoy.com

[@jasong5127]

Hey G you're my number one Statue reviewer and as such I got a quick question for you. Are the heads on these 1/3 scales all interchangeable? The reason I ask is there are three reptile heads for sale on eBay and I want to buy them but I'm just not sure if they're compatible with Sub-Zero and Scorpion 1/3 ports. Thanks a lot for letting me know

[@GemMintCollectibles]

im not sure... i ended up selling these, so cant test for ya...

This is a cool statue... The price dropped, so in your opinion, Do you think for $599 brand new, free shipping. Is a good bargain for what it is? Thank you!

[@Max_Vicious]

I love it

[@prezveckster5348]

Off topic from the video but I was planning on getting a big marvel series as I’ve only been into dc and I was wondering what you thought was better annihilation or avengers by Jonathan Hickman

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Prez Veckster I haven’t finished Hickmans run yet but it has more recognizable characters. Annihilation is dope because it highlights lesser known characters and is a great Marvel Cosmic story.

[@Tim6871-i1x]

I use LED strip lights from Home Depot.

[@jovanyrodriguez44]

I know I'm behind on this, and I hope you or anyone can help me with this situation, but I just bought a reptile today, and the base does not have a number underneath or the logo's. It just plywood. It came with the certificate of authenticity card, but either the packaging box or the card doesn't show which number it is. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Yo I’m diggin this nice bra👍🏾

Hi mate, how much do you think a good price is for a 1/3 goro today is? I have the opportunity to buy a mint AP one with all boxes for $1500 usd.... is it a no brainer of is that current worth?
