ABOUT THIS STATUE
“In the end, as always, Thanos will stand triumphant.”
Sideshow presents the Thanos (Classic & Modern Version) Statue, eager to face the heroes of the Avengers Assemble Statue Collection.
Inspired by some of Marvel’s most iconic comic book characters, the 1:5 scale Avengers Assemble collection captures the colorful and battle-ready styles of Earth’s Mightiest heroes- and now, their greatest foe!
The polyresin Thanos (Classic Version) Statue measures 23” tall, as the Mad Titan stands triumphantly atop the wreckage of Avengers Tower. Inspired by his classic comic book appearance, Thanos wears a fully sculpted vibrant blue bodysuit with detailed metallic yellow armor. Wielding the mighty Infinity Gauntlet, which includes a light-up feature for the Infinity Stones, this nigh-unstoppable villain will prove that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are no match for the ultimate cosmic overlord.
The Thanos Statue also includes two purple portraits of the deviant Eternal, one featuring his signature wicked grin as he gazes up at his powerful gauntlet, the other with a grimace as he looks forward at his incoming foes. Pair Thanos with the heroes of the Avengers Assemble collection, including Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, and the Hulk to create an epic battle scene in your universe of Marvel Collectibles.
When the dust settles, who remain standing? Come and get the Thanos Statue for your Marvel collection today!

[@anubusx]

This does put a smile on my face.

[@noey99]

This is a close one but I’m gonna go with the comic version. That more of a yellowish color stands out for me.

[@arohamusic4801]

The classic is a solid piece. But I gotta go with that Modern honestly.

[@theinferno18]

Gem, your videos are becoming more sophisticated in terms of visuals, transitions, even your voiceovers, mad props to you for that. Keep hustling brotha.

[@vitoferrante1]

I'm surprised there aren't more paint issues. As a kit builder and painter, I'm amazed at the job these companies do at scale. A few paint chips or irregularities should almost be the norm. It's super hard to paint at that quality level and make it perfect. I'm always looking for videos on what the factory looks like as they paint these. You'd be amazed. Great video, Gem!

[@ericjohnson9642]

Bowen Designs was superb about avoiding paint issues throughout all their lines for over a decade. Still unsurpassed for quality control.

[@vitoferrante1]

@@ericjohnson9642 I would love to see videos on how these are done at scale. There just aren't any good You Tube videos on the process.

[@halfdrawnpe]

Thank you Josh and Jess Phelps for helping provide this double statue review. I really like both of these statues a lot. I think I like the modern version just a little bit more, but the comic version would look better with my collection so I'd lean to that.

[@kingtchalla2289]

Modern version, for me. He looks more menacing and realistic, especially with the grin.

[@TheShape287]

The sculpt is amazing. I’m digging the modern look more, l feel the details just pop more.

[@deerealhino69]

With the side by side I think I’m leaning towards the comic version even though the modern has incredible paint application in regards to the shading in the body which looks great but I just love the comic version because that’s what I know Thanos to look like

[@vicanaya2764]

Hey gem, thanks for taking the time to show us both of them,but I think I'm on the side of going with the modern version. I do however think they're both awesome pieces, once again thanks.

[@waltcee]

Damn, that modern version tho.

[@harma.3162]

The hands on both of these are is what stands out for me .... love the light up features

[@SBAVoltronProdt]

The light up gauntlets are such a nice touch. They both look amazing it so hard to pick which one I like more

[@Sylvaniaf91]

Loving the light up gauntlet on both.

[@erikmillman1575]

These are way cooler than I originally thought!

[@FallenHeroEM1]

Huge fan of the comic Thanos. I'll always lean in the comic direction.

[@TheMakina285]

Besides the small blemish on the face this thing is amazzzzzzing!! The colors and light up glove is super sick.

[@deerealhino69]

Thank you for the video Gem 💎 this was much needed for me!!

[@ghostshadowcollectibles2256]

Love the smiling portrait and have to go with the classic comic look

[@toeknee1505]

Great video, where you compare the two, and we can judge for ourselves which one to buy. Great job!

[@deerealhino69]

I’ve needed this video so I can make up my mind on which one I truly want!

[@robbvanderstoel7725]

It’s a closer race than I expected, but slightly prefer the comic version. And I prefer the smiling version looking at the gauntlet, but it’s still too bad about the paint issue on the other one.

[@chadcilley]

I've got to go with the modern version. The shading with the paint apps really make the details and musculature pop!! Thanks for another awesome video.

[@canthris]

SWEET! I was able to grab a classic version for the collection. Love that classic blue and gold. It really pops. Got to run with the smiling portrait man

[@greenlantern1123]

Old school Thanos gets my vote . Both fantastic

[@sadctheclown]

For me, this is hands down the comic version, I love the bright contrast in colours, it just really pops!

[@brads7776]

The classic version is definitely the way to go IMO. That blue just pops.

[@Prmeupct]

Mine should be here tomorrow. International shipping took a while, but can't wait for this.

[@Novasonic23]

Thanks so much for making this video. I've been debating between both. I like both for different reasons.

[@danielt6861]

Two great versions, now we need this in 1/4!!

[@michaelsicilia]

For just a second, I thought it was “classic Gem” standing next to “modern Gem”

[@brendenbianchini5868]

Comic version for sure!!!! Awesome comparison and breakdown! Stay Minty!

[@jedimasterpereira]

Great review, like how you did the side-by-side. Both look great and if you are a fan of either version you won’t be disappointed. Personally, I like the comic version. Those colors, the blue and yellow are classic. Thanks!

[@andreweverett]

Appreciate what you do man, good stuff

[@Tonngu403]

The modern slightly edges the win for me with the paint apps having more depth in the gold, giving it a realistic metal look. And the body seems to have more shading.

[@SammyWatsit]

2 dope pieces for real 💯

[@davecironelibrarykid]

That smiling face is super sinister -- that's the one I'd use!

[@SamuelCPoon]

Thanks for the comparison. I went with modern myself.

[@woofy1991]

Modern FTW! Shading look great on that piece.

[@hussienmohaidly]

That classic Vibe hit differently

[@reaperscomicden6982]

With the individual pieces I like the modern more, but all put together, the comic version just pops!

[@pererajulian]

They both look so good, I don’t know if I could decide which one is best

[@WrathoftheHan]

Very old school, just perfect.

[@davidhiltebrand3987]

Thanks, I like these comparison vids.

[@moamir]

Love the comic version! Color just pops!!

[@nwrightization]

Classic look for sure.

[@rozebad1]

Both are equally great, just for different reasons. Great review!!

[@DivineWind95]

I gotta lean towards the comic version of Thanos. Looks so good! Always a great video, Gem. Mad love.

[@aberger1982a]

Love the modern, but would be happy with either one!

[@charlesdalrymple3451]

Amazing! I can’t decide, I love them both!

[@OhhhG44]

I still gotta stay old school gem. It’s the blue and gold.

[@deerealhino69]

Out of both head sculpts I definitely prefer the red eyed grinning Thanos that thing is awesome!

[@HarriisMo]

LOVE that comic version!

[@aldogg187211]

I'm going with the comic version. Reminds of the rams jerseys when they went from yellow to gold lol

[@stevepineda6252]

Classic looks dope as hell! Definitely prefer the comic look and how well the paint was done

[@genghisgalahad8465]

Classic: Grrrr! Modern: GRRR! As much as the burnished gold of the modern is badass, the classic has that popping bright yellow seems signature!

[@silas34]

The classic version looks great on its own, but next to the modern, it looks like a before and after, like the classic version is just painted with primer before it gets the gold finish and shading. I don't have any statues, but I'd probably choose whichever fit with the rest of the collection, cause they're both very nice.

[@MrFish86]

Gotta go with the comic version. Love that yellow!

[@giodimaggio7478]

I love the classic Thanos statue. Great vid

[@AyoTonio]

Love the look of the comic piece hella badass

[@aceslx]

Ahhh. I think they both look great! I think the comic one shines more for me, but I love the modern color for the gauntlet

[@daabears7534]

Love them both!

[@mitybig]

Comic book version. Love the yellow.

[@Luna_ily_F]

That gold paintjob just pops so much more imo

[@eliottmason8085]

You could say they are both "perfectly balanced, as all things should be" in how great they look! Personally, I'd lean slightly more towards the modern look but you're definitely right about the color contrast and pop that the comic accurate version has.

[@winterwolf2164]

These both look great-I prefer the modern version with him smiling at the guantlet-captures that classic comic feel for Thanos.

[@ericjohnson9642]

Superb video, BTW. Shows both off really well.

[@krishtewari4008]

I like the modern version slightly more. Great double unboxing and review!

[@manuelharper1155]

That is cool I like the light of gloves

[@collectorscreed]

I think the choice of preference may depend on how you were introduced to Thanos. Some folks maybe newer and come from the movies to comics and prefer the modern one since it does have some cinema similarity. But some folks may have been fans of Thanos from the comics since day one and may prefer the more comic version. Its really a hard call for me. I guess I lean toward the comic version.

[@mikestorr2010]

I am still a sucker for the classic versions, they both look great but man the Yellow and Blue is awesome!

[@edwinzelaya2927]

Thanks for making a comparison video, I think I'm leaning towards the modern version a little more.

[@sammomin6226]

I have Thanos on Throne but would love to buy the modern one you just reviewed...

[@james.96]

Definitely a close call!

[@Joe_Olivo]

Classic for sure

[@ParkerThwips]

I like that modern look!

[@jerretzwicker599]

Tough call. I really like both.

[@thetigerman]

These statues are both amazing

[@BuddhaNinja]

Thanos with that big bright bling, bling! We know you got a book of bars, Gem..When are you gonna flow? Another Great review!

[@josecrespo3437]

It’s awesome that you had both to compare them side by side. I like the modern version better. Really nice 🤙

[@radintodd7027]

Love both of them, though the modern version is a bit more detailed

[@TruSavage62]

Both are dope! Almost went with the modern but got the XM Thanos instead.

[@nikoladimitrijevic9713]

Man, both are great!

[@oggy350]

They are good looking pieces. I ended up cancelling my modern version due to continual delays. I might re-order again in future

[@0MG.Youtube]

Super dope. Need both of these to go with my new Thanos tattoo 😛

[@adamb8103]

That fade at 0:56 🔥

[@ThomasCrown17]

Nice. Since I got the modern bust i think the classic is for me

[@jamesdwhite873]

I really like the classic. Reminds me of playing Marvel Super Heros back in the arcades.

[@miciahbrown808]

It’s real close for me too but I gotta go comic Thanos. There’s just something about those classic colors

[@revocation3x]

They do both look great, i'm kinda digging the classic more though

[@Reighnman]

These are so good… still can’t decide which I prefer.

[@alonsovilla4768]

The old school comic look is clean👌🏼

[@tmdao89]

Damn that’s tough, they both look dope

[@jamesperry8101]

Either one is cool with me, both realky cool

[@TK-421_66]

I did the darker blue more but both are amazing

[@stevescollectibles3460]

I personally like the classic version better but both of them definitely make me smile

[@HollowWanderer1]

Love that comic look

[@asogliuzzi7851]

I would be happy with either one as long as there was no QC issue like your comic version

[@JOSETORRES0710]

They are both dope

[@MrDandaspdrman]

Love em both

[@scondon123]

I really like the extra contrast of the comic versions
