Thanos On Throne Exclusive Maquette by Sideshow Collectibles Unboxing & Review

[@TypicalToyReviews]

That disposable income life bruh. Statue dope AF

[@EverythingAlways]

I just bought this! So pumped.

[@nerdman5367]

How is it

[@ShadyDBZ4]

Great review bruh. You’re the only person outside of corporations I follow on KZbin. I like how you are humbled and not some arrogant uppity douche. My Exclusive TOT was delivered today. I’ll open it tomorrow to make sure everything is on point and off to the storage Thanos will go (unfortunately) until I can get a larger crib for me and my daughter. I need that muvafukin man cave my dude. Apartment life sucks balls without enough space to let my collection shine.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Eddie Rivera ayy that’s dope man, thanks for the support. I feel you in storage. I just moved from south Florida to West Texas. I had everything in storage for 4 months. I was still buying pieces and keeping them in the apartment, then boxing them back up. This is by far the most dedicated space I’ve ever had for a man cave. It was something that was a must have when buying our first house out here.

[@ShadyDBZ4]

Gem Mint Collectibles that’s what’s up! Congrats on the move & new crib. Opened ToT today. Mines was 121 of 750. I just needed to make sure he didn’t have any paint issues before putting him back away. Why no Marvel “ Hot Toys “?

[@norsegod2812]

Man the backlog on your channel is absolutely fuckin awesome man I was raised by marvel comics and I love this stuff

[@brucetaylor7871]

NICELY DONE...I really love that you have SPACE so we can actually see the whole box and unboxing!!!

[@GemMintCollectibles]

yea i try to make sure you can see everything

[@saladbowl85]

Its kinda comical, this tatted up gangster dude playing with his toys and looking for his makeup brush. Love it. More power to you ✌️

[@hectorromo326]

Not hating but he's definitely not gangsta just a huge wannabe

[@goldenrule3264]

Hector Romo lmao bro shut up, what u even saying

[@jordanfox3012]

So because he wears baggy shirts and has tattoos he is "gangster"?

[@Haazoo]

Great review. What you said about XM pieces being too manufactured and less like art is so accurate! I always felt that but couldn't word it properly and you just nailed it!

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Amphion yea me neither... just freestyled it. Almost feels like toys.

[@placeyouhide]

another great review! Can't get enough of your videos, Stephen! Congrats on getting Thanos!!! (that box seems bigger than you!)

[@GemMintCollectibles]

thanks brotha. One of the biggest boxes yet!

[@ramtruth3]

Since you from Texas here at Htwn got mines today and is simply amazing can’t stop looking at it. Paint/sculpt/portraits came out perfect just missing one piece on his chest. Supposed to have 4 gold parts from chest to waist. Should be fixable waiting on SS response. Also have the XM Thanos and love it as well but SS Maquette is just to amazing Statue of the year. Congrats

[@GemMintCollectibles]

ram o just made me go look at a pic of mine. Sounds like they’ll need to ship you a new body. But yea man, I’m new to TX, been here about 7-8 months.

[@ramtruth3]

Gem Mint Collectibles the sculpt on my Thanos is great I definitely don’t want a new body and take the risk that one comes out with issues. I just need that one piece so I can just attach myself looks like it’s not a hassle to fix.

[@Jinjin000w]

This looks amazing! I would have preferred Thanos to have been sitting back in his throne with his hands on the armrests though. Just kind of lounging. Think that would have looked better imo.

[@luism7759]

Congrats and great job on the review! Looking forward to getting my exclusive tomorrow. Crossing my fingers for no damage. Congrats again

[@GemMintCollectibles]

thanks bro, congrats

[@tchavezjr]

That is one sweet piece. I have two smaller Thanos statues. I don’t think I could place that monster anywhere in my house. Totally awesome piece!!

[@IamBlackMagic03]

Love this piece. I was fortunate to get him. I've only opened to inspect him but he his still in box. I'm still trying to decide on quality shelving for my statues. I'm relatively new to collecting statues but have amassed a lot in the 2 years I've started collecting

[@maxfury7226]

That’s the Thanos that should’ve been in the movie!

[@Kageofyoutube]

I agree 100%

[@jellowpy9243]

Was in the same position before since i really dont collect Statues but i love Thanos. My friend just keep on bugging me to order it and then sent the link when it went up for PO i hesitated for a min or two then just said fuck it so i ordered the Exclusive version.Lo and behold after few mins it was waitlisted! Damn good thing i listened to my friend

[@23paul52]

My favourite channel RN!!! Always look up for new videos! 😍😍

[@gleenfales]

I just found this video randomly. Not even into action figures or these types of collectibles, but dude youre one cool dude. Super real

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Glenn Fales ay thanks brotha

[@Blake-fg2rd]

Great review!!! Awesome piece I get my EX on Monday.. The Titan is 6'7 and 985lbs I got the XM today and I really like him too!!

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Blake 1980 thanks and congrats on the piece. You’ll love it.

[@xx_day.day0g_xxxx666]

I love this channel nothin but positivity

[@littlejonathorn6860]

Is there a Josh Brolin Statue version of Thanos? Are they going to make one? Does this Thanos Staue come in Josh Brolin form?

[@House_Of_Champs]

This is the first time Ive seen Sideshow hands down beat XM. XM won on Venom by far for me (Love the bust, love the big guy), but Sideshow slammed through on Thanos EASILY!

[@GemMintCollectibles]

yea SS got themselves a W on the board

[@Zetura]

Except for the Quality Check :S Many many issues with Thanos...

[@KainSwiss]

I would say this piece is fantastic in every way! One of the best statues of 2018. XM hands down has the best packaging still. SS should of at least gone all out and doing something special for the packaging. I would say this will be my best piece until when I get XM studios Hulkbuster

[@frostlord9308]

Just wait for the prime 1 venom. That's the one I decided to go for instead of XM or SS.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

cant wait for P1 Venom...especially after seeing Anti-Venom

[@edwardnygma1887]

Iconic video. Gem mint been a legend for this one

[@Far-East-Beast]

What's the difference between a maquette and premium format? And when does something become a diorama?

[@SuitedforGaming]

I lost it when you pulled out that lazy susan out of the drawer and tossed it back in Lmao. No way Thanos is going to sit on that lol. Congrats. Such a glorious statue.

[@williammckinley1035]

That is stupidly HUGE! You have to have a big place to display that awesome statue!

[@matthewmears5710]

The detail is amazing! That SS Thanos makes the XM one look like a walmart toy.

[@NZ_Man]

That is the sickest thing I've ever seen.

[@jessymolsuresh5772]

How much did it cost????

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Thanos retailed at $1200

[@Joshizzle2323]

dang that's a huge collectible bro! "BRING ME THANOS!"

[@GeoManRaddTitan]

Loved the review and side by side brother! Thank you for the mention! My foot like my nuts dropped finally so no gap lol I have the xm one too and as much as I love it's comic accurate and multiple pose options I have to agree with you the sideshow one just bosses it!! Immense piece! Huge congrats mate

[@GemMintCollectibles]

ayye thanks Geo Man. Glad to hear them nuts dropped.

[@Punisher6654]

One of the best Sideshow statues out there and the detail on this thing is stunning.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

for sure

[@pattimcb31]

How can i get a custom throne piece made if there is no file for it? Can they work from pictures?

[@kevinchung564]

What turntable display stand are you using? I'm looking for one for my hulk vs wolverine statue.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

search lazy susan on amazon

[@artineverything6343]

Great review and side by side. My XM Thanos took a back seat to TOTS lol

[@GemMintCollectibles]

lol it been back seat for me

[@PARISMENDEZ]

Just copped the XM Thanos for $650 w/free shipping on eBay (with the coin). I’m satisfied with that deal.

[@dobi287]

funny you say the "flat" blue paint on the xm was a disappointment, cuz on cam i was just thinking he looked to shiny and i liked the cloth look of the throne piece better

[@GemMintCollectibles]

do bi yea on camera it does look good. There’s just not much shadowing on The XM

[@jnguye1]

Great video. Made my 1 hour commute a breeze

[@LloydTee]

Great review! Is the xm thanos 1/4 scale? Looks way smaller than the maquette which is 1/4.

[@syst3mov3rride]

DOPE!!! Curious...You do a video on what you do with the boxes/packaging?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Garage

[@hulkebancroft6526]

Have you seen the one on Solid Art Club that someone had customized/repainted ? I imagine a lot of these traded hands over the years and aren’t mint anymore.

[@godson305]

My boy my boy. This shit is amazing,I remember my first introduction to thanos was marvel vs capcom on Sega dreamcast,nice vid too

[@juniorpedraza4805]

Is this a 1/3 or 1/4? Awesome.

[@anubusx]

This does put a smile on my face.

[@Gotosky999]

why time stone in center, and not mind stone?

[@hokagedarcy003]

Epic unboxing! Sideshow Thanos is incredible! It was awesome that you did a comparison to XM.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

hokagedarcy003 thanks man. I wasn’t gonna do, then I was like man I gotta.

[@hokagedarcy003]

Gem Mint Collectibles I'm glad you did so we could get a good understanding compared to a standing Thanos. You got my thumbs up!

[@jordi139]

hi friend, can you tell me what is the size of this base? pleaseee

[@mojopotato1715]

As an experienced collector do you think the exclusive version of this statue will be more available on the market once the new XM Thanos comes out next year? Debating if I should just settle for the collectors edition now, instead of getting my hopes up for the possibility of landing an exclusive.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

yes, i do

[@mojopotato1715]

Gem Mint Collectibles :Thanks for the quick response! I guess I will be patient and wait for the exclusive version then. 👍🏽

[@AntonioPerez18]

Hey GMC I have a question to ask you. I’m currently watching two Spider-Man comics on eBay both signed by Stan Lee and I was wondering if you could tell me which one I should get. So the first is issue number three graded at a 4.0 sign by Stan Lee and the second is issue number 101 graded at 5.5 signed by Stan Lee. I know Stan wrote issue 3 whereas he didn’t write issue 101, so should I get issue 3? Please give me your take.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Antonio Perez without looking it up, I’m sure 3 is much more valuable. It’s a silver Age key signed by Stan who wrote the story, it’s the better book. Doc is arguable one of spidey’s biggest villains, much more so than Morbius.

[@AntonioPerez18]

Gem Mint Collectibles Thank you so much!!!

[@mildymorbid]

Well the diamond eyes are Ron Lim eyes from the infinity gauntlet series from the early 90s and how he drew his eyes around that time.

[@take1er]

Beautiful man! Should've put my pre order in 😣. But for some reason when you was putting on the arm tests sounded like the material from figures that came with collectors editions from video games 🤔 for some reason I expected the pieces to have some nice weight to it. But looks sick nonetheless

[@mathmadeeasiest4178]

Any idea where you can still buy one reasonably priced?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

hasnt been on my radar so havent noticed

[@IIIMambaIII]

New to the channel. Been watching a lot of your videos over the last week or so. But I didn't know you was a fellow Texan until today. What part of Texas? I'm in the H-Town area myself. Love the vids... Awesome channel!

hey Mamba...glad you found the channel. I moved out her to El Paso about a year ago. I'm from South Florida.

[@vibraniumjim7671]

Hey man are you planning getting the xm studios scorpion?, it would pretty dope to see a review on that piece

[@GemMintCollectibles]

no, I didn't jump on that one. Looks cool though.

[@ZemogEkim]

damn!! That Thanos looooook WAY! to clean!! the Sideshow is killer! XM is more comic like but man that sideshow is ridiculously detailed! Awesome statue! great pick up!

[@tonymiles273]

What is the difference between "Maquet " and "museum pose"?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

maquette's are usually more involved. Like Thanos has a whole Throne. Whereas the XM Thanos he's just standing on a small base.

[@tonymiles273]

@@GemMintCollectibles thank you good sir . Never knew the difference and didn't know who to ask. It was also from you that I learned about head sculpts being called "portraits." I've got multiple statues and bust but mine are 1/6th scale. 1/4th and 1/3rd must be pretty mind blowing to see in person.

[@bluemoon880]

The best part is when you finally pull that first piece of styrofoam off and see Thanos in all his glory for the first time.

[@krishnansutewari470]

What a great side-by-side review Gem! It's really interesting for me since I only recently discovered GEM Mint Collectibles so I'm going back and watching older videos so when I watch this one I have the knowledge that in the future you sold the seated Thanos (I think you did), so it puts a piece of finality to the piece. I absolutely love the SideShow Thanos. Can't wait for your unboxing of Thanos with Lady Death Statue when you get it. Absolutely love how you hit on the details such as the bio-organic-tech similar to Alien (that art was developed by an epic painter, H.R.Giger - check his work out!). The dark blue paint on the SideShow Thanos is breathtaking!

[@krayziejones]

What do you think about the Kotobukiya Fine Art Thanos?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

too small scale for me

[@brentlevanen2252]

Damn the gauntlet looks badass with the light up feature, awesome statue Gem

Hey bro when will you be selling your hulk statues?

[@asb1619]

You've answered my questions before and I was hoping you might do again. I'm currently negotiating with someone with a view to purchase their boxed Collector's edition Thanos. The item is No 900 out of 3500. I've heard horror stories about the quality control issues on some of the earlier statues and wanted to know your opinion. Do you think the issues would have been resolved by the time they got to 900 or whether you think it could still be affected. As always, all comment are greatly appreciated.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

the only issues ive really seen was that leg breakage...as long as its not broken you should be good....im not sure what edition size numbers would be 1st batch, 2nd, etc

Did you buy your piece directly from XM Studio or a third party seller? Because when I tried to buy a Marvel piece from them, I was told that they do not ship to the U.S. because of a licensing contractual agreement. Assuming you live in the States.

I totally agree with your comparison opinion. I am so glad i did not pick up that XM Thanos. Would have been serious buyers remorse. I understand the XM is more comic accurate,.. but only in costume DESIGN. The colors are off,.. and seriously when did Thanos ever have the Gauntlet AND the Cosmic Cube. Both have liberties taken with them. I am just so glad i was able to secure the SS Thanos. It was expensive as hell.. especially for this poor boy. But as long as it arrives in good condition. It would have been worth it. And he will be the crowning jewel of my collection
