There are days I just sit and look at all my statues and say. I have a lot of statues! Then I feel bad for a second. Then I feel good because I have a lot of statues. L.O.L.

[@ComicStatuesUnleashed]

As expensive as they are I still smile and enjoy all my statues every time I see them. And I do agree that it takes up a ton of time.

[@erosado72]

Statue collecting has become a form of stress relief for me....I find it immensely relaxing to assemble and place them into my collection. I also play music while i clean/dust them....it becomes a nice way to unwind and escape the crazy world we live in. And when I'm all done i can sit back and admire what I've built. Statue collecting has definitely filled a void and I enjoy it immensely.

[@sydnei5567]

That's cool. I also do that with my action figures-always trying to repose them and taking photos of new poses when it's done. I'm not into the statues yet but I know in my heart it's just a matter of time...😊😬

[@virtual_self]

For me it was the opposite, I got very anxious whenever I looked at them. I sleep like a baby now that I only have 2 left to sell 😅 😂

[@DigitallyDevious]

I'm an artist and have always loved collecting I got into it because some of these peices are just a joy to have. It is even fueling my venture into creating customs! I love working with my hands and bringing characters to life that would never be created is something surreal! :)

[@Joe_Olivo]

Man, I agree 100% on the #1. I’m very new to the statue game but just spending time planning my displays, going thru statues available and deciding which to get next. I’ve never been a big hobby guy (mostly for financial reasons) but now I’m in a play that I can splurge and it’s a ton of fun getting into this.

[@mmcpane]

I got into this simply because I appreciate and like having something nice for myself. Some of these statues are works of art that catch my eye every single time I walk in the room. This is something for me that I enjoy

[@mitchelllawrence2798]

That's how I feel about it.

[@brettsimard8439]

Great content I’m not super deep into statue collecting yet but I’m getting deeper and deeper as time goes on.

[@deathjester9679]

I got sucked into this world by accident seeing Sideshow Skeletor promotional video. Childhood favorite villain and I just had to have it. That's what started my journey down the rabbit hole. I do enjoy being able to walk into a room and seeing my childhood in statues

[@thirtyacres7504]

Many have succumbed to the Skeletor.

[@yvang77]

@Elann, myself included.

[@andrewalvarez7389]

Great video man. Letting the people know how you feel and opening up just enough so we realize your as genuine as they come. And with sprinkles of your humor in every video keeps it hilarious for me to watch. Keep em comin.

[@markjohnstone2979]

Great video. Really optimistic and real. Enjoyed it.

[@mojocollectibles5721]

I'm glad I got into statue collecting, it's art and I love looking at my statues in my office, house. Gives me joy to see my hard work pays off to be able to buy such awesome art! To watch videos of other channels such as your channel where ppl are positive and take time to share their thoughts and ideas. Thx for the video

[@louisameline8683]

It's nice to get to know you a little like that, since we watch so many of your vids :) I must say you seem surprisingly reasonable for a statue addict after all haha :) Thanks for the video!

[@austinjensen382]

First time seeing your channel and I am really glad KZbin suggested your channel and this video particularly. I recently just purchased my first statue (Sideshow Collectables MK Reptile statue) and this was a perfect video for me to see because some of the reasons you mentioned as to why you wish you had not gotten into statue collecting were some of the hesitations I had. But I also liked that you added reasons has to why you enjoy this hobby. It was nice to hear the positives and negatives from your perspective. Great video, look forward to following your channel more. Sending good vibes and support from KS.

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

Appreciate you watching and appreciate the support!

[@UglyChe]

My collection is my sanctum. When I hate the world, which is often, this is where I go to feel better. I don't know why it works, but it does and that's all I care about.

[@jaymiah8595]

Never got into statute collecting, but find your videos fascinating

[@Iko_Iko_Statues]

I love it because it brings me back to my childhood. Thanks for the video.

[@mitchelllawrence2798]

Good video. I was just literally saying to someone yesterday, it's like an addiction I'm starting to have with buying statues (and I'm just starting out). This is why I'm being very selected with who and what I choose. Thank you for sharing your personal insight with us.

[@apalmiter]

Really happy to see the second half. Ups and downs for sure, but keeps things interesting and always good to have a hobby!

[@rikyannieh6119]

Glad u got into in. One of the best KZbin content creators ever

[@clos24]

I'm only buying cheap statues of my most favorite characters i aint a rich man lol

[@jonbaker7470]

I’ve been collecting for a couple of years now and your list is an absolute fact. I enjoy the hell out of it but it doesn’t consume my life. Good video Mr X

[@lancepaniccia2990]

This is a great warning video. I have been “collecting” since I was a younger. I had the toy that never left the card it came on. I got into statues when I had the money to buy one and over time have gotten a few. Now I am not a crazy collector like you Mr. X but After many years of not collecting I got back into it recently and watching this video helps to set a guideline to fallow while getting back into collecting. Great video and anyone getting into collecting anything not just statues should watch this.

[@stevenmcknight1604]

Another great top 10. The pros for collecting definitely outweigh the negatives for me. 👍👍

[@AnthonyOldhandGarcia]

At 2:13 that was great cool pause icon on the screen made me laugh. Can't get in the statue collecting and other collectibles because of the finances and no extra room for a Man-Cave for myself.

[@ReconstructedBeauty]

I appreciate that, Happy to do that for You, love you man...

[@grantjrobertson]

Great video....100% spot on.

[@johntschumper4872]

ITS DEFINITELY THE ROOM AND FOR THE POSITIVE SIDE ITS FREAKIN AWSOME TO SEE YOUR FAVORITE HEROS IN YOUR MANCAVE!

[@CoolCollected]

I can relate to all of them 😂 11:10 lol idle hands are the devil’s workshop I just think you really have to enjoy it, so some of the negatives don't really feel that bad All collecting or any other activity we'll run into some bad people, but as you mentioned, there are a lot of great people too 👍 Great video ! Thanks again

[@dannydodd4452]

You got me with addicting! I recently put a deposit down and made my first of three payments on a statue, I’m not even thinking about it, already focused on the next order...happy it’s not just me

[@Bringthewinter]

“idle hands are the devil’s tools/workshop.” I absolutely agree with all your reasons. But the one good thing about this hobby is that after you go through the process of preordering, saving up, receiving (or selling) enough statues, there is no more mystery or fear because you have now experienced it. It is like skydiving: you keep pushing it off with fears and worries that you’re going to die on your first attempt, and then once you’ve done it a couple of times, there is not as much fear and worry. You gain the confidence and courage to delve deeper into it, like skydiving from greater heights or riskier locations. Same with this hobby in that you buy more expensive statues or from more companies or sellers because you’ve now “done it.” You’ve broken your cherry; dipped your toes into cold water; touched a hot stove; etc. You discover it’s not as bad or as difficult as you initially thought it would be. It essentially becomes easier, and thus more enjoyable. You also mentioned it is an addiction. But let’s be honest, once you’ve gained enough of a collection, statue collecting gets pushed to the bottom of your priorities because it is no longer a mystery or desperate new urge that needs solving or relieving, and you now realize it is not a substitute for life’s other needs or events. If you had to choose between buying a statue or a new car, you would buy a new car. If you had to choose between buying a statue or spending that money on your son’s birthday party, you would spend it on the party. Same for if you needed surgery on your teeth or new glasses or a new sofa or groceries. That is the complete opposite of an addiction because the urge (the “I need this bad bad bad bad bad”) eats at you less and less when you actually have to choose between that and actual happiness.

[@zeno2839]

Great vid sir

[@robbieduffy9998]

Nailed it Mr x...nailed it..I collect 1:12 scale figures and graphic novels and although not on the same scale in size and monetary outlay as statues the reasons you've stated here are the same..but we still love it..!!!

[@marcsantos272]

I have started statue collecting, because of the youtubers and once you hold it, you cant stop.

[@johanarguelles8399]

Great and honest list

[@MintHunterComics]

Appreciate the video X, I agree with a lot of your points, i personally think my least favorite thing is the inability to get a certain awesome statue because I promised myself its not in the scale I collect. It can be hard to pass up great statues because of this!

[@bakari763]

Great video. I am really glad you started this channel. I credit you and Todd Johnson for my renewed love of statue collecting. The community needs your enthusiasm and love of art. Thanks John and keep rocking and rolling !!! ✌🏾😃

[@edcadavid310]

i got into statue collecting when i finally was able to buy a home with an office. I always wanted a couple statues but never had the place to put them. Now that i do i love the pieces i have.

[@danijelbogdanovic3347]

That's true! Because of u and u're Reviews i bought the pcs m bison ultra statue and became addicted. Now i bought the pcs ultra ken and odered the pcs ultra ryu. But holy crap i love it.

[@emorrot9938]

Great video as always. There are times I love collecting and times I hate it.

[@georgemolho4101]

I swore I’ld never collect statues. Years ago I could not understand why anyone was interested in them. And then I saw P1 1/2 scale BvS Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman Statues and that’s all she wrote. From there it was slowly into customs and then onto hunting down my all time childhood favorites--and then into watching someone talk about statues on KZbin and then becoming a member-and then talking about statue addictions- ha...ha...ha. Now, I love it all. It must have been karma. For as many people as I mentally made fun of I must have been cursed to purchase 10 times that amount of pieces. The best thing about this hobby are the wonderful people. And then the realization of childhood dreams coming to life. Seeing my favorite film characters born of resin and clay, capturing cinematic moments in time is refreshing and just wow! Absolutely, love collecting statues. Go Xtreme or go home!

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

Your collection is awesome man.

[@philipfox8797]

You went down the rabbit hole👍👍👍👍

[@ghostshadowcollectibles2256]

Started in comics and amassed a lot. I took a break from that to start collecting action figures of all my favorite heroes and villains. Of course I collected to many and finally stopped to get into lightsabers. I collected a large variety all of which have different soundboards, sounds and lighting effects. I quit that when I ran into several scammers and now back into comics that are graded and mostly signed. Never got into statues or considered them but love watching your channel. I like seeing all the different characters, styles and poses

[@starchild5477]

I started collecting statues buying KISS busts and KISS statues and action figures. Statues are a great investment and they are made so well.

[@Supersaiyandad]

I’m actually about to embark on statue collecting now. The good things but frustrating as the same time is I have limited space currently where I live so it’s making me be very picky about what to get now. I already picked out my “cherry popper” piece lol but now I’m strategically planning all the others based on spacing available.

[@danielcaruso6201]

I am on the cusp of statue collecting. I have a lot of game collectibles and lots of game statues, however, watching your videos make my statues seem very poor quality in comparison and i am starting to look at some of the higher end statues and companies wondering what my first purchase should be.

[@michaelhood7625]

Value and Equity in the statues as long as you take care of them, keep them clean and free of dust and always keep your packaging, including the shipper. Best ways to see a larger return on your investment.

[@seanleskinen1138]

Never thought I would be collecting statues and now I own 2. I live in a regular size (80sqm.) condominium so I'm well aware of the limitations I have and know what I'm actually getting into thanks to your videos. I am also practicing #restraint with collecting 1/6 figures - so I can probably stop collecting if I wanted to but I hope you don't as I enjoy watching your videos and reviews.

[@adamkul6067]

I am in no shape or form in the game. But I agree that the people would be a part of it, because the hobby has cool people like you. Love the videos Keep up the good work man!

[@Mooste]

I got into collecting by other youtubers like Mr. X and Gemmint. :-(

[@Psy_Moon]

I love the hobby of collecting, my big brother got me started with action figures growing up, now that I have more flexibility with my income, I fell in love with statues. I set rules for myself with my collection and as long as I can maintain, I’ll keep buying. Thanks for another great video!

[@jerry_bourne]

I remember when I thought Bowens at a couple hundred dollars each were out of reach.

[@scorpionwins6378]

I love Bowen Designs. For the quality and size to price ratio they can't be beat. I have an assortment of Marvel statues currently on display and I managed to start a decent collection of Bowen sculpts without breaking the bank. And a majority of them have held their value well, not that reselling is my motive in this hobby. But yes I agree several years ago a lot of them were unobtainable on my meager income source. I'm happy with what I have so far and regret nothing.

[@85Hearts]

Excellent story behind it all

[@1977kreeves]

got into it because of you and gem mint... no regrets...

[@colinr9389]

I always admired statues when I saw them at comic con but never saw myself spending that kind of money on anything. Then Infinity War and Endgame happened and my obsession for the MCU grew to another level. When I saw the Queen Studios Thanos bust go up for sale I knew I needed to have it. That bust was my first purchase in Feb 2020 and my ticket down the rabbit hole. It really turned out to be the perfect year though to find a new hobby since COVID has taken away so many other things that I would normally spend my money on like concert tickets, baseball games, traveling, eating out, etc... In a way I feel like the hobby and I found each other at the perfect time. Watching you, the batman statue collector and gem mint has also kept me busy and has provided me alot of entertainment over the last several months. Interacting with the facebook groups has also kept me busy. Really glad I found this niche community of collectors.

[@animegeek6118]

Late to the party but I had a collection 2 years ago that made my living room look like a comic shop. It was causing fights with my wife so I sold most of it off and started collecting omnibus instead. But I feel the itch again so I’m about to start back up. I just won’t go as overboard as I did when I first started. Love your content keep it up.

[@juanortega8051]

Love being in the game. Takes me back to being a kid and jot being able to have all the coo stuff lol

[@romanesparza8575]

You and Gim got me into statue collective

[@danielcaruso6201]

Idle hands are the devils playground. I Was never into statue collecting but i used to get a lot of video game collectable stuff. Now, watching your videos as well as Gem mint and The Batman statue collector I have really got into it and i bought 4 pieces in two months lol. (And so the addiction begins).

[@frotopop9300]

If it makes you happy then collect as much and as often as possible. Life is short however when your doing things that make you happy you actually extend your time on this earth. When a person does not understand or is confused by your choices in what makes you happy its because they are empty with nothing to fill there own voids.. keep up the awesome videos

[@EZCompanyCollectibles]

Not sure if I could get out my hot toys game...this year I've been crawling into statues and expenses has gone up...I'm not sure what I'm doing...

[@Jason-xb7rg]

I got into statue collecting because my parents never bought me toys. My mom would buy my cousins Transformers and I got nothing. When I got my first real job, I started to buy toys. It eventually north in statues. The worst thing I hate is the space and boxes it takes to house these collectibles. The best thing I like about collecting is the art. I have a great passion and appreciation of the sculpted statue.

[@mcnerdyfamilyaxolotladvent1946]

I have considered getting into statues but I'm pretty happy with my hot toys and play Arts Kai. I am able to have more shelf space

[@declanbuss2049]

Cool video

[@DarkNight-fi6tv]

Like you, addicted to the art and theme....started a year ago and now investing in statues between 500-1k...crazy!!!!

[@andrewilmot1714]

i believe the quotes you were looking for is "An idle Mind is the Devil's workshop". The other Variant is. The Devil Makes Work of idle Hands. Seeing all my childhood superheroes come to life through art and film and being able to enjoy them all over again has so far trumped all my other reasons for wishing I never started in this thing ours.

[@sydnei5567]

I started collecting action figures which I absolutely love. But lately I have been getting a few of statues. Action figures is still the main drive of my collection but I am aware that sooner or later I will be fully in the statue thing and then it will be game on!

[@heavybarrel4715]

I'm glad I have this hobby. I have many hobbies very important

[@geiramTV]

even tho i dont have that massive amount like you do, i do have some high end statues, BUT i do have alot of high end figures(small statues i like to look at them) and i know i spent alot of money and i know i will be able to get my money back if i ever want to sell them since i always do my research before i buy a statue or a figure. great video X :D:D:D

[@BAlexThompson]

I had a lot of the same reasons for both of your lists. With being glad I'm in the hobby, the main two are the friends I've made in the hobby and get to talk to on a daily basis & it all being a distraction from the insanity of real life.

[@thirtyacres7504]

It's a double-edged sword. If I have too many statues, I feel like they're not as special anymore. So I need to keep my collection smaller than most. But there's the part of me that wants everything, even though I'm picky about specific elements about a statue. Space is my worst enemy when it comes to collecting statues. And Addiction! Yes, it's expensive! All of the reasons you stated hit home for me. The point you make that it does hold equity, helps me sleep better at night. Haha. When you have thoughts about postponing a wisdom teeth extraction so you can place a couple of more pre-orders. I know. It's sad. But that has more to do with me thinking taking care of my health is a lost cause. But #restraint helps. Thank you, Mr. X. Admittedly, I have more statues in shippers than I have displayed. I hope you never stop collecting statues, though. It seems like you do have a true passion for it. The statue collectibles community wouldn't be the same without you, Gem Mint, Batman Statue Collector, and many others. I've recently gotten into Facebook collectibles groups and it has been a life force in fueling my passion. A little history of my statue collecting: It started with Sideshow Collectibles Dead Space Isaac Clarke back in 2012. Still my favorite piece of all-time. It's my "Pumpkinhead." ;)

[@NotMorganFreeman.]

I had to look up tat Dead Space piece. Man, that is awesome. I wish i had one. Your Pumpkinhead, is it the Sideshow version?

[@thirtyacres7504]

@@NotMorganFreeman. It's a great piece. I search for the Dead Space statue on eBay and Facebook groups daily. I don't have a Pumpkinhead statue. I was just comparing it to being my grail or highly sought after piece (Mr. X's grail).

[@tanyadarden2113]

Lol, comment about the will was funny! I agree though, I appreciate the art of the design and character appreciation

[@mark777myers]

I started by collecting all the small eaglemoss Marvel & DC pieces. I then got into 1/4 scale. What I really like and often main reason to pull trigger is how I can uniquely display statue to create a diorama that tells story. I just ordered XM Hulk transformation for that reason. I think about how I could add background image with extra stuff in display and how it will be lit. Started at $10 a hit now $2,300 for one fix.

[@ghostface3655]

I hear ya brother!

[@miamiznemesis1]

I started my collection cause of a youtube video i saw. I started in March this year with the pandemic and now I've bought more than 30 statue and figures, not high end stuff like you but still stuff I enjoy and can afford. I even have a list of the statue and figures I want and I scratch them off when I get it. What I do hate is that SOMETIMES I feel embarrassed to tell people I collect toys at my age. But you do get some sort of relaxation when you walk into your collection room and look at character from your childhood. That's the reason I do it.

[@Aarch4ng3l]

As much as don't have money for this hobby, i am glad i did it and joined to this amazing journey. Brings back lot of childhood memories. In hard times i just pick up a comic book or sit before my collection and remember there is some good in the world too. It is my cozy little world, my safe space. And always liked art, but after this i love even more, every aspect. Appreciate the ppl's behind the art, the artist. And i meet a lot of nice ppl. Nice Hobby, now i just need to win the lottery.

The reasons why I like & dislike statue collecting.... The top reasons why I do NOT like collecting: 5. Dusting 4. Addicting / Rabbit Holes 3. Space they ultimately take up 2. Boxes, Boxes, Boxes 1. Overall costs (statues, shipping, displaying) The top reasons why I DO like collecting: 5. $'s are generally recoverable 4. Collecting community / People 3. Anticipation / Excitement of new pieces 2. Reliving childhood / Nostalgia 1. Appreciation of the art (idea, creation, execution & the history of a character)

I got into collecting statues and other collectibles cause of the nostalgia and because if someone looks at my stuff it tells them who I am without me saying a word, y I want out sometimes is the expense collecting everything and anything makes it tough to choose which is more important

[@abelmayorga]

I love them because they are art pieces. I could appreciate all the hard work.

[@jasongonzalez6544]

Statue collecting is an investing but a huge addiction. This is not for everyone, it can ruin some people financially. My advice is that if you can’t collect responsibly, don’t even try to start collecting.

[@badprotocol1105]

"collect responsibly" 👍✌ 😂

[@ericcasillas607]

I’ve been collecting for about 1 1/2 years and I absolutely love it. To your point I am currently out of room. I’m actually looking to buy a bigger house and one of my boxes to check off is a house with an extra room just for my statues. I recently just broke my very first statue and I’m still pissed over it. But I really love it.

[@lesterbrim2911]

Well I started on hot wheel car went I work at toy r us now. I am a beginner at collecting it does get expensive love your channel in yes its the space in you have to have money put away but at the end of the day I love collecting statue

[@PamperedPetz]

Always liked collecting in general so it’s cool to see a different side of it that I haven’t seen.

[@nignaggin1219]

For me, the joy of collecting is owning a tangible piece of comic or film and the nostalgia/wow factor of the character. Then there’s the experience of tracking down, buying, waiting, and finally opening and displaying the piece.

[@Devilbruh]

One of the statues that got me interested in the series was the Paul Atreidies one from Dune. I watched the movie and loved it. Just finished the 3rd book on the trilogy and I love it. Would've never picked them up if it wasn't for the statue. Also my childhood was filled with Resident evil and one of my first games was Resident evil 2, now I'm excited to have the Prime 1 Studios Leon and Claire statues

[@videosceneadv]

I carnt afford to collect any but if I could the doom statue from the game and transformers pieces looks amazing which is something I would of bought if I had the money and its nice to see all the statues available on your channel

[@mars009]

I would love to get into statue collecting, but then I remember my house is my one big statue and that I can just look at Mr. X's

[@nrgspike]

I bought my first statue in 2012, as a result of seeing one of StatueHunter75's reviews of Amber from Sucker Punch by Gentle Giant, sculpted by an - as then - relatively unknown Will Harbottle. Then by about 2018 the price of statues has almost tripled, I'd hit a financial rough patch and had to downsize my outgoings and living space. So I sold the collection off. I calculated that just about broke even all told. I do still find myself gazing wistfully at the upcoming releases and reviews and feel/fight the urge to 'add to cart'. These days I'm into 3D printing - space is starting to become and issue again.

[@primemegatron22]

Very True, a hobby that never quits, even after you found your *Ultimate Holy Grail,* you still end up looking for the next piece, that next high. For me I was going to stop buying the large dollar value$$$ statues after I got the XM Studios The Darkness, and XM Dark Phoenix... but then very recently I burned over $2,000 on the HMO Morrigan, lmfao!!!

[@marktracey3933]

I have to agree, I recently bought an xm studios iron man classic 1/4 scale. I would like to get the core avengers roster in the 1/4 scale xm statues. All I know is I’m glad I quit smoking earlier this year. These pieces aren’t cheap!!?

[@blephegor]

When I was young I hung out with people who weren't so good for me. I started collecting by chance. Saw some Movie Maniacs at a K Mart and thought they would look good on a shelf. Bought them and it started from there. Collecting was my focus then and it literally made my life better. Sounds cheesy but its true. Im just now getting into statues at 40 and I am so excited for myself. Meeting others with the same interests is a plus. I can't see myself never having started collecting.
