Why I Couldn't Resist Buying Back My Green Hush Poison Ivy Statue!

[@basteqpowerslave]

You sound insane my friend ;) 🤘

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Lost my SANITY years ago!!

[@Cali5556]

It seems that from the small (Kotobukiya Bishoujo) to the mid-sized (Tweeterhead) to the big scale (Prime 1), the green-skinned Poison Ivy is always given the more stern expression that befits her villainous character.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

It seems like the sculptors just can't resist giving Poison Ivy that "I'm up to no good" look in every statue! Maybe she's just really good at intimidating the artists.

[@edwinvillarreal4637]

Hey guys Just wanted to provide an update Ordered regular skin color poison ivy directly from prime 1 Economy shipping . Took 4 weeks from date of shipped . Came by fedex . No issues at all. Gladly didn’t have to do any special paperwork thru customs or anything. Excited to get a chance to take her out of the box .

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

That's awesome! I'm glad you had a smooth shipping experience and didn't have to deal with any customs issues. Can't wait to see your unboxing video!

[@moneywastedcollecting]

Chris I as a fan and grown adult respect your right as a grown adult to do whatever the hell you want when you want and however you want and not have an opinion about it or become upset with the decisions of someone who has no bearing on my life in the real world because I’m not a crazy person lol, You don’t have to explain yourself ever ! Freedom baby ! 🇺🇸 You worked for your money you can do whatever you want with it ! No one should ever let the decisions of someone they probably don’t even know have any effect negatively on their life lol ! Some of the comment sections are nuts with how much people care about what you do with your money and collection lol.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Dude, your comment made my day! It's awesome to have fans like you who get it and don't let other people's opinions get to them. Keep rocking that freedom mindset and enjoying the content!

[@moneywastedcollecting]

@@BatmanStatueCollector You know it 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@martini84]

They look good side by side

[@RickRockerMusic]

Keep both! 😉🤘🏼There’s a reason you are unsure and it’s because you want em both I think. Don’t use logic to decide what you honestly feel here. 😊At the very least give it a few months before deciding. Perhaps put them at a slight angle 📐so there’re looking diagonally away from each other, being slightly back to back (rather than being completely facing front). Just thinking of ways to use the duality concept since they are noticeably different. Wish flesh colored had the fierceness that the green has but since she don’t it feels like a double personality thing sorta 🤔. Perhaps just lean into it. If you need to money in the future months, then sell whichever you want. But these ivys i don’t see being topped anytime soon

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thanks for your input! I appreciate your suggestion to keep both and explore the duality concept. I'll definitely consider it before making a decision.

[@RickRockerMusic]

@@BatmanStatueCollector of course my man :-)

[@Paulies-Hideout]

We all have second thoughts in life. Almost every reviewer made a list of statues they regret selling. Glad you got her back man, I think that particular Ivy is the best one out there.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm really glad I decided to buy back the Green Hush Poison Ivy statue. It's definitely one of my favorites too!

[@Enty94]

You made the right decision in my opinion. Comic accurate is the way to go. Like you said you were just a bit quick to sell it.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Haha, you caught me! I couldn't resist the lure of Poison Ivy's green charm. But hey, at least I got to experience the thrill of buying it back!

[@teresap3618]

I Have both of them and decided to keeping both of them 😊 ❤

[@Italiano_Strawhat]

I think part of the problem is you psych yourself up to post videos everyday, and that pressure influences your collecting choices to sell and rebuy, flip flopping on whats you feel is best for the collection and by extension giving you something else to talk about for your videos. If it was just once I wouldnt think much about it, but it seems like a pattern now, but what do I know, I am not a psychologist.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

You might be right, I'm sure that does happen from time to time. I think for me I'm trying to make my collection make the most sense as possible and unfortunately I'm doing it very publicly lol. I do have trouble making up my mind.

[@Italiano_Strawhat]

@@BatmanStatueCollector don't get me wrong, I believe that in the fore front of your mind you're only making choices that you feel are best for the display and your collection, but that the constant pressures of runnning a YT channel may influence you subliminally in ways most collectors dont ever have to deal with or consider. Either way we do appreciate all you do to help form an awesome community of mostly positive people.

[@mostndokk1880]

Although I like the white version better the green will look better in your collection with the new joker

[@jorgrtrujillo]

Great statue

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the statue!

[@gregbell5873]

Chris you mentioned there is a Hush Catwoman coming, I never heard of this, do you have any details ?

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Yes they teased her in a render some months back.

[@thiagocarneiro2794]

I support you Chris, the green is so symbolic, stylized and comic-book-y. Looks really good.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thank you so much for your support! I'm glad you appreciate the symbolism and stylized look of the statue. It really does add a unique touch to my collection.

[@ausgamecollector]

The flesh-colour is better in concept, but I believe the green is superior (with more dynamic hair) in this instance… Sometimes you can’t know until they’re standing side-by-side.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Ah, the eternal struggle of choosing between flesh-color and green statues. It's like having two delicious flavors of ice cream and not being able to decide which one to have!

[@cianeck6993]

Darn.. I noticed some interesting new Punchline in Chris's collection. Probably a custom piece but I liked what I saw teased in this video. 😁

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Yo, thanks for checking out the video! That new Punchline in the collection caught your attention, huh? Definitely a custom piece that I couldn't resist. Stay tuned for more cool stuff coming your way!

[@DRAGO_BAKA]

I like the green one better personally

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thanks for sharing your preference! It's always interesting to hear different opinions on collectibles.

[@poorboycollector3123]

Chris.. I would just keep them both!

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thanks for your input! I definitely understand the temptation to keep both statues. They're both so amazing in their own ways!

[@Leny1777]

Time to part ways

[@obiwan7701]

I do like the green version better she has the room presence I like👍👍

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

I completely agree! The green version definitely has a captivating presence that is hard to resist.

[@jjw238]

I speak for all green people when I say we are not that evil.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

🤣🤣🤣

[@gothamgoon4237]

Green team for the win. Green Ivy has more presence and menace and I prefer her wilder hair. OG Hush Ivy is on the whole the better of the two although you can't go wrong with either. I would keep the Green Ivy in the cave and maybe keep the skin tone too and use her as an entrance statue to your cave or maybe turn her into a fountain in the living room which is something I've been contemplating with mine. I knew you'd regret selling the green one.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Haha, you caught me! I definitely regretted selling the Green Ivy. It's like I couldn't resist her plant-powered charm. And turning her into a fountain in the living room? Now that's an idea worth considering!

[@toysofarkham]

You’re certifiably crazy… I can tell… because I’m the same ☺️🙌

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

They say crazy is just another word for passionate. And boy, am I passionate about Poison Ivy!

[@ermacarr6617]

Ahhh keep em both! Also get her 1st appearance comic.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

That one is on my watch list for sure. Not sure how deep I want to go with the comic book KEYS!!

[@ermacarr6617]

Please suggest to the statue companies a mixed media 1939 1st appearance Batman.

[@designerdy]

don't you just hate when you regret selling a statue lol lucky for me i've never rebought one even though i regret a few sales

[@neo06m2003]

You can put the flesh one on the other side of the room lol

[@davidpayan1328]

I'd separate them and keep both. I have 2 Custom Supergirls that are nearly identical except for the switch out torso and head sculpture and I love them both. At the very least hang on to it for awhile 😊

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

I really appreciate your suggestion! It's great to hear from fellow collectors who understand the struggle of parting with beloved items. I'll definitely consider holding onto it for a while longer.

[@stryker-4733]

Absolutely love the little Santa hats on some of the statues

[@tonts5329]

I definitely prefer the Green Ivy to the flesh-toned one. Flesh-tone isn't bad, but it does lack that presence of the other one, the green one is more eyecatching. The hair has that wild/primal nature force, compared to the smoother paler skinned Ivy. I like Green Ivy's facial expression more, but I think the flesh-toned Ivy's hair colour is better and would've paired better with the green skinned one. Personally I think you made the right choice bringing her back to the Bat Bunker. Plus you never know, maybe a Flesh-Toned Ivy will come out that can share the spotlight with the green one? Besides the Samurai-Line Ivy.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Ah, the eternal debate of Green Ivy vs Flesh-toned Ivy! They both have their unique charms, don't they? It's like choosing between wild and smooth, vibrant and subtle. It's a tough call, but I'm glad you think I made the right choice!

[@primusfan87]

I would buy Batman or Joker

[@Kaitschi]

The flesh-coloured Version is also beautiful, but the green one is the comic-accurate, so I would have also gone with the green Version

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Who can resist a green Poison Ivy? It's like she's saying "Come join me in my garden of mischief!"

[@watching..........6494]

Exactly ,not illegal to change your mind lol

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Who can resist the siren call of a stunning Poison Ivy statue? It's like she whispered, "Come back to me" and I couldn't say no!

Get your art up on the wall! Looks so bare behind all the statues.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely consider adding some artwork to the wall to spruce things up a bit.

[@batkidbeyond99]

Recently you spoke of a crisis not knowing what .. you want or where you place you statues .. or what to sell or keep .. what to PO .. or not. Is exhausting. You still without a vision of what a collection is and how to display it. Not to mention the money you keep wasting.!! Can’t call yourself the BSC .. more like BS museum.. You need to make your mind up, stop wasting money and then have another economic crisis ..!! Focus.. stop wasting money and time and look at what you have .. This has become more like a business to you than the passion for Batman.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

I understand your point and I appreciate your honesty. It's definitely something I need to work on and I'll try to focus more on my collection and how to display it.

[@erics5198]

Spoken like a true addiict Chris 😂

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

I think I may have a problem lol

[@stevemessengerart]

I at first really thought I should've gone with flesh tone, I liked the contrast and I thought I liked the hair better on the 2nd version. As I've seen more photos, I'm happy with the original green skin, and I think I also prefer the hair on the OG as well. I had considered both but I frankly don't have the space for another 1/3 scale. Then, the next thing you know, Sideshow comes out with multiple super low ES Ivy's. AAAAAND I ended up with another green skin. I'm subscribing to the mindset that if I miss out, I miss out, but the pain/FOMO is short lived as there will ALWAYS be a new thing coming that makes us have these dilemmas. Green skin FTW

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Looks like the green skin won your heart! Can't blame you, it's a classic choice. And hey, who knows, maybe there's still room for that 1/3 scale statue in your collection one day!

[@stevemessengerart]

@@BatmanStatueCollector for me the painted-on ivy on her skin looks better against green as opposed to flesh tone, I feel like there's more "wiggle room" for the painters to get the details just right. Hopefully one day I'll have the room lol... in the meantime I gotta find room for the ones I already have!! lol

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Haha, I totally get it! It's a constant struggle to find space for all the collectibles we love. But hey, who needs an extra bed when you can have another Poison Ivy statue? Priorities, right?

[@deadpoolredsuit4892]

Both look great.. but not great displayed side by side.

Did you actually really sell it???

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Yep a few weeks back.

[@keka792]

Are the hairs swappable? Sorry if I missed you already covered that.

[@zeheero]

Chris just likes to hurt himself in the wallet lol.

[@billyjenkins7951]

I'm never consistently a green or skin tone Ivy supporter, it just depends on the piece. Sideshow has the new Deadly Nature version up and I definitely prefer the skin tone despite the higher ES. With this one, however, I prefer the green and also think you made the right decision. It's a bonus that it's also accurate to what she looked like in the comic, but aethestics-wise, I like the look of the green quite a bit more. Just keep being honest with yourself on which pieces you prefer and don't (not simply by what's new or what the community prefers) :)

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Hey there! I totally get what you mean about not consistently supporting one version of Ivy. It's all about what catches your eye and makes you go "Wow!" Keep staying true to your own style and preferences, and you'll always have a killer collection!

[@kenpope5798]

Hope your not loosing too much money going back and forth especially since shipping is so expensive !!! You will have to see lots of 🌽🌽🌽

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Don't worry, I've become quite the expert at finding budget-friendly shipping options. Who knew collecting statues could turn me into a shipping ninja?

[@rohanmoorthy]

Green version all the way 😊👍🏻

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

I'm glad you're a fan of the green version! It's definitely a standout piece in my collection.

[@daf5162]

Chris and his wives, all they do is take your money. Get rid of one and don't look back 😂

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Ah, the love-hate relationship with collecting. It's a never-ending cycle of temptation and regret. But hey, at least I have some awesome statues to show for it!

[@AspenKaraZor-El]

To be completely honest, when you told that the Green version was in sale, I really thought that you would going miss her and getting het back sooner or later. So I guess that I was sooner 😊. And indeed you can't go wrong with both of them. If you want the real Hush comic version then it's the green one to go. But if you really go all in on Hush then I feel that you also need Nightwing and Huntress ( back again 😅 ) in the future 👍

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

God it would be the third time for Huntress LOL Lord help us all!!

[@Dyon_Cole_QuietStorm]

While the flesh tone pops more, I do think the green version is the superior piece,so with that, I don’t think you made a mistake by having her…BUT…being that she was already sold, I woulda just chalked it up as gone and put my money into something I never owned.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Well, I guess I just couldn't resist the allure of bringing back the green goddess! But hey, sometimes you have to follow your heart, even if it means buying something you already had.

[@spinnerrackstudios]

Chris, I think you have mentioned you are a school counselor, so you understand the importance of counseling, correct? Well, you might want to seek counseling!!!😁

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Well, if counseling can help me resist buying more statues, maybe I should give it a try! 😄

[@shaunschuller3282]

Uhm told you so.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thank you for reminding me why I love this statue so much!

[@Carvalho_J89]

[@David-zt2vw]

Green Hush Poison Ivy is better for me

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Ah, the eternal struggle of deciding which Poison Ivy statue is the best. It's like choosing between green apples and... well, other green apples!

[@MidwestMouseketeers]

SMH. You already know

[@stryker-4733]

As crazy as it is that you sold the green one only to buy it back again I understand some of your points the flesh color is more seductive and sexy and the Green version is more sexy butt deadlier that is quite the decision to make but I can understand the Dilemma will the warehouse I see it is your decision was based on which one you love the most and obviously if you was to sell the green one only to buy it back and I have only heard you say those things about a small selective of statues that you've had that shows how much love you have for the peace but it wouldn't surprise me down the line if you may very well by the flesh color one again

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Hahahahahaha I told you the green is better, if you have an Ivy she should be green, she just looks much better, it’s what makes Ivy, Ivy, the other is just a woman.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad you agree that the green is the way to go for Poison Ivy. It's great to hear that you appreciate her iconic look as much as I do.

[@scottballard6268]

yes, i think the green is way better and is of course much truer to the comic and imo looks more evil and sinister. ivy was not a good guy in batman hush and to me the flesh color one just looks like a beautiful woman model or something standing there with this plant monster. doesnt go, doesnt make sense. keep the green, sell the flesh color.

[@chrislogan4280]

Chris you have a condition 😅

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Haha, you caught me! I have a serious case of "Statue Obsession Syndrome" and I just couldn't resist bringing this Poison Ivy statue back into my collection.
