Need more videos like this homie. Enjoyed it. We definitely need the “evolution of the man cave” video ASAP!

[BAMCollectibles]

Man I felt the hesitation right with you when you were talking about pre-ordering your first statue...love these kinds of vids man, pulling that curtain right back for the peeps.

👏😎👍 Great video and great advice Gem, "splurge and purge" seems to be the way to keep the collection fun and minty-fresh 😁

Yo, really digging the transition between the two camera angles and the two color gradients. Definitely provides different editing opportunities in the future. Thank you for sharing this video and showing the evolution of your statue collection. I look forward to the book sale video. Great video, Gem.

Those statues look great. Sometimes I wish I could collect statues and maybe one day I will but right now I have too many other hobbies I am putting money into, still great to see the videos and learn about these pieces.

That's cool that you used to go to Past Present Future Comics. I lived in West Palm until I moved to Tampa in 2012. Whenever I visit family in West Palm, I always stop by that comic book store.

Bro you always deliver on your reviews but to be honest this just became one of my favorite videos. It’s real and it’s pretty much how most of us started collecting statues. So it’s more personal to the collector. Awesome bro for real 🔥💯

[ComicBookCorner.]

Loved hearing that origin story of How you started collecting!! Thanks for sharing 💎

[Regosta]

This channel is starting to become one of my favourite channels, you convinced me to read Berserk and I just finished Deluxe Volume 2 and I’m HOOKED!

[robertanderson]

That's awesome. I got into statues by watching you and Mr. X.

[josecrespo]

This is an awesome history video. The old pics of your set ups. The old statues you cycled through. It’s true you get tired of seeing the same thing. The real thrill is completing the collection. Once it’s mission accomplished it’s on to the next. 🤙

[justinreilly]

Love this type of video. It's like a story time/ mini documentary. The editing is so good too

[joebalusikiii]

It is always interesting to see how a collector starts and evolves. Thanks for sharing G.

Cool vid, mirrors my experience from getting back into comics since the 90's, then to figures, then to small/cheaper statues, then to higher end statues and also purging to fund for new statues.

[bluscorpion]

"Collecting" is an understatement. You've had several collections! Wild!

[madhatter]

That brown suit Wolverine statue is what got me Great Video, man!

[ericturczynowsky]

I love the vid, great origin story for the collector mentality...I'm glad you have the resources and funds to expand your collection and have the hobby fund itself and for our entertainment as one of the best channels out there

Nice to see your statue collection journey gem. You’re the reason I started collecting and got into omnibus keep it up. Don’t stop.

[raymondcamacho]

Wow you’ve had quite an impressive collection that avengers in 7.0 was sick and that venom statue was really cool

[superman]

Watching your videos, along with X and BSC, really is what helped me take the leap into statue collecting. Glad I did
