200,000 !!! Thank you everyone so much for joining me on this amazing journey to hit this milestone
I look forward to sharing more milestones with everybody as we showcase and unbox these amazing anime collectibles!
For a few weeks now I have been promising everybody that when I hit 200k subscribers I would be unboxing a life-size
statue and it's going to be none other than Sage Mode Naruto because of the size of this thing I need more muscle...
My brother...BAM Bro!
Hey everyone BAM Bro here so excited to be here back on the channel and here to help celebrate this momentous occasion.
200,00 subscribers and you all have been here along for that ride making a dream come true.
Seriously thank you everyone for being along for this. It has been and incredible journey, without delay
lets jump into the main event....Sage Mode Naruto!
I know I said we're jumping into the main event but I have to tell you, the owner of OnePieceCollector, a reseller
website, contacted me and said for 200K subscribers I want to donate to someone on your channel this Apocalypse Studio's
Naruto that you see behind me. The original one is not custom lit up with LED's like mine is but it's still an amazing and
incredible statue, probably around a $500 value at least so thank you so much for hosting this giveaway!
He has been so supportive of me and my channel since I've started and I am just endlessly appreciative of what you've
done for me and also now for people on the channel. To be eligible with every video that's uploaded in the month of June
I would say leave a meaningful comment on the video, letting me know that you watched it, watch time is super important for YouTubers.
So I appreciate when you watch the full video. A meaningful comment being NOT "give me da statue" just let me know that
you watched it and enjoyed it, what was your favorite part about it and I appreciate it ALSO follow me on Instagram or
Facebook and then we'll do a random comment selection towards the end of the month for the winner of that statue.
Now without anymore delay we're getting into this bad boy!
Because of the size of the boxes we're not doing any kind of box turns so if we take a look here is the ginormous base.
This actually all came in one box! Naruto's left foot goes right here we'll see the outline of that and then also in the center
is a steel rod so there's another steel rod coming out of his foot that going to slide into place and secures him there.
We'll take a look and see all the texturing and paint application on the rock. You can tell they went for a realistic look and they
did accomplish that so well. For the other foot we have a section over here where it's going to rest. Now there's a notch
in there but there's actually not a notch in Naruto's foot so I'm not sure why that was there like that but overall this piece probably
weighs a solid 60lbs all together, you need that to support what's going on top. Here are the legs!
I tell you it's so odd doing a review like this. It feels like laying someone out on a doctors table but if we zoon in here to the leg
we'll see this is where the kunai pouch goes, the slot is right there and we'll go ahead and look at it. It is a little scrapped up.
That's because the cloak from the Sage Mode is going to be draping down on the side and actually kind of rubs against this
piece that's also why it's indented there because it rests up against the cloak. I don't really care you don't even see this
piece once everything is installed together, I guess they just included it for accuracy. This has got to be the LARGEST
notch I've ever seen on a statue! This bad boy is large and thick because it's supporting the
waist or the torso which is extremely heavy. Now we have some texturing going on the clothes here if you zoom in and take a look.
The skin is smooth as you'd imagine and we have some texturing going on for the Ninja sandals or the Ninja shoes I'm not even
sure what to call those exactly but really nice weathering looking texture and then you have the toes there.
As mentioned before we have the other foot with the steel rod in it so it secures itself to the base. This steel rod likely
is casted up through the leg as well for that extra added support but VERY needed for this statue to be sure it doesn't wobble or shake.
My gosh! This piece right here has to weigh a solid 90-100 lbs I did put a blanket on bottom of my table so it doesn't scrape thing up.
If we look over here we will see the patterning of the flame. This cloak reminds me of the 4th Hokage, Minato's cloak
A little bit reversed on how they did the colorization wise but some nice shading from the black up to the dark blue's.
Looking at the upper torso we can see he's in his classic pose with his arms crossed like when he first returned to the village
I believe he was standing on Gamakichi and so he has that perfect attitude. Great texturization all throughout as well!
On the very back we'll see a notch coming down at the bottom of the leather strap that holds the scroll.
This thing defies science itself... Coming up soon we'll be taking a look at the scroll and how
that giant scroll rests on this little notch and stays into place blows my mind! Honestly it's one of the scariest parts of this
statue is how it just rests there. So later on when I do display it I'm going to have it up next
to the wall so it can't fall off or roll off. Going up to the top we'll see the zipper was sculpted nicely this is actually
removable or it can move the zipper. They did such a perfect job with bringing this to life. They captured every
single details that you could imagine in the outfit.
In previous videos I did tease this statue with this scroll. It is insanely huge, truly a life size scroll.
Looking at the side here we will see as if it looks like it is rolled up so you have the different pages that
are wrapping and overlapping each other. The paint job on this is a little sloppy in certain areas
but you can't tell because of how large it is.
The leather that's holding the scroll together does look different from the leather strap that he has
on the main outfit here we can see it's more smooth and no texturing but it does have that
paint shading going on with the light and darker browns that do make it look like real leather.
Twisting this around I did want to show you the notch that it rests against that back portion of the leather
on the cloak. It's insane just this one singular area is how this giant scroll attaches itself
to this statue I just don't understand how they did it, here's another angle of the scroll as well
Looks so good! In comes the largest Headsculpt that I've ever held
and showcased on the channel. This bad boy is extremely heavy and solid. On the bottom
is the notch that connects to the neck area. It has a little bit of a magnet on there
so it stays into place but you'll see the skin tones were done really well, the hair as well.
Here's the back where the headband is going to go they did sculpt that strand that's flowing
in the air separately. Everything was sculpted very proportionately
we can see that ear there and we have the Kyubi markings that go on the side of the face
they're actually indented into the statue so it's not just a line of paint. Looking at the eyes
here it's just perfection they did an awesome job with bringing these to life he's so serious looking
because of the moment when he's entering the scene and then the headband looks metallic.
All around the studio did a fantastic job bringing this to life and they not only gave me this head
right here but they actually included a separate head that is an exact duplicate of the other. I kind of wish
they would have made a different emotion but I guess they did include two just incase
one maybe broke on transit or a piece of hair did but here's that headband piece that's
going to be flowing in the wind. There's the notch and the magnet that allows it to attach to the back of the head.
If for some reason someone is interested in buying that second head of Naruto I guess you can reach out to me
because they both arrived perfectly safe, I really have no need for the second. Here is my favorite
card in the Natuto CCG right here, Sage Mode Naruto. A little bit of a flex here showcasing that I do have
four actually a fifth I'll show later but these are the four I'm sending off to be graded. I want a really
good grade on this card so that's why I have amassed so many of them. I hope I can when I send them in soon.
Here is my collection, here's the fifth one right here. If everyone is interested in seeing all of my
Super Rare collection ALL of the Super Rare's in the CCG let me know in the comments below
I would gladly love to showcase that to everyone in a separate video.
Now that we've taken a look at all of different pieces lets go ahead and assemble it!
Assembling and moving this statue is one of the scariest experiences as a collector. I don't like
to say prices for most of my statues but I will say this statue was almost around $4,000 with the total
between the actual cost of the statue and then the shipping itself. This thing took up a whole
pallet in and of itself so it's just so much to move around. This piece right here specifically is one of the heaviest
things to lift it up is also awkward, you have to lift it over and around and once you get it above
there you also have to line up the notches of the waist and the top of the legs section to make sure
it does fit into place and you have to do so carefully so you're not putting too much pressure on the legs
and wobble it because you could maybe snap those legs off. Huge thanks again to my brother for
visiting and helping me do this video. He's been one my main supporters that's been with me in this journey
as many other friends that have been along for this ride so I'm super thankful to be able to share this kind of
apex moment of collectors and getting a life size statue to showcase on the channel
and enjoy in my collection!
Now with him fully assembled I have some furniture sliders on the bottom of that rock so we
can easily or more easily slide him around. So it's going to go at the bottom of my stairs
there's an indent in the wall so it can go right here and safely sit so as soon as you walk down stairs
this is what you're going to see and as soon as you leave the room this is the last thing that you're going to see.
As you can see it's a true 1:1 scale with where it stands and how tall it is compared to me.
I'm about 5' 10"-11" so you can get the size comparison there. As a collector it's been a dream to own a
life-size statue and to have one of Naruto in my favorite mode for me is a dream come true!
From the top of my heart thank you so much for supporting my channel. I hope you enjoyed
this video it's such an incredible thing to do to be able to share collectibles with people, relive these
experiences with everybody and enjoy our journey together. I hope again that you enjoyed yourself today.
I look forward to the many amazing statues on the horizon that we're going to be looking at.
As always everybody...I'll see you in the next video. Do what you love and love what you do...BAM out!!!
