Damn I would love to own this statue. The Crow movie was one favorites growing up.

I have held off from buying but this review is making me reconsider. I always appreciate your honest review Gem!

He made his first appearance on Dead world #10

was a day 1 preorder, got mine last month and can't stop staring at it

Great statue!! I got this couple weeks ago and this is a rockstar piece ! Long live The Crow

I'm a huge fan of the Crow movie and this piece is excellent. However, I would have liked to see a switch out with the shotgun to provide a guitar and the arms to hold it.

Great review. Yup nails and a broken crow were my observations as well. Overall. Good piece and good price point. They got exact crows. We checked every box we got and it was 50% on those birds. But Sideshow handled it.

Oh man. The statue is not mine and yet it hurt me to see that breakage on the crow's wing. I have seen this sculpt of the Crow from Sideshow and I really like it. They didn't overdo it. They made it simple yet very impressive. Yea they should have put an extra peg on his left foot to prevent any wobbling. Still very nice sculpt representing the movie.

I definitely do want this in my place but with the lack of current space I think I'll probably stick with Sideshow's 1/6 scale figure. Also the soundtrack is GOATed

Yes the soundtrack was great!

Super dope thumbnail and that piece is amazing. Dang I want one now.

Thanks for another great review! 🙂

I’ve had this piece for a couple of weeks and while I was a bit hesitant at first, I’m glad I picked it up. Luckily no damage but that flap on his jacket has a mind of its own. New to your channel and loving all the great content.

Looks amazing! I'll be posing my Mezco Eric Draven in a similar way, but with the guitar.

Love the crow statue one of the best movies in that Era. Super dope homie

The portrait looks amazing, I may get this one due to I do have the action figure which looks awesome these would pair well together in my movie collection, nice video much love from the Bay Area 💯

At first I was like meh but the black in his outfit really jumps out and the detail to his face is pretty on point

I was tempted by the Crow because I grew up with it and enjoyed the movie, but glad I didn't give in. A wobbling statue is the one thing I can't look past unfortunately.

Awesome figure. Really captures some of the magic from this monumental movie. Love they took a conservative approach on the portrait

That thumbnail though 😂 awesome stuff!

Was on the fence with this piece. Your reverie really helped. Was torn on the mixed media after the reverie I'm sold on that but now I'm not sure on that portrait

i love the film and the statue. niceeee

A pretty solid piece of a great character. The wobble is definitely concerning, but looks good

Just unboxed mine today, apart from a couple of minor issues I love it

Which issues?

Amazing looking statue

Aside from the flames on the base looking like burnt cheese, I really like mine.

LED light up base would be cool. Also, that's a fire jacket you're wearing Gem. Where's it from?

This one AWESOME piece

One of my favorite movies

Awesome 🤩 🎉

*Victims Aren’t We All* “Eric Draven”

This is one that from a distance looks great. The closeup shots were kind of a turn off. Not one I’d pick up for the collection but I like that Sideshow is doing stuff for fans of this type of content.

I like the new hair cut!

Finally got this picked up from UPS after a big fiasco with the "delivery". Love this piece, sorry to hear about your bird. Problem I have with mine is the hand with the shotgun does not stick well with the magnet. I feel the key peg on the hand is too shallow and the hand with the gun can get knocked off easily. Does your statue have this problem? I also agree with you on the orange color on the base being a bit muted.

Wow. That actually looks like Brandon Lee.

There it is!🤘🏿

Pretty cool might revisit the movie

LOOOOOOOVE the Crow. amazing

Looking good Gem Mint.

(EDIT: @Z S changed my mind about the first part of this comment, and it’s still a cool statue). Eric Draven is in that Frankenstein, Baby Yoda, and Grand Central Station category where they will forever be known by the wrong name. Looks pretty good walking out of Gideon’s Pawnshop.

How so? In the comic he is simply known as Eric. The movie iteration, depicted by this statue, is Eric Draven. The movie is based off of the comic and adapted to screen with clear differences. No skull cowboy, top dollar and T-Bird swap, etc… so I don’t think he fits in that sense.

@@zs1962 I’m still not sure why you wrote, “I don’t think he fits in that sense.” It doesn’t seem to match my original comment, which made no reference to the comic. My response to your comment clarified my original intent. No one in the movie refers to Eric Draven as “The Crow.” According to the opening voiceover, “a crow” is believed to have certain roles and abilities. Sometimes the crow brings a soul back, but not always. It doesn’t require Eric in order to become an entity known as “The Crow.”

In the original comic series he refers to himself as The Crow when he signs a letter to Mr. Hook asking him to take care of his cat Gabriel. It takes place in Book Five: Death. In the special edition TBP it is page 198, bottom left panel. So I do believe it was O’Barr’s intention that Eric does become The Crow. Although, not mentioned in the movie I would think his view of himself would be the same. Just my opinion though.

Nice review man, I agree the fire is a bit yellow/brown, or at least that's what the camera picked up. Is this a keeper for you?

Cool statue

Gem it's persist! i got this piece, my favorite piece! #TheCrow forever!

Great piece!! to bad about the breakage tho!!

Very beautiful statue of the crow, cool the mix media with the leather for the jacket 🙂 Too Bad to see that some part of the crow wings are little broke 🙄

Love it brother 💪🖤😎

I like these crow pieces but I don’t like buying the pieces with pleather. I get mad when it starts deteriorating. I know there’s conditioners for it but I don’t want to have to keep doing that.

No way with the face paint, let’s go! Still one of my fav movies of all time!

I want this so bad! 😮‍💨

awesome

This is dope.

Sideshow is the best bang for your buck.

That is a nice looking jacket. Where is that from ?

Thank you for reviewing this statue Gem 👍❗ Honestly, I expected more from Sideshow....a lot more. The hands are absolutely nothing special and they look a bit weird. The head....I personally don't see Brandon ( RIP ) at all in that headsculpt. Also the crow and the gun, no shades or different types of black or weathering. Nothing. They are just painted black. Of course everything is just my personal opinion and once again thumbs up for your video 💎

I hope that you do a review of the Tales From The Crypt bookends, from Dark Horse Direct!

Wow it's a amazing statue.i have the Hot Toys of Eric Draven from the Crow. But I think 600$ are a little bit to much... Thanks for your unboxing

Gem are you still doing comic book reviews

It looks exactly like him, great likeness. But yea that wobble would bother me, but for $600 that ES wouldn’t bother me.

I really wanted this statue when it came out but $600 was kind of pushing it for me - not because I couldn't afford it but sometimes you value what it's worth and how much you're willing to pay for it! Luckily, Sideshow had a deal that had me pull the trigger on The Crow statue by including Hot Toys Captain Marvel Deluxe Edition 1/6 figure for free ($265+)! 😁

I like this piece but I feel the hands are a bit weak and they could have done more variations in the black color on the crow, like making his beak more grey and matte.

This may be an odd place to ask this however I am reaching out for some guidance anywhere I can. I have a statue paid in full plus shipping and I am waiting for it to ship. I was informed it was ready to be sent on 12/12/2022 the shipping was paid no later than 2 days after, I reached out after no word and recieved a message on the 12/21/2022 saying that the supplier was unavailable and it would ship when they can, it is now 01/16/2023 and still no word, am I in the right to ask for a refund?

My older brother sold me his NECA cult classic HoF The Crow and I have it singed by the creator of the Crow, I told my brother about it and he said good thing I sold it to you. I know it not a statue but I just wanted to share.

I would have bought this had it been fully sculpted.

Originally had this on Pre Order ever since it was announced on the site, loved it by the prototype photo's then last few months it had the updated look now and it just didn't look as good to me as the prototype. Still cool none the less but the moment they changed it from it's prototype version It wasn't for me.

A few months ago you said that if someone asked for a video enough that it would happen. SO I would like to request a review of one of those B-Style Bunny Figures cause it will make me laugh. Please, and thank you.

The crows statue looks

I saw this in MidTown Comics, so glad I did not pick it up. The prototype looked way better. Looks cheaply produced.

That’s subway fresh bro bro

Love the crow and really wanted to love this piece, but I think sideshow missed on the likeness.

I would have bought this but I'm not a big fan of mixed media (even Gem was frustrated with the one jacket flap). Also, that crow is fragile as all can be. I MAY buy it though if there is a big 30-35% off sale but for now, I'm not interested.

I have this statue n i like it but my only issue is it should've came with his guitar. The guitar is iconic in thy l the movie!

Would have bought this if it had been fully sculpted

Its real leather or fake? But awesome statue :)

Amazing looking statue, but like yours my crow came with damaged feathers. I can’t even find one of them. Very disappointing.

Update! I’m ecstatic to say that Sideshow took care of me and shipped me a replacement crow (bird) and it is undamaged! Money well spent and recommend this if you’re an OG fan!

Looks awesome. They did a fantastic job on the 1/6 figure as well

Seems like there's never gonna be a statue that actually looks like Brandon Lee

He should also be carrying the guitar.

20% off today at Sideshow.

Is that gasoline i smell?

I think it would look a lot better without the crow on his shoulder

Would've liked him to look more like Brandon Lee :(

Do u regret getting your tattoos?

Good piece but I would pay $150 MAX for this.

Idk the pose is just OK, he's kinda got that sassy walk going on

Idk I feel like his face doesn’t really look like Brandon, and it’s pretty expensive for something that lacks that important detail

That paint on the flesh is rough 😬

In my honest opinion the portrait is bad! That is definitely not Brandon Lee the likeness is definitely off, and I must say Sideshow has really been struggling with likeness on their portraits lately IMO.

*The face scuplt doesn't look like Brandon and Mixed Media sux. Sideshow failed on this.*

I can't help but look at this rather expensive statue and think... I'm better off buying the 1/6 scale Hot Toys or Sideshow figure...

ahhh doesn't great tbh. love the movie so much. There are way better looking Crow statues I would like to get

RIP Brandon Lee The Crow is an all time great character, this statue is a bit underwhelming

I know this isn't the place for politics... But the crow is a film that should be remastered Not remade

Nice statue but it's a hard pass for me. I can't stand mixed media.

Looks good but not like Brandon...

I think they could have done better

Does not look like Brandon Lee, I’ll wait a little longer.

Face does not look like Brandon Lee at all, glad I did not purchase one myself
