I like reviewers who really know their stuff. They mention/talk about the original namesake and point out the differences and similarities in the mold/colors. I'm not a fan of reviewers who love every toy, I'd like to have an honest review that isn't afraid to tell me that a toy sucks.

I like toy reviews. I usually read or watch a review or two if there's an expensive figure I plan on buying. Oddly enough, I ALWAYS watch/read as many reviews as possible AFTER I buy an expensive figure on Ebay.

The guy you mentioned is a good reviewer, but other good reviews include Peaugh, Dyanisis, and JTMitchell. These reviews usually help me decide if I want to buy a toy or not. I've actually seen some reviews that I just watch out of boredom and then get inspired to search out the figure on Ebay.

JTMitchell is an entertaining reviewer. :)

Peaugh is good, he has such an extensive list of reviews!

I too like reviewers who have subjectivity. I'd like to know the good points and bad points of a particular figure.

Peaugh needs to spend a bit more time on the figures themselves He kinda gets through the transformation and ends the video. But otherwise he's pretty good.

I really enjoy bikertrashwolf, even though sometimes he's a tad hard to follow.

Most of the time he cracks me up with his reviews, and I end up getting to know the figure well.

I also like Collectiondx, though their TF reviews are few and far between. They have very good reviewers, and I enjoy the non TF reviews as well. specially the Gokin, and the Macross figure reviews.


There's one reviewer who tends to make the most detailed reviews, and gives BG on figures etc. his reviews are really excellent, unfortunately he tends to take a very long time between reviews. He's CrazyJaco from Powet.tv

Yeah, sometimes Peaugh doesn't go into much detail and really review a figure but he has a lot of reviews. I've noticed that on molds that are repaints, if he has reviewed the mold before, he won't go into a lot of detail on the review other than point out key differences between repaints.

I really like barutazaru's review on Classics Hound. He actually reminds me of a close friend of mine. Unduhgrowth! I love me Classics Hound.

I like that Peew's reviews are straight forward and he doesn't spend a ton of time babbling about the obvious. The most annoying thing I think are the dudes that point out the color schemes and name every color on the figure. I think you can easily see that in pictures elsewhere on the net that are a helluva lot more clear than YouTube. I watch video reviews to see the transformations to make sure I'm not spending $40 on Animated Leader Megatron who has a lame 3 step, Gobot-like transformation...
