Dear god that was painful to watch. I knew it was going to be bad when he went on the "Detail bad, simple good!" rant with a dash of "BAY SUXX LOLOLOLOL!". I mean, seriously, I'm wondering if these people who complain about figures being "too detailed" are actually neanderthals incapable of processing anything more complex than a box. His comments on the colour were...baffling really. The red on Phobus provides balance to the combined form, avoiding the left and right arms from contrasting too much, and the spot colours to the sculpted detail bring out a lot of the sculpting work that would be lost with simple block colouring.
With the proportions, I think he was trying to dress up the fact that Feral Rex, for all his advantages, has some seriously wonky proportions, notably abnormally long forearms, a tiny upper body and what looks like elephantitis on his lower legs.
As for the stability section...I smell a shill, or at best a clumsy idiot. I'm not sure how the ankles work (I assume they're ball-joints, which are easy to tighten up) but the loose hip ratchets are so easy to fix it's mind-boggling he didn't think of it- JUST TIGHTEN THE GODDAMN SCREWS. Loose joints are an unfortunate reality of toy collecting- I collect Figmas and almost every single one I own has needed some sort of tightening done to the joints. TFC are usually known for very sturdy joints on figures, so I'm wondering if he got a duff sample (which any reviewer should take into consideration with a figure, especially one as large and complex as Ares or Feral Rex- no 2 figures are the same, especially with plastic tolerances).
Overall I'd say he's either a paid shill for MMC (which would sadden me greatly as I do like MMC as a company- I love their stuff, especially their Hearts of Steel Seekers, which I've been meaning to get) or just an idiot.
Ha ha Transformers go brrrrr
