I like @Bots and Bits for his genuine, helpful reviews.

I like emgo b/c his transformations are pretty easy to follow and I like the personality he puts in. He also doesn't mince words that his stuff comes from BBTS.

I like BSF b/c he calls it as he sees it. Same as above - I don't always agree, but it's interesting to hear his perspective and then compare it to when I figures in hand whether I feel the same.

There are some reviewers who just provide an overview/showcase of the figure and then some who provide an opinion (sometimes tainted by the store they are representing). To be honest - I like hearing the opinionated ones more than the overview/showcases as it's just more interesting to me. The reviewers that just gush about how wonderful a figure is I avoid like the plague b/c I find them irritating.

But to each his own. We can all have our favorites and still get along  

 

I've been liking his videos lately too, I like that he actually points out things that bug him about a figure, even if it's not a popular opinion.

 

Thew - For his humour and getting through all the important parts of a figure quickly, also his knock off beatdowns are amazing.

TJOmega - Again I like his humour though it was more prevalent in his Plastic Addict reviews which I am a big fan of, his main reviews I don't watch as much unless I want to hear his opinion on a certain toy or when he finds something really unusual no one else has covered.

Vangelus - Pretty funny, I don't find myself watching his reviews as often as I used to but I do love his little animations he does and his own storylines he makes up.

Emgo - Another funny guy (Sad Pacman!) he's good for watching when you want to find stuff on almost everything in a toyline.

Chefatron - Pretty great, he's more informative about his stuff but I still find his views on things interesting it also helps that he likes other things that I like so I have more than just Transformers to watch him for.

Baltmatrix - Much like Emgo he is very good at reviewing almost everything in a given toyline and like TJOmega he'll sometimes cover stuff I haven't seen before.

TheCollector75 - Very good for watching when there's some obscure knock offs you want videos of.

I did also used to watch Dyansis (Silverbolt) and NBNA100 (Starscream) but they don't upload as regularly as they used to.

 

It's sad to see him go, but seeing he has got better things to do tonight than make an actual review, it must be production hell and he might be disatisfied with it and editing, I mean, he did go live and it was hours of filming and stuff. Best wishes for him.

 

I started out as a Skullface skeptic. I'll be honest, his demeanor/persona turned me off.

But he has grown on me. I love how he will declare outright positives and negatives, and (most importantly) if he recommends something. Structure is important.

 

Sad but I get it. Luckily, there are tons of people to still watch. He shall be missed.

 

Paik for life
Peaugh
Skullface
A3U
Vangelus
Emgo
Peaugh n emgo for trouble transforming n tips

 

Benscollectables because as far as how he reacts to toy issues/plastic quality tends to jive with my own. It's useful to know figure out what might be hyperbole or whatevs from feedback I read elsewhere.
Vangelus
Peaugh
Emgo for size comparisons (which are usually decent)

 

thats you?

i watched volume 1: key to the city.. good stuff.. when does vol 2 come out?

 

Primarily Peaugh and Vangelus(when he gets a chance). As they obviously takes time with stuff before filming to get familiar with it.

I like Wotafa a lot even though I can only understand a few words here and there he is extremely through.

I like Ben as he gets a lot of abstract stuff which appeals to me. Like off brand knock offs or some abstract series from over seas.

I can only take Emgo in increment I personally don't think he's very funny but he cranks out videos like a mad man. So if it's something I'm really interested in I'll watch.

There are a few reviewers I simply can't even watch at all. Too whiny or opinionated on a character baised level or they come off to pretentious over a toy. Yeah it's awesome and sought after but at the end of the day it's still a toy.

 

I go to skullface for reviews, as i find my opinions aligning with his more often than not. Ben for transformation tutorial.

 

I'm working on it now. It will be late October, as I'm waiting for a surprise character. I'll release a trailer when I know when I'll have it done.  

 

Vangelus is really good. His setup is a tad too dark but he does in depth reviews and is honest.
Jobbythe Hong is my personal favorite.
Bobby is good too because he's opinionated and a transparent anti-shill. He fetish for paint is notable though.
Peaugh always struck me as either too neutral or a shill. He seems to like everything.
Emgo is the audio equivalent of smashing my hand with a rubber mallet. How anyone tolerates that crap is beyond me.

 

In order for me.

1. Skullface
2. Thew
3. Chosen Prime
4. Ben
5. Emgo

 

Bobby Skullface for the low down on most toys....even if I don't always agree I feel it's more honest (unless it's Fans Toys, then he seems more easy going but I know that going in)

Emgo for how to and general reviews. He will call issues that are a big problem and give you a good transformation video. I don't know how many times he'll stop and go "See this tab here? Right there. That goes into this so don't miss that" sort of thing. Too many reviewers transform like they're late for lunch or something and just tearing ass though it so you have to go "Whoa whoa there cowboy. Slow down and let me rewind you for the 5th time since you didn't keep it in camera either" - Lastly, I think he's funny as hell so my sense of humor is probably something that would annoy everyone else here too because his videos feel like I'm hanging out with a friend who collects these and just wants to have fun with them. (Second verse, same as the first because it's Precious!!!! So precious!!!!)  

 

In this order for me:

Bobby Skullface
Optibotimus
Emgo
BensCollectables
Vangelis
Thew (comes last as minimal content compared to the above)

 

Thew is by far the most entertaining.

Peaugh and BensCollectables are my usual go-to reviewers if I want to know more about a figure or I need some guidance on transformation.

If I'm really stuck I'll use Emgo for transformation, because he is by far the most thorough when it comes to pointing out quirks and figuring out the best order to do things, but his "humor" and constant need to do weird singsongy voices in lieu of a personality is just completely awful. I really want to like his stuff because he clearly knows what he's talking about but it's like being stuck in line in front of that weird dude who won't stop telling you about his pen-and-paper Star Wars RPG campaign.

 

Honestly at this point probably just Vangelus. Even if I don't agree with a lot of his basic principles (eg he doesn't mind gappy forearms in figures, I can't stand them), I enjoy his reviews from both an informative and entertainment perspective.

If I need help figuring out how to transform a figure I'll stick on whoever else, unfussed who.

I'll echo the sentiment that Peaugh often comes off to neutral or a bit like a shill. I've found that his reviews of non Transformers stuff are not well informed at all - for example his review of the Saberforge Exalted.

This. Can't stand it to the point that it's actually made me turn off his reviews on the odd occasion that he's first with content on a newer figure.

 

Does Thew post here? He's just so darn fun!
