    I saw Bobby's review... He really shouldn't review anything that doesn't meet his personal standard, because otherwise it is just "cheap"

    Do not watch Bobby Skull Face reviews.
    For him, everything he reviews is cheap and stupid. He sounds so pissed in every Video. Nothing is good enough for him; Not Cang Toys, Not TFC, Not Toyworld
    everything is cheap shit in his eyes.

    BUT WAIT, total suprise:
    Flame Toys is good enough for him.

    Yes haha, Flame Toys. Biggest Scalpers ever with their 500$+ Figures.

    BSF "Personal Standards" are the biggest Bullshit I have ever seen; everything sucks but Flame Toys. Only Flame Toys is the Holy Grail....no they are not.

    From my Point of View, Flame Toys sucks.
    Quality can be archieved with lower Prices. No Reason to charge 600$ for a IDW Megatron. This beyond Insane for a 23cm Figure.

    That's probably the best advice.

    See I'm gonna have to disagree with Flame Toys sucking. Their Star Saber is my favorite figure I own. it is the figure that everyone notices when they visit. I still don't own any figure that holds a candle to it. I still love my TFC, MMC, and Maketoys figures but they aren't comparable. Just different strokes for different folks. Now do I buy many of their releases? Hell no. I'd have to give up collecting all other lines for that. Now if they ever make a Grimlock.....

    I cracked and pre-ordered Flame Toys' Windblade. I wish she transformed, sure, but I still think it's a great design.

    Yea I agree with you on this. He once put out a video where he threatened a retailer for not supporting his requests for early samples for him to review.

    I stopped clicking on anything from him cause I don't want him getting paid for any his vomit reviews lol

    and Zeta. He loves Zeta. Out of the handful of videos I've see from him, two things stick out the most: 1) his love for zeta, and 2) how he always scratches his arms/body.

    I don't mind BSF, as he's one of the few youtube types that actually seems to review the figures rather than just showcase them. However, his standards are getting way too high these days. If it isn't at least 60% diecast, slathered in paint and comes with a free massage, he just isn't interested any more.

    Most of the time, BSF buys his own stuff, and he's always upfront when he's reviewing something that someone sent to him. It's fine if you don't like him, what's not fine is accusing someone without proof.

    judging by that ya’ll are buying this set he just doesnt see the figures from the same viewpoint

    i’d assume most people on here actually transform or pose or play with their figures to some extent, whereas Bobby is looking at it solely from a display piece pov

    imo its not fair to trash on people’s reviews when you’ll never like them because you just see the hobby in a totally different way than they do

    A review should show what the figures are engineered to do, whether it be the transformation, the poseabilty and anything else. Bsf often misses stuff, and that's ultimately the hill I would die on for why I think he is a bad reviewer. He can have his biases and specific collecting interests, fine, most do, but I reckon if you review a figure, you oughta show all the figure can do.
    But whatever who cares, its more tf content on YouTube for us to rummage through, so long as we have others to correctly show transformations and features in-depth, BSF is allowed to have his corner.

    Well you mightve seen more of his videos than I have. All of the review videos that I've seen from him (and ive only seen a few) were of figures that he didnt own. As for proof, I dont have it. Not willing to click on any of his links just to post on here either.

    honestly i barely watch reviewers nowadays and just watch those random Chinese channels that just transform the figure and spin it around or show a couple poses

    Me too, anything that isn't Fanstoys or Zeta is not his.

    This is typically what I look for as well. I am more interested in the figures design than someone's opinion of it.
    However, there is a certain fairness in reviewing the reviewer. Like anyone else on the Internet, he puts his opinions out there and not everyone is going to agree with them. And, as it is, folks have the right to have an opinion on his opinions. Or even trash them the way he trashes certain figures.

    No one forced him to begin a career as an Internet personality. Certainly, fewer support it these days. If he didn't want people to publicly disagree with his opinions, he probably should have just not made the video of them.

    He portrays himself as a tough kid. He wants you to think he'll be all right with the way it is.
