I watch Bobby Skullface, Peaugh, Benscollectibles, and Vangelus.

Skullface has some different opinions than I do...but he's extremely detailed, and his evaluation is always very helpful even when I don;t necessarily agree.

Peaugh is a long-time standard for me. High quality reviews, and usually great transformation instructions that I can easily understand if I get a little stuck. Again I don;t always agree, but he gives me the information I need.

Vangelus is informative and gives great reviews in addition to being entertaining. The only reason I don't rely on him for more of my TF reviews is just because he reviews the figures I'm interested in less frequently. Often I'm watching his review after I've already purchased the figure.

Ben is informative (even though he can sometimes be more forgiving than I would be), and my inner fanboy agrees with every word he says.

Between those guys I can generally get a pretty good sense of which figures I'll like and which ones I should pass on.

Also, while I like his videos less, I love looking at TJ's pictures.

 

Bobby Skullface and Emgo.

 

For comedic reviews I usually watch Thew and Vangelus. When I want just a solid review of a figure I usually watch Peaugh and Optibotimus.

 

It used to be Peaugh and Optibotimus. Now I less watch Peaugh because he never brings in proper scale reference. "Here's MP scale Spotter. And here is he next to some obscure generations toy and G1 beachcomber." :/

I refuse to watch Optibotimus. Even if he was the last and only reviewer.

I have been watching and enjoying a lot more Emgo and especially Benscollectibles.

 

Emgo for most reviews. If I feel the need for another opinion I'll watch Peaugh

 

Vange1us, Rolloutreviews, Thew, Jobbythehong, and TypeV3. They're the only ones who know what they're doing. Seriously, editing is not that hard! It's not like you have to do fancy junk, just cut your pauses, skip or montage through the transformation, and never, ever do a damn box review. Oh, and one more kinda small thing: don't review on your carpet. If you can't find or afford a cleanish table, preferably against a wall or something, just please don't bother.

Edit: Oh yeah, another rule: I tend to hate it when someone feels like a sellout in a certain hard-to-define way.

 

What ever Google gives me in the search results.

 

Always have a bunch I always watch anytime they post new stuff, but the bolded are my favorites.

Bobby Skullface L, John Garringer, benscollectibles, emgo316, Thew Adams, chefatron, optibotimus, baltmatrix, Vangelus, peaugh, felzbug, breaux man.

 

Thew - funny
John Garringer - prolific and probably honest about his opinions
T2rx6
Emgo
Felzbug

 

John Garringer, Emgo, Bobby skullface, and Baltmatrix.

 

I watch them all, some exagerate, some are spot on, the truth lies somewhere in between all their opinions. Shouldnt just go by one, someone's sample could have assembly issues that another does not. When you see common themes, its a good sign there is an actual issue.

 

I prefer vangelus over all other reviewers. His are just more fun to watch and he does a good job in being honest - not every figure is great. I wish he did more reviews. If he did, my list would end here.

Next would be optibotimus and peaugh.

I like optibotimus cause he normally does both transformations (bot to atl and atl to bot). Most reviewers only do alt to bot and that tends to be the easier transformation (I don't normally need any help that way)

Peaugh is my final - catch all reviewer. He reviews almost everything so I rarely come across anything he misses. It is irritating that he reviews everything but rarely has any bots worth comparing too - MP's especially.

 

Bobby Skullface: He is blunt and isn't afraid to speak his mind mind (or lobs CW Menasor to ground). Some of his skits are pretty good. Sometimes I disagree with his views, but oh well.

Peaugh: He reviews everything and I can tell if a figure has issues by the way he handles them.

Paik4Life: He's very meticulous and transforms figure both ways. The videos he creates are long, but they are better than the instructions.

Benscollectables: Very positive reviewer and his passion for collecting is fun to watch. I have bought figures I didn't plan on getting because of his reviews.

Vangelus has been my favorite for awhile.

 

I typically dislike video reviews. I can read a written review much faster that watch a video. Most reviewers I've seem "umm" and "aww" too much for me, make bad jokes, and try to be too fancy with music and such.

 

Agree with you on the "umm" and "aww" a lot, and bad jokes and music too. I don't watch review to help me make decision on buying things, I use it to help transformation sometimes, and I watch more review of the figure that I love after I already brought it, am I wired?

 

Peaugh is the only reviewer where I watch pretty much all of his reviews. Usually strikes a pretty good balance between length and being thorough and I'm usually left with a pretty clear idea on whether I'll like a figure or not after watching. Been helpful a few times when stuck on a transformation too.

Vangelus is great fun, but it feels a little more like watching a show than following a review. So while he is informative too I generally treat his reviews more as entertainment rather than really deciding me on a figure.

baltmatrix was the first reviewer I started following and I still check his reviews out. Tend to disagree with his opinions a bit more, but still shows things off pretty clearly and his reviews are on the shorter side which makes them easy to fit in.

Otherwise I enjoy benscollectables too and watch Thew and Mitch Santona sometimes. Recently watched some videos from Old Painless here too and I thought those were really good.
