More REVIEWS are up

[Sonneilon]

I have upwards of 30 Reviews written with several more in queu. The problem is getting to the computer to type 'em all in. And then there's the whole picture-taking thang. I may not post much in the PHOTOS section, but most of my energy is going into REVIEWS.

And just FYI, I'm working up a lil contest for you guys. There'll be all sorts of goodies and it'll be open to everyone. It's all free, of course!

Terrific. I don't have any of those figures so that's great. You all know that you can throw down ARAH reviews too, right? See if they can stand the passage of time or not?

A lot of the fun with both (late) Reviews and the Target Range is to see if these figures can match up. Most reviews on these sites are done right when the figures come out, y'know? But I thought it'd be fun and informative to do reviews years later to see if the figures are still cool. Cuz toy fans love to find what they missed.

So a figure like Interrogator... It hasn't been years but the fact is that he's an A+ figure and if one missed out, they really missed out. I'm willing to say that years from now, fans who missed out on this figure will really have missed out on him. But you take a figure like the VvV Hawk and you aren't missing anything. Or JvC Grunt, y'know?

In terms of ARAH, I want people's opinions if they can withstand the passage of time. We KNOW that figures like Tunnel Rat, Falcon, Repeater and Hawk v2 can NOT be surpassed. Hasbro's had 20 years to do a better Hawk and we've yet to see it, right? Shoot, even Flash and Grand Slam are still great figures and will always be better than, oh... WideScope and RedSpot.

Sometimes, it just comes down to which version looks better. I sample the ARAH Footloose vs DTC Footloose. I'd take nu FutLooze over ARAH simply cuz the sculpting is modernized. The old Footloose, he might have a great body but the head screams 80s which means, there's no tight sculpting in the face. NOT that all 80s suffered from that. Hawk and Tunnel Rat were already mentioned, y'know? Those are just my opinions, of course.

I might try a RAH review. I think that'd be pretty cool. Gotta read a few before I do one though.

Just do the best you can.........that's all that we require of you!!!! :cool:

My own writing and the way I do the reviews have changed since I started. I try to distinguish the difference between Design and Sculpting because they aren't the same thing, y'know? Design is huge but what's it matter if the guy doing the sculpting SUCKS??? lol

I just added one for the 2005 Tele Viper.

I've got a very long winded review coming up as soon as I get the pic done. It's not overly drawn out though, just found I had a lot to say about the figure/character. I'm hoping not to step on any toes and that you guys'll breeze right through it (i.e. like it :o )

You guys are all doing a great job on the reviews, keep them coming!

Feel free to argue, bash, discuss and uh, talk about the reviews. They are singular reviews and I'm always willing to see the light on figures.
