"I don't think you understand the purpose of toy reviews. You watch them not to be told how to feel about a figure. You watch them to see what potential issues there are with it, such as fragility issues, tolerance problems, overcomplicated/unfun transformation, shit articulation, etc. You watch multiple reviews to to see if several people see the same problems to see how widespread the problems may be. Maybe one reviewer just got a bad copy or maybe it's across all copies. Some reviewers are better at covering some aspects than others too, such as articulation. Some reviews don't even show the transformation.
You don't watch the reviews to be told how to feel, you watch them to understand what to expect and decide if you should purchase the toy or not."
Do we need reviews? Nah not really but it's handy to have them around, for older figures especially. Personally though I prefer written reviews so I don't have to listen to anyone.
