TM2 Dinobot Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 http://www.cooltoyreview.com/DST_mm.asp They seem woefully understaffed. I don't like the way they do their stuff. I like a little bit of text and review with my pictures. Kinda like MMC. Though that's been a bit heavy on the text and light on the pics lately (not a jab!). I think TNI does a good job of blending the two. Though they don't have Minimates. Shame. Millionaire Playboy does an excellent job, though they don't update enough.

karamazov80 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Strange that despite their name, that site does not really review toys from what I can gather. Its nice to see some pics from various toy lines, but still. . .maybe they are going a little far in trying not to offend sponsors? Or maybe they are just understaffed like you say, so they don't have time to do more than to take some pics every once in a while. As an aside regarding toy review sites, though they don't focus heavily on Minimates, I really like the reviews here: http://www.mwctoys.com/reviews-movie.htm And here, where some Minimates do get reviewed now and then: http://www.oafe.net/new.php Nice places to research toys and waste time.

TM2 Dinobot Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Well I know they're the same guys who run www.rebelscum.com, and I have never cared for their reviews as they're nothing but pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaPeel Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 A review can also be to study or look at something, not just write up a 5-star scale text report on something. So, the name isn't wrong, it's just not what people would normally think of when you think of a toy review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Personally I love Michael's Review of the Week. Some very nice text and always great pics. OAFE do some really nice stuff too, they are a little more lighthearted than Michael which isn't a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 A review can also be to study or look at something, not just write up a 5-star scale text report on something. So, the name isn't wrong, it's just not what people would normally think of when you think of a toy review. Well, yeah, but that gives no opinion on how nice the figure is or what flaws it has!
