Batman Statue Collector should ease off on the 'very awesome' comments.

He's just a very positive sort of guy.

Since his unboxings of his early Prime 1 Arkham pieces, he's always been like that.

And that was way before any sort of possible quid pro quo.

I think he went on to sell many of the Prime 1 Arkham pieces.
He sold the Sideshow Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman PF only to pick up the recent Sideshow Catwoman? (which looks nowwhere near as good)

Personally, i think Chris has caught the YouTube bug, and his focus is more towards getting new stuff in, even if it means selling stuff on. A type of revolving door approach. I question his passion for collecting these days.

I don't want to knock anybody on here, I guess you don't have much of a channel if you don't have anything to do videos on, but the tone of all these guys is not what drew me in originally to watch. Doesn't come across as authentic. I have noticed the shift as well and I rarely watch anymore.

I miss guys like BruceCambellsChin who probably stopped collecting.

Bruce is on Instagram and mostly posts about 80s action icons.

I've also noticed all the rah-rah cheerleading on the youtube statue collector channels, but I don't watch them for reviews, I just watch to get good looks at the statues in hand.

It does seem to me that youtube "reviewers" in general like getting free merch from the companies and so don't want to rock the boat so much.

It's a great portrait. A great Superman portrait. But it's just not Christopher Reeve. I will give it a 40-50% likeness. Not good at all.

This looks like a cheap plastic toy.

it's not just the sculpt though. They F'd up the fit of the costume like Prime did with Cavell Supes. What a shame.
