Some reviewers won't look past problems, but for the most part, the thing I appreciate about reviews the most is just seeing a clear picture/different angles of the piece, to decide for myself. What the reviewer actually says is less important to me, unless they are detailing a specific problem that you can't see (like build quality).

There is some truth here for sure.. I do videos and I look back at them and some of the pieces I don't have anymore.. Having said that I still liked the pieces I sold... Its just I had to move on to something better and make room..
I think if you watch my SSC Vader review you can tell I am not all that impressed but man do I love that Iron Studios Vader and you can tell in that video also
You can tell I have no love for the 1/5 scale Avengers Assemble Hulk.
But I agree about not being able to be a 100% unbiased when its a piece you liked in the first place.
As for this Logan.. I had no interest until the In hand videos... and I just got it delivered today and you know what... Its a pretty fantastic piece.. If you are a Wolverine fan I cant see not loving it. The paint apps are top notch.. The arms and hand sculpts are some of the best out there. Both head sculpts are great, which surprised me as I did not like the Ex in the videos.
The base is killer and really tells a story.. Those scratch marks on the floor belong to Sabertooth for sure... Very cool.
As for the fabric pants.. I would have preferred sculpted for sure.. But its not a deal breaker..
