He's given high scores and praised a bunch of figures in several reviews...especially in these past few weeks, including most of the Venom wave, the Jazwares Master Chief, several of the recent Mafex Batman releases, most of the G.I.Joe Classified line, Rogue and Pyro and of course the recent Storm in which he constantly gushed about her "cakes".

I enjoy the guy's reviews to be honest, and truthfully, I value his opinion over that of many of the more popular YouTubers, because he's more willing to call a spade a spade. (And I watch A LOT of different reviewers, including MCUCollector, Toy Bro, Unparalleled Universe, Optibotimus, DAmazing, and others...) I feel a lot of these YouTube influencers give toy companies a pass in order to not burn bridges with their suppliers who provide them with review samples or sponsorships. Does Anthony nitpick? Yes.
Does he harp on issues like anatomy a bit much? Absolutely. Is he constantly plugging his own products? It's his channel...so why shouldn't he? In the end though, not everything gets a ten out of ten or an orgasmic S.U.D. rating like some reviewers tend to give, and that's what gets my attention. When Anthony gives something a good review rating, or gushes about something in a video, it's the fact that he's not so quick (or easy) to give praise. It becomes a cause for me to take notice, as it makes the review feel just a tad bit more credible than all the rest.

Totally concur. In other words, he's not a kiss ass. If a figure sucks, he'll say so. Just like him, I don't collect 6' figures of cosplaying Hollywood actors, just comic based ones. Where you see Thor, I see Chris Hemsworth in a movie Thor costume. I see Scarlet in a tight Leather outfit, not BW.
