The Figure Collector’s Guide to Honest and Fun YouTube Reviews | By: Kozmic Collector

 

I’ve been collecting superhero figures for two and a half years and in that time, I have managed to find my way into collecting a wide assortment of characters. These include Marvel, DC, Masters of the Universe, Power Rangers, GI Joe, Star Wars, Gargoyle’s, Thundercats, Silverhawks, Ninja Turtles, and most recently Mythic Legions. Being a participant in that many lines will eat a hole in your wallet quickly! It can be daunting trying to figure out what to collect. Prices and functionality can vary greatly. And character accuracy can be elusive. How many articulation points are needed? And will there be a better version coming sooner than I can say “Spider-Man”?!

Fortunately, I’ve found an array of figure review channels on YouTube to help sort it all out (and they share my zeal for collecting!) It’s a fun community to be a part of, after all, the characters we collect have a rich history in print media and television and most definitely pluck at our nostalgia heartstrings!

I’m drawn to presenters who know the source material; they’re honest and constructive with their criticisms; ideally, they cover several lines; and most importantly they make their presentations fun and engaging. They take into consideration the points of articulation, accurate paint application, the body mold used for the figure (is it outdated), the number and usefulness of accessories, and price.

I don’t intend to rank them with the exception that my favorite five channels will be listed at the end. I want to promote the remainder of my favorites first so that you’ll make sure and give them all a visit!

Hopefully you will find them as helpful as I do and have a few laughs along the way!
