Hello everyone... I'm pretty new to the collecting game, and I'm sure you all have your favorite review sites/blogs out there (preferably for 12" action figs, prop replics, and statues). Can you anyone recommend some to me? Yes, I *can* Google it, but I'd rather have the recommendation of my peers, what with all the utter CRAP that is out there in cyberspace. Thanks in advance...

the only toy review site I know is Michael Crawford's Review of the Week. He actually updates more than once a week and his reviews are really Well-Written and cover a wide range of toys. He grades on a number of different topics (articulation, value, packaging, etc.) and his reviews are interesting enough that I can usually read them even if I have no interest in the character or toy line in question.

He also has an archive of all his past reviews and he does a good job keeping up with the industry. I don't have a lot of time or money to invest into this hobby anymore and I've learned about more than one great figure I would have missed if not for his site. I even emailed him to thank him for doing such a nice job and he replied genuinely grateful for the feedback. I would recommend dropping him a line of appreciation if you find his site useful, he seems to work really hard at it.

He doesn't seem to review Star Wars items. I don't know if this is of interest to you or not but their are other specialized sites like Galactic Hunter That are good for that.

Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone would ever reply! I guess this board isn't the *most* active. I've been reading Chud for a while and never really post, but I thought I'd give it a try. Those were great suggestions - I love Michael Crawford's site and will definitely write him a note.... Thanks again!
