Maybe not an art per se... But in this way, I was really trying my hardest to flex and see what my editing/creative writing could come up with.

Basically... I'm a VERY big fan of most things First 4 Figures do, but only recently dived in to buy one of their statues. The first one I got? Classic Sonic 12" statue.

Basically... I've looked around Youtube quite extensively but have been yet to find a video which comprehensively looks at any of these statues in detail. That's what I hope to achieve with these videos (and maybe throw in some extras as well).


F4F 12 inch Classic Sonic Statue Review



F4F 6 Mini Figure Pack Review




EXTRAS

"How it all began...: A look into 1995" (See page 1)


Upcoming reviews which will be treated in this way include the Metal Sonic Exclusive,The Generations Collector's edition and the Knuckles Exclusive. If there are any which people may like to see, let me know and I will see what I can do.

I welcome any comments or constructive criticisms anyone may have. Hope you all enjoy!

Hang on a sec. My Sonic doesn't have shiny shoes nor did he come in that specially detailed outer cardboard box. =( It's no.649 and I got it direct from F4F.

Really good review there. I like your method of making the video and adding commentary over the top of it. It makes the whole thing sound much more professional cause you're not going "and uh... umm.. it's uhh" all the time. Awesome job!

Amazing work on the review, I actually felt entertained watching it! Adding footage of playing the classics was without a doubt brilliant.

I was on F4F's Twitter too?? Posted Image I know they put me on their Facebook page but wow! Many thanks for all the comments everyone! For now... I think I have a new project to work on and that's the 6-pack of mini figs. The in-depth of writing will remain the same, but at the same time theres not AS much I can talk about with them. Posted Image

Hope to get some things done for that video in the coming weeks!

EDIT: I've now got a good general direction for this review. Can't delete this post!

Double-posts are us! >.<

Basically... What I'm looking for is some advice from all of you.

For the upcoming video, it's all been shot and the footage has been converted for edit. However, I cannot decide on a theme for the video. What I mean... For my Classic Sonic review, I chose to use Sonic 2 as a base for the theme (Title cards, transitions, music etc).

Basically, what sort of theme do you think I should follow for this review? It's fairly tricky with 6 different figures to talk about so I can't keep it exclusively Sonic 1 themed/Sonic CD themed or whatever.

What are your thoughts?

Hello all! I think it's long overdue an update... but another review is up an availible to watch!

I would like to thank Hogfather for allowing me to look at this set in a similar fashion to him. Hope you all enjoy!



Expect another video (Possibly) as soon as the end of this week!

Like I said in the video.

I'm flattered that you credited me a much as you did, lol but you really didn't need to do it that much, it wasn't a big thing I did in my old vid, I just happened to have the Tomy Figures to hand and thought 'hmm I wonder how they compare to the F4F's' but it is really cool to see a fully boxed Tomy set compared to the F4F one.

And I agree, I think that F4F's figures are a bit too fragile to play with, I remember playing with my Knuckles and the Green Badnik toy for ages, no way could I do that with Sonic and Metal Sonic.

A little something extra for you all... In the first Sonic statue review I did, I included some footage of me playing my megadrive when I was 5...

Basically, I found more tapes and put this little video together Posted Image



Don't lie... Is this how it unfolded for some of you? Be interesting to know!

Again, I would be very pleased to hear people's thoughts on the video and such. Good luck if you wish to sit through the whole thing! Posted Image

A very short and quick on from me. These pocket watches are truly beautiful things... I tried to capture some of that in this short montage I put together:



Hope you like!

And now for something not really that much different.



Hope everyone enjoys this one! Animating parts of it was a real pain in the backside. XD

Not exactly a review, but it's video game related media so I'd like to post it...

A little while ago, First4Figures approached me to create the teaser vid for their upcoming Ganondorf statue... Here's the result. Let me know what you think!

The second of my commissioned videos was released today! One more to go!



This is better than the teaser video in my eyes. There's one moment of black I tried to cover up but nothing fit... Still, enjoy!

And finally, the last video I undertook for the Ganondorf project. The informative video.



In my opinion... this is my least favourite video from the 3 I made namely due to footage limitations. All the same the whole project looks to have been a great success with several thousand views i the few days the videos have been live. Look forward to more from me in the near future!

More of a test video this time around, Those who ran into me at Summer of Sonic may recall that I was mourning the loss of my camera...

Since then, I've picked up a new one and put this together in the last hour or so.



I'm looking forward to getting Knuckles Exclusive...
