Pretty awesome set. Still looking for that Thrawn, definitely a grail of mine, but was able to snag Karrde loose for like 5 bucks a few years ago. Kinda wish the Thrawn figure had the gold epaulets on his shoulders, personally I like it when the Grand Admiral uniform has a bit more regalia to it.
I agree. The custom Pellaeon I have uses the Thrawn body and I had the epaulets sculpted on. If anything, they probably neglected that so the ysalamiri would fit.
That ysalamir alone makes this figure worth getting. I wish they sold those in packs so that I can have ysalamiri resting on all my figures' shoulders. As for feedback, I think if your goal is to achieve more viewers and retain their attention, the video's length can be trimmed. I think most viewers have a short attention span so you'll probably need to find a balance between quantity/quality of information and the cadence of your delivery. If your camera can zoom in very, very closely to admire the fine details of each figure, it could also capture their attention (some viewers love it when the camerawork is a little more animated/dynamic, instead of fixed). A catchy thumbnail and concise title could help (though I'm not sure if smaller channels are allowed to add their own). Depending on the type of audience you're trying to garner you may want to have a ruler or tape to show how tall the figures are; I think only enthusiasts are going to figure out that some of these figs are ~3.75 in. You're doing a good job of pointing out their articulation and poseability. I think showing off the figures in different lightings and backdrops could also give the videos more clarity and/or variety (a white backdrop helps to focus on the figures but a thematic background can help set a scene when paired with sound effects and voiceovers from movies/games). I don't have much experience making videos or watching reviews so I probably should've mentioned this first! Hopefully this message doesn't turn out too wordy. I wish you the best of luck in growing your channel.
Hey, appreciate the feedback. Yeah, I know what you mean about the ysalamiri, I just ordered the Black Series Luke recently for $13 just for that accessory for Thrawn. Yeah, I'm always thinking of new ideas for videos. I have considered scripting these videos, but at the same time I like to keep them authentic. On the flipside though, when I just record as is with no scripting, I lose track of time and sometimes 20 minutes goes by and have no idea where the time went. As far as new camera angles and different scenery, that will come in time. Eventually I hope to review the Hot Toys figures and 3 3/4" vehicles so I'll probably experiment with that for those. I am also looking to getting a new microphone. It doesn't sound like it, but I actually am somewhat shouting into the camera and it still comes out fainter. Overall though, I look at this as when years go by, I can look back at the evolution of how the recording style has changed and improved over time. Thanks again for the feedback.

Glad I bought this over 10 yrs ago for retail. But I'm sure we'll be getting a more improved Thrawn soon in the tvc.
I think there is a high chance of that, especially if the rumors turn out to be true about Thrawn appearing in the Ahsoka show. Thanks for watching.
