Is there any interest to post pics of new toys in here when there are other pics available on the web?
IE: New Star Wars figures, would you be interested in seeing the new A-Wing pilot here when you can see him on Rebelscum?

only if whoever's posting the pictures is doing something really cool or different.
a lot of the dio shots I do include figures in "play" settings as much as sometimes the figures around the custom are random but in-theme with my work. I have trouble getting the new figures but I try to mix up the figures who appear in my dios whenever I can, that includes new stuff.
that's different enough, because when I take those shots with the custom in "action" and a new Hasbro release is present, I can snap additional pictures centering on the new figure. then I can post them here just to get the attention of people who may not have gotten a figure yet for themselves. see what I mean? that's different enough IMO from the blue background pics Rebelscum and Galactic Hunter to justify pictures here.
not writing up "reviews" though... I can see myself doing the reviews via pics.
jesus, does that make any sense?

Yeah, that's what I wanted to know. I was gonna post pics of the Awing dude, but thought, why when you can see pics on RS.
However, I figger when I get my next mech, I'll take a ton of pics of that, cause you just cant find those anywhere out there.
As for a written review, those can be soooo subjective. I figgered it would be more of a pictoral one rather than written.
I dont care if someone thinks it's a cool toy or not, I wanna see if I think its worth picking up

I have a Llats Ward figure on the way to me right now, I'll take some dio pics featuring him when I get him. Lots of sites take pictures of the toys, but I'm on the same page as you about "reviews" of them: SHOW ME why the figure is cool or why it sucks. I'll try to show Ward the Mando'a being a bounty hunter and hope its effective.
A review that's a couple paragraphs long, okay, I'll read the whole bit in hopes there's some good photos in with... a long review? No way, I either start to skim it or stop reading and just look at the pictures. And if the "pictures" end up just being static pictures of the figure doing nothing but standing, why bother even getting visual aids for the review? Rebelscum doesn't do their own reviews, they're there for REFERENCE and keep to their objectivity. Galactic Hunter does reviews but they consider them to be, appropriately, editorials. General Hawk takes amazing pictures of the toys, I haven't read a line he's written in a review in a loooong time. (The 'partners in crime' style reviews GH and LTD do are exceptions, sometimes the write-ups are funny or interesting, and then the photos are great to boot!)
hey, ya know...
I should re-post my reflection on the McQuarrie Vader on here, shouldn't I? I tried NOT to review the figure when I wrote that, it fits what I just explained, right?

I'd be happy to put some stuff up. I have the full set of McQuarrie loose, minus the Rebel and I have opened my EE Mando packs.

I would like to see the EE figures, especially if you cut them up. I'm trying to take off padme's arms right now(why do women have arms anyway?).
I agree, I want to see stuff other than just blue wall figures, if the guy is put next to a custom to show interplay, awesome, if the figure is shown in action or dio style, even better.

Seeing as I don't bother with sites like RebelScum & that typically, if something showed up here, I'd be apt to look at it.
