I still to this day hate the term "influencer", it sounds super tacky and somewhat entitled. I prefer to call these "influencers" persuaders when the majority of the time they sugarcoat their opinions and speak with such unrealistic enthusiasm. On the subject of the stage, I didn't think much in terms of electronics until I saw it in action. I feel like it completes the set and like others thought about it's lifespan. It looks beautiful as a whole and I wouldn't want a cheaped out version. These toys aren't built to last forever and I've come to terms with that. I'd love to see the stage released someday as it completes some of our collections. If it does come to fruition someday and doesn't have electronics, it'd be nice to get more accurate lights and speakers.

Mattel/Shop.App still haven't refunded my money even after opening cases with them, just doing a charge back with the bank at this point. They were more than happy to take the money though. Unprofessional behavior, I don't think I'll bother with any future Mattel crowdfunding. I received this today.  |

The biggest problem with influencers in the wrestling figure community is are you really an influencer if you buy everything? That’s why it had no influence. The influencers used to push this by going to the Mattel warehouse buy everything so there is no standard there. Many of them have even admitted they will buy anything Mattel produces. That’s why their opinion doesn’t matter or influencer others to purchase the products they are pushing. Also everyone knows many don’t say anything negative about the product because they want future products & invites. |

I noticed that once someone becomes an "influencer" and gets cozy with those responsible for the products they're reviewing, they start to excuse and sugarcoat all their criticisms. It has been especially obvious with one of my go to reviewers, so much so I just don't bother watching their stuff anymore. They'd rather feel important, credibility be damned. |

Might this reviewer bear a resemblance to AJ Styles? |

...can't we say who we're talking about here? 🤷♂️
The only YouTube reviews I watch are My Damn Toys and Alex West Collects... I think they're both great.

I too watch them both and I believe they are both fair/ honest in their reviews. I tried watching others, but sometimes I feel like they aren't either very honest or just plain annoying. |

I just hate the "HEY GUYS, WELCOME TO MY YOUTUBE VIDEO" opening type of people. Like come on  You can't be that damn excited every damn video. I'd do reviews, only issue is I wouldn't sugarcoat things and I'm buying like two figures a year. |

I like him. I don't think his goal is to be a super critic. He's just really excited about toys and can overlook small stuff that a lot of people here will throw fits of anger over.
One reason I stick with him is because he covers most of the lines I collect, not just Mattel WWE.

Most of the things I see people get so upset about,means almost nothing to me so I think his reviews are fine for what I'm wanting. |

I will watch reviews from anyone, but the only one I don’t mute is AlexWestCollects. But any other reviewer is muted, because I have eyes and can see for myself if I like something or not don’t need to hear anyone else’s opinions. |
