Preview fatigue?

I’ve got a question for you, Poesters. I’ve been reviewing a lot of Masters of the Universe Classics lately, and of course you get to see MOTUC weeks before my own review thanks to the samples sent out to Fwoosh, AFI, Pixel Dan etc.

Do you find that these previews dampen your interest or enthusiasm in my own reviews? I’ve noticed the number of comments in those reviews has been going down, and I’m trying whether that’s due to lack of interest in the figures, this preview sample issue, or a general waning of PGPoA’s popularity itself in my post-DCUC-collecting era.

    Just for the record: I never saw ( If memory serves me well ) a preview review talking negative things about the toys reviewed…

    The guys who get preview figures aren’t cool man.Real men buy their own toys.

    Hello Poe!

    Well, I visit this site everyday looking for news and I really like your reviews ( All of them, even the ones written about lines that I don't care at all, like Ghostbusters for example ).

    I read other reviews as well, but this site is way better ( and more honest ) than the preview ones in my book.

    Keep up the great work!

    Cheers,

    D.

    Poe, your work is so vastly better written and presented than that of most websites, I would prefer to read your review of a ten year old figure than theirs of something that is not even available to buy yet. There is no need for you to change anything.

    Poe, I love your site and always appreciate your reviews and opinions. It's my favorite action figure site for the type of commentary.

    Late again:

    Well I spend a lot less time here (sorry Poe) but that's much more a consequence of a busier life than it is a lack of interest or a comment on this site.

    I have those sites that I check in with whenever I get some "me" time mainly to follow-up actual news – Rebelscum and JediNews for my Swars fix and the Org for He-news – but other than that I'll dip into other sites that have a degree of quality to them – like this one just to see what's occuring. But with the way normal/abnormal real-life is working out at present I get a lot less "me" time than I'd like.

    I can't say I'm too fussed about whether you carry a heavy DCUC content or not – my interest in that Line has well and truly peaked as I pretty much have everything I want from it bar a Martian that Manhunts and a decently sized Doomsday – when they get to those I'll get excited again. I'm ok with your He-focus too, but as a fellow subscriber I'm in for another year's worth of figures anyway so even reviews by you are going to make no difference to whether I pick them up or not – hence their really isn't any "urgency" about rushing over here to find out anything critical.

    I do think your reducing role here may (that's may) be a factor in less traffic – if that's what prompted this – passing this way. But you've explained the reasons for that so really that part of things is up to you – you have to balance this and your life so that you are happy with it.

    Just what I think.

    I don't post much here because I don't post much anywhere these days, but I do always enjoy your MOTUC reviews, even for figures I don't plan to get. I like that you give a little history on the character and I enjoy your writing style generally.

    I propose that from now on if one of us reads something here that has no posts, we should post "FIRST!" like all those really classy interweb sites. 🙂
