I find most reviews/reviewers to be fairly intolerable to listen to. One, subject matter just isn't that interesting. With most toy lines using the buck system once you understand the limitations of each buck you understand the whole line. Two, I hate the unboxing/review combo. It's not a review if you're not intimately knowledgeable of the subject matter, it's just a first impression. This where Transformer and model kit reviewers do a much better job.
Personally, I find the toys the least interesting aspect of the collecting hobby. I much prefer things likeToy Galaxy's historicals on various IPs, Spector Creative's business discussions, ans Bobby Skullface's "Sit Down Saturday", "4 Dummies", and Collector Spotlights. The meaning and implications of the hobby are vastly more interesting.
When I do need a review then my go to's are:
Sun of the Empire
Mangmotion
Lazy Eyebrow
Gunpla Meli
Umi Shinonome
Mecha Gokaitsu
ZakuAurelius
AC Studio
