I wouldn't base my opinion entirely on Balt's review. He tends to focus on the negatives of a figure.
I see it like this:
Baltmatrix - wines about everything wrong.
Emgo - fangirls about everything right.
Peaugh - unbiased, but mumbles and runs off topic. (Best if you are just watching one)
Thew - fun entertainment, three waves late (personal favorite)
Optibotimus - in love with his own voice, will do a sixteen minute review on a repainted legion figure and then mistransform it.
Vangelus - probably the best one, but will be at least 6 months later unless it's Top Spin.
I stopped watching Baltmatrix once he just started to not give a crap, and gets many many things wrong about figures and generally has no idea about a figure he's reviewing.
Peaugh is okay, he's neutral but will miss some key points about some figures, and will just ham fist many of them and yes will do things out of the view of the camera.
I really do like Emgo even if he does fangirl about the positives. He'll still point out the issues he has with the figures, he just won't rant or get all bent out of shape about them. And generally is pretty timely with the reviews. He also has a sense of humor I can relate to.
Vange1us is indeed the best, but he takes ages to get to any figures. Though his reviews are really good, and in-depth.
Optibotimus, can get on my nerves real easily. I try to avoid him, unless I have no other choice. But many times he just won't care about the figure he's reviewing and that can get annoying.
I guess I'll have to give Thew a shot
I generally go for a combination of Peaugh, Emgo and Vangelus when possible.
