Are reviews becoming too short?

So, I know a few months ago I began the S.A.S (Short attention span) reviews - which took off very well.
It allowed the viewers to have a quick breakdown of a figure and enjoy just looking at it (Normally viewers are treat to a 20 second snippet of just looking)...as well as a little comedy in the middle.

Viewers want everything in very little time, and so I felt this was the right way to go...

However, recently I have been watching videos 1-3 minutes long and getting a sense of....well lack of appreciation for the figure. The youtuber points to the figure, explains articulation and accessories and BOOM! Suddenly you've had everything thrust at you and you're looking at suggestions for other videos. You just sit there going..."huh, well...next."
You feel indifferent to the figure and not overly hyped on that video.

As reviews are shrunk, very few people can cram in all they need to say - which essentially chops out what we have come to love on their channel as they bring it right down to basics.
I once heard someone say a comment towards vine and youtube
"On youtube, you can take forever with unlimited time...on Vine, it's more challenging to get your personality and the point across in 6 seconds using only raw footage"

This is something I agreed with. My videos take around 8 minutes to record and take around 30-45 minutes to edit that into something that is....me, TheDarthPrime. I have to make it fun, make it informative and ensure that at the end you are left wanting more. At that same time, I want you to have enjoyed what you saw and can see how great (or crap) the figure is.

So the question I want you guys to talk about - is do you feel the same? Have you seen your favourite youtubers trim down their videos durations, to something they have recorded in 3 minutes and just splashed it onto youtube without any real care or personality to the video?

Let me know your thoughts through facebook.

Douglas The Dewback's Mum is Revealed

Hey Hey guys,

Just to let you all know that Douglas is back, just in time (Due to crappy YouTube issues) for mothers day!!!
Douglas arrives with a gift for his mum, something Dark, Something that fell down a shaft....and something that is guaranteed to be eaten. Don't expect Douglas's mum to be a dewback though (Nor sound like a woman.) As always, TheDarthPrime Channel has placed an odd twist on it.

So come on guys and gals, and take another Journey with Douglas and his very Angry, Australian sounding mother.

Live long and prosper....oh wait that is Star Trek....

Star Wars Sideshow Collections - 17/3/2012

Hey hey guys,

So i have the Sideshow Collectibles - ESB - Jedi Mentor Yoda arriving on Monday, and in preperation the collection has been moved in order to have some space for the little fella and his log!
Whilst during the figures across as always, a few got posed and changed, mostly the clone troopers (Due to the amount of hands and feets you get with these guys, it is impossible to keep them in the same pose for more than five minutes)
So below are some images, that even i look at and wow at. I hope you enjoy looking at these images, i will shut up with the talking now and let you view the pictures
Oh, also the master replica helmets have been incorporated into the collection too, to allow extra sexiness

Be sure to keep an eye on this page for images of Yoda once he has come in to me.

Transformers Prime Figures...

Well guys - i have officially bought my first couple of Transformers: Prime figures...before i have even seen the programme (Go figure)
These are currently retailing from Argos at £12.99 with the voyagers being £22.99 (About the same as the dark of the moon and Revenge of the fallen classes)

I must say- they are a lot better than what i thought they would be - granted a little bit smaller than I expected but none the less pretty much spot on

I went in and picked up CliffJumper and Wheeljack (Wheeljack is my favourite, but don't tell cliff...oh too late, CliffJumper died again)

So enjoy the two snapshots below and keep an eye out for a review of one of these on Sunday 22/02/2012
