ATB Review Schedule

I am going to reserve the Bullyland European Wildcat and the 2024 Schleich British Shorthair cat for a 1-2 punch of wild and domestic kitties!

Please put me down for the Safari rockhopper penguin as well.

Done. BTW my Blog access will be limited this Thurs-Sat (11/7-11/9) and Guest Reviews submitted in that time will be delayed.

I have several reviews nearly ready for posting (just need to add photos and do one last edit) for the other half of the Toymany baby set Blaine worked on. I wanted to wait until Halloween was over- so I should be able to post em periodically between now and Thanksgiving. Just a heads up to other reviewers here.

I have been thinking about this. I also have several review sample reviews to post (by both Toymany and HHT) and I know Gwangi has both, too. And sbell will start adding RTF figures soon. Fembrogon and Suspsy might also have some HHT review samples, too, not sure.

It could start to get busy in the next month or two. If it gets to a point where Blog activity gets heavy, I might suggest that each reviewer only do one post a week, just to make sure everyone has a chance to post.

We could just continue to do a first-come-first-serve method too, like we have been, but if someone feels like they keep missing a chance to post, we might want to consider limiting the number of posts allowed per any one person in a single week.

It probably won't come to that, but just thinking ahead just in case. I know I won't have more than one per week, and I doubt I'll have one at all this week (minus the one I have reserved for 11/8 that I may not even receive in time).

That's good to know. I usually get a bit anxious when I get sample figures to review (got the email to confirm my "order" today)- I can still get them written but am happy to wait until the holiday season/busy time is over. My only anxiety is for the baby figures so the complete set is on the blog- but they don't apply to any holiday theme so they surely aren't priority in that regard.

Don't let potential business hold you back; if you are ready to post something, go for it . To my knowledge no dates in the near future are reserved (I have 11/8 reserved but at this time I don't know if I'll be able to make that)

[bmathison1972]

I'm sure you've all seen the new Frogs set by Toymany. A review sample of the entire set is en route to me.
The plan was I'd do a brief overview of the set today but it hasn't arrived yet.

I'm not sure if that will be the same plan for now.

Another option is I split the set with another reviewer and we each do full reviews of each figure individually. I need to talk with Toymany and see what they prefer.

If I still end up doing a general overview of the set, it won't preclude others from doing in-depth reviews of individual figures.

Stay tuned...

One more I think I'll tackle: the Safari Type D killer whale.

Done. I'm looking forward to seeing that one, even though I have no interest in buying it

[Gwangi]

Put me down for the Safari pilot whale, wallaby, howler monkey, and clouded leopard please. Thanks!

Hey @Gwangi I will put you down for all of those except the clouded leopard, which was reserved by @radrob2 (and frankly, quite some time ago). This individual has not been active on the forum for quite some time, or at least hasn't posted in quite some time. I am flagging him here. If he doesn't respond within 48 hours, I'll remove the reservation from him and give it to you.

@radrob2 - please confirm, within 48 hours if possible, if you  still intend on reviewing the Safari clouded leopard.

[bmathison1972]

My next review is posted in draft and scheduled to go LIVE on Monday, November 18. I am putting it on the forum calendar, too!

Ok, it has been 48 hours, we good to go then?

Also, put me down for the Schleich 2017 killer whale, please and thanks.

Yup, on both accounts!
