    That's quite good for a first effort.

    As liegeprime said, it needs more lighting. That looks like it was shot in the day time but the blinds/curtain was drawn - open them. Switch on any indoor lights in that room and if it's still too dark, use something like a desklamp. Trust me, you can never have enough light. And as Soundwarp said, the camera angle needs to be adjusted to see the entire toy. dirge already pointed out that it's not an actual direct repaint and that there is a mould variation.

    Also FYI G1 Swindle is a 1986 figure, not 1985. The "funky languages" in the instructions are English, Spanish and French.

    You said, "The head can actually rotate down to the chest which is quite weird." - firstly, the head swings down, it doesn't rotate ('rotate' means to spin/turn), secondly you later go on to explain the reason for it in the arm mode... so how is it weird?

    even though 3/5 of what I just said was merely reiterating comments from liegeprime, Soundwarp and dirge... (-_-)

    ...and there's a difference between constructive criticism and being actually mean or unkind. If I really wanted to be mean I would just comment on how ugly benben2142 is*

    MV75 - the two guns have always been able to combine. There is an extra post on the side of the larger gun - which your G2 Swindle lacks - that is present on Greyjeeper & Rollbar. This post allows Hepter's gun (think Vortex) to attach to the outside of the larger gun.

    Good effort for your first video. It's not going to be perfect, so don't be too concerned about (constructive) criticism.
    What made you choose Rollbar as your first video review? Just a random selection from your collection, or is it a favourite toy of yours?

    For a first off review, you did a pretty good job, benben.

    I would recommend taking into account the comments people have made here regarding improvements, for future reviews (especially lighting!).

    One more thing I noticed, you need to keep the toy in frame at all times. There were a couple of occasions where you dragged Rollbar off camera, leaving an empty desk!

    Before you undertake your next review, have a read of this thread then watch your Rollbar review. Try to be critical of your own work. That way, you're far less likely to make the same mistakes again (:

    nicely done...though camera can be tilted downwards a little from the start as when you placed Rollbar on your table, the figure is totally hidden. keep it up...

    a good little review... as mentioned before (lighting and camera angle), take on those constructive criticism, it will make your next review better!

    Was disappointed that you didn't slot the fist or foot in, when you show the combiner mode.
