We reached out to Sean Long to recognize his contribution to sixth-scale collecting. His figure reviews give collectors a close look at the sculpt, articulation and accessories before they commit to a purchase, and his enthusiasm makes them fun to watch.
Sean Long – A Reviewer, an Icon
Sean Long has been a name in the toy-reviewing scene for over 7 years at the time of writing, with his first video going up in 2009! Since then, Sean’s YouTube channel has garnered over 271 million views with over 225 thousand subscribers to his channel! He is also a partner of the Machinima website and YouTube channel.
Sean Long is notable for his video reviews of many different types of figures, including but not limited to one sixth scale figurines. His videos examine each figure’s details, articulation and accessories. That being said, the reviews are not only informative but also entertaining! Sean’s deep knowledge about the media each collectible is based on adds another level of enjoyment to the reviews.
Sean Long’s Hot Toys Reviews
Sean’s Batman v Superman Armored Batman review is a good example of what his videos offer a prospective buyer: a chance to see the figure up close when visiting a shop is not an option.
In a Sean Long review video you will find information like posability of the figure and the quality of the parts. You will also get the details like accessories and scale comparison. Sean includes places that the figure can be purchased. High-definition video is also present, a necessity when a potential buyer wants to see just what they are getting. Quite often seeing the product in person for themselves is not possible for collectors.
All of this necessary information is relayed to the viewer through Sean’s iconic entertaining and lighthearted tone. It is for this reason that One Sixth Society chose Sean Long as our Icon to pay tribute to. We highly recommend that any serious one sixth scale collector, or even anyone generally interested in entertainment and media, head on over to his YouTube Channel, and hit subscribe!
