Hello there, this is my first post here...
anyway, just received two figures made by Yutaka today and was hoping to share some thoughts with everyone. what is the general format for reviewing toys?

Yutaka's webpage. The figures I got were the Kevin Mask and Mantaro figure

Thanks.

Well, just describe the toy (In the toy reviews forum). Most people point out specific details, such as articulation and sculpting, and give it a numericla rating. Also, post pictures if at all possible!

as promised, here's the review:

each figures has 13 points of articulation (15 if you count the elbow and arm as 2 seperate):
-head (1)
- shoulders (2)
- elbow/arms (2-4)
- fingers (2)
- groin (2)
- knees (2)
- feet (2)

The sculpting is makes each super wrestler a bit bulky. The joints come quite stiff. There are parts where the parting lines are very visible since they didn't seem to seal properly, so you might want to screw the parts back together a bit better. Personally, I would've liked some hip movement but the cost of these probably will not allow (see above website). Yutaka generally makes toys for younger children, and these figures show that. They do have magnets under their feet which provide a good option for posing (see pics below). Anyway, here are the pics:
