How can I becime a reviewer because I've built a Dragon figure kit recently and I thenk it is a great kit for (maybe) beginners

Thats quit simple, you write the review - use other figurereviews as inspiration to form, size, breakdown etc., take some nice photos of the kit/figure and submit it to the site.

Luke,

Jan is correct in what he says...

When your review is written, submit it HERE

An editor will then follow up with you about your review.

Rudi

You just do it....
Everyone is welcome to submit reviews features images (for ODs) news....

I know that 90 - 100% of the submitted content is published.
Reviews are especially nice to see, the more differing viewpoints the better.

Yep, you just submit it.
Follow Rudi's link, and follow the instructions.
If an old gezzer like me can do it, a young whipper snapper like you can....
I'd like to encourage all members to submit articles, reviews, and photos for On Display.

thanks but what would the price be if I bought it on sale at the HS? no I didn't buy it at hobby lobbby

Best bet is to list the full price. If you don't know it, go to an on-line store and look up the set for the price.

thanks

Why the heck do you have become a member on the freakin support center thing to post three pictures? Or is it possible for me to E-Mail the pictures to someone (ie StaffJim and/or Eagle)
so they can post them?

Luke, Thanks.
It is possible to e-mail the pics yes, but it's really worth signing up to the support centre so you can use it in future, since that's the easiest way to make sure the correct people get what you are submitting. It's no use e-mailing the pics To Staff_Jim, although you can ask the correct Managing Editor of the area you want if they will accept pictures by email.

Vinnie

thanks

I actually found it easier to use the support site as that way you dont have to keep emailing it to different people in order to get it published on the site. Just hang onto that reference number.

Luke:

As the managing editor for the figures section, I can say I'd be happy to have you submit a review.

As Vinnie said, signing up for the support center really is the best way to get your materials to the proper location. In a pinch, I do take some images from people via email.

I'd like to point out a couple personal guidelines for the way you write your review. This actually applies to anyone doing the same thing.

Have a set outline/plan
Many people just write whatever comes to mind, as it comes to mind. This can cause your review to wander around and not progress in a clean and logical way. It also may mean that you miss some important information.

Look at some of the other figure reviews to see how others arrange the topics they cover.

A basic one would be:
Summary/Introduction
Contents of the box
Quality of the sculpting
Quality of the mold
Description of the uniform & Accessories
Assembly/Fit
Conclusion

Less is more
Some people look at others reviews and feel that they have to write theirs in as many lines as the other guy. Not true. As long as you cover all the important areas and are clear and concise, you're fine. There's no need to "fluff" up a review just to make it longer.

Proofread your own work
It's a good idea to read over your entire review after you've written it. Once for spelling and grammar, and another for flow. All work is looked at by the editor, but the less we have to fix the better.

Pictures are worth 1000 words
People like to see clear, focused, well lit pictures of the subject you are reviewing. Make sure to take plenty of pictures of both the parts and the assembled piece. Make sure you have ample lighting and that your pictures are in focus. There is no point in taking a close-up of your figure if it is going to be blurry.

If you follow those few simple guidelines, you'll be turning out professional reviews in no time.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out with your first review. I look forward to seeing it.

Cheers,

John
