Let's Tone it Down a Bit.
I had the pleasure of meeting Rudy on a livestream recently. We hit it off right out of the gate. His is a mellow energy, but flexes quite a lot of experience and knowledge of the hobby. One of the things that I really love about his videos is that they're very structured, and that I can have them running in the background without there being a lot of chaotic energy.

Here's a bit about him, in his own words:
I'm Rudy, and I've been collecting for more than twenty years. I got my start with McFarlane's Movie Maniacs in 1/12th scale. As a movie buff, I've always been drawn to collectibles. I love being able to capture a bit of that movie magic and bringing it from the theater and into my own space. My collection focuses heavily on Marvel, and classic 80's and 90's action movie IPs. I do dabble in some Star Wars and DC.
I started my YouTube channel two years ago. I found that the bigger and more popular channels focused on mainstream releases and ignored some of the great third-party figures or releases that weren't part of a big license. I started doing my own reviews, championing sixth-scale figures that didn't garner the attention I felt they deserved. More than anything though, my channel is a way to participate in this wonderful sixth-scale community and share the passion I have with others.
