& Updated Review Indexes!"},"content":{"rendered":"

<\/a> After a rocky start to April with the site outage, we got things back on track here at IAT and had one of the better months this year. I\u2019ve gone through and updated the Review Index for IAT and for Battlegrip.com<\/a>, but let\u2019s also take a quick look at the Top Ten Reviews for April. <\/p>\n

First up, here are links to the updated Review Indexes for IAT & for Battlegrip!<\/p>\n\n\n

Normally, you don’t see reviews from the end of the month shoot up quiet as quickly on the list, but MOTUC He-Man<\/a> himself finally getting an IAT review packed the house, garnering nearly double the traffic of any other review. If you ask me, it was all the great content from MOTU Day. We had a great ring of sites going and it shows in the statistics for this month. Coming in a strong second with a more usual amount of pageviews was the Watchmen’s Doctor Manhattan<\/a>, or as I call him Dr. Oblong-Head.<\/p>\n

After the top two, we’ve got a cause of the Usual suspects with MOTU & DC reviews annihilating the competition. Vault & I really tried to tackle the backlog on the those two properties with six reviews from the two properties – and I think we crossed a good chunk off the list, but I know you guys can swoop in and tell me exactly which MOTU & DC figures we still need to get to. I can name… five, not counting the April offerings. <\/p>\n

After that batch, we got a nice bump from D-Arts Mewtwo<\/a> and TMNT Leatherhead<\/a> made a strong showing despite being posted on the last day of the month. The Masterpiece Transformers reviews continue to do well for IAT with Masterpiece Rumble & Ravage<\/a> charting, but it was a third party item, the TFSource exclusive DX Armored Batallion<\/a> from Fansproject, that beat out Masterpiece Frenzy & Buzzsaw<\/a> to close out the Top Ten. <\/p>\n

Finally, we’re still wallowing in our backlog. The G.I. Joe FSS is almost and I’ve only reviewed the first shipment, we’ve got April’s MOTU & DC offereings to post, and I have a ton of Third Party & Masterpiece Transformers reviews. I’d like to get up on the site. My question is, which ones do you want to see first?<\/strong><\/p>\n
