Overall, MOTUC had a solid showing as Vault got us caught up on MOTUC reviews of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23565\">Karatti<\/a> &#038; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23386\">Snake Face<\/a>. Also filed under not a surprise, the Top 5 reviews rounded out with our two DCUC offerings for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23428\">Larfleeze<\/a> &#038; the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23414\">Mallah &#038; the Brain 2pk<\/a>. Those reviews are always the bread &#038; butter of the site and we can rely on them to always be the top read reviews. I think Transformers could get in there if we&#8217;d just review them more consistently though&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Transformers, two third party reviews snuck into the Top Ten: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23465\">iGear&#8217;s Chrome Spray<\/a> &#038; the massive <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23565\">FansProject Colossus<\/a>.I am completely hooked on the third party combiners, so I&#8217;d imagine we&#8217;ll be seeing more of those reviews here at IAT in the near future. I&#8217;ve got random arms and legs all over this place&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Vault did most of the heavy lifting this month as I&#8217;ve been traveling <em>(I&#8217;m out of town again this week &#8211; I think I&#8217;m up to six weeks in a row of having to be on the road &#8211; did I mention my job isn&#8217;t travel-based??)<\/em>, but I did manage one more review in addition to those listed above, this one for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23501\">Joe Club&#8217;s Iceberg<\/a>. Man, I still wish that were a better figure. <\/p>\n<p>Vault meanwhile got in plenty of his imports to round out the Top Ten. That included both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23435\">Revoltech Naked Snake<\/a> &#038; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23535\">Figma Pit<\/a>, but the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23514\">Charizard<\/a> review should also get an honorable mention for coming in 11th. <\/p>\n<p>That was the month that was May. We&#8217;re already on fire for June with the Recollect! blog. That article has gotten a tremendous response, if it were on this Top Ten it would rank 2nd and it&#8217;s only been available for two days. I always forget that you guys love to read non toy reviews too.
