They take more preorders than four horsemen and have less releases. Hopefully that changes soon.

Thank you so much! Silent hill is one of those games that’s near and dear to my heart and mezco nailed this guy. Lmk when your video is up! It sounds great can’t wait to see it!

@@shadowtoysphotography I've always been more of a resident evil man myself but I have Alot of love for silent Hill as well. I'll definitely give you a shout when I upload that video, I'm at 7:45 so far and I'm trying to get it up to at least 15:00. I'm using Mezco Atticus Doom (both versions), Theodore Sodcutter, Neca Sam (Trick r Treat) and a custom zombie King Kong. I have a few shorts up on my channel if you wanna see what I'm talking about. Thanks my dude

I feel you on resident evil. Something about those games, nothing beats them. Parasite eve and Dino crisis as well. Not to mention I was able to go a LOT farther in those games rather than silent hill like the second one basically ran through screaming the whole time. Couldn’t finish the room was just too much. 3 was fantastic tho, probably the best. Will check out your shorts right now! They sound great! And Thank you again!!

Darn. eBay?

@@shadowtoysphotography also out. I found out about this figure too late sadly

Wow that’s insane. Save the search just encase one pops up. Maybe they did a really short run and/or had licensing issues would be my guess.

Hey thank you so much!! Really appreciate it!! Agree with all your points. Do recommend any series 2 valaverse figures and any weapon packs go nicely with classified as well. However the vala heads don’t really fit on classified so they will need some customizing. Hope this helps and thank you again for your support!!

@@shadowtoysphotography thanks for the suggestions. I do think Valaverse has some nice looking figures, so you never know, I might try some at some point.

Lmao J-Staths head is like that! Good eye on the bodies. Forgot to mention how each one is indeed different. Especially the arms they used. It’s impressive that they’re willing to take risks on every single release. You’re also right about their gear and accessories. They’re really good all on their own. Don’t believe I have the Hasuki figure. If it’s the size of a shf he should scale then. Hope that helps! Thank you so much again!!!

Thank you so much! Can’t express how much that means!!! Would love to see your work! If you’re on Instagram send me a DM! Don’t worry about it not being accurate. Good thing about Scarecrow is he really doesn’t have a cookie cutter design so that leaves a lot of room for customization. Thank you so much again!!

😂

@ArkhamKnight-jx5sh Appreciate the passion kiddo, but it’s hypocritical to tell someone to keep their opinions to themselves then write a novel of your own…Never reviewed the tracer so that point is completely irrelevant. Not to mention made of entirely different plastic materials. Bobby absolutely needs to get new military “experts and advisers” immediately. Maybe they use those colors in other countries, but in US military, according to active service members, they don’t use the lime green on their Arctic gear. Also, just because someone serves, it does NOT make them a military expert in ALL things military. Even they need to train and earn knowledge and experience. It doesn’t just come to you once you sign the paperwork. Heating up figures are a sign of shitily designed figure. Some parts in other lines can get stuck here and there, but having to heat up an entire figure and it still doesn’t move well afterwards is a BIG problem. Noticed the crap boot was starting to crack even before heating it up. Only demonstrated that fact. Unfortunately these videos are not opinions but facts. There are no biases, and absolutely no reasons or needs for fabrication. The point of these videos are to share experiences and warn other people and collectors of possible problems or issues with these products. If you want to take the risk that is totally understandable, but don’t say I didn’t warn you…

Absolutely!

Great choices! “The One” must be his fave.

@@shadowtoysphotography actually my husband’s favorite Jet Li films are fly swords of Dragon gate and Fist of Legend. My husband grew up with Jet Li,Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan films during his teen years in the 1990s.

Very cool! He’s a man of great tastes it seems.

@@shadowtoysphotography My husband is an ex-soldier so he kitbashes many of Valaverse and GI Joe classified figures to look like real current equiped soldiers

Nice, that’s the way to do it. Plenty of options out there plus customizers and 3rd party can’t go wrong.

Damn, sorry that happened! Guess all those “drop tests” of theirs are bs.

Garbage diaper and no thigh cut isn’t QC, it’s bad design.

They’re not that cheap but cheaply made. Low cost and high quality exists. Especially when it comes to collectibles.

Who’s comparing him to hasbro? Try actually watching the video before commenting.

Ass cods

Great idea! May have to try that.

Lol!!

Thank you!! 🙏🏼

I usually get buzzmods from either hobby genki or bbts.

@@shadowtoysphotography ohh Okayy Thank You So Much

Anytime!

@@shadowtoysphotographythank You I Just Got Him

Awesome!! From where?

Hobby genki preorder over a year ago

@@shadowtoysphotography oh ok

You’re absolutely correct. One figure direct from valaverse website is almost 40 shipped. They are definitely not worth that much. Pricing will be addressed more thoroughly in the next video.

I don't think that's a fair criticism. These aren't from a multibillion dollar corporation, they're from an independent creator with a small team. Those licensed figure can keep prices down to due the large amount of stuff they can sell to make up some of that lost cost. A smaller manufacturer can't do that. If they were heaper, they'd literally be burning money and go out of business...

To be fair the only multibillion dollar toy corporation out there is hasbro. Everyone else is in the multimillions. Even smaller ones like 4horse, vala, and mezco ,for example, all managed to stay in business 10 plus years (minus Vala) without only relying on licensed IPs and without raising their prices as much. 3rd party companies don’t pay any fees, have tiny runs, their figures have clothed goods, and still grow and make money so your logic doesn’t really apply.

@@shadowtoysphotography kinda does apply when all of the companies you listed product's that are way more expensive lol

@@shadowtoysphotography I'm not a vala fan by any means, but wanting his stuff to be more priced like hasbro shows a bit of ignorance in my opinion.

That’s great that the box is nice but how well are the actual products made? How are the materials that they used? Cheap, strong, flimsy, or feel like 3d printed resin? Need more details.

Didn’t misspeak but it’s a fair argument to say they took away both in certain places. Sorry that these facts bother you.

@@shadowtoysphotography Your opinions don't bother me. I posted just to let others know. (Those who know units of distance.)

You didn’t get the initial point that was made and yet you’re going to correct people for it? Ok…

Show us on your action figure where the opinion hurt you

Yeah, how dare someone voice an opinion that isn't yours...

Comes with the figure.

Have met many humble people with a vision. You having met him is meaningless. There’s an obligation to the viewers, those who have subscribed, and the toy community to share with them any hesitations, reservations, warnings or doubts about where they and myself decide to invest our money in and/or whoever with. Maybe after they deliver on the rest of the racers, lone star, Mask, the A-team van, the cobra tank, the joe tank, the bridge layer, and anything else they took preorders for, it will be hard to naysay them after that. IF it ever happens…Hope it does!

@@shadowtoysphotography Oh, my opinion is meaningless then? Your claim of them having only delivered 2 Ramen Racer is FALSE and that's a fact. Multiple persons have received there's last week, the latest I saw was this very morning, with questions about the hood, which were promptly answered. And on what they announced AND delivered: - 80's Commanders (diff. decos) - 3 versions of He-Man heads - Silverhawks' Quicksilver - Silverhawks' Monstarr - Red Gullwing - The Gullwing ...and I held Great White in hand. Coming in 2 months. Apparently you're all over social media, since you know the of the other products, which means you slander their name and you're nothing but a troll. So YOU don't talk to me about obligation.

Again, your opinion of him is meaningless. Your opinion of the products you have are valid. That’s great that people are getting it, but they’ve been silent about it. Heads, stands and accessories don’t count as anyone with a 3d printer can make those. The point of the video was about the big ticket items. You speak of slander then name call. Someone usually starts doing that when they’re losing the argument…

@@shadowtoysphotography @shadowtoysphotography First: I don't loose. Period. Name calling is word for word insulting you, which I didn't do anywhere. Show me where I called you anything. A 'troll' is a definition, not an insult. You take the term 'obligation' and put it in front of you, like you're doing a service. You're not servicing anyone. You're spreading misinformation. I don't know where you "see" that people are silent about it!? In their group people show EVERYTHING they get and the love for the product, in my group they do that, pages of my friends got pictures of the product. People are NOT silent. And what you do NOT is obliging to anything. If you would, THEN you would follow an obligation. Obligation to respect your viewer and the opinion and not calling it meaningless. And before I give you TROLL (now I called you something) any more attention, cause that is what YT/G wants, I'm gonna block you and report you for slander and defamation. Have a great day.

It’s lose not loose. Here’s an example: “The angry commenter was losing their mind over their loose sphincter.” Sorry an opinion broke you so hard. Good luck with that report! CZcams doesn’t like false claims against their partners fyi…

Thank you but unfortunately not at this time. Hopefully in the future.

Just because you had a good experience doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem. Not to mention you said you just got them. These are first releases so maybe they course corrected for the other batches made afterwards.

Thank you! Mezco vest from eBay.

Ugly as they are they do allow them to properly hold a weapon and have them look through the sight, which you can’t do with a GI Joe.

It should scale. Whether or not it will fit I do not know.

Thank you!!! Yeah mcfarlane makes great pieces for customizing into better figs.

Sure! Hmu on ig.

Same and agreed on the shouting faces point. They’re missing a furrowed brow. Otherwise they look like they’re just at the dentist like that new 100th figure unmasked portrait from them.

Thank you!!! Yes all weapons should fit with mezco. They’re a little smaller than actual mezco weapons but they do fit in mezco hands.

Agreed but it’s more of a sci-fi military line so there’s room for more new stuff.

@@shadowtoysphotography Ummm Legend Of The White Dragon?

What about it?

@@shadowtoysphotographyit’s a brand new line from them.

@@shadowtoysphotography and it’s not military themed
