The next episode is Bobby toy hunting at the toy show. Who's going to watch?
Definitely I will watch Bobby's toy hunt! I enjoy hearing your take on whats out there in the wild! Great video as always and very informative!
I enjoy these behind the scenes videos every Saturday!
I will!
I’m in for a good toy hunt!
Toy hunting in California kinda sucks. It's not that you can't find anything, it's just that most everyone thinks their stuff is "gold standard". So I love seeing you hunting in other states.
A family man, business man, toy fan. Really impressed watching these videos, you don’t seem stressed or worried. Continued good luck to you. 🤝
Thanks! Will do!
7:27 HE LIED ON ME!
DFW was my first "GI Joe" show and only the 2nd Toy convention I've been to and thought it was a great time. Really nice meeting a bunch of great people.
I'm loving all your figures
Bobby has to be the hardest working toy designer in the world. Toy designing, accounting, sales, marketing, logistics, convention exhibitor etc, etc. Those are a lot of heavy hats for one person. He's the Renaissance man of the action figure world 🫡.
I agree he contributes greatly to push an evolution, I love it!
Another banger episode! Thanks for this
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the best toy related channel. Informative, insightful commentary about the business and a truthful voice for toy makers everywhere. I appreciate the content, I love your action figures and the knowledge and love for toys you possess.
Wow, thanks!
Great Video.Great seeing that you guys have alot of fun while setting up! Wanted to say got my first Artic steel brigade and i love it! I read his file card and it made me feel like a kid again and had to open it up right away and play with it! Thank you for giving us amazing content and action figures❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey Bobby! I would like to see the figure making process
The prototypes, color studies, packaging and so on! ❤ please
Noted!
Great video! As someone that’s had to set for trade shows for (both as a facilities manager and as an vendor) it’s always awesome when the setup is exactly how you want/need it to be.
These are the videos of your I enjoy watching. Seeing the working being done. This is what builds lifelong fans. Seeing you do it from the ground up. These are the type of videos that’ll stick with people years from now when your business has grown exponentially.
Thank you for saying that!
I never knew about Valaverse until I went to Shop the curiosity! So glad I ran into you and the booth. I bought an urban commando and kill switch and few weapons packs. I am a believer now haha! Looking forward to what you bring out in the future! Thanks for coming to that show!
Thank you!
Really cool insight, I used to do shows in the auto industry and it is a lot of work for sure! When you mentioned certain figures sell better at shows because people like the way it looks in person, I absolutely agree, sometimes things really do look better in person.
Cool and interesting behind the scenes video! Keep living the adventure Bobby!
Thanks!
Just made my first Valaverse purchase. Last thing I need is another line to collect, but I'm super excited to see what I've been missing out on.
So sorry to start you on another one but glad you’re here!
@Valaverse I love behind the scenes at Valaverse. From working in retail, and a warehouse in the past I always check out to see what the background looks like. Very well organized Bobby. 15:18 oh I see the bloody Bone Collector, and the Praetorian. 🤩 Looking forward to future conventions. Thank you. 🙂
By the way, thank you for the DFW show.
Car audio is bad
Cars make sounds
Great Video of what it takes for you to do a show for saying your Action Force figures. There alot of work that goes into a show and then you have to take down and put back in your trailer. It's crazy. Thanks Bobby for putting out great Military figures. I can't wait until the Vanguard starts to ship out. I am so excited😁😁😁
Bobby can u do a night landing craft, seals and frogmen? Time for Valaverse and Swarm to tackle the seas!
Thanks for uploading your the only one of the independents that uploads frequently.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Dissapointed you couldnt make that MD show but I had a GREAT TIME AT DFW, and I'm all booked for Terrificon.
Nice Bobby 😀. Shout out to everybody in a rabbit hole😯 . I just fell back into the 118 hole hopefully it won't get that deep😒😁
Fun vid. Love to see the mechanics of a toy dev in action.
Love for you to come to Iowa!!!!!
I'm loving your figures. Will you be re-releasing the Special Ops troopers (male & female) anytime soon? When they first came out I was broke and now I have money to buy them and they're sold out everywhere. 😅
I just started collecting your line. Im glad you're doing reissue figures. Gives me a chance to have a variety. I was looking at Garrison and Kerak before I seen this video. It is cool that you recognize opportunities to add to the line and make things different for the fans. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Great insight into shows Bobby - thanks for the video and good luck.
Thanks for watching!
This has all been very cool to see and listen to. Keep it up. You're killing it on all fronts.
@valaverse love getting to see this video, and looking forward to next weeks toy hunt video from the show. Shop the Curiosity was the first show I ever attended, and I went to it specifically to meet you! So, glad I was able to attend, you were awesome, and I’m glad we were able to work out a deal! Hopefully I’ll be able to attend another show soon, and if you ever want to make a deal again let me know, and also if you ever have open positions let me know (would love to work for/with you)! Action Force is by far my favorite line that I’m collecting!
Trigger is a solid figure. I would just hem his pants. Pant hems that fall below the ankle just get shredded so fast. Classifieds doc has a reasonable hem job.
Night ops trigger would be fun too
Was at the Connecticut show and at DFW, will also be going to RICC. Love all the new projects coming out, great job Bobby and crew❤
I think, some sellers, just want to show off what they have and are not there to get rid of stuff.
Very true
Hey you guys ever go to Tampa or Orlando?
Not yet
@Valaverse fingers crossed, I can get that awesome new Bone Collector tomorrow.
I have never bought a Valaverse figure. They look awesome and I'll probably get around to buying some at some point, but it's just not in the budget at the moment 😢
Hopefully soon!
Highly recommend them, I love these figures
As a toy maker, if I were you. I would have an action figure library/archive of everything you make. Weapons, packs, and accessories. Then, you can have action figure cases with the figs to take to the shows... Great content, sir...
Thanks for watching
Also, wanted to make the DFW show since i live close by but a hefty car repair bill took all my toy cash for the next few months, including my vanguard monies 😢 Hope to order some new plastic soon. Keep up the good work.
Alright! A Mark Weber sighting!
How far out are conventions dates set? Trying to make a visit to you for next summer if maybe in the fall. I live in Indiana but will travel towards Florida next summer
It really depends on
Desert Trigger to get the trio together. Condor and Rat. Then series 6 desert rollout. 🙏
Been a fan of action force since series 1! Any chance of more civilian figures down the line like the covert ops condor? I’d like to see a night senshi in a black desert condor tee! Congrats on the success and I can’t wait for more products
More desert variants please, like Rollout, Eclipse, or even female Steel Brigade

Trigger is a great figure. I have the original release.
On your office floor, layout blue painters tape on the floor for the size of the booth and do your setup preshow for any last minute fitting.
That’s a good idea, however you never know the odd details of the space you’re given
Hey Bobby, what about doing the Maryland show in November ? It would be great going into the holiday seasons, just a thought 🤔🤗
Will an Action Force TV show be worth it?
We think so!
Hey Bobby. Any chance you'll be doing LACC? You've got a huge fan base on the west coast and we'd love to see you guys out here.
I’m not a fan of California
you should have 1 for your collection and 1 of each extra new in box and loose for the archives
The show Displays are friggin fantastic and make it hard not to buy more shit than you intended to leave with!!
Also, does Jordan own any shirts with sleeves? Does he have a drawer of just severed sleeves?
still fresh in my mind how hectic but a lot of fun when comes to load my friend's toys and mine to sell at Jakarta Toy Fair 2024 back in march. hehehhehe
Awesome!
Just an observation and a question. From watching these toy channels, a lot of these guys talk about their OCD. Does toy collecting satisfy the urge or make it worse?
Still hunting for Kerak =(
ha, ha, it s so funny!
I used to wonder as to why people want to know about artists,
you know, rock bands and groupies, they want to know all about them,
I HATE rock concerts where you re all packed and the music is loud.
but if it s about figs, action vehicles and comics,
ahhh, I am all there, and funny enough, just as interested as groupies are, ha, ha!
ok, I still don t want to know about Bobby s life, personal.
but I am all ears about his concepts and ideas, philosophy...
I am a f.. fan... ha, ha.
and ouhhh I would have loved something like that at 13 in 82...
all the 'behind doors' secret pro stuff!
everyday I want to get new figs.... and work on my dios
I really need more money, and a house!
so now you know..
good show team
I love show exclusives and wish you made some figures that were only sold at shows and never produced again for your website.
Limited figures make collecting more interesting.
Honcho?
Open a figure at the show and sell him loose at the end of the show. I'm sure I'm not the only out of box collector that would buy the figure after it's been opened
Am i losing my mind, did you not post a vid about Dick Tracy toys...i saw the notification. Didnt get to see the vid...unless i dreamt it 🤷🏿♂️
CZcams glitch! Come back in a couple weeks!
@@Valaverse lol was wondering where it went
Does that mean a I can re-tell my cringey Dick Tracy joke in two weeks ?🎉❤
I find it funny how you keep talking to the camera about all kinds of things and that employee guy of yours chips in as if you were asking him for his opinion or something. Does he not know you are recording for the channel?
He’s part of the show!
Where are you situated? If I go by there I can pick stuff up..
What do you mean?
@@Valaverse is your location a store that I can come by and buy items if I’m in that city or state..
Ok am I only 1 experience a mandela effect? Could swore saw the beginning of dick tracy review vid earlier this week but checked today watch entire clip does not show up? was that deleted or was that on a different channel>? wtf going on here?
I saw the dick tracy thumbnail yesterday but it looks deleted now
CZcams hiccup.
@Valaverse I started watching the video while working and paused it for a minute and it said "private video" and poof it was gone! I gather The Blank figure is the hard to find figure. I remember it being a prolific line and in a TMNT style of the time.
I know it's an old recording 😂😂😂
?
@valaverse why you don't simply rent storage places that are in the same vicinity for the same comic cons or joefest shows you attend for example have one with the valastash already at a storage garage and simply pick it up a few days or the day before at the show at DFW and no hassle it's all about working smart not hard
💪🤌🤘
bring your figures to mexico please
I want to earnestly comment on this soooo badly ......but Il use some restraint.
??
May I please have my 17 minutes back ? You clearly did not state if shows r worth it ! Talk about pants and table sizes should be your header
Sorry you feel that way. We assumed by all the work we had to do you would understand the title
Damn people dying of starvation children trapped in war zones the millions of people dying in hospitals people hit by cars loss of a loved one or god help us a pet .the suffering around the world biden as president and my god no. No . I cant believe u have to go through posing your figures at shows. 😢 my god i actually cant deal with even hearing about this. I mean how do u do it bobby. Ill pray just for you. 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Focus on the positive. You can’t control any of the things you listed and those things have ALWAYS occurred… but way more often and worse in the past. Now is the best time the world have EVER had and you are missing it.
