      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.

    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 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!

  • @MythonThePython
    @MythonThePython Před měsícem +2

    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.

    @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. 🙂

    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.

    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.

    @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!

  • @darkestcloister

    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

    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...

    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

  • @maybetoby

    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
