I'm in very much the same position you are. I started as an AF Kickstarter backer before GI Joe Classified was even announced. As time progressed I've noticed a toxic nature evolve in the AF community and it's putting me more out of the line. I am simultaneously refreshed by Bobby's honesty regarding the business side, and put off by his willingness to at least tacitly condone bashing of dissenting opinions. I was all in on the main characters of series one, but I only got about half of series 2. Series 3 I'm all in on the main line (not army builders), but I'm likely done with AF After this unless there's something really cool. I've dealt with some of the common defects with this line, as you covered in this video, but overall I have enjoyed them as a whole. However, with Classified producing some of their best work currently, and my nostalgia for that property, I can't justify continuing to heavily collect both lines.
You hit some key points. With Classified pumping out so much and making really good figures, it’s hard to want to spend this kind of money on figures that might have a defect and I have no nostalgia for.
Yeah I collect both Action Force and Classified. Both have positive and negative aspects of each brand.
The toxic fans on social media including certain CZcams channels are irritating. I’ve unsubscribed to a few channels who spew too much hate and make some really unfunny and cringy jokes. They clearly have their audience and that’s cool. I’m not wasting my time with them anymore.
I agree, and by no means am I saying other companies don’t have issues also.
So after watching one of your previous vids on the issues that you had with these Action force figures I was a bit uneasy about the figures that I had coming from BBTS. I had ordered 4 figures, 2 Delta troopers and their gear packs and 2 Night Ops Steal Brigade. I must say when they showed up I was pleasantly surprised as the Steel Brigade looked really really good in person. The first thing I did with all 4 of them was hit them with about 30 sec of good heat using the wife's hair dryer before I started moving them around. You could really feel the difference from the super stiffness right out of the box to just that bit of heat. It made them "playable" per say. Gearing up the Delta Trooper I hit him with heat then popped him apart at the ab joint. I heated his vest just a little and that made getting it on and closed super easy, then I heated his ab and popped him together. I did the same when changing hands out. Super easy. I also bought some little containers to store the millions of other hands lol.
These figures are going to be played with by me and my kids so we'll see if they hold up as well as my kids classified figures have. So far no issues.
All in all these figures are not bad if your into Military figures in my opinion. I can't seem to really get into the story line of their universe so I will be staying away from most of the named figures and the Sci-Fi scarab troops. I do like troop builders though, and I get what you are saying about the pricing, but having the ability to just take blank slate as it was and customize it with what ever gear you choose is kind of fun. I've actually just ordered 2 more Delta gear packs and 2 of the black dressed spec ops troopers. I think that combo will blend nicely with the Steel Brigade.
Are you related to Bobby? Does a Punk w/Toys not know how to heat toys? Was it actually your hairdryer?
Hey Look! A Troll!
@@Hydrus496 Calm down I was just making a joke. Not trolling. I know it gets lost in text.
You my friend are one of the main people I was hoping would see this video. Not everyone is aware of some of the issues and how to avoid them. I’m glad you’re have good experiences with them.
Your objectivity is much appreciated; but, you know you are gonna catch heat from the Vala-boys. Positive criticism is needed to improve the line.
Why Vala-boys are so sensitive, IDK. These are toys. You can only be but so invested in them. This toy toxicity takes all of the fun out of collecting.
I'm into troop building using the Vala Delta troopers. Hasbro doesn't have a generic trooper or weapons packs for the Classified line. This is what makes Valaverse so unique. The two lines compliment each other. All this tribalism has to stop.
Amazingly I haven’t had any negative comments yet, and I am surprised. I was seriously waiting for it and was prepared. I’m hank you for the kind words. Hopefully more CZcamsr’s will come across my reviews and see you can be objectively critical without putting down the product.
Dorklair did very honest reviews of wave one when they first came out and he was attacked on Facebook.
Never heard of him. I’ll have to check his channel out. I enjoy anyone who is honest and lets us know what they feel is good and bad about a product.
I have to admit, I did listen to alot of Valaverse haters, in the beginning. Only pulled the trigger to get Sgt Slaughter. The figure was ok, but a bit small. The thing I hated most about Valaverse was, and is the head sculpts.
A few weeks ago I went ahead and pulled the trigger because the Night Ops Steel Brigade looked really nice. Of course being a die-hard collector, I had to get more than one. I picked up that Steel Brigade, Garrison, Condor, and 2 black army builders and 2 Riot packages.
Being a die hard Joe collector since the 80's, I have to admit the only thing Classified has over these figures are nostalgia, and the head sculpts. More bang for the buck when considering Hasbro raising prices. Take in consideration I have not had any quality control issues.
Most figures have a mask and or helmets so not that big of a deal. I have plenty of Legends head sculpts laying around so problem solved.
Being a customizer as well, I love how different the figures are. Honestly they look more like a special unit of Joes. I think the matte pants, vests, and weapon options make the figure.
Lastly, like I stated earlier, I am and forever will be a Die-hard Joe collector. Due to Hasbro taking their sweet@$$ time releasing figures, I became more of a customizer. These figure just open up my imagination. I now have endless possibilities of customizing.
Everyone do yourself a favor....ignore everyone. Pick up a figure or two and decide for yourself. I did and I don't regret it. I would probably recommend heating the figures just in case. I didn't, but then again, I live in Houston. The temp in my car hits over 100 so maybe that why I didn't have issues.
I hadn't noticed the torso being a ball swivel until just now, that is much better. Shows how much I've handled mine
I know cause I had to disassemble the Scarab to fix him lol
I agree 100% they have there pros and cons but the worst part is the schills that believe that Valaverse can do no wrong
Yep, and in the beginning it was either “these are perfect” or “these figures are garbage and everyone of them breaks”.
I made a comment on a video from a certain CZcamsr that I couldn’t take his Classified review seriously when the video was sponsored by Action Force, started with that CZcamsr talking with Bobby, and they were talking about the Action Force figure based on that CZcamsr. Needless to say, people didn’t take kindly to that.
It’s a shame because that channel had really good, informative videos about the original Action Force line that I enjoyed watching.
Great video I agree totally with the troop builder point. They're pretty much all the same body just different repaints.
Not pretty much, they are all the same lol. Thank you
I love valaverse and will continue to support the line. So to do that is have honest reviews and actually articulate the issues of these figures. There is so much potential for valaverse because there is direct communication with the creator. I haven’t had any of my figures break, but for my delta ops trooper, the hip joints are loose. I’ve bought three of them so far and all them have the similar issues.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts out there!!
Thank you for the kind words. There is potential for sure and I do like that we have a different line that works with GI Joe, and I hope we get some sun teams like a SEAL type team.
@@Apunkwithtoys oh my gosh that would be so cool!! I hope down the line they do HAZMAT or scooba diver operators.
@@nottopgoon5773 divers to go with Torpedo when he comes 💪🏼
I totally agree about the over painted head sculpts… take Duster for example
I was super excited for this figure when I first saw the photos and then when I got him in hand I thought it looked horrible… he looks like the neighbor Steve from Married with children and now I just can’t unsee that
I’m thinking about blocking you just for putting that thought in my head about Steve 😂
You're not alone. The shoulders on my 4 Night Ops Steel Brigade figures aren't welded shut. Must have been a problem at the factory. Haven't lost a neck yet, but I've been mindful of that flaw now that I know. You're right about the state of the "community." It's not really fair to use that word. Factions are more like it when it comes to some lines and companies. Anyway, stay strong and have fun with your purchases.
Thank you. I’m in the process of getting my display back in order after all the reviews the past couple weeks.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO IM OUT ON THIS LINE IVE BOUGHT EVERYTHING IN THIS LINE BUT THE TOXICITY IS TOO MUCH FOR ME ILL SPEND MY MONEY ELSE WHERE.
Sadly I think we are seeing more people like you say the same thing. I also think it is why it seems Bobby Vala has toned down a little.
I appreciate your honest opinion. Overall, I like the line but there are a few issues with the figures. I realize that it has to be hard to start up a toy company from the ground up and not have some growing pains. So for me, I’m willing to cut some slack for the issues as long as they get resolved going forward (which they seem to be). So far the only issue I ran into is with one of my BBTS exclusive steel brigade(shoulder split). I started collecting from series 2a, so I don’t have the same experience as the initial collectors. I think some of these CZcamsrs don’t realize how respect they lose when they shill or try to create a action force vs Gi joe mentality. Both lines has its pros and cons. Hopefully for series 4, 5 and beyond, Action force can get away from having the same body mold for most of its male figures. I understand why it’s needed for starting up, but they do need some more diversity in their body molds.
Thank you. I like the line, and hopefully it is getting better. The last thing I want to do is do reviews blasting a company, I want to be positive, but I’m going to remain honest.
I have been watching Retroblasting for a long time. Then I started watching Analog Toys and I heard about Bobby Vala and started watching their podcast. I was excited that they he started his own toy line. I was really impressed that so many Toy CZcamsrs got behind Bobby and went to bat for him so to speak. But at some point it did get a little out of control in which some people just came after anyone saying anything negative of Valaverse. I'm glad you are saying the truth.
At first I thought it was a direct competition with Classifieds but after more thought I really don't think they are. If you are collecting Classifieds because of the nostalgia they bring, because you like seeing your old GI Joes "all grown up" so to speak then Classifieds is the line for you. Valaverse won't do any of that. If you like military figures, with accurate firearms, and new story lines then Valaverse is for you. I'm a GI Joe fan and that's why I collect Classifieds. I'm not interested in collecting a whole new line of figures. I do want to support small toy makers like Valaverse and as a Marine Veteran I do like the authentic firearms he uses so I will be buying a select few figures. The price is steep at $32 the most i have paid for classified is $25 and most were $20. I do have a Valaverse weapons pack for the Joe's. Although now GI Joe is coming with more realistic guns.
Sadly those 2 CZcamsrs you mentioned have become some of the biggest shills for the line and EVERYONE sees it. Thank you for the kind words as I am trying to be as honest as possible.
I like you try and support some of the smaller companies, I’ve fallen in love with Plunderlings. But for some reason it seems that this line is really the only one with drama.
@@Apunkwithtoys yeah, I like both retroblasting and analog but I’m having issues with the overwhelming praise for valaverse and the bashing for gi joe classified
@@vidtracey and that’s just it, the constant love of everything Valaverse with no criticism tells everyone that you’re not objective at all. Sorry but when you do stuff like that your opinion means nothing as I know you are pretty much bought and paid for.
@@Apunkwithtoys so true my friend
Thank you for these videos on this series of figures. I wish more CZcamsrs would be honest with there reviews so consumers like us would be informed of the quality of the products. I can personally relate to these issues and I have said this with GI.joe and other action figure toy line's that have recently came out . If people aren't honest about the products your buying how can these companies improve there products?
Thank you for the kind words. It’s not only how will companies get better if they’re not told they’re having issues, what incentive do they have to fix things if no one complains?
My Delta Trooper the neck cracked and the peg came out still inside the head.
The Valaverse team took care of me right away and took care of it without any issues.
I do believe Bobby is addressing majority of the issues as they come up, obviously if the waves have already been produced and shipped out, he cannot correct them. But I do believe going forward he is and already has addressed many issues, just my opinion from what I am seeing.
I am waiting for BBTS to ship me my Night Ops Steel Brigade, but I do plan to heat him up, so hopefully no issues will occur.
So far it does seem as if the owner is trying to do right by his product.
The community 100% put me off Action Force.
And that’s what’s sad, cause these a good figures. I’m not even sure if they realize how much better they could even be doing.
They are awesome figures
I agree some are really good, some are ok, but none are bad.
Just subscribed to you because of the video. Very honest view, great points made. They are still growing so ideally they can adjust their QC and listen to fans. Remember when Joe's 1st came out with 6in. Ppl bashed it, it's fortnite looking blah blah. Just hang wether the storm. I hope AF will be the same. Nothing is perfect and it's ok to disagree, just be honest. Ya got my support.
Thank you. I buy and support Valaverse but I also want the new fans to know what to look for in the line. I would love nothing more than to say this and every toy line is perfect, but we know that’s never gonna happen lol
@@Apunkwithtoys when I 1st got wave one, it was winter in CO. and they were still in mail box. I had them all around my wife's candle, nothing like some RANGER TV lol. Also have you checked out GRIDIRON studios. Little pricey, but the weapons are fantastic. Even certain kit set ups for specific Joe's.
Keep doing what you're doing brother, let the shills take pills and take a dirt nap. I sub to your channel because I appreciate the honesty and you're not under the desk of company owners like some of those other knob goblins.
Thank you, and I’m not under any desk that’s for sure 😂
Thanks for your insight. I have yet to try Valaverse, and your video is helpful. I'll be trying one soon and will for sure give an honest review.
Enjoy, they’re good figures but like many collectable, it helps knowing a little about what might go wrong if not taken care of properly. Hope when you get the figure the video is helpful for you.
Yea. The Steel Brigade Night Ops right Shoulder is separated. Wanted to switch out the head & the damn ball joint popped out with the head, & I am super careful with all my figs.
That right there is the issue. Most of us are carful and when people tell us we just don’t know what we’re doing, you realize those are the “yes men”.
I’ve had zero issues with my action force figures or weapons but had I not known to warm the plastic up I likely would have damaged a few. It doesn’t bother me that I need to do extra steps to pose the figures. The extra hands I just put the hands in an organized tackle box for just my action force figures. Have similar boxes for classified marvel legends and McFarlane dc multiverse Extra parts. The vests are the most irritating thing but as I work with them more it becomes easier to manipulate heating them makes them easier to pop on.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having to heat some figures up either, it’s part of collecting.
I liked your video nothing wrong with the truth.
Thank you
Thank you for this honest review, subscribed!
You’re welcome and thank you for subscribing 💪🏼
I just had this issue yesterday with my Bone Collector, I don’t ever change hands I just use trigger hands & Bone Collector came out of the box with two fists. To say I struggled getting them out is an understatement, but when I put the trigger hands on they were sticking out and I shoved them in good too so I thought I had to snip the ends but then after struggling a few more times it went in and then there was the other hand to do…
Yeah you have to heat them normally to get them in all the way. I think it may have been on my Duster review that I actually snipped the end on video and then later realized what I said in the video 🤷🏻♂️
Good honest review which is what I come here for. AF is a mostly good to great Line, considering the shaky start of a first Kickstarter not even making it that there are two Waves finally in the wild and a third on the way is nothing to sneeze at. The quality is mostly good - but that "mostly" is doing a lot of work. QC seems to be great for some, not so great for others. It's the fact that you have rightly highlighted the known issues in the face of an almost complete pass from the rest of the Review Community that points to the problem some of us have......the Shilling. Those so firmly in the Bobby-can-do-and-say-no-wrong Camp just come over as idiots and reality deniers. And it's not necessary. The product can mostly talk for itself. Being gaslit by RetroBoi and Sgt. Drunky that everything is awesome and anyone having any issue at all is lying is just insulting - and dumb.
Keep telling it like it is fella.
Thank you. I think you explained it properly, the line pretty much speaks for itself, but it’s not perfect. When very few reviewers will speak objectively on the line, how does anyone know if the product they’re buying is good? I will support this product as long as I see improvements and they continue to make toys I like.
I agree with you. The lack of earnest reviews are what is causing me to delay on getting these figures. I’m even still looking for info on stuff like whether the later re-release of the Swarm troopers don’t have the same wave 1 problems
The new Sentry will look better with Serpentor, with that gold armor with Scarab and Swarm as back up.
Possibly, hopefully they will be available still when Serpentor comes a flying in on his chariot
Heat is definitely your friend. If you pre-heat with the hair dryer you can wake up all the joints and help with the tighter joints. It's a lot safer to do it that way for sure. Particularly if you're popping off hands, abs, or heads. Be extra careful with loosening up the legs at the thighs. If you feel any resistance, heat the leg, and work it slowly. Work every joint slowly before you start Playing with the figure. Alot of these figures have been sitting in containers for Months, plastic being what it is, and product coming direct from shipping to distributors to retailers, and product mostly being used to fill pre-orders, product doesn't sit in retail long, acclimating etc. If you bought the Weapon Pack Bravo, with the Saw and mounting legs, or the Trigger figure with the saw weapon, I had to heat the weapon to soften the clip area where the stand leg stand went, because of the rigidity of the weapon. You risk breaking the weapon if you don't. Once in, it's in. That said, Re-use is heavy, that is by design because of the cost of tooling. Shipping from overseas factories per container has gone from 3,000 a container to 6 or 7 times the cost, and they still haven't raised prices, I think because they are already priced at what they are. Since these aren't mass retail, they are considered specialty figures, and priced the way they are.
I bought 4 delta troopers, scarab, sgt. slaughter v2, trigger 2b, garrison cavalry, with more to come. Here are my thoughts.
1. Vests are hard to put on without specific tools.
2. I had one scary neck joint moment, putting a head back on with a delta neck joint. Necks need to be ball jointed at the base like classified, not one piece from the chest. because there is only a forward joint, turning the head forces the head to look up if it's not facing front. This design puts a lot of stress on the chest/neck area when swapping heads. Double neck joints needed. If you use heat, they come off a lot easier. 1 of 4 deltas had a cracky noise when working its head on.
3. Series 1, Hands, Neck, Thigh joints are scary without heat. Excess paint in hands, makes hands feel scary swapping. I swapped out 3 hands, and they all felt super tight and scary pulling on without heat. 2 of them were seized and had to be worked slowly to loosen before pulling at. If you can't rotate at the wrist, don't pull, heat and work.
4. Of the 4 delta gear I put on, I got 3/4 moderately on, but they all took a ton of time, and none of them look perfect. The mushroom peg system is flawed. They perhaps need to move to a double snap system where they can plug into one another vs. through the holes.
5. Heavy re-use of parts. Alot of the extra accessories are Hands. It's like super 7, but Super 7 gives you EVERYTHING you want, and stuff you don't want. Valaverse gives you 1 figure, a sidearm, a rifle, knife, and a Body Armor Kit (Kit, Belt, or Leg straps). The figure buck is 21.99 with nothing. Depending on how you look at it, is all the customizable stuff worth 12.99? If anything, what that means, is perhaps the base figure is overpriced slightly. I really think the base figures should be like Hasbro's troop builders priced at 14.99, with 12.99 assessory packs. These should be around 27-28 bucks tops.
6. Head sculpts are Bleh. I used all the masked heads for everything.
7. Me personally, I have no nostalgia to this line, but their troop builders give us what GI Joe Classified has not thus far from the joe side (Green Shirts).
8. Better Ankle click placement. Given that the same buck is used for most of the figures, the ankles pass the test. I have 3 alley vipers from classified I've opened, and they all have loose feet, which messes with their stability because the clicks are miss aligned, causing it to lean forward or back, with too much play in between. If you work the ankles, they will become loose, and will have a lot of play. Ironken 3000 has a great review of problems with this figure.
9. Weapons are rigid, 100 percent fit Valaverse figures, some don't exactly match up with classified trigger finger hands (different line Afterall), some weapons look slightly out of scale for classified, but 1000 percent more detailed, and a 1000 percent upgrade to what you got with the classified figure.
10. Tight Joints - Heat first, handle with care, wake all joints before play/posing. Drop down Hips are scary. I've had tightness on Classified as well. I work every drop down joint individually, on classified, and do the same method with these described by a Fwoosh video, to minimize breakage. Ton's of Classified opened, I do this with every one. In regard to Valaverse, the only one's that gave me issues where Series 1 and Scarab (Scary left leg). Heat is your friend.
Thoughts on Valaverse: Good figures, improvements moving forward for tier 2B onward address past issues. Pegs for vests stink. 90 percent of reviews flat out skip this step or mention that its difficult, takes time, and can be hidden, or they just don't talk about it for time. I wanted to get figures in hand before I expressed thoughts. Weapons are rigid, highly detailed. I replaced half my Classified weapons for the Joes using up a Weapon pack Charlie. They look a ton better. Summary, Treat with care. Work the joints after heat, wake them up before use.
Hasbro and Classified aren't perfect either for sure. There are issues with loose feet at the ankles, and once they lose friction, become loose or lean. They have tightness as well, that need to be handled in similar manners, have hand swap issues that can develop into loose fitting. They have very little options for customizing other than 3rd party. Their weapons are easily replaceable once you have better 3rd party offerings.
Shartimus Bobby Vala Valaverse Interview:
czcams.com/video/ngCXjBqiqL0/video.html
Do you need to do a heat treatment on Wave/Series 2 figures? I haven't broken one yet...but they are stiff AF and I get scared when posing or changing hands...
The knifes and stocks did break on some of my figures. The stock on the m4. The bag of hands is a fact. I stopped opening them.
The knives are sharp enough you could kill zombies with them.
I have had some good luck with Valaverse, but I have mostly 2nd wave. I haven't managed to break a weapon from them yet...except for one knife when I was putting it in the sheath my finger nail caught it as I was pulling away and it snapped off. Sadly, there is no way to replace the knife :(. No one sells 1:12 scale small knives. Now, with Classified, I have had numerous issues. You speak of quality on the Alley Viper, but I cannot agree. Just trying to put the rifle in the figure's hand, the trigger ring broke. Same thing happened to the Uzi for the Kamakura figure. Also, when I was posing the figures outside to take some photos, the sun heated the weapons and melted them. That was just 80 degree Fall weather, not August sun. Not to mention standing issues with Classfied. Alley Vipers are the worst. Something wrong with how they're designed, they just can't stand well. I have to use figure stands for them and can't pose them without them having to lean on something.
Now, in regards to my complaints with Valaverse, is that they are very stiff. Classified is largely loose enough to pose them easily. The other problem is size. Take Sgt. Slaughter for example. He's so thin and short. He's shorter than the Valaverse "grunts." I have the Delta figures and a Night Brigade figure. They are taller than Slaughter, which diminishes his "authority" stance when you want to do Drill Sargent type photos. Don't dare sit Sgt. Slaughter next to Gung-Ho. OMG, Gung-Ho towers like a mammoth over Sgt. Slaughter. That's where Hasbro's Sgt. Slaughter is going to win out over Valaverse. He clearly has the Gung-Ho/Roadblock build.
With all that said, I am very happy with Valaverse and will continue to get them. I even have some Wave 3 on pre-order.
So, I’ve recently went into a massive rabbit hole to find accessories for my AF and GI Joe figs. If you didn’t know already, but Grid Iron studios sells 1:12 scale bladed weapons, including knives, and if you go on I think Hobby Link Japan, I believe you can find a slew of 1:12 knives and other weapon accessories.
I am a huge huge fan of Valaverse and what they are doing. But I also appreciate your honest review. I collect both classified and Action force so I don't understand why there is this toy vs toy. I don't agree with some of Hasbros business practices for sure though which is why I am a huge fan of valaverse. But a great deal of Joe action figures that have come out so far have been pretty good.
I can see why people really do like Action Force but why so much hate for either brand is beside me, when it comes to the actual figures. But sadly I do understand why so many people are turned off by Valaverse and some of the people that are spokesmen for their brand.
My biggest "bad" is the price of the fully kitted up troop builder. As a Mythic Legion collector, a normal figure is 37 and an builder is 26. The only difference is paint apps...which I'm told is where the money is.
The shoulders always stuck out like a sore thumb, to me! I can’t stand behind the figures at this time, but I did bite the bullet on the weapons packs. I’m excited to get them the mail to finally check them out for myself!
I also agree that the Valaverse and GI Joe Classified community has been very weird and being in the minority that prefers the Sci Fi aspects like Swarm, the Sci Fi Guns has people in the community being very toxic to me instead of letting me like what I like when I say I like such things.
I mean, I don’t like the sci-fi guns but if you do good for you, I mean I don’t have to have them in my collection 😂
That’s what always gets me. Whenever I see people talk about how great Action Force is, they always mention four things:
1. Extra hands
2. The stand
3. realistic weapons
4. good guy troop builders
And I’m always like…cool, but I don’t want any of those things. GI Joe isn’t supposed to have generic soldiers, I don’t want a bunch of extra pieces floating around (one of the reasons I started buying the line is their great accessory storage), I don’t care about stands (because they’re designed well enough you don’t need one), and most importantly, GI Joe is a sci-fi property! They fight snake people and go to outer space! Cobra has teleporters and clone technology! And TWO of the original 13 had laser weapons! Sci-fi guns are completely within the scope of the franchise. I don’t think *every* figure should have them, but there’s nothing wrong with them.
Dont let a couple trolls discourage you from saying what you wanna say. If you are on the internet theres gonna be people who start shit just to start shit. Everyone wants to be andy kaufman on the internet lol.
No worries there. I would say that this channel has been built by giving honest reviews (at least my honest opinion) so I have no plans to change that cause it might upset some. Thank you for the kind words.
I recently commented on a valaverse video, under their question about if we wanted to see more videos of bobby walking around target complaining about toys, I said "no I want to here about your products without you having to bash other products" I figured since they are so critical they would be able to handle some criticism with ease, The valaverse account called me a hater and challenged me to make a "move". Im not shure I care to support that type of company , Small ,Large or inbetween. My impression is that bobby is angry at the toy industry, And thats what his company is about, Not saying im correct just saying my impressions. Agreeing that the vala community will get wierd on anyone who isnt in full praise of the line.
That work cause I did it and work a minute or two my figure was sporting new Delta vest
I got a few from the different waves, and I like them. but they're not perfect and they are certainly stiff out of the box. The circle jerk from some channels doesn't help anything, especially as vocal as Bobby is on lines/company he gives shit.
And you pretty much nailed it
Man! I wish I had watched this video before buying my Valaverse figures. Those shoulder look really ugly!
It’s not too bad on the figures wearing shirts, but the bare shoulder figures it’s awful IMO.
I'm surprised Valaverse hasn't taken advantage of creating figures that aren't necessarily politically correct. We're getting a bloodied version of Pandora, so that's a start. These characters are killing each other in the comics, so where are the alternate severed arms, blood effects, hidden (capped) wounds that can have sharp objects impaling them? Don't have a stomach for blood, then where are the risqué females?
I know nothing about the comics but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see something like that in the future.
Bobby needs to spend more time focusing on quality control on his line instead of making videos 💩 on other lines. He’s the perfect example of bitter ex employee. I got the Vanguard and its cheap material use pales in comparison to Ramen Toys Ramen Racer. It’s just facts.
My question is why do you keep buying this line if all you do is complain about it? It’s a genuine question
Here’s my genuine question for you, did you watch the video? I don’t only complain, I try and do an honest review of the product. I still buy this product because the good out way the bad, but sadly there are people that don’t know anything about it and all they hear are CZcamsr’s telling them this is a perfect line. When you don’t know a line, and you pretty much have to order blindly, I believe you should be able to do research and actually find what’s good AND bad about it before investing your money. Every line can use improvements, but if we don’t give objective feedback to the manufacturer, good and bad, then they will continue to make the same product. Hope that answers some of your questions
I agree, talk about nitpicking 😂😂😂
Not shure how you could arive at all he does is complain about it? the valaverse reviews are comparable to his other reviews, good points bad points . honest opinions.
The T Pose, cmon now 😂. All figures have issues, it’s part of the game at this point.
🥷🏻 We have completely different experiences, outlooks, wants, etc. For example, I would cite extreme poseability and outstanding (kit-bash) customization potential with a near perfect amount of body parts able to be disassembled. If you’re a customizer, this line is for you. If you’re a poser, this line is for you. I have snapped one weapon to date, and it was completely my fault. Also, not the only toy in my collection that I’ve snapped. Classified Snake Eyes foot snapped at the ankle with ease. Also, I’m all about the variety of hands because I do more with my figs than folks who simply unbox, display, and forget. That said, I value your opinions and do not deny your experiences. Thanks for sharing!
🥷🏻 I’ll add that the characters “on the same team” who wear the same vest creates uniformity/faction identifier that for me, is a “good”; not a “bad.” 🥷🏻✌️
