No, I didn’t know you worked on any of these. Out of all the toys shown, I have to say that the Infinity Gauntlet caught my eye the most for its bells and whistles.
I had the original Sears Exclusive Missile Command Headquarters. As a kid, It was one of my favorite toys. It cemented my love of cardboard toys. Thank you, Bobby, for giving it the love it deserves.
Kinda surprised that Death’s Head didn’t make the video. That was an epic figure and one they still haven’t been smart enough to duplicate in the larger scale Legends.
It's great to hear about your background in the toy industry. Your experience shows why your own line of figures is as great as it is. Thanks for sharing!
I would love a list of the Marvel Legends that Bobby has done. One of the first deluxe ML sets I bought was Captain America with his motorcycle. I loved that set. When he mentions a figure or figures he has worked on I look at the shelf and see if I have it. So it would be rad to have a ML section on the shelf of Bobby Vala designed Legends.
@@Valaverse Yes! Please do. I think other ML collectors and myself would love to see this. The haters also need to see how many Bobby Vala designed toys they have in their collections. I think the would be surprised.
@@Valaverse After they hate look at their collection they will either have their head explode like in Raiders of the Lost Ark or they can go play on the freeway.
I do not know much about you Bobby and I do not need to know much but I certainly enjoy watching these videos same can be said about the countdown to 100 th Valaverse item.Keep up the good work my man !😁👌
Since becoming a fan of the Action Force line and watching the Valaverse company, I’ve been entertained but more importantly educated. From concept, marketing, and tooling to sample runs, packaging, and distribution, being a fan has really made me appreciate toy manufacturing. Other than you, are there other past, current, and future toy designers we should watch for?
It would be awesome to SEE the Misdle Command Center minty unpunched, much less get to copy and update it! Got my Warpath Eclipse from the eclipse sale today! Appreciate the free gift as well! When will the Vanguard’s start shipping? I’m jonesing ovah here!💚
Can't believe Hasbro let you go after working on such amazing Popular items. But im kinda glad they did we as fans might never of had valaverse action force. Also l just wanted to say thanks for the eclipse sale and the free gift was awesome. Again valaverse customer service is second to none.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Someone on my CZcams channel suggested a Deluxe Gemini as a response to my Deluxe Blowback video, and I’ve got to say, I love that idea, so I’m writing it here to put the idea out in the universe!
Bobby, thanks for sharing. Seeing the emotions and hearing your voice crack while recalling your experience for winning toy of the year really made me want to give you a hug, brother! Excellent content. It's refreshing to see "good guys" win one for us. I am so happy things turned out the way they did! Valaverse is awesome! So...any chance at going into the 1/6 scale format with Action Force? I bet Pandora would look awesome!!! 💥💯
Holy shit, the 14 inch hulk is my only figure I still have from the 12 inch line, I'm just in love with it. Also my favorite artist is dale keown, makes a lot more sense now!!!
Wow this is incredible did not know you made these line especially the ufc and meng the thanos gauntlet 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 oh from your line which figure you would put in 31inch line i wouldn't mind the wasp ones but yea just wanted to know stay bless awesome insight 💪☝👏
@@Valaverse whoa awesome! Such cool items that you've had a hand in bringing to fans, collectors and most importantly, kids! Imagination and creative play!
How much was that 31" Spider-Man at Costco? It would probably put the HasLab Sentinel, Galactus, and Giant-Man figures to shame. Hasbro could have done easily affordable giant sized figures. Hasbro and Disney are just plain greedy.
@@maddrop At about two feet tall or more they might be too big to do as BAF figures. Who is going to want large hunks of useless plastic? These pieces will be useless if they don't have the whole thing. The whole giant sized figure at $50 would work best.
I was substitute teaching in a class and the teacher had the gauntlet up on a cabinet and kids kept trying to grab it and play with it. I had to take it back to get on task and set it back where it was. It fell of the 6’ cabinet and a finger popped off - panic! But I popped it right back on 😂 middle school kids….
The MMA fighter with the Infinity Gauntlet was Michael 'Venom' Page, and it was a Bellator event. He is super skilled and dangerous on his feet, and this year he made his debut at the UFC.
Bobby! You asked on 3POA recently how we feel about the ab and waist articulation that legends uses on their RYV buck, the diaphragm ball peg and waist crunch combo. PLEASE don’t use that articulation. Your current setup is PERFECT. Double ball peg at the ab and the waist is the way to go. You get the most amount of range and it’s aesthetically pleasing. You can’t rotate at the waist when you use the lower waist crunch. Also, you mentioned neck articulation too. The only improvement I’d suggest is a double ball peg connecting the upper neck and head and a second double ball peg connecting the lower neck to the torso, similar to how mafex does it, but NOT like hasbro marvel legends does it. We know Dwight can’t design a ball peg to save his life. OR disk hinge at the head and double ball peg in the lower neck, which I think is what classified often does. I still think two double ball pegs are the premium option. Honestly, I think a singular, properly designed double ball peg in the head and upper neck gets you all the range you could possibly want. I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but that’s just the two cents of a loyal customer.
Agreed. Double ball peg at the base and top of the neck is by far the best system for necks in figures. Additionally, I do think that newer male figures could also use some slightly updated proportions, especially with the chest and shoulders. And lastly, hinges at the hips are just the worst - they always end up loosening up and being a pain to work with, they don't look good when actually hinged down, and they're completely unnecessary if the figure's hips and upper legs are designed correctly to allow the proper clearance for articulation. Not claiming to be an expert, but there are examples out there at the same price point that show how it can be done in an improved manner. Little tweaks to a new male buck can make a big difference for our upcoming figures.
@Valaverse ha, no, I'm an in box collector.. I always wanted the original and missed this one over the years until I saw it at a good price at a local toy expo
Did you know I worked on these?
I follow your lives and other appearances so yes, I knew 😁👍
Some of them. It just goes to show what a mistake Hasbro made by letting you go. But, in the end, we all benefited from it. Thanks, Bobby. 👍🏻
Thank you for the gauntlet!
No, but now I know, and knowing is half of the battle!!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
No, I didn’t know you worked on any of these.
Out of all the toys shown, I have to say that the Infinity Gauntlet caught my eye the most for its bells and whistles.
The artistry the stories the product information. Thanks Bobby!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Very cool to see Mr Vala's passion for what he does shine through. Pride and passion is why Valaverse is doing so well and Hasbro.......not so much.
Wow. This is cool to see the work you did and how happy and proud it made you. No wonder action forse is doing so well!
Thanks!!
I had the original Sears Exclusive Missile Command Headquarters. As a kid, It was one of my favorite toys. It cemented my love of cardboard toys. Thank you, Bobby, for giving it the love it deserves.
My nephew LOVED his star Lord elemental blaster
Wow! I own that Hulk and I got my sister-in-law that Groot! It's amazing that you had a hand in so many great projects.
Kinda surprised that Death’s Head didn’t make the video. That was an epic figure and one they still haven’t been smart enough to duplicate in the larger scale Legends.
The 12" line in Marvel Legends was a missed opportunity to make giant sized characters into figures.
That 12 inch Hulk looks great. 🤩
Infinity Gauntlet...
Needed this the moment I saw it. Also, fun fact....everyone who wears it flips the bird 🤪
The legends role play stuff was some of my favorites, the Infinity Gauntlet always gets used when people come over. One snap and they all disappear
It's great to hear about your background in the toy industry. Your experience shows why your own line of figures is as great as it is. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I have the Infinity Gauntlet, didn’t know you designed it! Going on my Valaverse shelf now.
Awesome!!
Good stuff I enjoy listening to your achievements
Love this format. It's like those breakdowns of actors iconic roles that GQ does. Would love to see more of these.
Exactly what we were going for!
@@Valaverse You can imagine my validation hearing you confirm this on the 3POA pod. Haha. Top tier takes as always sir.
I own the dancing Groot, the Infinity Gauntlet, and I’m pretty sure I have that Spiderman too. You carried the decade in the toy industry for sure.
I had no idea! Love these videos Bobby!
I have always loved the 12in line. I have many ToyBiz ones from the 90’s
I got that Conner McGregor figure for my dad as a birthday gift cause he loves the UFC. So thanks for working on that line for the time.
I would love a list of the Marvel Legends that Bobby has done. One of the first deluxe ML sets I bought was Captain America with his motorcycle. I loved that set. When he mentions a figure or figures he has worked on I look at the shelf and see if I have it. So it would be rad to have a ML section on the shelf of Bobby Vala designed Legends.
Should we do a video where Bobby goes through all the Marvel Legends he worked on?
@@Valaverse Yes! Please do. I think other ML collectors and myself would love to see this. The haters also need to see how many Bobby Vala designed toys they have in their collections. I think the would be surprised.
Oh wow. What will they do!!?
@@Valaverse After they hate look at their collection they will either have their head explode like in Raiders of the Lost Ark or they can go play on the freeway.
Haha.
I do not know much about you Bobby and I do not need to know much but I certainly enjoy watching these videos same can be said about the countdown to 100 th Valaverse item.Keep up the good work my man !😁👌
This was very wholesome, needs more attention for his hard work.

Funny looking around the nerd cave there’s more stuff from Bobby than I thought.
Oh yea!? Like what?
Your talents are awesome!
It would be awesome to SEE the Misdle Command Center minty unpunched, much less get to copy and update it! Got my Warpath Eclipse from the eclipse sale today! Appreciate the free gift as well! When will the Vanguard’s start shipping? I’m jonesing ovah here!💚
Soon!
I like seeing what you worked on
Thanks!

I have no idea why, but CZcams unsubscribed me from your channel. I’m glad this popped up in my recommends!

Very cool! So glad you’re doing content like this Bobby. I didn’t know anything about your background but am loving learning more!
wow, awesome stuff man!
The Sears missile base set was how I got my Cobra Commander when I was a kid.
That giant spider man is cool do you have one in the office?
Buried somewhere haha
Awesome video love hear stories and experiences like yours in our hobby
Glad you enjoyed it
Dude you're my hero! I own all these.
Oh I don’t know about all that but thank you

You are definitely a talented person! Was really cool learning a bit about your toy creating history.

What was the decision behind those awful ratchet hips on both of the UFC figure series? If you can speak on it.
Love your valaverse products but that paper command center is a fkn laugh.
You do understand it’s a reissue of an old toy ?
@@Valaverse Yes i know but it was a very bad one even back in the day.
To some, maybe.
😂😂😂 GOT'EM yr welcome
Whoa!
Whoa good?
@@Valaverse whoa awesome! Such cool items that you've had a hand in bringing to fans, collectors and most importantly, kids!

Yeah you are right. This spiderman is the reason Galactus should have been sold by 100 or less LOL
@@maddrop Absolutely!
@@hammertronactionfigures2426 they should even do it as a BAF. Same quality of the toybiz Galactus back in the day, right?!
@@maddrop At about two feet tall or more they might be too big to do as BAF figures.
Who is going to want large hunks of useless plastic? These pieces will be useless if they don't have the whole thing.
The whole giant sized figure at $50 would work best.
I am being sarcastic. Cant compare a Galactus figure, with light up features and lots of articulation, with that spiderman, it makes no sense.
Awesome video Bobby!
Really appreciate you leaving a comment! Thank you for watching!

Very cool! I just picked up the missile command a couple months ago
Yea? Did you open it?
@Valaverse ha, no, I'm an in box collector.. I always wanted the original and missed this one over the years until I saw it at a good price at a local toy expo
well, congrats on the find!
Hulk.... Robot head ugh.. normal non teeth head.. Still one of my favorite figures ever, but come on.
What do you mean?
