@@ArticulatedNinja BTW, if you haven't already, you should check out the H.M. Armed Forces Fast Attack V.T.O.L. Jet and Fortnite Victory Royale Motorboat. Both would go well with your collection.
I won't lie. I got into Valaverse outta frustration with Classified's slow and confusing rollout. Once I got wave one in hand I was hooked and wave 2 is pretty much the same. They quality improved and so did the offerings. Looking forward to wave 3!
I’m old enough to remember the original Action Force figures. I like how Bobby decided to not go with nostalgia and instead go full on with modern military. I love the figures, just like I love the Classified line. Both have things that could be worked on, and fortunately it looks like both teams are trying to take care of those issues.
Action force recently grew on me. They’re highly articulate and great quality collection toys. Just ordered some action figures and accessory packs I’m so excited
My first figure was V2 Sarge, and I'm pretty happy with him. I can't say I had any problems with him. I got the black proto weapon set last year - all good. And, BBTS finally sent my wave 1 Sarge, Kerak, Alpha and Beta weapon sets and the Gung-Ho Declassified kit. I haven't had any problems with any of those either. I know some people had some issues with their wave 1 stuff...maybe the extra several months my wave 1 stuff spent sweating in a west coast shipping container helped them out, lol. I might just have gotten lucky too. And to be clear, I'm not discrediting the bad experiences anyone had with their wave 1 stuff. After getting all of this stuff, I'm convinced that Vala's stuff is the real deal. I'm about as happy with my Vala products as my Classified products...and I have to say that I prefer the Vala weapons to Hasbro's.
I completely agree. I initially bought into the hate. Refusing to give Vala a chance. Pulled the trigger on the Sarge, because we all wanted a Sarge. He was ok, but body was way too small. It wasn't until I saw Night Ops Steel Brigade and Garrison Cavalry that I decided to give them another look. Being a die hard collector, I couldn't just get the 2. I picked up Steel Brigade, Garrison, Condor and two black generic with the riot gear pack. These figures blew me away as well. As a die hard Joe collector, I have to admit these figures do look so unique, that it seems like they would be ordering the joes around. They look more like adult army figures. The thing I do hate are the head sculpts. Luckily I have plenty of extra head sculpts laying around. You might not want to say it, but I will. Dollar for dollar, when comparing what you get from Hasbro Classified at $25 vs what you get from Vala at $30.... sorry Vala wins. Vala edges out Classified based on the stand, the weapons pack, and the realistic outfit. The long pants over the boots is phenomenal. There really are only 2 things Classified has over Vala....thats nostalgia and head sculpts. The sad part is Hasbro opened the door to this by not getting product out. If I had access to the Twins, Outback, Mindbender etc etc, I would have never become a customizer. If product was readily available, I would have never purchased any Valaverse figures. Hasbro you screwed yourself. Even their greed by upping the price of Legends has put an end to my Legends purchases. So the combination of greed with Marvel Legends, and having @$$ clowns running Classified, they opened pandora's box, and I glady walked through.
I think series 1 had some wonky headsculpts going on but feels like they're going away from it I love Desert Rat, Rollout, Sarge headsculpts. Series 3 the women look like great headsculpts. But yea G.I. Joe product just far and few between
@@ingloriousmax I just ordered Trigger and Desert Rat, those head sculpts look legit online. Hoping they look great in person as well. The female figures head sculpts do look nice, but.... I know it might sound sexist, but I just don't think the female figures should be the same price as the male figures. It's not really a gender thing, it's more of a demand/desire thing. I honestly don't think anyone was clamoring for female figures. That being said, I might pick up one. Who knows, they might surprise me. Maybe I'm just weird because I don't think the plain clothes Legends figures should be the same price as the superheroes either. Like Peter Parker's friend, and all those suited side characters.
@@mikerandy843 Normally I'd agree because they typically have less accessories, worse articulation. But if the figures aren't gimped and the concepts are well executed then I think its fine.
I'm fully in on Action Force, backed Bobby on the crowdfunder & haven't looked back. I personally didn't have any issues with wave1 ( yeah had to heat up a couple of figures, no bother) no breakage, weak joints or fragile weapons. I've managed to get every figure going ( multiples of the troop builder's) and have wave3 on pre order, even my Classifieds are kitted out with weapons from the Valaverse weapons packs. Future looks bright for Action Force, give me more ! 🤘✌️
I have every figure. I even got bone collector from BBTS after they finally got them in. They are all amazing. Desert Rat, night force steel brigade, Calvary garrison, scarabs, trigger, rollout, duster. Et al
Awesome video bro! I just ordered a storm collectibles King from china, & bought an A.G.P. (Iron Grenadiers) vintage. Trick photography & army building 's all that I need...
When I finally got back into call of duty after a couple years away from it and having some customising skills I wanted a call of duty figure and after seeing these figures I knew this was the line to go for to get a call of duty type of character.
I picked up a Sarge & I was blown away at the quality & how much of a step up they felt vs Hasbro's lines. Classified is my #1 line also due to a 40 year love affair with those particular characters so Valaverse will never usurp them in that sense, but from an objective standpoint I'd pick up an Action Force figure over a Classified figure any day. The biggest bonus for me is how easy it is to customize them, which was an unexpected surprise. The pop-off torso separation from the waist, the awesome waist ball joints that pop off the legs easily, everything just feels better. That said, I really dislike the butterfly joints on them. To me they kill the flow of the sculpt & are a totally unneccesary piece of articulation. I know for some people, the butterfly joints are essential, especially for toy photographers, but it's my least favorite trend in modern 6" figures. I also hate ab crunch, so to me Vala figured out the best way to still have the swivel without having that weird cutout that Classified & Legends have, so another win for them. Then the multiple hands, wow what a selling feature. And the weapons MURDER the Joes. It's night & day. My dream scenario would be Vala getting the GI Joe license & doing all of their characters in his style. Hasbro messed up by letting that guy go, because his design instincts are so strong, but their loss is our gain.
I agree on all your points 🔥🔥 except the butterfly joints 😂 as you said me and other toyphotographers need em for posing and really holding that gun life like 😂
Thanks I'm def. gonna try valaverse out now Unlike other influencers talking about this line I trust your word the most. Others get free product and have to play nice, you will say the real.
I’m a action force addict. I have them all except bot con figure and have multiples. I’ve been real carful with them. I’ll still heat up the hands when I change them. The best part is u can boil them in water and damn ne’er change out all the parts for kitbashing. I have most of classified too. The difference is these are tight and easy to pose. With classified your getting sometimes too loose figures that need help standing up. All good. Enjoy them👊🏻🍻
Great video my dude. I'm getting my Super 7 Mumm Ra tomorrow and Liono on Friday. I freaking pumped man . I haven't really gotten into the GI Joe lines (or spin offs) but they always look amazing .plus the amount of accessories they included insane
I know it happens, but I have never experienced a problem with Series 1. As soon as they were opened, they took a bath in steaming hot tap water. After a few minutes, the movement was super smooth. One of the best things about Valaverse is the fact that Bobby Vala is pretty transparent in what goes on with the line. I had no problems with series 2A, no bath needed. I'm ordering Series 2B on Friday. As far as series 3 goes, he will have plenty in stock after he fulfills the preorders. I got on these because Classified was fuckin' up. Now that Classified course corrected, I got the Joes I've always wanted and Action Force too.
Man! I love this line. When Robo 1st reviewed the prototypes I couldn't wait for them to come out. I pre-ordered both series 1 & 2.... Then the rumors started coming out. I waited forever to get them. Then I got the notification that series 2 was shipping. Da hell??? What happened to my series 1? They must have switched up the production because I got my series 2 in a month before series 1 and my series 1 figs are straight butter! I love both series and can't wait for series 3. You also gotta get the BBTS EXC. Steel Brigade Night Ops fig too! Straight en fuego!
Dude, I was having a shit day man. But boom caught up with this vid and smiles and cheers ! Yoooo trigger is from 101st my 1st duty station and sh!t most my career ! So he is my fav, then desert rat holding it down till Dusty arrives then Duster bringing a NCO cool to rival Flint. Then sang the song and told my girl all I ever need is action, action figures. Lmao she just shook her head 🤣. Thank you man, wave 3 let's get it !!
I did hear the second wave had no issues. I mentioned that I got the V1 and V2 Sgt Slaughter and had no problem with it. Hope they really step up with wave 3
My personal belief today is that this figure line is one of the best lines out there today, he’ll probably the best line today. With the detail, articulation, accessories, packaging, just love taken to em. The weapons packs and stands etc are another huge plus. All for a few $ more then most marvel legends, Star Wars black series or my beloved joe classifieds line. What a good bang for the buck compared to others rt now, and he a small company trying to get a start. Can’t wait to see what more he comes up with when he gets a few more body templates to make different figures with. Rem he just started with this line an he already smoking the completion that has templates and molds for hundreds of different figures and accessories yet they don’t use em. Can’t wait to see what more he does as time goes and his company gets bigger. Does worry me though when he decides to partner with other bigger companies like he is trying now. Then he will have to answer more to the stock brokers etc then the fans like the other big companies do.
@@ArticulatedNinja I think you were just distracted by the amazingness if series 2 lol 😆 I can't wait for series 3! Did you watch the proof reveals of those figs?! Omg so good!
So I think I heard the Reissues of Wave one will be made in the same factory as wave two and three. I hope so cause I do want to get Kerak and Bone Collecter
Hey I got Trigger and BBTS exclusive Night Ops Brigade. And wow those figs are quickly among my faves. You should consider the night ops fig to army build or make a unique character.
Articulated Ninja thank you for your honesty and transparency. The production value in your video reviews are insane amigo! I wasn't sold on Valaverse figures until this review. G.i. Joe classified needs to step up it's game for real! The accessories on Valaverse is second to none at that price point. Once again thank you my friend for the Hard work you do.👍🏼✌
I'm definitely all in when it comes to valaverse..I agree they are on the border of being better than classified but with that said they also compliment classified I just purchased 4 more delta troopers as army builders for the joes.
I recently got Action Force Series 1 Swarm Trooper with the Jet Pack upgrade. I did have to heat the hands, but otherwise I think it is an excellent figure. There are other lines that take priority but I can see myself getting more of these figure. They're great, perfectly scaled, and blend in very well with Classified. So much so that you'd swear they were in the same line.
Vala wave 2 is on point. I bought Sgt Slaughter, Trigger and four Delra Troopers and all of the weapons packs. All have buttery smooth articulation. I've only had problems with removing hands on two of the Delta figs and Sgt. Slaughter. Other than that they're damn good. I bought a headless Delta body on ebay to experiment with and put a Killmonger head on it like you did. Vala, Classified, Marvel Legends and Fort Nite all blend beautifully. If you can check out Fort Nites Brutus Phantom figure. It comes with alot of good gear and is a decent figure itself. Yo, keep up with the good videos. Good work. 👍
Thanks for the review. I manage to get some Action Force of series 1 that is still in my pile of loot. It's slow progress for me to play catch up in this line. The female wave is my top priority when they are available to purchase.
I jumped in on valaverse thru weapons packs to spice up my joes, sgt slaughter version 2 was my reaaaaal step forward into the line i love the bang for buck i got. Im looking forward to getting the night ops steel brigade 😤👍
okay so I agree wave to was a huge step forward, Kerak and Bone collector still stand as two of my favorites. and I was willing to let them sit in hot water a few times till they finally became normal and not tight. But series two was no hot water required. Also the new torso gear goes on and off easy where wave 1's was a challenge to get the pegs back in the hole. Well sadly Rollout still has that issue cause it's that damn vest. However I would say my number one favorite figure now is Trigger. LOL dude has a cap on back word and killer shade with a badass beard. I feel like if I ever read the comic or when the movie comes out this guy will be my favorite character. After him comes Kerak. You got to try and get Kerak somehow. Yeah Pandora will be up there. though I kinda wanna get a block trooper female and swap parts on Eclipse. I may get Switchback too. And I do want Kick Boxer girl (the celeb figure that's not out yet and I forgot her name. I think Bobby wants a real life person every wave. So wave three has one. Just her and the blue Guard (which I need 3 of those at least to make cobra girls. The only thing I do wish is that he made a female Swarm Trooper. I hope he does at some point. Even a female Scarab would be cool too.
Valverse gives me the chance to give the joes side army builders. I love the cobra troopers, but it's good to give the joes some cannon fodder too. And valverse gives u that option. I'm just so glad we have some options now. It makes .e wonder if the corps will step up their game.
Definitely not trash. My series 1 figures were statue's. My series 2 figures worked but had limited mobility. It looks like Action Force is moving in the right direction. I'm hoping that series 3 will finally be problem free.
Oh for the ladies go to dork and also get the desert commando exclusive, he looks super cool. Basically the green guy and armor pack, but the paint design is wicked.
Yo I tell you... This is one of only a few toy companys that really care about the people buying from them... And they also know what the customer wants!!!
Yessir! The improvements with plastic quality, joint movement and wearable accessories are exactly what this line needed to begin to reach it's full potential. I was able to get Series 2 figs as well and I too was blown away at the improvements. Add on the BBTS exclusive Night Ops Steel Brigade troops and it's like all of the sudden Valaverse has a huge assortment of awesome figures and characters. I made a video showing how I've been having a blast mixing and matching parts to create unique troops and characters, the possibilities are endless. I'll never not be a GI Joe Classified fan/collector, but I can not overstate how impressive the Valaverse stuff is right now, and for me it just gives me more options and versatility with my Classified universe. Anybody sleeping on these is missing out bigtime!
Dude I recently started to follow and so far I have seen a great deal of your videos and I like how you put your content together. I got the Special Ops Trooper and riot gear sets and I love them. You’re right when you say that they go with everything. Kinda regret not getting more to have my own special unit to fight Batman in my toy pics.
I honestly have to say if you haven't already picked up the Night Op's Steel Brigade BBTS wave 2 exclusive, Get On That Shit! I ordered it on a whim one night and when I got it in hand I immediately ordered 2 more. I'm Classified all the way and that Valaverse Steel Brigade figure fricken pops on the shelf next to the Joes! Because of that one figure I have now jumped on the band wagon and built a small army out of all the interchangeable troop builders and weapon/gear packs. I feel like I'm 12 again building them all up and posing them. lol
I Came Across Them Last From Darkside Toys. I Pick Up Two #1 Waves All Accessories #Factz 💯. Then Ordered Wave 2a And 2b. Now Waiting For Wave 3 And Them Extra Exclusive Bro.CAN YOU SAY HYPED Lol 😆
Bro bro bro bro bro! WHERE did you get that Michael B head and how well does it work with that figure???? Did you have to work hard to get it to fit and is it too tight or too loose?
Literally a marvel legends killmonger head and i think the fit was fine but just get a dremel n dremel around the hole to make it a lil bigger if neccessary u can always use blue putty or tack to fill the hole if its to big as well.
Series 2 is pretty on point. Kerak is cool as shit too although series 1, mine is SOLID. So far they complient Joes soooo well. Rollout Trigger And another Rollout for custom. 4 Garrison guards too. Thinking on Desert Rat but just haven't decided.
Action Force Series 2 is great, Trigger is my favorite with Delta Trooper 2nd favorite. Great improvement in the plastic and don't need to heat out of the box. The new vest that debuts in series 2 is a great design because it allows for the articulation underneath to still function unlike the series 1 vest. The vest are now fixed where you can it them on easier without having to do all sorts of nonsense to get them all like in series 1 which was my biggest issue. I bought all of series 1 and while I liked them I was also frustrated by the issues they had. Series 2 corrects almost all of those issues. My only hope is that the line moves more toward the realistic modern military even more. I would love to get some SAS commandos, Navy Seals, Army Delta Force, and Russian Spetsnaz inspired figures. I would love for Valaverse to somehow get the Call of Duty license because I know Vala would do those characters justice and produce amazing figures.
With this channel, I add a like, usually a comment, for the algorithm, and then watch. I'm that confident.
Yo most meaningful comment I've received in the comments all week thank you i really try to deliver and still be authentic to myself.
@@ArticulatedNinja BTW, if you haven't already, you should check out the H.M. Armed Forces Fast Attack V.T.O.L. Jet and Fortnite Victory Royale Motorboat. Both would go well with your collection.

It's time for Action! Great video 😎
I’m old enough to remember the original Action Force figures. I like how Bobby decided to not go with nostalgia and instead go full on with modern military. I love the figures, just like I love the Classified line.
Both have things that could be worked on, and fortunately it looks like both teams are trying to take care of those issues.
Bro that song at the end was brilliant!!!!!! 😂😁😆 “won’t stop until that figure’s mine” you made my day! Can I download that song?
Preach, I only have 2 but they are main stays and DUSTER with the bruised ML PARKER head was a pocket fig for a hot min
Those action figure shots are dope bruh 🔥🔥🔥
🙏🔥🔥 thank you takes time but its worth it
Action force recently grew on me. They’re highly articulate and great quality collection toys. Just ordered some action figures and accessory packs I’m so excited
Series 3 is great. Looking forward to the ladies.
Agreed 💯
this channel has so great content im getting series 2 and 3 im very excited for this to have them in hand

I was also surprised how smooth they were out of the box. I was expecting series 1 stiffness to be honest… it was shocking for me too. Great video!
Awesome video bro! I just ordered a storm collectibles King from china, & bought an A.G.P. (Iron Grenadiers) vintage. Trick photography & army building 's all that I need...

I WAS EXTRA NERVOUS BUT NOW I'M TRYING , thanks ninja
picked up Trigger & Desert Rat, including three weapons packs. and they're extremely awesome to have part of the collection.
That promo for Valaverse was 🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate it, it takes alot of time and editing.
Really enjoyed the video! Got me looking at that Trigger w/backward hat lol. Thx for the great content!
So I think I heard the Reissues of Wave one will be made in the same factory as wave two and three. I hope so cause I do want to get Kerak and Bone Collecter
That would be dope 🔥
Hey I got Trigger and BBTS exclusive Night Ops Brigade. And wow those figs are quickly among my faves. You should consider the night ops fig to army build or make a unique character.
love your channel keep up the great work.
Good review as usual fam, keep up the quality.
I definitely need to pick those up, I'd love to do a sweet Alien setup with them or Predator, or whatever lol. Awesome video man
Thank you 🙏🔥🔥
I ordered a Predator to go with my Action Force, too! They're PERFECT!
Articulated Ninja thank you for your honesty and transparency. The production value in your video reviews are insane amigo! I wasn't sold on Valaverse figures until this review. G.i. Joe classified needs to step up it's game for real! The accessories on Valaverse is second to none at that price point. Once again thank you my friend for the
Hard work you do.👍🏼✌
I'm definitely all in when it comes to valaverse..I agree they are on the border of being better than classified but with that said they also compliment classified I just purchased 4 more delta troopers as army builders for the joes.
My dude ninja stay strong. 💪
I was nervous but now I’m trying !!!!
I recently got Action Force Series 1 Swarm Trooper with the Jet Pack upgrade. I did have to heat the hands, but otherwise I think it is an excellent figure.
There are other lines that take priority but I can see myself getting more of these figure. They're great, perfectly scaled, and blend in very well with Classified. So much so that you'd swear they were in the same line.
I mix Joe's and the little action force figures. I can't wait for more of both.
Vala wave 2 is on point. I bought Sgt Slaughter, Trigger and four Delra Troopers and all of the weapons packs. All have buttery smooth articulation. I've only had problems with removing hands on two of the Delta figs and Sgt. Slaughter. Other than that they're damn good.
I bought a headless Delta body on ebay to experiment with and put a Killmonger head on it like you did. Vala, Classified, Marvel Legends and Fort Nite all blend beautifully.
If you can check out Fort Nites Brutus Phantom figure. It comes with alot of good gear and is a decent figure itself.
Yo, keep up with the good videos. Good work. 👍
Thanks for the review. I manage to get some Action Force of series 1 that is still in my pile of loot. It's slow progress for me to play catch up in this line. The female wave is my top priority when they are available to purchase.
Just seen they’re working on a vehicle and it looks good. Haven’t purchased anything from this line yet, but I like what I see.
I jumped in on valaverse thru weapons packs to spice up my joes, sgt slaughter version 2 was my reaaaaal step forward into the line i love the bang for buck i got. Im looking forward to getting the night ops steel brigade 😤👍
okay so I agree wave to was a huge step forward, Kerak and Bone collector still stand as two of my favorites. and I was willing to let them sit in hot water a few times till they finally became normal and not tight. But series two was no hot water required. Also the new torso gear goes on and off easy where wave 1's was a challenge to get the pegs back in the hole. Well sadly Rollout still has that issue cause it's that damn vest. However I would say my number one favorite figure now is Trigger. LOL dude has a cap on back word and killer shade with a badass beard. I feel like if I ever read the comic or when the movie comes out this guy will be my favorite character. After him comes Kerak. You got to try and get Kerak somehow. Yeah Pandora will be up there. though I kinda wanna get a block trooper female and swap parts on Eclipse. I may get Switchback too. And I do want Kick Boxer girl (the celeb figure that's not out yet and I forgot her name. I think Bobby wants a real life person every wave. So wave three has one. Just her and the blue Guard (which I need 3 of those at least to make cobra girls. The only thing I do wish is that he made a female Swarm Trooper. I hope he does at some point. Even a female Scarab would be cool too.
Thanks i agree and yes i will check those guys out soon as well 🙏🔥
Yo I was nervous but now I'm trying, Honestly man thank you for changing My views on this line
The first figure I got from Action Force I though meh, but I got a couple of more and was impressed by the improvements in a short time.
Yea vala had been working hard to improve his figures quickly
Valverse gives me the chance to give the joes side army builders. I love the cobra troopers, but it's good to give the joes some cannon fodder too. And valverse gives u that option. I'm just so glad we have some options now. It makes .e wonder if the corps will step up their game.
Quickly becoming a huge fan of Action Force. marvel's d'spayre head looks great on my regular grey soldier with his helmet and gear.
That delta trooper is way better looking with the gear pack! Best troop builder in the line😊🤙🏼
YEA now I'm TRYING, thanks just placed a preorder threw BBTS
NOW IM TRYING, good stuff a.n.
Definitely not trash. My series 1 figures were statue's. My series 2 figures worked but had limited mobility. It looks like Action Force is moving in the right direction. I'm hoping that series 3 will finally be problem free.
ValaVerse wave 2 is amazing
I can’t wait for S3 to drop
Oh for the ladies go to dork and also get the desert commando exclusive, he looks super cool. Basically the green guy and armor pack, but the paint design is wicked.
I was so happy with the Scarab, I had to buy 4 more!!!
yeah valaverse showed out with these dudes...
Yo I tell you... This is one of only a few toy companys that really care about the people buying from them... And they also know what the customer wants!!!
Bro, you just did the same shit @Just JHernandez does to me all the time!!!...💰💰💰now I gotta cop the rest of this wave....💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Don't worry my wallet is hurting to lol 😂
Yessir! The improvements with plastic quality, joint movement and wearable accessories are exactly what this line needed to begin to reach it's full potential. I was able to get Series 2 figs as well and I too was blown away at the improvements. Add on the BBTS exclusive Night Ops Steel Brigade troops and it's like all of the sudden Valaverse has a huge assortment of awesome figures and characters. I made a video showing how I've been having a blast mixing and matching parts to create unique troops and characters, the possibilities are endless. I'll never not be a GI Joe Classified fan/collector, but I can not overstate how impressive the Valaverse stuff is right now, and for me it just gives me more options and versatility with my Classified universe. Anybody sleeping on these is missing out bigtime!
Facts anyone sleeping gonna have to wake up soon
Female Steel Brigade? That's pretty cool!
I pretty much all have every figure released so far and haven't had any problems with the figures. The troopers are good for army building.
Dude, why didn't I think of that before with the killmonger head?! Damn gina, now I know what I got to do.
😂 no worries take that sshhh make it better
Glad that Action Force Series 2 didn't give you trouble.
Thanks zilla
@@ArticulatedNinja You're welcome. Now to the female troopers that you are just chopping at the bit to get in hand badly.
My favourite of series 2 has to be Trigger. He has that Chris Kyle vibe, and if there ever was a Real American hero, it would be him.
Remember the movie Reign of Fire it will be a dope idea for an action figure using Trigger, just NY opinion lol wat's your thoughts?
I wasn't nervous I was deathly afraid of any QC issues 🤣 lol But you sold me on series 2 and 3
Dude I recently started to follow and so far I have seen a great deal of your videos and I like how you put your content together. I got the Special Ops Trooper and riot gear sets and I love them. You’re right when you say that they go with everything. Kinda regret not getting more to have my own special unit to fight Batman in my toy pics.
I honestly have to say if you haven't already picked up the Night Op's Steel Brigade BBTS wave 2 exclusive, Get On That Shit! I ordered it on a whim one night and when I got it in hand I immediately ordered 2 more. I'm Classified all the way and that Valaverse Steel Brigade figure fricken pops on the shelf next to the Joes! Because of that one figure I have now jumped on the band wagon and built a small army out of all the interchangeable troop builders and weapon/gear packs. I feel like I'm 12 again building them all up and posing them. lol
I've picked up all of the Valaverse Action Force... Having to heat them up was a hassle, but overall I'm pretty happy. Mileage may vary...
I Came Across Them Last From Darkside Toys. I Pick Up Two #1 Waves All Accessories #Factz 💯. Then Ordered Wave 2a And 2b. Now Waiting For Wave 3 And Them Extra Exclusive Bro.CAN YOU SAY HYPED Lol 😆
HHYPPPPPPPEEEEEE lol
My husband loves Valaverse and i can’t wait for the females in wave 3 wish they took custom orders for figures
I had no issues w series 1, maybe lucky. Trigger is my fav of series two. For a new company in their first year their killin it!
Ikr these are amazing 🤩
I got Trigger and was very satisfied. I bought one female series 3 to be a Wakanda soldier / allies with Killmonger.
Bro bro bro bro bro!
WHERE did you get that Michael B head and how well does it work with that figure???? Did you have to work hard to get it to fit and is it too tight or too loose?
Literally a marvel legends killmonger head and i think the fit was fine but just get a dremel n dremel around the hole to make it a lil bigger if neccessary u can always use blue putty or tack to fill the hole if its to big as well.
@@ArticulatedNinja thanks! That was already on my lists of pickups so that works out perfectly!
Series two is sweet plastic crack for us addicts.
Yea man
Series 2 is pretty on point. Kerak is cool as shit too although series 1, mine is SOLID.
So far they complient Joes soooo well.
Rollout
Trigger
And another Rollout for custom.
4 Garrison guards too.
Thinking on Desert Rat but just haven't decided.
Personally I had no issues with series 1 so this was a no brainier these guys kick ass.....Trigger is my fav.
Yes top 3 for me
Series 2 is far more superior. The green troopers are definitely my favorite.
Big facts ruben 🙏🔥🔥🔥
Action Force Series 2 is great, Trigger is my favorite with Delta Trooper 2nd favorite. Great improvement in the plastic and don't need to heat out of the box. The new vest that debuts in series 2 is a great design because it allows for the articulation underneath to still function unlike the series 1 vest. The vest are now fixed where you can it them on easier without having to do all sorts of nonsense to get them all like in series 1 which was my biggest issue. I bought all of series 1 and while I liked them I was also frustrated by the issues they had. Series 2 corrects almost all of those issues. My only hope is that the line moves more toward the realistic modern military even more. I would love to get some SAS commandos, Navy Seals, Army Delta Force, and Russian Spetsnaz inspired figures. I would love for Valaverse to somehow get the Call of Duty license because I know Vala would do those characters justice and produce amazing figures.
I stop buying classified to buy valaverse action figures
As soon as I saw the pre-orders go up for wave 3, I was on it. We need more bad ass looking female figures and I'm hoping Valaverse can deliver.
I hope they will as well not to many people brave enough to do what vala is trying to do
I ordered mine.
