I was able to order 2 of the former Dorksidetoys exclusive Commandos Swarm sentry Swarm trooper Blowback & Steel Brigade reissue figures. I'll be happy once wave 3s available for ordering
I have totally fallen in love with this line. I have to stop myself at 2 with all the variants of the troop builders, but it's soooo hard! I just don't have the space to create 4 man fire teams of all the different variants. Its so much fun assembling each of the soldiers with the different kits I feel like a kid again while doing it. My youngest son (10) has taken a hard interest in theses figures now while watching me over this past year kitting out the troops. For Christmas this year he got a Swarm sentry, Trooper and Scarab form Santa and he was over the moon. It was like reliving those Christmases back in the 80's when I was a kid getting those GI Joes. He used some of his hard earned allowance and Christmas money, and we placed and order after the first of the year for his first Steel Brigade figures. I think Mr Vala may have a new Action Force fan for life!
The quality of Valaverse figures is staggeringly good! The sculpting and paint are great, and the quality of the plastic is really fantastic! During the covid pandemic, a lot of figures arrived at my house. To complicate matters, my friend from Canada was planning a visit, so he began sending figures that he'd pre-ordered to my address. My Valaverse figures arrived, and I was loving life, but when my friend finally visited me, we discovered that his Valaverse order had never arrived. Since we had ordered the exact same figures, and both orders were going to my address, I surmised that someone at Valaverse must have thought that somehow it was an accidental duplicate order, and cancelled one. That's pure speculation on my part, but my order had the additional weapons pack that his didn't, so I concluded that my order arrived, but his was a no-show. Now by the time I realized that he hadn't received his order, it was a full 10 months after it was supposed to have shipped! I contacted Valaverse about it, and waited to find out if they would send out my friends order again. We had the placed order record, but considering how long it was before we had alerted Valaverse, I didn't know if Valaverse was going to send out another set for my friend or not. I mean, there was proof that he'd ordered it, but he didn't get it, and I didn't realize he hadn't, because I was having a hard enough time keeping up with my own action pre-orders. After contacting Valaverse, and emailing with someone there, they sent out my friends figures again. I don't know what happened to my friend's original order, but Valaverse stood by their customer! They must have been a bit skeptical, Tony, considering how much time passed before I gave notice of the situation, but in the end, they fulfilled my friends purchase, proving that they are an honorable company who gives a damn. I truly appreciated that, and my friend said that it was worth the wait! Of course it was. Valaverse figures are worth the wait every time! I'm a huge fan of Bobby's products!
That Datsun tie in is so sweet! I had an early 300 Z that was so much fun! Now I’ve got to do one in 6 inch scale for desert rat to cruise the boulevard. So much cooler than a Cadillac convertible.
I still need to get a Desert Rat figure. Maybe 2 on the off chance I run into you in the States on a UFC night. Great video! Loving all the skits you’ve been incorporating!
I've got a few of these to open when I return from holiday. Looking forward to that. The Delta Troopers were awesome and hard to top for a basic Trooper but the Infantary Commando managed to do that. I was going to skip the Steel Brigade weapons pack as I didn't find it appealing but after seeing a few reviews I'm turning around on it. Thinking of having another Steel Brigade kitted out to add some variety so the team can be set with some specialists like on the Ghost Recon games.
Man ValaAF is killing it. I just got my first fig the other day and I really want more. They are putting out stuff that can compare to mezco and a third the price. I will have more ASAP
Great video as usual. Such a great line, that is not only setting the bar, but is positively moving the bar for military 1/12 scale with each wave. So much customization ability I created my own figure.
Not saying I did the same thing staring at my SWARM Sentry, but I mean, it could have happened. I may have had the "Goldfinger" theme playing in my head when I first opened it. Need a Valaverse Black Gold Datsun car now. Top/Middle/Bottom and all!
Enjoyed the video Tony. I never cared for the original Swarm figure but this new Black/Gold version is nice, will add it to all the other AF figures in my collection.
Glad to own 2 Steel Brigades (Series 1) so I can outfit one of them with the heavy weapons gear pack. After that I'll buy the Steel Brigade Revised version so I can have a commander for a specialist team of Steel Brigades.
I think I missed out on the Infantry Commando figure. It's listed as sold out and not just out of stock. As much as I like this line, I fee like buying them has bee a mess. Has anyone put together a check list of the figures and where to get like the exclusives?
This has been the easiest modern line to collect. Every single figure (aside from 3 exclusives) has been available to purchase directly from Valaverse. You just sound salty that you missed the boat in the beginning and bitching about it my comments section is not welcome.
@@AnalogToys Rude. I have everything thus far available outside of anything produced through kickstarter and the infantry commando (as far as a know) since I didn't know where to get it because there was no east checklist to go off of (which should be available on their site), but had to figure out where to get what when their site didn't have stuff available. Sorry not all of us have a large amount of funds to toss at action figure collecting and the time to just be able to be right there the first time they go up for sale. But if you as a face for this line are going to treat fellow collectors like this who are specifically asking about a checklist to help people find where to get figures especially exclusives then I certainly question why I sub to you (easily remedied) and if I should bother with this line. Not that it matters if one lowly supporter stops supporting it.
This series looks Incredibly Awesome. I got my Swarm Trooper and could not be happier. What a great figure. Still playing catch up with the line but hopefully I will get there.
I missed out on this whole wave of figures. I wasn't collecting action force at the time. But I have all of series 5 and most of series 4. I'm just waiting on the resolved Siege figure. Hopefully back in stock soon
They also re-released the wave one Riot Trooper. I picked him up along with the Spec OPs and his gear. All in all, I have 6 troopers, all with different paint apps and armor/weapon combos. I also got the Crimson Shadow Tin...which is an endless arrays of weapons. They are completely kicking Hasbro's butt in terms of 6-inch military figures! I have two of the female troopers on pre-order and they were supposed to come out in December, but I am guessing....Feb?
@@AnalogToys cool I looked forward to a possible review of it since you're my favorite toy reviewer and are the only one i have notifications on for. Love your videos have a good one mate
The only Valaverse fig I have so far is Sgt. Slaughter V2, and aside from a couple of hiccups (Hat and glasses falling off mostly), he not only works as a Sarge for my Joes but the alternate vest and hat went straight to my Gung Ho for that classic look. I do plan on adding Desert Rat to my collection soon I have to agree Action Force is worth the money with all the accessories and articulation in every figure. Bobby knows what fans want clearly, and I'll happily fly the flag for Valaverse for years to come.
These figs are beautiful, between Warhammer and MtG I just can't justify buying them. That being said, I hope Blowback does not garner any Blowback from the autistic community as the puzzle piece is seen as an offensive symbol due to it connection with Autism Speaks.
Gotdammit, there are so many “quotably great” moments in this video! You have honed your craft to a razor’s edge-& just keep getting better. But, BRO! When you said, “The Action Force Ladies are ‘coming’ (sp?💀) VERY soon,” I literally shot coffee out of my mouth. I am STILL laughing like an idiot. I wish you & I coulda shared a beer or ten when we were young service members-Hell, I probably thought a LOT of ladies WERE coming soon when my buddies & I would hit some dive at some port on the other side of the world… Great content & video as always, Brother…
Now that's how you do a variety of characters, including ones with special needs or features!
I hoping we get some SEAL team members sometime next year
I’m an Army Builder Tony, and I’m loving the Infantry Commando!
I was able to order 2 of the former Dorksidetoys exclusive Commandos Swarm sentry Swarm trooper Blowback & Steel Brigade reissue figures. I'll be happy once wave 3s available for ordering
Great background music from the film “The Final Option “ (Who Dares Wins).
Excellent video as always Tony, I can't wait for my Pandora, Cheers!

The infantry commando is so sweet! Army build? Yes please!!
Unfortunately, the website limits purchases to two per customer. 🪖 🪖
This video is AFAF
I love how you cam mix and match these figures! Made with unique display in mind.

Action Force FOREVER!
Black & Gold Baby !!!! Great review Desert Rat.
Can’t wait !!!!
Got my first action force fig today! Trigger! Fantastic!! Can’t wait til I can get more!

It's time for Action! Valaverse is just killin it!!! Happy new year Tony.
I just bought my first Valaverse figure: the re-released Swarm trooper and gear pack. Really looking forward to checking him out.
I still need to get a Desert Rat figure. Maybe 2 on the off chance I run into you in the States on a UFC night. Great video! Loving all the skits you’ve been incorporating!
Outstanding
Love that Desert Rat custom Commando, Tony! Really enjoy all your videos looking at the various series in this amazing line of figures.
Nice video, cheers. Looking forward to mine arriving.
Awesome video!

I got them just to use on Delta. The helmets are exact same shade of green.
Yeah the Blowback fig is top notch and that Steel Brigade set is kitting out my whole squad.
Man ValaAF is killing it. I just got my first fig the other day and I really want more. They are putting out stuff that can compare to mezco and a third the price. I will have more ASAP
Fantastic

Another cool wave and another cool review video.
Thanks my friend!
Love what you do Tony! Hope you had a great Christmas! Happy New Year from Melbourne! Cheers 🥂
