So far every new figure I pick up is my new favorite…I opened desert condor, he was great! Then urban commando and desert steel brigade. They are so detailed and display so good. Then the arctic trooper in his gear! I picked up Warpath on eclipse day and got a free weapon pack! Keep up the great line, Bobby. Hope to see you in Timonium.
Being one of those that are new to Valaverse I really appreciate the re-releasing of figures as the secondary market (which I have picked up a few on) is crazy expensive. To be honest I initially thought the glow in the dark was going to be a lame gimmick but after getting one had to pick up another and love them. Personally, I consider myself a customer and not a consumer. Consumers swallow any old garbage shoved in their mouths and customers discern the best use of their money and time, imo.
The Glow in the dark Swarm Tracer is a great figure! I too wasn't sure how strong or how much it would glow, but it is fantastic and bright! One of Valaverse most impressive figures and one of my favorites.
I bought the whole line in January, even got everyone signed by Sarge, Bobby, Timmy, Desert Rat….. all so accommodating and great representatives of the brand. Now unfortunately I find myself defending the brand against the ignorant. It’s nice having an adult brand such as this, and he really listens to his fans. Bobby you’re killing it! Keep expanding on the lore and we will be those to support! The genuineness you have showed us gets me in the front line to fight the joe bros for this brand. 🫡 💪🏻
You should definitely “Green light” (see what I did there?) a Glow In The Dark Steel Brigade that you mentioned causally as an idea at a comic con Bobby, I think that would be amazing
The Deluxe Blowback was my favorite figure from series 4! It not only doubles as a great version of Blowback, but also as camo troops. I just bought 3 more of him. Please give us more of Blowback!
Bobby I wanted to say thanks for the Eclipse sale and free gift. I ordered just after midnight on the 8th and my order arrived yesterday lunchtime. Warpath Eclipse is very impressive in person as is the deluxe Urban Commando! He looks to be my new favorite and he and Warpath Eclipse are going to have to share the Grey Vanguard when it arrives from Valaverse Motors. Desert Condor is my first Condor version and also very impressive. I think your wave 4 is really top shelf and the new packaging is simple and clearly shows the products in a bold, clean way. I'm concentrating on Action Force more this year and you don't disappoint!
Loved series 4 Bobby , cannot wait for series 5. You don't imo get enough recognition that you reduced prices while everyone else raised them including the recent free shipping on the Vanguard even though as a overseas customer I didn't benefit I still think it was a very generous move you didn't have to make. I 'm really digging all the videos you are doing & hope we get one after DFW show that showcases the year & more ahead .
The Urban Commando and other re-issues are great. It's awesome to be able to get the earlier figures that we missed out on. The Urban Commando is a great army builder, too.
I was thinking today I’d love some battle damaged versions of characters- maybe battle damaged versions of future army builders so that the collector can have a regular release and a battle damaged version as a variant
These are great to see figures but also insights into the company. There was a Toy fair in Shenzhen this week but I wasn’t available to go this year. I went last year and it was amazing to see how toy companies promote and manufacture. These videos are very interesting. (Sadly not seen Action Force in this part of China, they are in Hong Kong though).
glad i got 3 swarm horde unfortunately i am unable to travel far due to health reasons right now but glad i got my warpath eclipse and swarm hordes hope fully ill be able to get the 100 th exclusive we will see if im able to travel then
More artic squad yes,huge fan but new fan missed out on the oldies but want them all. But hmmm atric trigger or des rat oh man can't wait to see what comes our way.
Series 4 Favorite? Swarm Tracer, hands down...so how about a Scarab Upgrade Pack? Please? So I'm guessing that the Crimson Shadow Technologies Praetorian is NOT the 100th item, since it's already been unveiled? And that's not a suit of armor, is it? Would I be wrong that an overall influence for the look of the Swarm is the Atari game Yar's Revenge?
Favorite is a toss up between Glow Swarm and Deluxe BB . Thanks for the Eclipse sale . I saved 17 dollars , and was able to pick up my 3rd weapons tin , too . Please , more large weapons packs ... 🎉
Love the new packaging. I got Desert Condor and Desert Steel Brigade. More desert variants please. I would totally buy a Desert Rollout, Desert Eclipse, and female Desert Steel Brigade if you did them. Where can I find info about the con in June? Like tickets and such?
The Arctic Trooper figure is really COOL! Literally! This figure will power your freezer and your ice cream won't melt! (The warm weather lately must be getting to me.)
Bobby, I need you to reissue Kerak, Trigger, and Garrison figures please! I am really kicking myself for not ordering the early figures when I had the chance. I have a two Vanguards ordered, one in each flavor. I have 4 figures now and I want them all!
Nah! You snooze, you lose! 😂🤣😂 But for real, they pop up from time to time. I missed out on Bone Collector at 1st, but then he popped up at BBTS months later. Just keep your eyes open. #GoodHunting
@@bodydoublesecurity4987 He is really awesome. I’m loving the Serj Tankian look a like sculpt. I can just imagine his character in the original show. He would be best buds with Roadblock. Always rhyming together and finishing each others rhymes.
Yes Valaverse figures are cheaper than the competition of who's name I won't mention and the prices are justified considering the accessories and quality offered. With that being said, I don't mind paying the extra greenbacks
Series 4 Swarm Tracer brought me back into collecting Action Force figures again. The glow in the dark aesthetic makes it stand out from the rest of my figures and I felt they really improved on the plastic quality, now I don't have to give them a hot bath anymore lol.
I only have a few of the first wave figures but I did get a Vanguard and missile pack pre ordered. A Arctic Vanguard in the future might be cool? Or a snowmobile?
@@Valaverse next month will be the Crimson Shadow tin.. been wanting it since it's release but the wife was going through breast cancer treatments so couldn't but she's doing better now and back at work
Ik this is gonna sound dumb, but here me out: a Valaverse Selfie series as like male and female steel brigade and maybe swarm, the problem with hasbro was the cheap ass plastic and insane price, a reasonably priced and decent quality would be THE coolest thing
I love my Swarm Horde figure! Haven’t picked up the Swarm Tracer yet, but no doubt I will! When are the Vanguards shipping? I gotta have mine now!! Also really pissed that I missed Kill Switch!! Maybe a re-release?!💚AFAF‼️
Not sure what type of Action Figure Wizardry you use, but every new addition to the Swarm seems to top the previous. Case in point: Swarm Horde instantly became "my fav baddie", but then Swarm Tracer took that mantle as soon as it arrived. Keep it up! Cool and compelling "baddie" keeps everything going!
Are you going to be selling in stores anytime soon and if you did would it hurt your sales? I've recently seen Hasbro and Neca 6 inch figures on clearance at Walmart for 12 dollars and less. A Goliath was on clearance for 7.99. just to give you an example.
Series 4 as a whole was excellent. Always down for more Swarm and Steel Brigade. Head pack was absolutely brilliant, other companies should take notes lol. Hope we get another in series 5.
To be fair for repaints I would hope so... then we look at "deluxe" Blowback not worth the price tag. The Swarm has more value though. Hope the next series get back on track!
@@TheHairyGorillaI'm thinking they may have meant the first real criticism for this wave and not the entire line. With all of the reviews out there for each series, there's no way they haven't heard any criticism at all for the entire line.
@@bulkhungry Fanboys are all the same be it for Vala or the tank... Soon as your critical of the hiveminds little plastic dolly or box... Just so you know Bobby listens to criticism... Why else would their be changed to wave 2... why would troopers now come with a gun... Lines will never get better with people like you...
Winter is coming! Fire and Ice (Desert and Arctic) It looks like someone is a fan of Game of Throness. We need a Gregor Clagane sized figure in Action Force, or one of the enemy factions! (Of course is depends on what Mr. Vala is thinking. He's already making cool stuff.)(Maybe we're getting a hind of what's to come?)
How do you feel about comics/collector stores doing price increases on your new product? I see your waves drop at certain stores for 45 to 60 a figure?
Cool. How about your online store start calculating some international taxation rates so we don't get hit with import brokerage fees on top of the tax anyways? How about offering slower shipping methods since you cant guarantee tracking on the fast ones anyways; save your customers some money. I'm in Canada. Buying Valaverse shouldn't be punishment but that's how it feels. Makes it difficult to get into the line and support it.
@valaverse do new villains no more swarms for God sake but more down to Earth types, like Somalia Pirates, Middle East terrorist , a stealth Dingy boat and new Trigger figure please and thank you
@saultricoche6918 That's what I was thinking as well. One of the things that I liked with the old 80's Palitoy ACTION FORCE is the different squads both from the good guys as well as the bad guys. Bobby should do various military operatives from around the globe to highlight the diversity of the line not just the SWARM and various troop builders. Since Condor and Desert Rat came from UK and are SAS why not create military operatives from Norway or a former Spetznaz/ KGB agent. Something along those lines.
Who's ready for Series 5? What was your favorite from Series 4?
The variations of steel brigade hands down. Loving every variant
I like the snow units, more than I first though but my preferred is the urban operative.
So far every new figure I pick up is my new favorite…I opened desert condor, he was great! Then urban commando and desert steel brigade. They are so detailed and display so good. Then the arctic trooper in his gear! I picked up Warpath on eclipse day and got a free weapon pack! Keep up the great line, Bobby. Hope to see you in Timonium.
@Valaverse always ready and looking forward to future releases. 🤩
Series 4 was awesome can't really pick a favourite. Counting down the days for series 5 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Deluxe Blowback 1st Valaverse figure I owned is amazing!!
Bought w the helmet pack!!
Wld love to see airforce figs, naval figs
Love ur weapons!!

The Swarm look so good in Red and Black! The glow in the dark ones are killer. I cant wait for a Swarm head gear pack
Your whole toy line incredible bro
The Urban Commando and other re-issues are great.
It's awesome to be able to get the earlier figures that we missed out on.
The Urban Commando is a great army builder, too.
All series is my favorite
When are we going to see more news/details on the Crimson Shadow Praetorian figure?? I'm budgeting heavy for that one to be added to the collection!
Soon
