For monster force, some renders it was hard to see the thigh swivel, it was there. Thanks for the shot out, I think it was actually someone responding to me who zoomed in. I dig them, am a bit jealous honestly, but do wish the mid torso was a ball, not ml style crunch.
Spot on, the concern by Bobby on production factories for action figures other than China. It’s not impossible of course but there’s always going to be a learning curve, management of the workers to create the minimal quality.
Another great show! Also, I am super pumped for Monster Force as well. Having said that, I do wish Dracula came with some more fun accessories like a goblet of blood, some bats or a removed heart or something as he feels a little light when compared to the 20+ accessories a lot of the other figures come with and I do wish he had some light armor plating on him to spruce him up/modernize him as with when compared to Helsing. The Forgotten King looks cool and those troopers are absolutely incredible, love the whole paramilitary meets Wolfenstein meets Red Shadows vibe, it just works. I will definitely be pairing some of these baddies against my AF figures as the line is (so far) is a little light on villains/bad guys, for me anyway. The MF paint masters they showed at Designer Con looked phenomenal, very high level of paint apps are really making those sculpts shine, so I hope the final product has that much paint on it. Bottom line is, I haven’t felt so jazzed about an independent toy line since backing Bobby’s Kickstarter so I really hope BBTS/FMF can deliver on Monster Force like Bobby has with AF. Also really looking forward to the RoboSkull and Red Shadows figures from the Skeletron guys. Crazy how Action Force/Red Shadows has been dormant for so long and now there’s multiple companies doing new stuff with the brand(s) respectively. I for one am totally along for the ride 🤘🏻
Bobby, do we line up on ballistic eyewear for AF? I’m looking at the load out and that’s the only piece of PPE that I don’t see represented. And that’s not just in AF, that’s across the board in the 1:12 scale. I can find them in 1:6 scale easily. The few instances where eyewear is available they are a far shot from say, an Oakley Razor, Wiley-X, Milspec style eye pro. I’ve been bugging Ryan about this, and was supposed to bring it up during the live.
The monster force alt head on the grey and black German soldier looking guys come with a perfect red shadow head, so with a paint job and a head swop on the red guy it would make for a great red shadow
@@3POAPodcast I bought into the first wave, They look good but I can’t break it down like you guys do. Was thinking about another Vespez (hornet) but like you said; they are expensive. So I wanna see what the first wave looks like. I understand they’ll be bugs to fix. But still would like your input on at least the video that EVS put out on them a while ago
You can always use digital renders and box art illustrations- BUT - with a window box to see the figure. Not just digital renders and illustrations on a blind box.
That foot touching the butt thing was something I believe started by Glen Webb and continued in the form of ‘kick his own ass’ from Shartimus. That’s the weirdest metric for basing good articulation on. Most people can’t kick their own ass. Who cares?!
No, I don't know where Tony was coming from. My comment was about the leg proportions being off on that leg sculpt. When you bend your legs, the bottom of the feet should line up with the top of the thigh. lower leg + foot = entire length of the upper leg. it's why the upper leg looks so short when the leg is bent. Also, don't fully bend that particular leg sculpt the way Tony did, you'll chew the shit out of the plastic behind the upper and lower legs. The knee also looks way too large when the leg bends like it's an entire third segment of the leg. It's why I feel the knees should be designed better.
It seems like all the recent posts on Reddit re: Dorkside Toys going out of business is a copypasta by one dude on one account with a grievance. FWIW, a PayPal account can be auto-flagged for suspension by just changing the address and/or phone number, and that doesn't signal a merchant is going out of business, nor does adding "All Sales are Final" to their website. Now it may all turn out to be true, but all the complaints I'm seeing about Dorkside's customer service, billing and fulfillment have all happened to me with BBTS, EE, Amazon, Target and Walmart over the past year. I received my Infantry Commando promptly and without issues, along with the other 8 purchases I've made from them this year. Rest assured, if that changes everyone will hear about it.
Is that what happened with Army Alphas?! Every now and then I think about those and wonder what happened. Good to know. They looked promising. I got sucked into a Kickstarter for a set of Articulated skeletons. I jumped on it because at the time I had just recently missed out on the Articulated Icons Feudal Ninja series and those blew tf up so I didn’t want to miss out. I got in early. Needless to say that dude ghosted like Patrick Swayze. It’s been y e a r s and they eventually stopped with the illusion the product was going to come. That once bitten twice shy hesitancy is what kept me away from Valaverse initially.
Oh wow! It was the same guy?! I mean, you can finger wag and say shame on me, but I was today years old when I found out it was the same dude. Now it makes sense.
Great episode, I finally picked up a Bratz car during the Black Friday sales and i'll post it tomorrow on ig. Really dig some of the Operation Monster Force figure designs such as Dracula.
Sorry, I'm so bad about commenting as I'm watching but.... these FMF Monster Force guys have all the parts necessary to make Red Shadows guys, and I think Fresh Monkey Fiction has that license!
Tom Selleck, Sam Elliot and Don Frye all pulled off the mustaches fabulously and I’d say no one else can or should. But Bobby, you have a figure with the guy fox, a fancy goatee that has a lot of focus on a fancy mustache.
Finally finishing the replay here after life took the live from me..i got my SDS and ex from dorkside with no problems so well see..the kickstarter discussion was great..how Bobby does it now with having all the tooling done and stuff is perfection in my book..4h and mythic legions are my number q but even I wish theyd switch to what bobby is doing so theres no more near 2 year waits for some waves..well see..as always great show guys
Late but I hope you guys keep up on 3rd party action figure news savage crucible looks good haven't seen your video yet but upcoming trying to break away from in box collecting and these figures are the way I hope to go tired of the big machine of toy manufacturers
That rocket launcher from commando actually existed. The US army developed it to replace the flame thrower. The rockets where incendiary. It never went anywhere thpugh. I don't remember exactly why so I won't say but I believe forgotten weapons on UA-cam did a vid on it.
God I want to see Bobby do so many licenses that could be so good. Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, and brigador could be incredible lines for him. Warhammer would have him competing with Mcfarlanes 40k line but the AOS stuff could be just as modular as action force if not more so. As for Brigador that would be great for him to do a vehicle line with mechs and weapons ranging from 8ish inches tall at the smallest to upwards of 40 for the largest mechs, tanks, antigravity tanks, and cars. If nothing else they could be used as set dressing for Action Force.
The charger is still too much. They should cut way down on some of the detail like the engine and reduce the parts count. After all people get vehicles to display figures not figures to display vehicles. Look at all the 3 3/4 starwars and joe vehicles. They had detail where it counted and that's it. They also saved costs by giving the kids some fun by applying decals and assembling some of the vehicle. they should be shooting for a car that looks great on the outside with a basic interior, part of the body mold, on the inside to get the cost down. If I was a car collector and wanted a cool 1/12 scale charger then these guys are going in the right direction. But people just want a cool vehicle to hold their figs and go vroom vroom. It's needs to be playetic, affordable, hold figs properly, durable, and then get your detail in. The engine bay should just be one piece of molded plastic with maybe a painted engine; skipthe light up features, it's fun for 2 minutes then most people NEVER use it again; there's Way to much detail on the guages they should be stickers and then maybe clear plastic coverings if you got the budget; those wheels should just be one piece of plastic that has painted hubs you, maybe use rubber tires if you have the budget but most people will be happy with just rolling wheels, and finally the battle mod should be std. Action figure guys are buying this not car guys. If anything a more detailed engine and then some interior detail should be the 5000 unit goal not the mini gun. And their goal should be 100 bucks. A hundred dollar vehicle that holds 4 figs will have people lining up. Yeah their Kickstarting but in this economy people are looking for value. I don't see that here.
How about that Action Force: Redux comic they have on kick starter… and the Bandito isn’t cutting it with those skinny tires on the back as well as looking a little lite on features.
The stuff I'm mainly excited for next year are the 4" and 6" Fresh Monkey Fiction Monster Force and LongBox Heroes (Tick and The Goon), and the 4" Judge Dredd figures coming from Hiya Toys. Plus next year is the year we get the Roboskull Mk II from Skeletron.
This stream was great .. I’m all in on Monster Force .. I always think Tony is bored or tired but after his found Conan ending he is just thinking on how to improve the show and how to torture Laser Bratz Pants. BV’s face with some of those indie toy companies goodness no poker face this stream.
Go get the metal gear franchise bobby. That would be absolutely insane. Or your own version of a western type of read dead line. The possibilities are crazy. Horses and various carriages, could have natives, banditos, railroad stuff, cow girls, bar scenes, gambling, boats, banks, canoes. If i had the money to make that.
BORING FORCE! With 'Thunderbolt' Ross, Amanda Waller, and Colonel Klink. Coming soon:: Mighty Spector. 'Back them and get Fisted.' 'He doesn't like it because the foot doesn't touch the butt?' 'Come back, Bobby!' No more holidays, dammit! I'm missing too much. Brilliant as always, all three of you! PS - DESERT RAT IS IN THE HOUSE! Can't believe it got here so quickly. Do like Bobby says, and order straight from him.
I have a question for Mr. Vala, Trigger is an amazing figure. And Outback is my favorite Gi joe. So,since the Gi joe TF Outback is an older man. In my word Outback is Triggers dad. I wonder what mr. Vala would think of this. Thinks
Has anyone did a custom Indiana Jones an the last crusade sean Connery 12" out of a ob1 12" figure? Love c it on a action man moter cycle with side car an the 12" kenner Indiana Jones
A pistols and holsters pack would be amazing, I’m absolutely sick of the Maxim 9 almost every figure comes with. Good grief, I snort laughed at Ryan fisting himself with a Bratz car on only fans.

I got my wires crossed. But I’m glad they have thigh swivel, and, like you, I’d prefer the mud torso have a ball joint.

Thank you Wesley 😁

@@3POAPodcast not at all.
No apologies needed.
It’s good conversation discussing the latest in the industry, new ideas and creations.
Put that Dracula with Morlun, Morbius and a few Hellfire Club figures with vampire heads and you could have a cool cabal of bloodsuckers.
That would look cool

I have detolfs with led strip lighting. Bobby’s is glass.

Mythic Legions is more high fantasy like Dungeons and Dragons or Lord of the Rings. Savage Crucible feels more low fantasy, like Conan the barbarian.
