Valaverse Action Force Vanguard - FIRST IN HAND REVIEW!!!

[@AnalogToys]

Which colour Vanguard did you order? Desert Tan, Stealth Grey or both?

[@thomashorneman563]

Stealth grey! Works best with all worlds super heros to dinosaurs my son is going to love this

[@KensToys74]

Two of each..... I'm going to have to purchase a small house just for my collection...😅😂

[@jimmypurvis]

Two of each also.

[@mattk4279]

I preordered Stealth Gray, and just today ordered a muddy Tan one!

[@AnalogToys]

Jealous! I'm gonna have to order a muddy tan one too!!!

[@trustarscreamer]

the lack of up/down on the anti-aircraft guns is a real let down. Just a major oversight. Also there is something...off on the Reaper. I think it is the puffy arms with the tight shoulders. The missile launcher is cash money though.

[@JurassicRod]

I'd love a non weapon accessory pack with water canteens, jerry cans, radios, tools etc.

[@AnalogToys]

Me too!

[@mikerea4961]

What does the engine look like on that monster?

[@brunocolin960]

There is no engine lol. The Vanguard is literally just a hollow piece of plastic.

[@RichardGowallis]

Thanks again for a great review-I just ordered one-thanks again

[@Zakainen]

I remember watching that live when you cleared out a space for the Vanguard. Just awesome.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Tony, This is a first rate overview of the Vanguard and just continues to push the excitement of Action Force fans even higher. I absolutely see your feedback on things like the MG placement and the neck articulation. I can't wait to give my thoughts on mine once it arrives this month! Great seeing new content under the Action Force banner! Straight banger!!

[@TroyPacelli]

The Vanguard is cool, but your photography on this vid is absolutely spot on, Tony. Amazing. I absolutely appreciate the on-location extra=effort.

[@Northycollects]

Disappointed that the turret can’t aim up or down, but looks awesome. Need to see the grey so I can decide which one to get

[@JohnMorris.77]

Great video as always! I appreciate how you always give an honest, unbiased opinion. I remember watching on the live stream when you swiped those legends off the shelf. Still the most BOSS move to this day! Legendary!

[@edsoneduardozardetti9622]

Desert Rat gets his own ride! Sweet!

[@gesticulato]

[@cerethpainting6606]

Only right that Desert Rat gets the first review!

[@nikoskaskarelis8797]

An excellent review as always. Congratulations to Valaverse. I hope one day we Europeans will have the chance to buy Valaverse products from a domestic retailer.

[@thetitan914]

Was watching that stream when you clotheslined your Marvel Legends figures to make space,which was hysterical. Vanguard looks awesome, can hardly wait for mine.

[@ScumOfTheEarthRollerDerby]

I can't wait to see if these work well with my Captain power and the soldiers of the future action figures

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

Nice overview of the Vanguard. I will receive mine on Monday and will be excited to unbox them.

[@AFAFsamedwards]

These are dope. Can’t wait to get home from Phish tour to order mine.

[@derektorres6260]

I ordered one of each and I’m anxiously awaiting them.

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

good review video bro yeah, it looks good, too bad for the gun s vertical position, we can t shoot down the rattler with that, any mod possible bro? I got my stinger 2 days ago, I love it on my bar street dio, I have to get on the sidewalk a bit to fit better I wanted to see the driver next to it, and it was a bit short I put a wrestler girl at the back, hang in by grabbing some missiles, ha, ha yeah, it s funny. I think I d go with tan as well, bummer that we have to pay for a driver... and he does nt look special in any way, thanks for head swaps, he s good for parts. yeah, it looks good, but the humvee looks better, and is rc no driver in Can $, it s about $250 vs $800? both are real vehicles.... I d really want to see Hawk in an olive green humvee... Destro s ig troops are killing my finances 20x $45... just picked the stinger $155, 2x s serpents, need 2x eels and 10 reg troopers it ll have to be in 2025 or if I get my settlement 1 rst [money - house] ahh, then, I ll get all I want, and have a room for the hobby, as I always dreamed of ok, it was lead soldiers on a war dio as a kid, but 6' is so much better and I already have 4 dios done and one coming [Destro] the Ramen van is on my list for sure though, no matter what... ha, ha, the tossing on impulse is as funny as your bombs bro, you KNOW your public you rascal, ha, ha! you have sweet charm man, born to do this, a good guy. so now you know... God bless America and world peace! good show bro

[@MaximumWarp2099]

Only 5 action points?! For nearly $200?

[@timothyward8695]

No, the $185 is for the Vanguard...

[@MaximumWarp2099]

@@timothyward8695 You know what I mean.

[@robertsinfiniterealms1308]

Great video, I hope you know I am gonna try that tip thing with the doors open to see how far it will go, Just saying. LOL. Thanks for the comprehensive look at this monumental vehicle.

[@arctrooper999]

Oh snap! A new Micronauts Hornetoid is on the way??? Just kidding, I've always loved the look and colors of The Swarm troopers.

[@pastorrickleebishopsr4265]

Enjoyed the video .. God bless brother.

[@blammers]

What’s the wheelbase on this? I’m tempted to get one to modify into a body for an RC crawler.

[@impossiblepie]

I also was wondering how the figures would stay seated in the Vanguard, thanks for the info Tony, great vehicle Bobby congrats on all your success with the action force toy line. Lastly great video and review Tony.

[@pittviscous]

Yes Micronauts Hornetroid was my favorite that looks stellar 🤘ordered my Muddy Desert Tan Vanguard today 🤯

[@loganholmberg2295]

You know Tony you are the only reviewer that attempted to show the vehicle full of figures that Ive seen? Man alllot of toy KZbinrs suck. The one thing I really want to see is the vehicle full of figures. Its one of the huge things its got over the vamp. How could they not cover that? Everyon is getting hung up over the articulation of the machine gun. And yeah that's a problem. But what did you buy a vanguard for if to not fill it full of figs and have some fun with it? Am I in the minority in that I want all my figs to be part of some kind of mini dioramas centered around vehicles or small playsets? Everyone seems to want just display there figs like there in a police line up. Its so fucking boring just like most toy tubers. Unlike you, Michel, nija and some others who try to do things to standout and to try and cover everything about the toy. Not here's the box, here's it out of the box, pose it a few times and so busty to get the video out quick they skip or miss things I want to know about. Like how docs stretcher is a piece of garbage. Its ,ade for a smaller scale and you got to glue it to have 3 figures use it.

[@citadelli]

It’s not over priced, but I wish I could afford it. Times is tuff. I missed out on preorder special for the missile launcher but I hope I can get it in the future.

[@kba702]

But Tow-Knee, you didn't say if it came with a top, a bottom, and a middle! Seriously though, a great review of a great looking toy. And that cow catcher add on is going to make me buy one.

[@MrSmokincodz]

Love your channel, man. I was big on Gi Joe as a kid in the earl 90s; had the GI joe General for christmas one year. Cheers from Minnesota USA

[@TheRealGrievance]

stoked ordered 1 of each of the muddy versions

[@JurassicRod]

I'm really not a fan of double jointed necks. I never find they add much and can often either make the neck look too long or are awkward to get the adams apple facing forward so make the neck look odd. Not sure why so many fans wanted it.

[@VConley]

This video was definitely worth the wait! I can’t wait for both of mine to come in this week!

[@brianking581]

I pre-ordered the Desert Tan. I still need to get a Desert Condor & two more Desert Steel Brigade. The Stealth Grey will have to come later for me. Tony did you order the Cobra Stinger too. It's a good time to be a AF & Joe fan.

[@davidwood8044]

There are 2 holes the gun can mount into. The height is much lower. Not sure if it was planned that way or a happy accident.

[@diggdirkler9445]

The vamp also seems to serve a different purpose than the vanguard

[@AnalogToys]

Absolutely

[@zombiesmith5735]

Nah. I’d probably use every single sticker🤣!

[@HothTheBasher]

Good job Tony. Felt very honest

[@thetruth1013]

Good review Desert Rat! You are swaying me on this one

[@mcemtpockets1775]

Rc that bad baby

[@Xeallous]

We need a jeep with the Valaverse design, quality and price (better than the Hasbro one). 🙌🙌🙌

[@add_to_cart217]

Didn't preorder the original colors. Just locked in the Muddy Stealth Grey!! Lets Go!

[@Taikuken]

Very detailed review, can’t wait for mine !

[@RoleKeeper]

Awesome Video Tony, I cant wait for my 2 Stealh Grays to arrive. They will be my Limo and Follow up for my Motorcade Package I'm building. My only real gripe is that those leather seats wouldnt last a month in the real world, other wise I think its perfect. I was watching live when you knocked all those figures off the shelf it was freaking hilarious.

[@MichaelJShaffer]

Cool Ute and awesome review. The customizable stickers are a nice touch. You had me at Ronin.

[@A.Hanson]

I never got into Valaverse but I love seeing the photography that collectors of the line put out.

[@darkestcloister]

Beep-beep'm-beep-beep, yeah

[@podcastfromthepit3132]

Thanks for doing this review I really want one now

[@mjdoombreed]

Top notch review as always! The first in what I hope is a long line of great vehicles.

[@nickdunlop07]

Great review Tony. Can't wait to get my vanguard in hand👍🏻👍🏻

[@frank12830]

Pretty lackluster in my opinion. Hopefully they do better in the future

[@thomashorneman563]

What? Never its a 4 door 1/12 vehicle how many have existed in all of human history?

[@Ksknight100]

Damn! That is an awesome toy, great job Valaverse. It looks ace with the Humvee, what a diorama you could do with that lot.

[@mr_ozzio5095]

Is this "Action Force" connected to UK/EU version of GI Joe, from the mid 80s and of the same name??

[@AnalogToys]

It carries on the rich tradition of Palitoy Action Force while developing a new mythology. Action Force originally started out as a 3.75 inch scaled down version of the early Action Man figures. It evolved into a series of characters from the various fighting groups (Z Force, SAS Force, Q Force, Space Force and the Red Shadows). Action Force International Heroes was the next iteration that released figures based on the Real American Hero molds. After a series of corporate mergers and acquisitions, the Action Force line ended production in the mid 80s. In 2019, Bobby Vala, a former Hasbro employee who had previously worked on a 6-inch G.I. Joe line that Hasbro decided not to produce, acquired the rights to the name Action Force. He then developed an Action Force line in the 6-inch scale.

[@loufher284]

It looks cool, but I kinda would love to see them make a muscle car. You know, make it like a classic Camero, or Charger.

[@AnalogToys]

For a military toy line? That doesn't make sense, and Ramen has already made one.

[@loufher284]

@@AnalogToys Yeah I get it, but put some battle damage and weapons on it mad max style would be cool..

Great review! I’m really excited to open mine when it arrives on Saturday.

[@JayWoods483]

Thanks for your efforts on this review Tony. I am so envious right now!

[@gesticulato]

New toys like this smells like sh... As the original Palitoy last waves were way more enjoying, with unrealistic elements like Muton, Roboskull, Kraken, Space and Q Force, etc. I mean, with real guys like Trump and war in Ukraine and Gaza, we need more sci-fi and less realism. As a kid in 70+80's, even if war-toys still shared the shelves after Vietnam, fantasy and US comics-like little creatures and crazy vehicles were enough to play with. After Bush's senior 1st Gulf war, maybe plastic became cheaper and assassins glorious again! Super-spies, looney robots, funny ninjas and aliens, even ghosts and Wraiths are looking sweet in front of real ammo and macho tires on big SUV! Forgive my french eh eh eh

[@AnalogToys]

Are you playing with a full deck?

[@timothyward8695]

What an unhinged rant! Did you miss your therapy appointment this week or forget to take your meds?

[@ryantorney5581]

I’m very impressed with this vehicles versatility and play factor. For the cost of this vehicle, I’ve learned to expect less from other toys of this nature. A lot less, actually. The steering column actually functioning was critical to convince me how much work went into this. Your testimony on this was fair and showed me a lot of details that I wouldn’t have paid as much consideration from just shopping on a web page. Thank you.

[@ahhhkillit9290]

It looks great overall. It has great attention to detail. My only complaint is the lack of paint. At least the body of the truck and rims should have been painted

[@timothyward8695]

What's the point of molding in different colors if you're going to change the color with paint. Most toys are molded in their main color and details are added in other colors when necessary.

[@ahhhkillit9290]

@timothyward8695 paint always looks better vs just plain plastic.im in no way saying it looks bad but I think it would look more premium if there was the same color paint over the plastic. I have repainted a few things like the marvel legends deadpool bike that was red plastic with red paint and it looked a lot better

That thing is totally RAD! My only issue is... I don't collect the 6-inchers, BUT Valaverse and Gridiron Studios are makin it difficult to resist. Your Classified Vamp review also made me consider the 6-inch game. Great review, Tony as always and, yes, I laughed out loud when you cleared that shelf off for the Vanguard 😂!

Awww Mannnnnn! WTH Man?! I love this truck and it’s FREAKING AWESOME! I bought both of them! Now dude comes out with a limited mud packed one! Had I known that I would have bought one of those!

[@Hydrus496]

My son’s is on the way(11), so we’ll find out how well they hold up to play. I must say though, that now that I’ve seen the driver in a bit more detail thanks to your vid it seems like his proportions are just a bit off. It’s hard to tell so we’ll see when he gets his in hand. I do like the extra accessories he comes with, but I wish he had a holster for that pistol too. I can see him loosing that straight away lol

7:46 I’m a fan of the new boots too. The realism of the AF weapon is one of Bobby’s strengths, and seeing that same focus applied to other parts of the gear is 🙏🏻 Side note; the Henley shirts on series 5 is also a nice attention to detail from Bobby
