[@rwallace1492]

Controversial take...Companies crowdfund because we consumers have created the market. We buy every figure, every vehicle, variant etc and companies exploits that. We created this billion dollar industry of toy collecting from our love, passion, hobby. Crowd funding to me is really waste of money. What would happen if we all just stopped buying toys? We have the power to make companies lower their prices.

[@ArticulatedNinja]

Nah thats not controversial that's just logic man your 💯 percent right , I agree I wish would could band together and stop consuming in certains ways for sure crowdfunding major companies is definitely top of the list.

[@maybetoby]

@@rwallace1492 that's why Hasbro lost a lot of money last year. They oversaturated the market with low quality overpriced figures (looking at you Marvel Legends) and many people stopped buying.

[@Duomaxwell02M]

Hot Take: Toys Crowdfunded by big corporations were popularized by Western collectors. Japan always took the limited edition route,

[@ucitymetalhead]

The music video had me rolling. I see the back blast effect up front there. I swear that head looks like a heli viper. Goddammit man that linkin' park at the end 🤣

Now that's a Vanguard Party and my guy Trigger's having a great time in the back of that Vanguard! Ahh yeeeah! The Vanguard has been a lot of fun setting up w different configurations, went with the "Commando Gray" preorder. Got a few Stingers as well, and I've got a great convoy for my Gray Squad. Great time to be a collector and looking forward to more tracks from Lil Triggaz

I totally agree on what you said. The closet thing I would called a premium vehicles is the Ramen Racer and that wasn't crowd funded. I like all my vehicle, but Bobby is killing it right now.

[@ArticulatedNinja]

@@segreen607 yea I love em all as well green, hopefully we keep getting spoiled by all these companies

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

There is no need for any of this stuff to be crowd funded. All of this stuff also needs to be on store shelves (especially looking at YOU Hasbro and Mattel). It sounds like Valaverse is working on getting its products on store shelves.

[@StatueBreaker]

I absolutely love the Vanguard! It was definitely worth every penny!

[@jasonoshea7947]

Great video Ninja, just as I'm watching this my first Vanguard arrived , the tan one .When I was opening the outer & then the inner box , a feeling I haven't felt since childhood came over me that of coming down on Christmas morning & opening up my presents. Only my knees aren't what they use to be , I wanted to get down on the floor & roll it around making engine & gunfire noises. Something that is also not mentioned much is that this is Bobby's FIRST vehicle compared to Hasbro;s God knows how many vehicles they have produced over the decades, context is King. P.S I really hope you get at least one Pink Vanguard for your Ladies.

[@danielmilliken8903]

There’s a Time to be a Lion and a Time to be a Lamb..You showed both. This one’s another banger.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

All the Has Bros should be thankful that Valaverse made the Vanguard. This Vanguard provided the incentive Hasbro needed to put out the VAMP as quickly as it did and at "retail". It is likely that Hasbro would have been happy to keep the VAMP hidden behind a HasLab.

[@comicbookbin]

That's not how marketing works. If you listen to past interviews with Hasbro, they had mentioned clearly that smaller vehicles were coming to retail that would not be crowdfunded, after the Hiss' success. The Vanguard is not what pushed Hasbro to release the Vamp, nor release it as a fan channel. Now, the Vamp's success is what influenced the Stinger going retail. However, Valaverse did motivate Hasbro to release the 60th anniversary infantry and the Steelcorps two-pack. Know your facts.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

@@comicbookbin Business strategy, marketing, and decisions change when new information becomes available. Small vehicles were already being released at retail (Baroness and COBRA COIL, RAM Cycle). We did not hear anything about the VAMP until it was obvious that Valaverse was working on a vehicle and would release it through retail (not crowdfunded). At the time it was not apparent how Hasbro would classify the VAMP (small, medium, large, extra large). The VAMP is obviously not small. Hasbro did not share details about how they would classify the sizes of the vehicles. Considering Hasbro's habit of re-use and re-paints it is likely that Hasbro immediately began production of the Stinger after the production of the VAMP was complete. The success of the VAMP was not too hard to accurately predict.

[@comicbookbin]

@@hammertronactionfigures2426 you said it yourself. Hasbro reuses moulds all the time. There was no way the Vamp would be sold through a Haslab when historically, it has been used to produce several GI Joe and Cobra vehicles. Thus, the Vanguard had no bearing on the Vamp not being a Haslab. We haven't even seen the end of the Vamp's Classified mould being reused. Arguing that Hasbro decided to make a Vamp because of the Vanguard is also a ridiculous statement. The Vamp is a classic GI Joe vehicle, part of its first wave from 1982, that has been recoloured several times and even released once again in 1/18 scale with anew mould in 2022 as the Stinger. The Vamp was in production way ahead of Valaverse announcing the Vanguard. Again, after the Hiss' success, in several interviews, Hasbro did indicate that they were moving ahead with smaller-sized vehicles in 1/12 scale for GI Joe. As I mentioned above, if Hasbro drew inspiration from Valaverse, it was with the 60th anniversary infantry soldiers and the Steelcorps. Hasbro did not need to know about the Vanguard to make the Vamp.

[@blkrazor8866]

That Vanguard video is the thing I didn't know I needed to to see. 😂 I can tell you had a good time making. Perfect "icebreaker" for the review.

[@CarrotParrot95]

I absolutely hate that I can't get Valaverse figures and stuff for cheap in the UK, so when I watch these I just think well at least I have G.I. Joe classified series and then cry myself to sleep. So cherish the figures for me.

[@gabe_satx]

Maaaan I left the room and I could here Big Tymers from the kitchen lol

[@alasiadarthe001actual9]

I admit I’m skipping the vanguard since I mostly do power rangers not military but I’m super hyped for the swarm flyer. Glad everyone is enjoying their tanks.

[@albatrosscustoms]

I was waiting for your video and it did not disappoint! I have the tan and grey Vanguards and for the price of $184.99 each with free shipping and free rocket launchers - that's hard to beat. I'm having a great time customizing them and added a whole lot of mods. This is a product done right and the ease of adding stuff by using the winch attachment points and the turret opening is testament to that fact. It's a must that ALL the figures in your line fits inside your vehicle. And its a bonus when you have other brands fit as well. I'm looking forward to the Swarm Flyer and more Vanguard color options. Again, great video!

[@andremoss5474]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you I needed that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well HM Armed Forces, works for both 1/12 and 2/6

[@xlTOK3Nlx]

I mean to be fair that truck is big AF in real life so it’s pretty accurate in comparison next to the Stinger.

[@JayWoods483]

Thanks for your review on this beautiful product Ninja. I am one of those unfortunate collectors that doesn't have the real estate available for this wonderful vehicle. Envious beyond belief I cannot say how much I appreciate the incredible work Bobby did with the Vanguard. Exclusively collecting Marvel characters the dark variant would look excellent as a SHIELD transport meanwhile the tan could be a Hydra one. The music you chose was absolutely perfect, and sounds like a great song.

[@8andSk8]

Hell Yeah Ninja 🥷! Great video as always bro!

[@ArticulatedNinja]

I Appreciate it!! Thank you Sk8

[@AllBreaksLoose]

I don't collect action force, but this looks pretty cool. I can see customizers go nuts like they have with the vamp with 3D printed accessories.

[@willieikerd]

I actually love the Vanguard. I didn’t realize how big it was when I got the box. I look at it this way. It can house practically all my Action Force figures. I’m contemplating on the Pink vanguard cuz I’m planning on getting a couple of the pink figures. Yeah the articulation on the turret many people gripe over. You’re not the only one. The figure I really like. At least I have to say your review is pretty much what other KZbinrs are saying. There’s some that complains about the cheap plastic but hey. Good review Ninja.

[@aaroneaston8899]

I bought Vanguards in Grey, Tan, Muddy Tan. Sold both tan versions to help pay for an RC desert tan HG Humvee. Looks excellent with my Valaverse desert squad. I agree, muddy desert tan is the way to go. Looks way better than the standard version.

[@stridin]

Thanks for the review. I would have loved to support the Vanguard, but I don't have space for vehicles. It's a solid price compared to the Neca-animated Turtle Van whiched I owned.

[@savagesnake33]

Vanguard is cool but I would rather pay for an upgraded Vamp and Stinger with those GridIron Studio parts.

[@ArticulatedNinja]

Yes they look good but I'm not talking about added parts from another company that doubles the price, that gridiron complete set is more expensive then the vanguard and still doesn't fit as much. But gridiron definitely did a good job making it look good.

Ok ok hear me out guys, my wife collects dolls (mostly barbies) and she has a lot of vehicles. Now barbie vehicles are SUPER basic but they get the job done. Some of them are four doors and they open, she has speed boats, corvettes, vans some of them are REMOTE CONTROL remember the dolls are 11" mostly double the size of our figures. Most of them are $50 tops why can't hasbro or other companies do very BASIC vehicles for an affordable price.

I don't understand why people are still having the argument of what's better. How come we just can't enjoy the fact that we have both. When it comes to a GI Joe we're paying for the name. When it comes to valaverse with paying for the originality. Both lines work well together. Can't we all just get along (Rodney King)

[@Charlie_5.5]

Great video 🫡. The free shipping is lost on so many people. It's a big box, and the no US shipping cost places this vehicle in the $160ish price range I guesstimate. I like my Vamp & Stinger. But neither works as a big, secure, bullet & bomb proof transport for multiple 1/12 figures. I ordered a grey one to use with multiple 1/12 lines. Comparisons are inevitable, but I see each as unique offerings. If Vala had done a crowdfund or a made to order preorder Super7 style, I don't see a problem with that. It's a sales model that mitigates a companies risk. It's not ideal, but it's business.

[@batandjoefan8108]

I bought both colors and they look fine on the shelf with figures hanging out of the doors and in the turret but by itself it is fairly bland. The size doesn’t make up for the lack of detail and if I had to make a choice it would be the Vamp and Stinger over the two Vanguards. Still, no hate here and I appreciate more 1/12 scale vehicles hitting the market.
