The Valaverse: Action Force Republic Guard Builder Riot/Urban/Special ops with Gear Review

[@ahhhkillit9290]

Can't wait til BBTS gets these in because I have most of them on Po. I always love army builders. The nameless goons are always cool. I like that they come with 2 different skin tone heads for even more options

Did you get them?

[@themoviejournal3080]

I just started collecting figures again because of the G.I. Joe Classified line, and your channel is by far the best figure review channel man! Great commentary and visuals! 🍻

[@UnusualYikes]

D Amazing the best in the business I watched countless videos on this line but have been waiting for yours and as usual the most superior,go D go D!!!

[@karlonavarro4174]

I definitely agree! AMAZING!!

[@253emiliano]

The articulation looks amazing!

[@corneilusmcgillicuddy]

Aside from the fact that I love your reviews, I just want you to know that I'm drinking more water because of you.

[@whozyourdaddy]

I bought the whole line during Kickstarter and the troopers are definitely my favorite. What I really think separates this line from Classified is the feel of the figures in hand. Classified is loose and floppy. These Valaverse figures are solid chunks. They hold their poses well and that torso articulation is superior in every way.

[@moskillz76]

I own a couple of these and I found the vest to be really hard to put on the figures. I had to take them apart at the torso in order for me to get access to the holes in order to peg the vest on. The problem is the holes are just too small and you have to stretch them in order to get the pegs to go in. It's very hard to do directly on the figure. Even once I had the vest on, the pegs had a tendency to pop out by themselves. This was especially bad on my Swarm trooper. I still like these figures and I really like the Special Ops Trooper with the Riot Gear. He looks like an operator out of Rainbox Six with the black gear.

[@CapedKong]

I love your reviews. I wish a company like BrickArms would make 1/12 scale weapons as well. I like sci-fi weapons a little more than real life guns.

[@MonitorAway]

😅I don’t know who BrickArms are but I agree on liking the sci-fi weapons more 🤘. Just as long as they’re not too Nerf’d out. (GI Joe is better with laser weapons😏)

[@jamesshives5679]

@@MonitorAway Brickarms is a company that makes weapons for Lego figures

@MIRAGE MAZINKAISER SAGA I wasn’t aware of these. Thanks!

The closed fists make a huge difference!!!...cough, cough @Hasbro

[@doctorjoker87]

You have turned me into this line, going to pick up a few of these!! They're good for a lot of things!!

[@GrosseFidelity]

That "cupping" I can see also being that as a stealth grab from behind kind of hand.

[@largolore]

Thanks for the great review. 👍 I ordered the whole Action Force collection. These figures have awesome articulation and style. Diversity is also a nice touch.

[@razumtazum3246]

I was late to the party on this line too, but man-I'm all in now. Great video, and your instant posing skills are amazing!

[@lanard6564]

Nice review brotha, thinking about Preordering some of these troops. loving the Adult Swim beat at the end 👍🏽

[@DaddyIvo]

NICE presentation! Enjoyed the photo’s and music at the end. 👍🏾🙌🏾🔥🙌🏾

[@trampasrose6813]

Just love all your work on here. I earn alot about poseing figures by watching you. Just love how you pose everything. Anyway big fan.

[@DAMac-lq2dl]

I also have a ton of these on pre-order through BBTS. Hopefully they will be here soon. Great review. New to the channel. Thoroughly enjoyed the content!!

[@richardl4272]

@damazing the handgun is based on the Silenerco Maxim 9. Has an integrated suppressor

[@bloodbeastseb]

Awesome review D! Love these guys. Have you ever done a behind the scenes lighting video ??

[@jonhahn6557]

Your thumbnails kind of misleading. I wanted to see the blue ones. I would like to see if they match the Cobra Troopers blue? Also you should have tried switching some stuff in between this guy and Firefly to make a better combination?

[@johnnyrivera1553]

Nice video, now we can army build. Thanks. 😉

[@scottvillett4854]

Don't know if you saw it but they have an actual, useful, drop down hip too.....these guys rock!

[@saturnscore3059]

The light chamo figure reminds me of enemy soldiers from metal gear solid games

[@dmaa88]

Can't wait for my Duster and Sergeant Slaughter V2. The weapon is actually a Z-M Weapons LR-300, it does look a lot like an M4 though.

[@rasmusheal6802]

These will look good with the mafex batman hush and the dark knight triumphant

[@House.Of.Pain.]

Man, I am so mad at myself for canceling my preorders because everything I had on preorder is now sold out! I canceled my preorder because I was literally waiting for about 2 and a half years for these figures to be released no lie so I thought that man these will never come out but low and behold some did come out. Now, to be fair I had mine preorder on BBTS and to this day they’re still not out on BBTS but everything I had preorder is sold out and I’m so mad about that.

[@greenmanstudios8746]

22 dollars!? And with all that accessories!? Gosh darn I've been sleeping on this! A freind of mine on Twitter said they feel cheap and have poor paint, but I ain't seeing any of that. Like you said these make perfect kitbash fodder. Thanks for this review brother, cause now I am saving for a bakers dozen of these.

[@pivotmaster4394]

actually the 22 ones only come with a head and hands not the weapons which kind of sucks.

[@lobo11180]

I like my urban guy with riot gear. Pretty happy with Steel Brigade and Bone Collector too. Disappointed with Sgt Slaughter though, size, face, and the way his glasses fit just not my favorite, going to try one of the wrestling versions instead.

[@illwill5127]

Nice review. Answered a few questions I had while I wait for mine to come in.

[@mmorpger0558]

The accessories really help them 'pop'.

[@therealspaceninja27]

DAMN SON! THOSE PHOTOS AT THE END!!! LOVE THE RED LIGHT BACK LIT VENT SHOTS. THE SHOT WITH THE 3 FIGURES POSING FOR THE CAMERA IS A GREAT REPRESENTION OF THESE FIGURES. WAITING ON MINE FROM BBTS. ARE THE RIFLES HARD STIFF PLASTIC OR IS IT THAT TERRIBLE SOFT ML RUBBER?

[@AlmightyTod]

Great review as always!

[@matthewcharles3200]

Excellent work here

[@eduardolamboy4776]

Those are NVGs (Night Vision Goggles) attached to the helmet or NODs, night optic device. Semper Fi 2/8

[@theinkslicer]

I might pick a few of these guys up to make some custom SCP Soldier figures

[@paulmualdeave5063]

It just hit me that I think the toys look better with less light on them. The light makes them look too bright. Your pics at the end use less light and are amazing. I've noticed this over time that toys look better in person than on video and maybe this is why. Just a thought.

[@ludotoyhunter8492]

So the gear doesn’t work with the classified line but I’m assuming that the weapons will, right? I would hate for nothing to be interchangeable because some guns were perfect looking for specific Joes. Those troopers look awesome I just thought they were a little expensive at the time but now with the figure price range they are not so much. Now I wish I could have preordered them also!

[@fightincodenames481]

Awesome posing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@markknox1194]

great figures, nice look. how tall are they and what company manufactures theeem?

[@OptimusMonk01]

good Firefly stand in

[@jacobscopperfield7660]

I want the black suit trooper to make custom SAS troops

[@frakmaster69master11]

Nice review. Can you head swap GI Joe Classified or Marvel Legends heads onto the Valaverse bodies?

[@dazblue5515]

Love these basic figures - really wanted to pick up a few of the Crimson versions they were doing - but I think they cancelled them sadly!

[@erwincornel2650]

This is a big IF, if you have those Tommytec Little Armory assault rifles. Can you do scale comparison?

[@czarface5615]

I started picking up a few of them here and there, building a classic Counter-Strike(the game) display

[@dmun888]

Another great video, Really enjoying the photos at the end. Got all of my series 1 right before Christmas. Ordered over a year ago. Haven't stopped messing with them since. Are they perfect? Nope, no action figure is. Are they fun??? HELL YEAH!!! First times I ever took a gamble on a line of toys from a company I knew nothing about, and had nothing to go on but the word of the creator that these would be good action figures. Normally I would have waited for a review to see if it would be worth the money.

[@breadc2934]

Awesome vid as always, you didn’t show the backpacks open to store helmet and extras

[@DAmazing]

I honestly didn’t know that

[@kyzuekelz3167]

Waiting for that storm shadow review

[@Buff88]

Did you have a problem clasping the vests? I did, and so have others with Valaverse.

[@jwalk1973]

I have the urban trooper and I use him as a Firefly assistant but I will be getting more.

[@lareh5501]

None of my preorders for this have come in yet. I was really liking the options of different skin tone heads. When you said at 9:13 the pegs don't fit with Joe's unless heavily modified, were you referring to the pegs for the backpacks and weapons or the pegs for the heads?

[@samuellonghurst7723]

For the feet I am guessing

[@blackred1032]

i dnt collect but id buy these. these are one of the best looking action figures ive ever seen since ive been a kid. but these shits are all sold out. just how much do they make if they ran out ?

[@spideysnakeeyesoptimusfan]

D, can you link or tell me where you got Firefly's vest? Much better than Hasbro official vest

[@tacotrash928]

I love you man

[@dbzispimpin]

I got my Botcon Exclusive Wasp Raider last week and I'm friggin BLOWN AWAY by how good the articulation is for a figure at this price point!! To be clear, just so everyone's aware, as Bobby Vala recommended, I had to do some HEAVY warming of the figure to get all the joints loosened up when I pulled it out because it was SUUUUPER tight, but once I spent around 30-40mins dipping and loosening the figure in some pre-boiled water for 35-50seconds at a time, it's been nice and smooth, now I can pose it whenever I want and the joints stay nice and firm, but easily malleable. Vala said this only happened because of all the shipping delays and more than likely a combination of temp changes from sitting in containers from China, combined with badly insulated packing, but he says he's working toward remedying that for future waves, so let's hope they figure out a solution, because it was quite a pain in the butt to warm a single figure for 30-40mins, I can't imagine the nightmare I'm in for when my preorder for the entire first wave arrives... but I'll forgive it since it's Valverse's first outing as a figure manufacturer, there's a learning curve, I get it, and after that small misstep, the figure did turn out amazing... but if this problem is sorted out in the future, it'll def hurt the wonderful rep the figure has otherwise. Let's hope they can figure out the tight joints problem and perfect this line!

[@terminatorfamily8286]

Hey can you tell me the name of all this and tell me where you got everything in this video?

[@ComicCrossing]

How well do the weapons fit with Mcfarlane scale figures? Was thinking of buying a few of the accessory packs for DC characters.

[@batandjoefan8108]

I saw a video reviewing the weapons packs. The reviewer felt some of the rifles were a bit oversized for 6 inch figures and fit better with the 7 inch Red Hood figure.

[@jonathandoesepth5212]

Do those weapon they come with work with mezco figures?

[@mrnic4787]

Can’t believe they’re better than GI JOE!

That ab engineering is definitely import quality. Iirc this vala guy came from hasbro right? Makes me wonder why the hell a big company like that can’t design their ab articulations like this. Smh
