It's no longer a secret... DFW G.I. Joe Show Valaverse Panel

[@Valaverse]

What was your favorite part?

[@nickdunlop07]

The mail away pandora is amazing. Will definitely be ordering that one 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Darckstar52]

Swarm locust! Not a statue person, but a super deluxe base like that would be a great option.

[@Zakainen]

The pink Steel Brigade for breast cancer awareness was my favorite reveal. Very awesome.

[@LibationsByLayton]

Was great being there and meeting you Bobby!!!

[@BonesEye42]

The TMNT crossover!

[@VConley]

This was an AMAZING panel to be at! Can’t wait for all the new stuff down the pipeline!

[@thetitan914]

DFW was a great time with a ton of great folks. I am very excited about the reissues being that I only started collecting Valaverse this year I missed out a characters like Trigger (maybe Desert Rat next???) Vanguard upgrade kit is a lock for me. Bobby's sorcery knows no limits, Hail to Valaverse

[@alekhidell4925]

Trigger is awesome!! One of the best in my Vala-collection Stoked for those that somehow missed him but can get it now! Freaking sweet.

[@scubapete9500]

Outstanding Bobby!! There is no limit with Valaverse! (BTW…Leslie just jumped up to see the pink Vanguard. 🩷)

[@jcreations_ny]

Such a great panel. To be there in person was amazing. Loved meeting everyone. Can’t wait to give you all my money.

[@Valaverse]

thanks for coming!

[@leftylion816]

"Cicada" would be an awesome name for the Locust pilot

[@jasonatreides2542]

Yess second this! Cicada!!

[@Marneus28]

It's funny but that was also what popped into my head when he talked about pilot names. Feels like it fits with the whole bugs theme for sure.

[@daleharford8339]

What was my favourite part? I'd have to say the whole presentation. AF just keeps getting better and better. Thank you, Bobby, and everyone who works on it

[@caseysmith3329]

So glad to have been at this panel see the reveals and ask questions! Great showing Valaverse!

[@TAKTAK_Toys]

I’ve been waiting all week for this!

[@strangerONE99]

I’m a 42 year old first time collector…Action Force and Monster Force are the only lines I’m collecting…I started looking for toys for my boys cause we couldn’t find anything in stores…thank you Big Bad Toy store…now Bobby and BBTS gonna take all my money

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

OH MAN...I had to download this for my reactions video at 10AM.....SOOO EXCITED!!!! The new Bone Collector turned out amazing!

[@Ghostbuster-ROB1980]

OMG!!! SO MANY NEW FIGURES AND VEHICLES!!! CAN’T WAIT!!! VALAVERSE ACTION FORCE!!!

[@Gojitron1]

That Elite Praetorian looks great! See you at Terrificon. 👍

[@obxnice]

Very happy for your success. You deserve it. Def show you care for the fans

[@happiaxxident]

Outstanding! Being that I’m the new Pink Ranger, I’m all over the Pink flavored offerings.

[@travieg123]

Bobby is a smart dude, I haven’t been to a con in years and was on the fence about going just to see their booth but now that there is THAT exclusive figure at Terrificon I literally paused the video to go order tickets. Thankfully they’ll be available online later in the year but it’s actually awesome that there’s gonna be a con exclusive that will be readily available there and then later online.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

This is fun! Looking forward to seeing what else Bobby Vala imagines in his Action Force universe!

[@BiggHefty]

Im a 1/6 collector and your products have pulled me into 1/12 collecting. I can't wait to see what you do next....and I am also patiently waiting for more team building items and that sweet, sweet Rezvani Vengeance if you guys make it

[@LORDHAMMOFYT]

Panel room is always electric, gotta love it 🤘 AFAF

[@teddarkclaw]

Custom Head Packs and Hand Packs is such a smart move! In addition, I LOVE the idea of consistently being able upgrade the Vanguard. As collectors, sometimes we get bored and sell stuff off, but having something you can always adjust and make new is awesome!

[@tlew5373]

You're making me have to pay attention to you and your line, well done! This wasn't my thing but I like what you're doing. I will be picking a bunch of these up moving forward. Tks for the content

[@DannyOfOurTime]

You did the trigger discipline hands! Right on

[@KentHeltzinger]

Very Awsome reveals! The Exclusive figures of pandora and pretorian look great . Thank you for giving us your great pieces of art in action figure form!

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

The muddy variant Vanguards look like fun. We'll have to add mud splatters to our display shelves for these to fit in well.

[@MP3DK76-kn1op]

Really excited for EVERYTHING coming!!

[@SkunkLifeMedia]

Yesss someone asked about more named bad guys and that is definitely priority one for me. More unique baddies!!!!!!

[@PraiseHimForever777]

We really need to be able to attach rifles to backpacks. Also would be nice to have some sling so we could carry them over the shoulder.

[@natephoenix]

Glad I caught this on here, I just got my first Valaverse figure (they're hard to get in the UK without crazy shipping) with my second on the way, so I'm excited to see these reveals! Still hoping that someone doing these 6" lines will pick up the Resident Evil license, but that's wish fulfillment. I wonder if we'll ever see Valaverse do Action Force Action Force, haha. Would love to see Red Shadows or Quarrel from these guys.

[@jonathanhernandez3292]

Thank you for reissuing Trigger hes a must-have

[@khalilumrani9742]

Bobby Valaverse you rock

[@Fanky_Milton]

Love the figures. Love the stuff for customizers. Not a statue fan. Keep up the incredible work.

[@TAKTAK_Toys]

I preordered series 5 Bobby!

[@Valaverse]

Thank you!

[@jasonatreides2542]

Bobby I am a huge GI Joe Fan and last year you caught my eye with that Blowback Sniper figure and Killswitch, the headpack etc....that Swarm vehichle, these head and hand packs are great!!!! That vehichle is the most rad thing ever! As in it just reached out of from the 80s and choke slamed me rad!!!! WoW!! Imagine a swarm cycle w pods that open and send swarm drones to attack!! You have a forever fan and loyal customer now!!! You have no strings to hold u down!! Those middle finger hands haha just too awesome!

[@hgc7000]

I have a good friend who is going through breast cancer treatments currently, and I lost a very good family friend decade back to it as well. The fact that you are tying proceeds of the Steel Brigade figure to a breast cancer foundation shows your good character, again. I'll definintely order a few to help this effort a long. Thanks!!! Also, that Swarm vehicle and "Rob" the pilot. Great design, and cool figure layout. I've got some plans for that as well. Question: One day will we get a non grimacing Kerak head or figure? Looking up plane tickets to that Connecticut show. Green and Black is my color combo. That Praetorian is sweeeet!

[@jigsawnora3207]

This was so incredible on KZbin for us to see! Mr. Vala has the best company out of all! Everything shown was cool even the re-issues! This was super incredible 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@derektorres6260]

It blows me away that the only thing cooler than all these announcements and previews is that I didn’t see a single spoiler on KZbin or facebook (at least in the groups I’m in). That alone is AFAF.

[@aaronaldridge2855]

Feels like every third item is an exclusive. Great stuff but it sucks for completists that don’t have the ability to go to the conventions and then have to pay secondary market prices for them. Unfortunately I think this line just became a “collect what I can” franchise.

[@GodlikeWindbag]

For sure. Good to know I can just wait for eBay to come around and think to myself "Well, this one is only TWICE the regular price." Like, its whatever man. There isn't a single store where these are available in my area. I can ONLY buy them online. PreOrders are a joke.

[@bobbyvala3186]

Did you hear the part where I said we make everything available on the site after the shows? Guess you missed it.

[@aaronaldridge2855]

@@bobbyvala3186 I heard it. Just hard to wait to see if the rest of the rabid fans in attendance leave some for the rest of us. 😉

[@EastCoastKody]

what a fantastic show. Really pushing the line forward while also taking care of what came in the line before. Really pumped for the Head Pack. the new Trigger head and beat up looking Kerak. Biker Bar Pandora is amazing. If u can figure out how to get a bike out for her, that maybe comes with a motorcyle helmet that can be swapped onto this figure.👍 It looks great in the all black AND the all white. What would it look like in all red? the flocking and vac metal prospects are very exciting for the future. Trigger with flocking could be killer. And i think i speak for everyone when i say "Vac Metal Praetorian when??" you're really knocking it out of the park with this line. I could see 100 Bone Collector, Night Ops Senshi, Praetorian and Bloody Biker Pandora all being on ppls top 10 figures of the year lists. Its insane to have that many must buy figures all in the same time period. for future Head Packs could we get another Senshi head. Possibly wearing a red blindfold ala "Kenshi" from Mortal Kombat. Heck it could be sick to do a whole Senshi upgrade pack with more samurai inspired weaponary. Would also love translucent red Swarm Trooper and Scarab heads to put on the Swarm Horde figure. super job. Keep it up. we appreciate it

[@Stygian360]

I have to say Bobby that single-seater swarm vehicle... absolute genius! That's just a really really cool idea. Your panels always bring the hotness and I'm sad I missed this one. Been waiting all week to see this footage, so thank you for making it available! Best of luck with the future movie. We're all looking forward to hearing more about it.

[@wilfredodiaz3445]

I'm digging that flying swarm vehicle......looks cool 👍

[@SoldadoColeccionista8927]

Outstanding presentation!! Every single one of the announcement was great!! If you are able to launch a animated shows on a stream channel (Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, or Max) before the competition, you will knock it out of the park while attracting more audience!! I think that is a essential piece that is missing nowadays when it comes to collecting and it is that connection with the story and toys. Remember what you have created, this is history!!

[@Sladeonslade]

Lesley and I had a wonderful time. Bobby, Ryan, and Cory where very cool. Definitely worth the 14 hour drive.

[@gerainthorton8980]

Some impressive announcements. Bobby has talked about hand and head packs. I'm just worried about the alpha and bravo attached to them and the impact on my credit card. Awesome seeing the Vanguard extended out. Again something he has mentioned. The factory coming to him with the muddy version was cool. They are probably looking at the line thinking stuff is exciting, what can we do.

[@JayWoods483]

What an incredible panel. Thank you very much Bobby. Favorite? Oh, everything I guess. The muddy tires (an excellent name for a driver right?) on the Vanguard give it that much more realistic and gives it a "used" look all military vehicles could have. If the muddy tires look real, so do those face sculpts on that head pack. Love Trigger. Thanks for supporting breast cancer - this is extremely admirable of you.

[@nottopgoon5773]

I WAS THERE

[@rewalrus]

Thank you for reissuing Trigger and Garrison Calvary figures. I came into the line just after they were all sold out. Trigger is a character I really wanted and could never get. Looking for to the next series plus future medic and diver figures. Quick question how does Legend of the White Dragon fit into Action Force?

[@Micanick78]

Well all of it was Awesome you are right Bobby just keep it all going Iwish I could go to some show but that's a nother story THANK YOU BOBBY for it all....

[@frostmirage7878]

BUZZZED!!! Muddy Vanguard plus the add-ons pulled me in to getting this vehicle! Pandora’s “Team”?! Oh heck yeah!!! Glad we’re finally getting the trigger battle cry head but with that …are we ever getting the leather vest & jeans version of Trigger?! Great stuff coming and I’m absolutely here for it!!!

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

AW MAN! The exclusives look like fun, but they're not very much fun because they are so hard to get.

[@raymondjones5909]

More calvary yes! I was only able to grab two when I started collecting two years ago

[@brhodges77]

Souch an awesome panel glad i got to go.

[@MoonBeamLaser]

Great presentation

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

It would be much more fun it the action points were on a seperate piece of cardboard inside the backaging. We want to keep the packaging in good shape for storage, displays, and moving. (Of course, we take the figures out to play with!)

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

OH WOW! The SWARM LOCUST looks like fun!

[@jonathanhernandez3292]

The new Pandora looks amazing!

[@dwoncrawford5823]

I totally agree about showing what’s inside. It’s like in the 80’s I would always pick the gijoe figure with the most accessories.

[@WompaStompaCyn]

Hope they do it with the weapons packs too going forward

[@kickback69200141]

You are killing it man keep it up. Cant wait for the pre orders.

[@kevindeantonio5582]

Wow! What an awesome Panel! Many thanks to Bobby V. and his Crew. That SWARM Locust reveal made me lose my shit! Thank you!!! You probably already have this in mind, but that awesome Pink Vanguard, you should run it on the 3POA Show as a Lottery, and have some monies going to your Cancer Charity in Rhode Island just to connect it to Cancer Awareness month.

[@largoslair42]

Amazing reveals, as always. I'm not a statue collector, but if you did a limited run 12 inch Pandora or Steel Brigade, I'd be all over that! Favorite reveals are the Garrison reissue, muddy Vanguard, and Swarm Locust.

[@nickdunlop07]

Absolutely speechless all those reveals are unreal. The future for valaverse is going to be awesome. Every new series just keeps getting better and better 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Bigdaddyweese]

Should make the pink vanguards a charitable donation giveaway contest

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

AWESOME!! Garrison Cavalry re-issued!

[@jrex9197]

All of it is awesome, you're KILLING IT Bobby! 🤘🤘

[@Dreadnok_K6]

Great Job Bobby.

[@comicchatauthority]

I wasn’t alive when the mail away stuff was happening 😢! I need to start collecting valaverse so when next mail away happens. I can participate.❤ keep on kicking ass Bobby…

[@johnm5573]

I really hate the blister cards. They just don’t display well. I was really happy with your windowed boxes. The side art was great. Love the complete file card as well.

[@yojoeoc168]

good stuff! cant wait add all these to my collection

[@2682shark]

Great job.. everything looks great.. random question, are you from NJ? Specifically West Orange because I think I remember going to school with a Bobby Vala.. I graduated 2000, born in 82

[@FFFFPPPP]

I tried to be a completist with this line. Ive gotten everything up to this point that’s available. However this has gotten out of hand. These exclusives and extremely limited run items are outrageous and youve become like a new Mcfarlane. Five Vanguards is not just pricey but who has the room? Bone Collector variant is $400+. The randomness is the worst part. Make the damn things a separate purchasable item to give everyone a chance. This is just this one event. This is going to repeat every year as long as the line exists and that sounds like the opposite of fun. Mcfarlane is getting reamed for what he’s doing in regard to almost every figure having a chase because collectors hate the abuse of this most 90s of practices.

[@bobbyvala3186]

We’ve made every exclusive available on our site after the shows. So what else ya got?

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

The armor upgrade kit looks like fun! But.... Now we have to get more Vanguards so we can display all versions!

[@aisforapple9968]

My favorite part was the reveal of the Stinger!

[@CosmicGladiator]

God damn that was an awesome panel!!

[@Charlie_5.5]

I loved everything shown. I loved the old Kenner Batman and MOTU character variants. Valaverse has mastered the art of color and parts combinations to make fresh and interesting character variants. Well done, you continue to have my business 🫡.

[@thedugout5192]

I'm SOOOO glad you made the vanguard dirty. I didn't get the first run cause they look like they should've been dirty. Well done!!

[@dacollector4452]

How do we not have a Bobby Vala figure yet?

[@BooshmanLee]

He said he's not interested in making a figure of himself. Though he also said that Trigger wouldn't be re-released, so never say never I suppose.

[@markd9803]

Really cool stuff coming. Bobby should be really proud of this figure line he’s created.

[@thomasflood0105]

Hey I can see the top of my head! ... this was awesome.. keep doing what you're doing.. can't wait for series 5 to arrive.. and beyond!

[@MaximumWarp2099]

Great news about a possible comic series or more books down the line. I’ve definitely been wanting more media to flesh out the story.

[@TAKTAK_Toys]

Wow Terrificon is on my birthday!

[@ChapsUnlimited]

TRIGGER!! When will we get the female head pack? Gemini’s mouth is tired. 😂😂

[@SuperTiso]

Damn, Bobby stop making Action Force so good.

[@robertsinfiniterealms1308]

My mom is a breast cancer survivor so I’m definitely getting an extra pink Steel Brigade for her. Do you think you’ll be doing the custom file cards for them again. I’d love to make one to give to her with it.

[@angelbonachea7688]

a question to be considered. I am from Spain and I would like to know if you are going to start distributing internationally through your official website in the future?

[@MildWill]

Pink Vanguard, pink packaging. Please tell me the muddy vanguard has muddy packaging?!

[@curseoffenrir]

Trigger! Hell yeah!

[@zombiesmith5735]

I ordered the muddy version of the Vanguard this past Tuesday, along with Covert Ops Condor, Eclipse and Urban Commando. Can’t wait for them to arrive. How about for Vanguard upgrades making a working top hatch (instead of the no working plug it comes with), and a gun turret where the guns actually move up and down and has some shielding in the front where the guns are so the gunner isn’t exposed to enemy fire from the front? Oh, and an actual platform in the gun turret for a figure to stand on so he/she isn’t sitting on a piece of “metal” plating with legs dangling?

[@Tagworm03]

Yeah I have both the Gray and Tan. I need the Pink one for my Lady. She’s a breast Cancer survivor. I want to gift her one.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

It's great to hear that the SWARM LOCUST will have a more reasonable price than Hasbro's stuff.

[@bouchamr]

I want that Elite Praetorian figure and cant wait to see the Swarm Locust and Hope for Swarm figures in the future. and a Huge congrats on the success of Action Force and im loving my LOWD figures

[@jonathanhernandez3292]

I like that youre doing something for charity I lost my mom to breast cancer

[@Marneus28]

Me too man, just this year. I'm all over buying one or two of them in support. Hoping it's an online event deal, not just at a con, so as many as possible can support.

[@jonathanhernandez3292]

@@Marneus28 ugh so sorry

[@CutThroatComics]

I was excited about reissues and that Trigger is coming back, I need trigger in my collection. Also the cool head packs look very cool and the hand pack Alpha looks cool as well. You rock Bobby, I will be ordering once more funds come my way.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

AWESOME! Trigger re-issued!

I am Torn Bobby between the Balck and white outfits of Pandora. Those two are on my Action Force wish list.

[@ZOOM_FIG_CUSTOMS]

Damn that armor for the vanguard is a must🔥

[@azurewyrm66]

Definite Pre-Orders for me: 1. SWARM LOCUST!!!!!! 2. Elite Praetorians!!!! 3. Pink Steel Guard 4. PARTY PANDORA!!! 5. Action Point Pandora 6. Backpacks!!! Ok, some questions about the Swarm... 1. Since there are Swarm heads in the Head Pack...Swarm re-issue soon? 2. Speaking of Swarm Trooper/Scarab re-issue: with the release of the CST Praetorians and the advanced shield tech they have could the re-issues be Generation 2 Swarm Armor? I got my Horde and Tracer right next to me as I type this and I've been thinking for a while if they had a scaled down shield tech for the Gen 2 Armor to cover vulnerable areas the actual plates don't cover? In both the comics and novel despite being so advanced they are very vulnerable to small arms fire especially when in flight. Of course Swarm Troopers/Scarabs would need some type of power pack if they don't have flight packs. 3. The Swarm Locust pilot looks AMAZING!!! My first thought when I saw it was that the armor would be an awesome starting point for Gen 2 Scarab Armor that has a distinct Swarm look compared to the original Bone Collector heavy armor. Also, some Swarm Scarab heavy weapon packs with distinct Swarm weaponry and alternate flight packs? Lastly, any new comics and novels incoming? Gemini Comic LFG!!!

[@xenuprime1]

NEED that pink Vanguard for my daughter!
