Operation: Monster Force Wave 1 Fresh Monkey Fiction BigBadWorkshop BBTS Action Figure Review

[@Sybato]

You can really tell a lot of love went into this line.

[@gregoryschmerber9478]

I agree!

[@damionblake95]

I don't need to start another line. I don't need to start another line. I don't need to start another line. I'm probably getting this entire line... 🤦🏻

[@artofgarduno]

Stop the denial, you already know deep down what must be done.

[@mrcheeseandcrackers]

Just wait for season 2 bro.

[@michaelj2276]

I'm going to cherry pick, myself. There's no *way* I could buy all of these. So awesome... 🤤

[@mgshock]

Do it.

[@completecarnage]

@@damionblake95 I decided to cancel all of my preorders once I saw reviewers getting their freebies while our preorders are delayed. They can keep mine.

[@FluffyCajun]

Yup. Definitely expanding that GI Joe and Action Force shelf

[@LibationsByLayton]

That’s exactly my dilemma hahahaha

[@mjdoombreed]

I have been excited for these for what feels like forever. I hope they're actually shipping soon! Glad Robo can give us this preview!

[@RoboDontKnow]

Last I heard was in the next month or two.

[@rokkieteller5421]

@@RoboDontKnowit got delayed till October now

[@ItzCobb]

The Forgotten King and Dracula are absolute must haves! Love the variety and accessories with all characters!

[@MadMax76er]

That alternate trooper head is straight up Action Force Red Shadow

[@alexisdeacon8727]

I think that was intentional, no? There are a few other Action Force call backs in this line.

[@rokkieteller5421]

Oh it is. They got a whole wave set up for the red shadows

[@wheeljoker]

And they'll be joining my Cobra army

[@therealunclassified]

How is it a rip off? Lol​@paxamericanafilms

[@SirG.L.RIC.KAGE-Esq]

​@@therealunclassifiedhe meant to say, "homage"😁

[@ComradeCole]

These looks amazing, I don't think it occurred to me just how much stuff they come with.

[@RoboDontKnow]

Same here, when I saw the baggie and then poured out all the goodies I realized that there is a ton of value to the army builders.

[@Darthbauer951]

The holster for the small pistol is on the vest. In the spot where it looks like you plugged in one of the rifle magazines.

[@RoboDontKnow]

Gah, it fits in there? So many options I got lost, haha.

[@Charlie_5.5]

Great review, it looks like Fresh Monkey is about to be a major player in the 1/12 scene. I can't wait for my preorders, it looks like they will be worth the wait.

[@josh_through_everyday]

I think most of us have been waiting to see the quality IN HAND and they look great. I’m def getting quite a bit from the line.

[@RaymondBelvin]

Good to see them in hand. BBTS informed me that my pre-order got pushed back. The tugs look great! Thanks!

[@ismaelhernandez4945]

I didn't know what to expect from this line and was waiting for a review. Now I'm going to need them all, plus 50 extra army builders. My poor wallet. 😅

[@RoboDontKnow]

The army builders being insanely customizable is awesome.

[@KingBrachion92]

Immediately went and preordered the Sleepwalker Heavy. That skull gas mask with the patina and the bright green effect on the guns sold me.

[@rolandrage]

Fresh monkey fiction can definitely pull off the Hellboy and or Judge Dredd licenses in 1/12 scale.

[@RoboDontKnow]

Oh man, I I should have done that comparison!

[@cowpuddles4851]

This was a great format. I appreciate that you broke the figures down by type.

[@jasonpatchen1912]

definetly the best line for army building so many variations

[@suhtangwong]

But what's price pt? 🤔

[@brianjohnson1867]

I need to read up on these characters. The figures look amazing especially The Forgotten King.

[@fujifilm5127]

0:59 "the forgotten king has Rizzin'."

[@RenAlexander81017]

Risen*

[@AzazalV]

I have ordered the Forgotten King because he looked sweet. But i am super impressed with how well these figs are made. I may have to order some of troopers. Thanks for the review Robo.

[@TagartTalking]

*long pause* THERES A DROP DOWN!" 😂 Right there with you mate!

[@RoboDontKnow]

Haha, I got a little overwhelmed these for a bit, seemed like there was so much going on! And that's a good thing!

[@TagartTalking]

@@RoboDontKnow 100%!

[@LAJohn]

Sweet looking Dracula design…. Luv the trenchcoat/coat over the “traditional” cape look and that face sculpt is fire

[@bradleylovej]

The face sculpt really is great. I'm leaning towards picking up this Dracula. Like you said, his look is nice

[@chwenhoou]

I am deeply impressed by how Fresh Monkey Fiction knocked these figures out of the park. The details, the accessories, the paint apps, and so on. I have a growing urge to pre-order the Sleepwalker Obsidian Elite Guardsmen as an army builder and jump on Dr. Caligari and Kiloworg Night Hunter. Something about characters with brains in jar heads and werewolves with miniguns pushes my buttons.

[@RedSpider004]

FANTASTIC army builders, very imaginative, great accessories, and outstanding articulation. Thanks for sharing! Street Humans, take notes.

[@dave52g]

That neck hinge with ball at the lower neck is so good!

[@RoboDontKnow]

It really really is.

[@ThatGenericPyro]

Especially with those werewolf soldiers coming soon (and anyone else that warrants an exposed neck)!

[@prophet924]

Holy crap! These are freaking cool! $37 a fig? I may sample. I got the translucent Forgotten King as he’s just sweet and glows in the dark. Looking at what you showed I like em all. Dracula is the least interesting of them all. That’s a shame. I have a very cool Dracula figure. I may hold out for another version. Forgotten King looks even better with paint. Now he’ll have an astral plane variant. I’m leaning toward him and a few soldiers as my sample. Love the Vampire soldier. Looks great. Love the crimson shadow guy. The green guns and eyes look cool and I see vampires with blood red eye. I’m torn. I’m just going to sample I think. The later figures like wolves and Halloween boy are enticing. This line does just grab you. It’s like epic story telling pieces from Universal monsters in a steam punk sci fi adventure. Great first look.

[@aliteralchad7128]

These look absolutely incredible

[@armoriya]

Thank you, Robo, for an early sneak peek and thorough review of this amazing new line of action figures from FMF! World building will be on a new level for a lot of collectors! 👍🏾💪🏾👑🦍

[@rokkieteller5421]

Third party giving us what big companies can’t. Excited to get some of these

[@therealunclassified]

I think the licensing was up and companies grabbed parts of the line. That valadork took the name, this company doing red shadow troopers iron blood etc etc then another company has the Roboskull

[@rokkieteller5421]

@@therealunclassified I noticed that too. Honestly I’m happy to buy both red shadow troopers from both companies so I can mix and match and put them together. That’s the joy of being a toy collector.

[@therealunclassified]

@rokkieteller5421 yup. All joining cobra. Well, I'm not into the valaverse. But this monster line is good for making action force and the main line this company has. If I remember correctly this company has a normal.line and the monster line.

[@rokkieteller5421]

@@therealunclassified yes they have these monster force crimson moon. And a Crimson moon line with werewolves. I’m planning to get the whole wave. I do plan to put them next to the Action Force figs as even the original creator has said he would love to see these two together as he sees both lines to be a continuation of each other.

[@therealunclassified]

@rokkieteller5421 valaverse action force ain't even action force though. If they were, I'd bite. He just owns the name. It's not really action force.

[@Ezilla82]

Thanks Robo and now the waiting for Dracula and Forgotten King (in my universe I dubbed him K'harotep) to get in stock at BBTS.

[@vadoraid2517]

Impressive detail & accessories

[@autodecapitation]

These are dangerously good looking. I cannot dive into a whole new line but these are super tempting.

[@juepuctaGZ]

FMF rocks. 6in is not my scale but this same thoroughness and attention to detail has been present in their 4in figures since the start. these look great!

[@ultratoa]

Love finding out about new lines! Definitely gonna pick up a few of these!

[@gregoryschmerber9478]

These look fricking amazing!! Thankfully already preordered from BBTS

[@andrewglidewell2699]

Nocturnal operations are completely normal for a growing boy.

[@Roadpigjohn]

Those figures are looking great Robo. I pre-ordered the Crimson Moon wave...😃👍💡

[@rokkieteller5421]

Same here. I might add these in the list

[@nisher3464]

Nope...can't do it. Can't start another line....as I'm pre-ordering 😂 These are freaking amazing!!!

[@ChrisH77]

I haven't experienced as much thrilling nailbiting tension of suspense in any prior toy review as whilst watching this and waiting to find out whether or not Robo would clock the extra shotgun shelled pouch was also a flapped holster!

[@wsugj]

These are nicer than I thought they would be. Now, I have to get a few.

[@musicandactionfigures]

Robo delivered the goods again by being the first to drop a review for these amazing figures! Thanks to FMF for levelling the (action figure) playing field! ❤️💯⭐🍺🤘

[@RoleKeeper]

I've been waiting for these, since Joe fest 2 years ago, They look awesome. I'm All In cant wait to have them join my Classified and Action Force Ranks on my shelves.

[@rokkieteller5421]

Same here man. They will look great with both lines

[@Lee86THUNDER]

Great figures and nice price point. Well done

[@RoboDontKnow]

Especially with all the extras the trooper builders come with, lots of value involved!

[@sethquigley5136]

For me, I think I would mainly get the Forgotten King and Dracula. Maybe Van Helsing later.

[@AndresAnLozadaLopez]

14:34 is it just me, or his face is sparkling... Beautiful? THIS IS THE SKIN OF A KILLER, BELLA

[@ThatGenericPyro]

I love how HYDRA-esque the green & black/red troopers feel, they'd look really nice next to a good Cap & Red Skull! $30+ for an army builder is a tall ask (for me at least) but it's nice to see you get what you pay for with all those accessories

[@TheIceManCustoms]

Very cool figures and it screams rabbit-hole! But I will take the Robo philosophy of just standing here and watch while others enjoy the line. Looking forward to Wave 2.

[@Normal6755]

Glad I ordered 17 of these figures.

[@Iodine74]

Gotta say I'm impressed with the details, and I'm still on that first group of soldiers. Paint apps are very cool that they've done on the weapons and hoses and such.

[@Iodine74]

Holy carp... they've got the round of the magazine painted?! Wow.

[@Blitz0065]

I pre-judged this when I first saw them online a few months ago. Now, after I've seen them in person at Joefest and watching this video with more context, I think I'm very interested in them.

[@ryanlbowman]

I pre-ordered this entire wave when it initially went up, and I'm glad to see that they turned out really well. I think I'll be combining these with my Action Force and GI Joe Classified on my shelves. Probably Joe and AF supplementing these guys, as I like the fantasy aspect of Monster Force over the more standard Military vs Terrorist organization. looking forward to getting these and future waves. Thanks for the great review!

[@yellowmartian]

I want Halloween Boy. He just seems interesting and is a complete reuse...but orange and black which is one of my favorite color schemes.

[@megagraymon8094]

Woah Robos got that exclusive coverage haha

[@yoyodynetoys]

i'm not much of a modern 6 inch collector, but these are fantastic - the modularity and customization possibilities are really wonderful - very thoughtful and well considered design work !!! *runs off to BBTS*

[@megagraymon8094]

What a great review of all these figures. I’m definitely gonna pick a couple up

[@iamjuliusdowney]

Your video review confirms for me how awesome this line is going to be. Thanks.

[@Capo357]

I can’t wait for Dracula

[@EonStormcrow]

I was planning to get some of the figures for either customs, army builders, or to fudge them into other lines. But, based on the text on the back of the boxes, I genuinely want more of this story. It sounds like a film out of the eary 2000's ala Hellboy/Van Helsing/Underworld that my 13-year old self used to consume on repeat.

[@matotoole3791]

So glad I got a bunch of these, can’t wait, the smaller gun goes in the holster in the fist removable section on the vest you took off

[@caseysmith3329]

Dang it Robo! I canceled my pre-orders for this line b/c I didn’t want to add yet another line, but my goodness do they look good and have so many accessories! 🤩

[@JBTMR]

Wooo can’t wait to get these in hand. Thank you sir robo for the review!

[@DylanboyWonder]

I don't collect 1/12 anymore but gah damn, this makes me want to. Fresh monkey also does 1/18 and I'm currently waiting on my Frank Walsh figure. Excited to see what comes with it now.

[@BTT16]

Man these are badass!! I love the story, and the infusion of ancient vs modern. I think a taller body for Dracula and the Lost King would make them seem more intimidating.

[@househendoe7549]

With Crimson Moon as the follow up line next year. I'm sure FMF will secure the Paranormal Military niche that's been missing any love in 1/12 and 1/18!

[@primarch40K]

Hi Robo I was all in from the start. Their great story telling, giving us updates, really tied me into the lore.( Hope we get more) Appreciate the great review, and your enthusiasm when it comes to all things toys. Thank you

[@ToyKennections]

Love it. FMF and BBTS doing some great things here.

[@theguardian3431]

These look awesome! Dammit, Uncle Robo! You've just convinced me to get all of these! 😅

[@karanupadhyay156]

Thanks so much for this video!! Been waiting for these after the pre order was released. Glad I ordered 2 of the best color scheme variants from this line- Nocturnal Ops & Heavy Weapons Div ❤❤❤ Very appreciable how these guys have designed them. Its really like showing the mirror to Hasbro. Can't wait for BBTS's pre-order arrival notification 😅😅

[@cardsfanboy]

I bought about half this line, mostly the flashier figures, but having seen this review, I'm really tempted to army build, simply because Fresh Monkey Fiction did army builders right.

[@alekhidell4925]

Damn that Delta Red is 🔥🔥 So good.

[@emilianotype-g6877]

Man Drácula fit make me thing of the HELL FIRE CLUB

[@nizwanmarzuki]

Been watching you talked about this line week after week. Now revewing this in a wave is madness...

[@BDogCarter]

These are so cool, the bonus stuff for the army builders is awesome! Can’t wait

[@davido.p.9850]

The paint apps and the accessories make these worth every single penny. I was skipping this line, but...... Dang.

[@jacobfoster9185]

These are just AWESOMENESS SQUARED ❤😂

[@thegillman777]

These turned out so amazing! I had planned on just getting Dracula, but dang if I don't find myself wanting the vampire troops and the Sleepwalker soldiers! The Sleepwalkers would look really cool in a Marvel Legends display as elite Hydra Troopers, and the vampires would look great squaring off against Blade. The fact that they can slot in to so many different lines is wonderful, and I love the interchangeable aspect that lends to customization. The reuse doesn't bother me a bit, as they managed to really make each figure stand out on their own. The paint apps alone are worth the price, but when you add in alternate heads and what-not, it really seems like a bargain.

[@jasonfain8912]

I had only ordered 3 of wave 1 . I'm all in now

[@twoquestionmarks]

Ha! I had them all preordered and now Im at only 3 with this wave.

[@MAGEtvPTB]

...no, Mister Robo, to answer your question, there IS nothing cooler than Black...

[@therealunclassified]

Pretty sure i grabbed a few things from this line. Def grabbed some from the other line.

[@fightincodenames481]

Splatter Punk for the WiN!!! Good one Robo .

[@seeballc]

Bought the vampire troops for Blade villains. My Ramen Racer, with Blade Diorama is gonna look sweet with these and 2 valaverse vanguards.

[@itsdantaylor]

This Monster Force is getting a 'werewolf' figure which will be done essentially as a collab with Furay Planet. Essentially a re-color of Veteran Williams with new accessories. Would love to see more reviews of Furay planet figures.

[@jediknutt620]

I’m in for some potential fodder and the (not) Red Shadows.

[@marklawson2004]

You can forgive all the reuse even more so than usual with all those paint apps! Great to finally see these in hand. Seems like theyve been on pre order for years!

[@jmayimbe]

Great review as always Robo! And man I am so glad I preorder this last year I can wait!!!!

[@artofgarduno]

Need the whole line. That dracula is a must have and will look so good with my Loosecollector Werewolves. That Boss Fight Studio Red Sonja pail skin bloody variant will look good with this undead line.

[@princebloodgrave8097]

We NEED a Fresh Monkey Robo. ;) :D

[@buzzsawgr81]

I like some of the upcoming zombie troopers. it's kinda hard to find good 1/12 scale zombies.

[@bossbradley]

This line looks great!

[@knightraxus0185]

Love the action force red shadows nod (thats more out right than a "nod" lol)

[@brycevo]

I hope they get a reptillian Gillman set

[@johnny10grasp3]

I like the way you do your reviews.

[@RidiculousThoughts]

Ooh, with Dracula I see a custom Mister Sinister alternate head! Just paint it white and put a read diamond on it and bam!

[@Crim222]

Thoxe gas mask skull heads would look cool on cobra BATS

[@chrisbaxter5038]

I can't wait for this series

[@scruffynerd84]

Wow the amount of accessories per figure seems well worth $37 price point. May have to pick up a few these just to check them out myself.

[@BenjaminElam-vd6ty]

Gonna have to add that Van Helsing to my G.I. Joe display

[@fuzzybluedemon6083]

I'm incredibly excited for these! But a little scared by all the extra stuff I'm gonna have to store once i get my order in... Great review, I've been eager to see these in hand since Power Con!

[@RoboDontKnow]

I just put these in a smaller bin to store until I get some display space and the extras take up more room than the figures, haha!

[@MyBeckley]

They had me at Tactical Vampires

[@tylerrichlen3286]

This got me so stoked for these. As a monster fan, these just call to me.

[@ET_Dressed_Human]

I want these so bad. I want the demon, secret agents.
