THE FIELD 62: UNBOXING VALAVERSE VANGAURD/ ADDING GRID-IRON STUDIOS ACESSORIES TO MY VAMP 🔥 ❤️ 🔥

‪@thesavageland8815‬

[@citadelli]

I do like the way the Vamp looks except a couple things. I probably would have gotten one if they didn’t keep selling out in minutes. Why don’t they have faith in their products? It should have been a regular release, at least enough for like bbts. Vamp was my fav in 82 through the line, and Clutch was my absolute favorite because he had a beard like most of the 70s Joes. I already printed a couple good Vamps and they’re fairly outfitted. Maybe not as clean as Hasbro or the grid stuff. But lots cheaper 😂 works for me though. I do want to get a Vanguard in the future. Just an economic dip at the moment. Sigh. Food costs too much 😢

[@citadelli]

I’m sure can get find stuff to customize some light up for cheap. Betting others will do it shortly with tutorials. Nothing wrong with a dab of glue for those bullet belts lol. Cheers bro.

[@thesavageland8815]

Man, food is way too high

[@tonys_figs]

Gotta cop that roll cage brother! U did some different things with the lights, but I haven't scrolled into the other comments yet. 👊🏼😉

[@thesavageland8815]

Man, when you were on that livestream. You sold this to me, lol 😆. I'm satisfied, I have a few more pieces to get for this masterpiece. Your buddy's over at Gridiron out did themselves with these upgrades.

[@tonys_figs]

@thesavageland8815 Yeah Quaid is insane bro. He's Mark's eldest son and lead designer. I wasnt gonna get but maybe 2 upgrades for it at first, but after them damn wheels dropped...I had to go BEAST MODE 😆😆😆. The shit aint cheap, but it's so much fun, and u can level it up anyway u want. 👊🏼

[@hyperdrivecollections6460]

I definitely agree, this vehicle falls a little short of the price point. I love the model and the style, but the features are lacking. Definitely should have a pop open hood, a detailed engine compartment and maybe a few more features on the inside. I still like it though and I kind of want one for a custom. Thanks for the good honest review, I appreciate it.

[@thesavageland8815]

All of those components make up a special project. This truck had none, solid truck but lackluster

[@SoldadoColeccionista8927]

You always kill with those dioramas. My problem with Gridiron is the same, their stuff looks amazing but I think is too expensive. Maybe one day I give it a try!! Great video!!

[@thesavageland8815]

Appreciate it! I try to put some thought into how I position those dioramas. That's why I did the payment plan, I can't do it all at once.

[@SoldadoColeccionista8927]

@@thesavageland8815 I didn’t knew about the payment plan until you mentioned it, so I might give a try on a few items. I was happy with my Vanguards and expressed it on my review until you started to point out those missing details!!!!!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@thesavageland8815]

@SoldadoColeccionista8927 it's a solid truck. But for a big ticket item, there is more to be desired, especially inside. Yeah, you can do a payment plan option through Klarna every two weeks

[@MythonThePython]

Really enjoyed this video and hearing your thoughts. I’m not a fan of the Grid Iron upgrades, the Vamp as is looks great to me. As far as the Vanguard, I love it in desert tan. With the .50 cal turret on top, it looks like a future forward “Humvee-like” gun truck, which fits what I want it for in battling the Swarm. The stealth grey one definitely doesn’t fit with the turret, and your idea for its use as more of a CIA/covert ops truck makes total sense. Look forward to seeing some diorama setups using both trucks! Stay blessed, one ❤️.

[@thesavageland8815]

Appreciate it, fam. I definitely will be putting both of them to work.

[@billierenfro705]

Good video as usual. I love Gridiron products, I’ve ordered from them quite a few times so far since I got into the Classified line. I got that rear gunner set and the roll cage and love it, I like how they make the platform and seat look weathered. I plan on getting a couple of sets of those tires you got…I want one set for one of my open Vamps and one set for one of my open Stingers. I like keeping at least one vehicle completely stock and then upgrade the other one.

[@thesavageland8815]

Yeah, I'm going to grab a set of five wheels and just a front brush guard for my stinger. Should look sick

[@billierenfro705]

@@thesavageland8815 that will look great bro…..are you going to do any tires for the Ferret or no? I’m probably waiting to do those, like you talked about, their stuff is expensive so I’m choosing to do the tires on the Vamp or Stinger first.

We definitely have choices now

[@stevenboyd3756]

Great video. Got one Vamp and my Stinger is coming tomorrow. That Gridiron stuff is awesome. You can really change the whole look of your vehicles. The Vanguard is a nice piece, but @ $200 it should have an opening hood and working headlights.

[@AlphaProto]

For sure. Those features would have added more play value. Could set up cool night shot displays, or some one working on the vehicle with those options.

[@machineman6498]

Solid point on the Vanguard roof accessories. It’s a real world armored car. Loose the gun and trick it out! Might be partly the fans fault for calling it a tank and skewing expectations. Honestly if it was a little cheaper, it would make for a good DIY starting point.

[@thesavageland8815]

Nuff Said

[@Rakerong]

I think the turret looks more appropriate on the tan version. Still an armored car but more built for hostile warzones in the desert and fitted with military arms. But this is why I dig the Vanguard. The options are there in a basic set, with more on the way. That solves the issue of the winch, just replace it with any of the new front bumper parts coming out!

[@victoryLeo1]

I want to use the grey Vanguard as a Shield vehicle.

[@kngnyc]

I have 2 Vamps. Kept one stock and the other one tricked out with the Gridiron accessories. Copped the tan and grey Vanguards. They're cool but I would've rather some lights and sounds for the price. Definitely running low on space for vehicles.

[@thesavageland8815]

Same here on vehicles. moving forward, we will have to cherry-pick. I think the tan ended up being the better of the two colors.

[@kngnyc]

@@thesavageland8815 I did like you. My grey one is like civilian/Special Forces vehicle. The tan one is for my desert troops.

[@SameTimeToys]

First thing last. That Outback with the punisher shirt is dope!!! Thanks for showing how the vamp goes together lovin the accessories you picked that thing is 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯. As usual great video!!

[@thesavageland8815]

Appreciate it!! I thought I would go through putting them on because I believe a lot of people are getting these tires

[@thesavageland8815]

Perfect truck for them

[@Grievance75]

Solid review

[@JacynGiest]

🔥Wasn't expecting you to cover the Vanguard or any of the gridiron stuff! I passed on the Vanguard for the very reasons you called out. Looks good as a civilian or covert ops vehicle but personally not feeling it for straight up military purposes. At that price point, I would just rather get something else that stands out more and has better features. Or upgrade my Stinger lol. Really happy for everyone who is enjoying theirs though. Hopefully, his future vehicles will continue to build on what he has done here. Oh and be careful of the Gridiron rabbit hole lol. I got a few items a few years back just to see what the hype was about and now I stay buying stuff whenever they have one of their sales.

[@thesavageland8815]

Appreciate your view and comments. I ordered from gridironstudios about two years ago for the alley viper load out. Great company, just really not my thing, but I'm glad I picked those vamp accessories. It definitely gives your vehicle a custom quality feel.

[@hussles]

Fam I’ve been on the fence with all the gridiron products too. Aesthetically the stuff looks beautiful too bad price point is just so ugly. But I get it supply and demand is a hell of a thing. I just might cave in soon…. Vamp upgrade on the way lol

[@thesavageland8815]

Yeah, it's way expensive, but I decided to pull the trigger on this. It's probably once in a lifetime. Literally, I would do this 😆

[@tfhustler]

Thank you for this video. That Vanguard Grey goes nice with the Stinger!

[@Blitz0065]

[@thesavageland8815]

NICE! Have fun my friend

[@lenscrivanich1885]

You know your 100% right. This looks great as a urban assault vehicle for CIA, SWAT or Night Force because that's what it is. It didn't need machine gun or missiles on top. Trying to make it be something it's not. It actually looks better in gray. See you when all in with the Vamp upgrades. It looks dope! Your video was long but the content was great! Thanks!

[@thesavageland8815]

Thank you for watching, sir.

[@liquididentity101]

Gridiron kits are fancy luxuries. I almost pulled the trigger twice, especially after seeing the wheel replacements. Ultimately, it's either a whole new fig, or one nifty modification. Most kits I can't justify, the price but I can't deny they look cool as hell; even something as "simple" as the rollbar in back. Sad to see the wheel color doesnt match the Vamp, and the tires are harder plastic... seem a bit too wide.

[@thesavageland8815]

I think a lot of people be on the fence because of price, and I don't blame them

[@rokkieteller5421]

I did a bit of math on them where if you were to get every single upgrade for the Vamp from Gridiron. You’d be looking at spending over $350 on top of the vamp. And that’s not to say you get the turret variants which adds more money.

[@thesavageland8815]

@@rokkieteller5421 pretty much, it can get expensive

[@antbro8946]

I'll take vanguard over vamp/stinger if I had to get one. Got stinger 2 days after vanguard..100 percent underwhelmed until I realized they were 2 different vehicles. I got room for both. I won't be payment planning and vamp upgrades. But man grabbing them big wheels. Set-up is straight fire.

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

For Valaverse's first vehicle I think the Vanguard is cool. Are there features left to be desired on the Vanguard, of course, but I like what we got for the price. Your table setup is dope bruh. Bit by bit I am slowing building my own table for figures and vehicles. That upgrade to the VAMP is really nice too. Really wish that I had backed the HISS Tank but I got cold feet on it. I plan on getting the Stinger too. I just think its about time that toy companies started putting out 1/12 scale vehicles. Now we don't have to search high and low on the internet for vehicles. Japan has had many vehicles but usually they were either sold out or no longer in production.

[@thesavageland8815]

I'm glad we have a huge range of vehicles to choose from

[@ItsJGonzo]

I can’t say it enough, that table is so dope!!! Do you wish we had stuff like this when we were kids? We were too broke to have it but man it would have been so awesome! I remember cutting up cardboard boxes and using any kind of tape I could find to make rooms and anything that worked as a playset. Your table is what my imagination was seeing but in reality it was a few old boxes and a couple empty gym shoe boxes stacked. Thank you again for sharing Sir. 💯🔥🫡🤙🏽👏🏽

[@AlphaProto]

For sure. When I was a kid watching the G I Joe commercials I always wished I had a play area like they had. The best I could do was the backyard.

[@jukeboxhero_21]

Definitely will look into getting those tires for my Stinger. You put in that work for this video, Savage.

[@thesavageland8815]

Those tires on stinger would be fire 🔥

[@Rakerong]

I think that the hood should have been able to open as well, though it's not a deal breaker for me. It's just that seeing how the other parts that come off or move on the Vanguard can be swapped out with other stuff either that came with it or coming up in a future pack, this was a missed opportunity. But again, not a deal breaker for those who are using it as a shelf piece and more often than not, it's going to be in motion and driven with a group of Action Force troops following it.

[@AlphaProto]

I think the Vala car needs more paint. There was some chrome at least on the rims that would set it off. Some panel lining or a wash would really set it off.

[@thesavageland8815]

Agreed

[@Rakerong]

Same. But it's an easy enough fix especially if you're an action figure collector and have to do this for Marvel Legends, Transformers, etc. Companies need to realize that a great sculpt is pointless if it's not even painted to bring out all those details.

[@scottyphillips7799]

I’m definitely digging this, I’m gonna just bite the bullet and pay out for the Vamp. I can’t wait to see everything they come out with for the Stinger. I know they have released some stuff but I wanna see more.

[@MotuGuru75]

Cool reviews and good talk, man. I really dig your style and vibe. I'm on the fence with the Vanguard. I'm close to pulling the trigger on it, but space is a premium. Gotta be picky if you feel me. I think I'd rather trick out my Vamp and save the space for the Ramen Toys van, but we shall see. You got a new subscriber though! Keep em coming.

[@thesavageland8815]

Appreciate the view and comments, fam. I'm getting to the point where space is going to be an issue. That van is 🔥, I don't blame you for holding out, it's definitely more bang for buck.

[@crashspike22]

the gridiron stuff looks cool but the price point is a bit out of my range. Although, that gun almost changed my mind. The Vanguard is 200 dollars? I had no idea...

[@thesavageland8815]

It likes $190, so basically 200 bucks

[@ChapsUnlimited]

The roof lights mount directly to the roof rack. They also are intended to hang down. Those two brackets you put the lights on are to mount Grid Irons backpacks to the rear roll bar.

[@jaysfigz]

I also do things the long headed way. 🤣🤣. I’ve been on the fence about those grid iron kits but I might pick some up. They look pretty dope.

[@Stygian360]

I've watched all of the major reviews and knew full well what I was getting into when I ordered mine, but I had to have one of the muddy versions of the Vanguard

[@MrMADGUS]

I wish that Billion Dollar Company would do a payment plan for their Haslabs. $50 Bucks a month would be Kool. You figure six months of payment then six months of interest earned. Also too they be leaving a lot of money on the table by wanting monies up front. I'm not for all the accessories but we felt the same about them tires. I have to look into them.

[@thesavageland8815]

It's ten months' payment and two months interest .Vangaurd was $190, and by the end of the year, $230. Not bad over a years time. It would be good if haslab had that option.

[@rbalines78]

i hope gridiron makes items for the vanguard, i have bought many things from gridiron studios and love it but gets pricey. I want to buy those tires best thing is whatever you bought for the Vamp will work for the Cobra Stinger which I just go in yesterday. Can't wait to open it.

[@thesavageland8815]

Yeah, same way with gridironstudios for me. Once in a blue moon, I'll get something. I'm very satisfied with the result. On the stinger, I'm just going to do the five tires and front brush gaurd

Gridiron draws me in just a little more each purchase. I bought the big tires. I had already got some doors from Etsy along with a platform in back to stand a gunner. I’m curious what special mods they offer for Stinger. I want a mean brush guard upgrade, bigger spikes. I’d be curious how they can redesign the back. That back roll cage is sweet. I may pick it up. The jack and spare for those tires looks good. I didn’t like skeleton doors. The open look is okay. I’ve got two VAMPs so one is my upgrade guinea pig. The other I leave as is. It’s fun to upgrade but I’ve put a limit. It can’t cost more than the vehicle. So I’m ok. I have another $40 I can spend on the VAMP. I did the same with Stinger. I have two. One to play around with. The other to stay as is. May start with new tires. I may wait to see what else they come up with.

[@thesavageland8815]
