Valaverse's convention exclusive Series 5 Pandora is bringing the party to you!

[@mlseries2553]

1:00 “As you can see here… we have this image of her firm….” My eyes got real big😂😂😂

[@davidr8389]

Great review. The biker body looks great. The new head sculpts look terrible (my opinion). Especially when you compared to the original Pandora. I will probably replace the head with the Pandora upgrade kit one when I get this.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

I'll take some photos of her with that upgrade head once I'm back from the convention.

[@barbarianlostatsea]

Thanks!

[@VConley]

Always glad for your reviews. Thanks again for picking up a few things for me.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

My pleasure!

[@RoleKeeper]

I'm not a fan of the overly expressive head sculpts but the figure itself is top notch, and I got a bloody one. Glad I drove up to Legionscon.

[@enderackham]

Pandora is one of my favorite recent characters in toylines. This version looks amazing and look forward to the opportunity to get her.

[@gtoney]

Nice,, face sculpt nah... overall cool. Great Review ✨️😎🔥

[@gtoney]

Have to go with the original head

[@Rakerong]

I can't wait to get this figure. I think the headsculpts are gonna take some getting used to. I feel like maybe some stray hairs framing the face might have helped a bit but you know, the extreme punk look with the super expressive faces and heavy makeup could be a look. Def want the white version as well,

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

@@Rakerong yeah man I agree with you 100% on the idea of making her a little disheveled maybe kind of a you know a little bit of an action and kind of a manic look as she gets more and more I guess you want to say unhinged or or in the the moment of things I would love to see some expressive hands with her devil you know doing the devil's forks or something. Like I said I think it's going to be a very interesting conversation with fans once they actually have her in hand and see the faces. I just can't wait to see what people are going to do with her yeah I can't wait for the White version info to be released by Bobby so we can get action points back into his hands and that white version of this figure in ours. Thank you so much for the comment I really appreciate it

[@Rakerong]

@@junkioncraftsandbuilds Expressive hands would be dope! I know they have a hand set planned for the future but I think those are just for the male figures? I hope there's one for the females. At the very least if we don't have the devil horns then we can have her flipping the bird lol. I like the idea of her getting more unhinged and manic. I think, at least for customizers, might actually make use of the racoon eyes and dark lipstick to enhance it and smear it so it looks messier.

[@trustarscreamer]

got me excited man!

[@Bxmedic33]

Great job brother nice breakdown and presentation. Sorry I missed you at Legions . I was there yesterday. Keep up the excellent reviews

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

@@Bxmedic33 hey I'm still at the con so if you're around, tap me on the shoulder and say Hi.

[@jigsawnora3207]

It looks alright I do like Gemini head sculpt but this one 🤔🤔 might grow on us the ones who buy it👍

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

@@jigsawnora3207 thanks for the comment. I plan to do an entire photoshoot with different female heads on this body I think it's really a good piece for customizers.

[@jigsawnora3207]

@junkioncraftsandbuilds I am so sorry for the typos lol! But yeah nice review I do want to get altesast two of her so I can display one sleeveless with the old Pandora arms out👍

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

@jigsawnora3207 oh dude that's a cool idea I didn't think about that I might have to try that out man

[@jigsawnora3207]

@junkioncraftsandbuilds All good 👍

[@Doesmachine87]

Skip for me head sculpts are bad and not that interesting accessories, although it really looks good with the old head

[@ucitymetalhead]

The head has a "cartoony" look and her hair looks weird, kinda like a piece of pumpkin.

[@sherwoodcrump3716]

Good review! Thanks for posing it.

[@traviswilcox3472]

I think the “snarl” face is the best of the two. It denotes her more punk attitude. The smile isn’t working. Overall the leather (not pleather) jacket & pants is a nice variation to Pandora.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Wow, I did say pleather? Too much con on the brain when I was working on this. I see what you mean with the look. Lol now I want a pair of hands making the devil sign

[@Rakerong]

100% agreed, the snarl face is prob going to be the go to face for me. I think maybe even using the head sculpt that came in the Pandora add on kit with the licking lips would work for this punk biker look.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Yeah that's probably going to be one of the first things I do this coming week is after the 1000 subscriber celebration stream tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m. I'm probably going to take the rest of the week and really get to mess with series 5 and some of the other pickups that have been piling up in my workshop to actually get into the cycle of filming and editing and putting it up here on KZbin so I definitely want to finish out 2024 really providing the content that I want to see and hopefully viewers will want to see as well. So yeah thank you again for the comment and hopefully you'll see this version of Pandora on the valiverse website to purchase soon.

[@Rakerong]

@@junkioncraftsandbuilds Awesome! I am looking forward to it since I want to see how that headsculpt is on the biker body. Will hope she goes up on the site for order soon, I'm still on an Action Force high after getting Series 5 in and messing with them.

[@lawrencehoward8565]

I want one

[@omarmoreno3758]

it's a great Harley Quinn figure.

[@Nemoda20]

I love the body. I will hold my full judgment on the heads till i get it in my hand. Original Pandora was such an awesome balance of Beauty mixed with creepy/scary. From the pictures i seen, and your video i have a feeling that balance is off and more went in to the creep/scary side. I assume the arms still can't be popped out with heat. I also wonder how she looks with out the floaty belt and the gun holsters. Looking forward to get one for my self.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Just checking back with you to see if you picked up either the black or white variant of Pandora and hear your opinion.

[@Nemoda20]

@@junkioncraftsandbuilds Im from Hungary so all my options are very slow XD But i have a black version on its way and i can't wait to get my hands on it. It should arrive in the beginning of February. I will get back to you :)

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

@Nemoda20 well welcome to you. I'll hold ya to it with letting me know what you think. Do you have any socials that I can follow?

[@madmike8v72]

I like the original head better, has a Poppy Montgomery or Natalie Dormer look, but I think the new head could look good with a better face up. The smiling sculpt looks good especially the hair and braid. Good review!

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

@@madmike8v72 thank you for the kind words good news is the white variant of this figure should be out soon with a red lipstick smile versus the black goth look

[@aliteralchad7128]

How on earth has Booby vala been doing this so long and the one female looks like a robot chicken character

[@PraiseHimForever777]

The first Pandora in series 5 head is a 10 out of 10

[@robertsinfiniterealms1308]

I think I’m gonna wait on the white version for action points. Won’t say I’ll never get this one but white looks better IMO. The make up is where I think the “cartoony” look from. I’ve seen women do that so it’s not so jarring to me😂😂.

[@immortalslayer90]

When will this be available to buy on their website? It just says coming soon.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

He had her up last friday, but sold out quickly. I think the remainder of his Series 5 stock comes in at the end of this month, so I would anticipate a December reup on her and other figures in the series.

[@aliteralchad7128]

Something vala does properly is the deco i appreciate if he’s using silver paint why not hit as many tiny details with it as possible it’s just such a small amount of money to push the figure so much further. The face is just bad though

[@barbarianlostatsea]

Looks like he did put silver on all the straps, zippers, and buckles...what do you mean?

[@aliteralchad7128]

That’s what I said dude. I said it’s good that he did it and the point is that if you’re using silver paint on the figure why not use it to hit all the minor details like Vala did.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

I spoke to him about the face sculpt and the inspiration. I'll have that interview up this week. I also had a chance to talk to Articulated Ninja.

[@jediknutt620]

Harley Negan. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Good base for a biker Zarana.

[@cajuncoyote2039]

Love the buck, headsculpt not so much.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

The head sculpt is something I've gotten used to..The body is fantastic. Best part is she's available, with the white variant, on valaverse.com RIGHT NOW...so order, go ahead and order! Thanks for the comment.

[@gsg_joe]

I gotta say it again... "UTAH! GET ME TWO ✌️" Is this the one that will be available to order later this month? And the white one is the mail away with points figure, correct?

[@barbarianlostatsea]

yeah that white one looks fire...think it will be available to order soon...I'm excited

[@robcolcort8007]

The head is terrible, the body is good though

[@UnboundedSlinky]

If I do manage to snag this, I will be immediately swapping the first release head sculpt on there. I really like the body but I cannot stand that head sculpt. It should’ve been one normal face and an expressive face, not two expressive.My opinion though.

[@frankyv4570]

I’m not feeling the new sculpt

[@bcfowler82]

Super disappointed this was an exclusive. The only thing I have been interested in this line in a long while and it's a con exclusive. Not great. I really hope this becomes available on the shop.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

@@bcfowler82 hi. I would say keep an eye out for an announcement on picking up your own copy in the next week or so. And also be ready for more info on the white leather version of Pandora mail away figure. You'll have a chance to have her in hand, don't fret

[@aaroneaston8899]

I feel this is a departure of Pandora as far as the head skulpt. The body is cool. I don't want to feel like any of these "new" characters are taking ques or paying homage to existing IP such as G.I.Joe or DC comics etc. You have a blank slate to step out and do totally new characters. I dont want to see Harley, or Zarana or fill in the blank. I don't want to see declassified kits etc. You have an IP that can do something totally different.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

@@aaroneaston8899 I don't feel that this wave is taking any sort of homage from another IP. I spoke to Bobby about this head sculpt and he's said that he looked at Alexis Bliss's goth period for inspiration with this Pandora. I too said about the "Harley look" until I heard of Ms. Bliss and some images...then my view totally changed.

[@aaroneaston8899]

@junkioncraftsandbuilds WWE is still an IP, and many say Bliss is too much like Harley as well. I like the Pretorian, but they are not a far departure to the Classofied Cobra BATs. I didn't think it was necessary to do a declassified kit for Gung Ho. I also feel Senshi and Budo are too similar. I like both lines, but if I see a lot of similarity to G.I. Joe characters or other IP it's a definite pass for me.

[@oldirtydave22]

This just ain’t for me. He can do better that’s all I’m saying!

[@aliteralchad7128]

It looks so bad dude. Why would they ever decide to make her gums black for one two it looks like a robot chicken character

[@barbarianlostatsea]

At DFW, he showed the white leather variant will have red lipstick...easy swap if it bugs ya.

[@YakBat]

I really don't get Bobby sometimes. I mean how do you go from the awesome original face sculpt to that? His male figures always look like ass, but so far only Gemeni was the only goofy looking lady.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

I don't see where the sculpts look like ass, but that's one opinion. I think I'll ask him about it at the convention.

[@YakBat]

@junkioncraftsandbuilds please do. Especially for the Legend Of The White Dragon figures. What's the deal with those? Were they supposed to look like carnival caricatures drawings?

[@CHUCK235]

Another Pandora, another bone collector? Three are only three named main villains in this line can he make any new villains? Not just repaints of the same characters. The head sculpts look like ass, the first figure is 100x better. The fact that you can see the flesh tone in the sleeves of the arm is pretty bad. He had the same problem with Siege two defects in one wave. This should be an easy pass there is nothing new or innovative, she has the same out dated neck articulation too. No thanks!

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Well thank you for the comment first off. Secondly I think we are going to have more of the villains in series 6 that's something Bobby has mentioned already. As for the head Sculpts, like I said, it will be a topic of discussion amongst collectors whether they do like them or not that's why I made a point to show at least the series 3 head and I will also post some pictures on my Instagram and KZbin channel of the upgrade head with the tongue sticking out.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Now I will have to disagree with you because I don't understand where you're saying the flesh tone on the sleeves it is black plastic it's not painted over the only flesh tone you're going to see is on the torso and on the hands so I I don't see where you're talking about flesh tone I mean there's silver I think for the zipper on the forearm maybe that's what you're looking at

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Additionally we've only seen the new engineering in this wave now. I assume that we'll see that same type of engineering moving forward with both male and female body bucks it's an iterative process it's not something that you can just snap your fingers and it will magically work it takes time tooling and processing but I will ask Bobby about it when I talk to him today here at legion's con

[@Rakerong]

@@junkioncraftsandbuilds I am thinking he means the butterfly joints being the flesh tone. It's not super noticeable except for some angles like you showed in the video. But it's an easy detail to change up. Pop the jacket overlay, paint the butterfly joints black.

[@barbarianlostatsea]

@@Rakerong yeah I saw that too. looks pretty easy. I may pick up a few and make them wear sleeveless arms from Gemini...those black hand wraps with leather...oh yeah.
