Action Force by Valaverse

Is series 4 the ones with the Red Scare robot figures?

Thats a big car. It looks alright and works well in his story line. I’d rather buy two VAMPs for the cost but that’s me.

I like his Swarm figures. I got the red and yellow one. Is that glow in the dark one an exclusive already offered or one coming you can preorder?

His weapons packs do look nice. I’ve broken a few. I kind of like a little flex. 

I tend to just ignore the videos by him or his entourage and will watch those of other collectors commenting on his product to get an idea. Some of his figures are cool and work in my collection.

I’m fervent in my support of Classified, warts and successes.

Thwipp!

As far as I can tell, Wave 4 is just gas masks, ghillie suits, and a whole bunch of repaints.

Maybe troop building is the real money-maker for Action Force and he's leaning into that, but I'm really jonesing for some new characters. 

Atlas, Sidewinder, and Lt.Hyun all seem interesting, but what I really want to see is more Garrison troops. They're Kerak and Bone Collector's troops so I thought they'd be a bigger deal, but they've been totally eclipsed by the Swarm variants.

Yeah, I don't pay close attention and I thought series 4 would have some new characters as well. There's still a lot of good for what's being released. Really like the Arctic color scheme and the GID Swarm Trooper. 

Wasn't expecting the sniper to be $50+ but there is a lot there and I'm sure I'll pick it up.

And I like that head set a lot more than I thought I would. Being able to see the eyes on the gas mask heads really takes them up a notch. They look so much better than just something with painted visors.

That's all its supposed to be. Wave four was supposed to just be a SDS release originally and not a main wave but it's big enough to be its own thing and kill a little time before the next wave with lots of new tooling this spring/summer

@prophet IIRC the robots are the next wave (not the one coming today). The glow int he dark Swarm trooper is new for wave 4.

I just pulled trigger on Tracer DLX Swarm guy. I did have another idea with the wings and seeing how they look with Hasbro Adaptoid. Just a side thought. 

I’m spoiled by $4 shipping with BBTS. Not bad at $8.

Thwipp!

@prophet I grabbed the tracer and a couple of head packs, though I think I'm only keeping the black and green heads from those so if anyone would like to get the others cheap once they come in let me know.

New wave up on Big Bad: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?HideSoldOut=true&PageSize=50&SortOrder=New&Company=1065&o=1

Also the BBTS Exclusive Arctic Steel Brigade figure is available as well:

I think I'll spend the 2 extra dollars to go with this arctic  troop builder instead of the Steel Brigade one:

Interesting development, Mark Weber who previously brand managed both Joe and Transformers is now Manager of Operations for Valaverse

Ooh,  you pictured the two most interesting ones.     I like Col. Siege well enough too.    Atlas and Sidewinder look a tad generic and soft to me.    Not sure what it is.    Honestly Senshi without the samurai mask elements looks pretty plain too.   But with the mask on that's pretty cool.  

Man... 5 years ago I would NOT have predicted the toy soldier display taking over my collecting habit -  but with Classified,  Operation Monster Force and Valaverse  there's a lot of cool stuff happening.

@panthercult I used to be good with a budget lol Classified has destroyed that and led to me picking up adjacent lines!

Expensive week this week even if I haven't been charged yet for anything. Gonna wait till these go up on BBTS though. In for Senshi and several of Praetorian Guard. Skipped most of the early named heroes besides Condor and Eclipse so I'll probably sit out Siege, Atlas, and Sidewinder. I'll maybe pick those up during the black friday sale if they're still around.

I'd like to see the new generic troopers wearing the gear before I make a decision on them. They're a the green and black of z-force so they'll make great company for all the red shadows I've ordered

I usual dip my toe in for Valaverse. I wanted a Praetorian robot killing machine when I first saw it. I ordered one to check it out. 

I like the more sci-fi for these figs. Swarm troopers and a Scarab so far with Condor and Sarge. I may actually have enough Valapoints for an Undercover Condor one I get this new one. 

I’m going to the Grapevine Joes and Toys show. I wonder if I bring my points can I redeem them there. I’ll probably try to get the 100th figure Bone Collector. 

Thwipp!
