Action Force 1:12 scale figures by Valaverse

[screamingmetal]

Well I sent in my points & order form for two. Only cost one stamp. Now hoping that I did everything right.

Hi. I have 4 action points I am not using. Not much but hopefully helpful. Just message me with your mailing address and they are yours. First message gets them.

Hmmmm......
Here's Condor doing some Parkour:

Both my AF desert tan vests and Indiana Jones Sallah happened to arrive today. This works surprisingly well!

 

[BuddyGus]

Lol. That's awesome.

Got a whole mess of Valaverse and Classified in today. And I got a question. When doing gear swaps, is there a secret to getting the little knobs back in the holes on the vests?

Yes, use heat and pop the torso at the waist, that will give you easier access to the underside of the vests. Then I use one of the tines of a fork to push the holes around the pegs from the underside of the vest. Then make sure to place the belt around the waist before putting the upper and lower torso pieces back together.
That said, with the newest vests, I find I can put the vest on the figure without needing to pull the figure apart, I still use a fork to push the holes around the pegs from the underside.

 

[BuddyGus]

Thanks, SM. I’ll give that a shot.

Just watched the Valaverse presentation at Joefest. A ton of stuff coming. Most impressive was the upcoming vehicle is going to run $175-190. He also revealed a price drop by about $2 respectively on all future items. Don't see companies doing that very often. Hat tip to them.

Blowback might be in trouble....maybe.

From the Valaverse Action Force panel:

This is the Deluxe Swarm Horde Trooper that will be a Power Con exclusive. Vala said he made a lot of these and they will be available on the Valaverse website after the convention.

 

[screamingmetal]

The Rezvani Vanguard Truck will be $175-$190 and be available for pre-order for about a year once it's made available to order, estimated to release Fall-Winter of next year.
It'll come with everything in the second pic, a figure with some accessories, Turret, a couple of heavy weapons, fuel cans, blast effects. A accessory pack add-on will have the missile turret and effects.

Much respect to Vala for lowering the price a bit, and for reissuing the Urban Trooper with Gear pack included! I'm glad I only have one Urban Trooper and Urban Gear pack.

Are you making the backgrounds with a monitor? If so, it's a nice and easy effect! I still need to make some kind of background environment for displaying my figures on, then I'll have to spend a half hour removing figures so I can take pics of my newest figures in it, then another half hour putting everything back.

Yep i use a monitor., It's a bit old school but I found it offers a lot of options without having to buy/build dioramas. I have been really tempted in the past to get sets like the Star Wars walls and the like but the cost made me reconsider. And things like building a neon lit Hong Kong for the Godzilla vs Kong photos would have have been insane. Thanks for the compliment!
As for the Valaverse reveals, although I haven't purchased any Steel Brigade figures thus far, the desert and Arctic ones look great. The camo/ghilli/Sniper Blowback is a must have.
IMHO the Buddha figure was kinda out there and I didn't care for it even though I love Samurai figures.
I also am digging the Horde Swarm trooper. I may "rename" it to "Blood Hornet"

 

[BuddyGus]

I really dig the new "environment" troopers. Especially the Desert SB figure. The only off putting thing is the minty green that the arctic weapons have. But, I suppose that variety is the spice of life.

I'd like to build my dio probably out of foam, I just don't have the time or money to buy supplies.

From what was unveiled, I'm really interested in the Swarm Horde Trooper and Buddha. The new helmet and colors on the Horde figure look better than the reg Swarm or Scarab troopers. Buddha not only looks cool but, has a new vest and that face shield should cover up my biggest issue with Valaverse helmets, the missing straps along the sides of the helmet. I loved Col Siege before he got the goatee, I hope he still comes with the clean shaved heads or we'll get that on a future figure or gear pack.
I love the camo on new Blowback but..... I'm not a fan of ghillie suits in general. If done right they just look like a large mess of stuff and it would be a shame to cover all that camo up. I'd want a couple of dudes in that camo, so I'll just invest in making a small diorama and put the suits into it with a gun poking out and a head on a stick under the suit. the camo dudes will be out front and noticeable elsewhere.
And I'm all in on those desert dudes! Need a few of each!


Well, it looks like one stamp did the trick, I received a shipping notice from Valaverse for my two Undercover Condors!

 

[ragacin]

Hey. Anyone got extra file cards for the Swarm Trooper and Trigger figures? I don't keep boxes (I know this is horrific to some lol) and now have started keeping the cards since I got Eclipse, Blowback etc.

 

[BuddyGus]

Got my Condor. Much cooler in hand than I expected. I may try to grab a second.

 

[ragacin]

These are my BOOM STICKS!

Target acquired.
