@@ShartimusPrime it’s all good, dude! The listing for him in the Exclusives part of the site has him listed for $14.99, then has a long list of steps to get him so the dummies (myself included) can’t mess it up.
That isn’t a sweat band on his, it’s a bracelet made of para-cord. He may be listed as Covert Ops Condor, but us Joe fans know it’s Bobby bringing the Joe character Chuckles to market first. He’s the exact look of Chuckles, but Hawaiian shirt and tank top colors inverted. There was an AMAZING series by Mike Costs called G.I. Joe Cobra with Chuckles as the main character, and the splash page where you see him the first time, he looks exactly like this, but added sunglasses and inverted shirt colors. I’m stoked to get him.
Damn. These are awesome. Feel like these deserve their own separate reviews since it’s not like they’re a two back but just glad to see these get coverage.
Valaverse only has a few figures that are decent. Some of these are overrated & definitely overpriced. Hasbro’s Gijoe line is $24 in most places..Valaverse is selling theirs starting at over $30!
9:06 you needn't watch the show, however, read the GI Joe comics by Larry Hama. Originally published by Marvel, but not in the same Universe. Available in trade paperback reprint by IDW, now. So much better.
I missed my chance at the Covert Ops Condor when he first released, thanks to a server meltdown caused by mass internet requests. The exact same thing happened with Warpath. Each time I was right there, minute one, ready to go and....server meltdown. I tried, both times, in that same hour or two to keep trying and I just...had to go back to work. No Joke, both times a few hours later, with no real warning, the server comes back and it sells out. Bummer City. Now, they later re-listed Covert Condor and I did just recently get him. So I am hoping the same will hold true for Warpath.
Supposedly, Bobby Vala has ordered enough to cover everyone but they seem to come in batches. At present, she's sold out but will come back...some day...
He could have done a lot better. First you pay for the figure also the shipping. You have to mail out 20 action points for something you essentially paid a regular 21.99 figure for. It could have been half the action points per figure and cheaper. Just my opinion. Also yes he does look like chuckles. So it bites the Chuckles rumored at SDCC but I don’t think anyone will care. I know I’ll still be getting chuckles if possible. There’s a lot of reuse. The stubble on a head and some sunglasses on an a shirt isn’t enough to make it an exclusive especially when you’re paying for a full price figure. Let’s be real. I’m not saying I hate the way it looks I’m just saying he could have did a lot better.
These figures are really amazing - especially considering they're from an independent line. I help run a corporate / consumer PR agency in NY and would love to get in touch with Mr. Vala to discuss how to generate even greater mainstream attention for such a cool brand. Winning the loyalty of fans of globally recognized IP as an independent is no easy feat - and a really great business success story.
I like watching your videos even tho it's not something I would buy. Thank you for giving us this beautiful comunity. I'm also wondering if you get Classic Yondu Marvel Legends.
Viewing the video, will save my negative Hasbro comments till after. EDIT: Wowzers that paint job, faces and well face paints amazing. I have yet to see Hasbro do a really realistic stubble. Prices were the main reason, but seeing other companies TRY is why I stepped away from their brand.
Usually I can separate the Art from the artist and appreciate a work for what it is, but in this case that's a no. I bought series one and had two of the troopers just break trying to free up the damned hip joints. That's when the fun began trying to get 1. Replacements on this side of the pond. And 2. Any acknowledgement from Vala or his acolytes that there was even an issue at all. That demoralising and insulting experience convinced me that Dude doesn't get another penny out of me. So Chucky Chuckles and Not- Screaming Mimi here can be admired from afar, but that's it.
Condor isn't free, it's 14.99 plus shipping and 20 points on top of that.
It was free for him so he automatically thought it was free for all of us. 🙄
@@wllmdvsjrNah, dude. I looked up the site, couldn’t find proper info. I hit up Bobby privately and he didn’t mention the $15. Frustrating.

The most frustrating thing with him is you can’t bundle him with other figs. So you’re paying full shipping just for him.
Will you be at SDCC this year brother?
Yes sir!
@@ShartimusPrimeawesome! Hope to meet you there!
Damn. These are awesome. Feel like these deserve their own separate reviews since it’s not like they’re a two back but just glad to see these get coverage.
I really want that Condor, looks like he could used for an on vacation Tony Stark.

Ooooo, thanks! I'll look for the trade.
Is Valaverse a game or just figure line? They look cool but im curious on the lore
Vala has a running line of comics with developing story and character backgrounds....ACTION FORCE!.....it's time for action!
Have you got the new killmonger with changeble head
On the fence for either Warpath Eclipse or the Pandora reissue for my first Valaverse figure

I’m ordering my Condor today and will pounce and get Eclipse when she is out back up.
I forgot to add, those are not “relaxed hands” they’re gun cradling hands for the barrel of the rifles.
So that eclipse will be impossible to get?

I want that Eclipse.
Shartimus! Will you review Transformers ROTB Studio Series 102 Optimus Prime? Personally I think it's better then the SS 38 version.
How good do the female marvel legends heads fit on these action force females ?
That version of Condor reminds me a lot of Chuckles.
If there were a Chuckles figure first (I don't know) we can probably bet they used the same molds.

Condor is wearing a paracord bracelet, not a sweatband. A useful piece.

It’s Daniel Craig’s James Bond from Casino Royale lol. He’s got the same shirt on…
The screaming head definitely has a bigger nose, even taking into account flared nostrils. Good looking figure though.
That Condor is 20 action points PLUS $15.
Dammit, I thought it was free. Shit.
20 points, plus $14.99 and $8 shipping in the US.
@timvanboening9432 oh yeah that too. Lol...
@@bodydoublesecurity4987 it’s only fresh in my mind because I ordered it two or so hours ago😝😝😝😝
the rifle om eclipse is new

How can you enter for the giveaway on What Not please?
These are for dudes who say Aliens is better than Alien because its "Got better Effects"

Have you ever thought about updating your intro?

meh
Street Humans look a.i generated in the most generic way possible, hope you're not trying to peddle them for more than $19.99
These figures will offer something you've never seen a figure line do before. Stay tuned!
Scooped them at Valacon! (Aka Joe fest)......primo product and it just keeps getting better! 🔥💪🤌
