Great review. While i haven't bought any of the troop builders i enjoyed the figures that i got so far. Hoping to buy the different Steel Brigades and the SWARM troopers soon as well as guys like Trigger, Kerak, Blowback, Eclipse. Like you Mike, when it comes to figures i usually prefer the best looking version of the character. I'm happy with default Condor that i have since he's the one that caught my eye when Bobby launched his kickstarter in 2019. Most collectors like Sarge but for me Condor is what Duke should have been from the start in both the vintage and the CLASSIFIED version. I already have Bone Collector and Pandora as well as Tony Roberts now all i need is Captain Barnes' BFF and wingman. I do want that Infantry Commando, Urban Commando as well as the head packs and weapons packs.
Thanks, Stephen. Sounds like you’re collection is off to a good start. Hopefully you’re able to get the other figures you’re after without much difficulty.
@@Hylandboy1 Hopefully Mike. I admit that the troop builders are getting that hard to find in the after market since they sell out faster than the regular characters which surprised me. In most toylines it's usually the main characters that quickly sell out. Hoping to get Sgt Austin Buchanan, Rollout, Eclipse and Blowback.👍👍
@@stephenhabacon6380 I’m surprised to hear the troops are more difficult to find as well. Happy hunting. Eclipse is great. I really dig the Warpath version.
Those are all pretty neat! I like that they have the multiple heads to choose from, very cool! The display bases are great too, I wish I had one for a few of my toys. Glow in the dark toys will always be my favorite I think. Or ones with really bright colours, like Slash from TMNT. Great video!
Thanks, man. The stands are great. They sell 4-packs on the Valaverse website so every time I buy a figure from them I buy a pack or two to use for my Joes.
Shame there wasn’t a little more variety in sculpt in this wave, but that doesn’t mean the figures you got don’t still look great. Good move to pass up on a few this time around.
A little variety would have been nice, one brand new figure at least. But as far as repaints go they are pretty nice. I definitely need to show a little more restraint with the collecting for a while. This hobby ain’t cheap.
@@Hylandboy1 13 main named characters. Good and bad factions. Everything else is an army builder. 13 named main characters in five years. It’s kind of ridiculous.
@@CHUCK235 if I was only collecting this line the lack of new characters would probably annoy me too. But there are so many new Joes to keep up with that I don’t mind if this line just trickles out.

Review wasn’t too bad. I enjoyed the content. Headin to catch up on a few more.
Thanks. I appreciate it.

ARCTIC 💯👍👍👍
Every Valaverse figure is a repaint, rerelease, or reissue. There hasn’t been new figures or new character’s in this line in two years.
Mostly true but Gemini was a new character. I didn’t buy her though because I didn’t like the yelling head.
