Nice video. I ordered this Pandora for the body. I am also going to be swapping the head for something else and might pass on the white version. Good figure with a not so good head sculpt IMO. I might put a head from Warpath Eclipse on that body to see how that looks.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but to everyone saying we have like 5-6 Pandoras....technically we only have two. We have the original and the reissue of the same figure. One was an accessory pack with an expressive head. These two exclusives are just two diff deco colors of the same figure. I like the psycho look of these headsculpts. But I plan on repainting parts of the face.
I'm counting the reissues (Vala did for his "100 items") so we have v1, Bloody V1, Reissue of v1, this Con version, Bloody Con version, mail away and Bloody mail away
I like Pandora divorced from the cliche Steven Seagal movie origin story and the missing paint on her Joker scars. I think it's red heads and punk rock girls. I have a thing for both of those.
"What in the Harley Quinn Santa Claus shit am I lookin at here"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☠ I thought it was funny🤷♂ Yeah that head is going in the fodder bin. I got one, I'll need another reissue for the head. Great review sir.
Yeah this figure is a butter-face. I'm definitely replacing the head, maybe a Jinx (I gotta compare the skin tone) or original Pandora head too. Great review
Great review. I did order this but feel a bit dirty about it. I want the black suit biker body but both those head sculpts are trash. I will replace the head with either the original head or the upgrade kit one. He should have made one of the heads a motorcycle helmeted head. Or just have the original pandora head and one terrible head instead of two terrible ones.
It's Bobby Vala's fantasy woman, that's why we keep seeing her lol I do like the body but yeah I am going to use one of her older heads. I do like the look of the character herself (especially old head new body) but I agree with you on her back story.
Hardcore G.I.Joe fan here, I buy every single Classified release, yet I have exactly zero Action Force figures. The reasons are numerous, but the reality is that these two lines are only competitive in theory. Only thing they are better at is in the plastic they use for the weapons...
I would like to know more on why you don't like Action Force. Me personally I think they're okay but nothing amazing, more often than not I use Valaverse stuff for customs and parts, I only have 3 Action Force figures on my shelf and two of them are customs.
@@scottroxford5715 a) No nostalgia, no attachment to the characters. I grew up in Europe where G.I.Joe was actually called Action Force in the 80s, yet these characters have no relation to the brand. Just some guy snatching the naming copyrights of lapsed Hasbro properties and slapping them on his unrelated toy line. b) That same guy, Vala, is a very unlikable personality, deeply biased by his own, subjective views and experiences and projects that constantly. Someone that makes me not want to support him at all. c) As I said, I'm in Europe and trying to collect this particular line is practically impossible. More expensive than Classified, almost non-existant availability locally, extortionate import and shipping fees and exclusives that are simply unavailable. A far cry from Hasbro Pulse that gives me availability of every single item (including all and every exclusives), with free shipping and no import fees across all of the European Union.
My plan was to do a head swap… but I ended up scoring a bloody version, now I wish I would have grabbed 2… probably leave this one in the plastic…. 🤷♂️
Imo this version looks significantly worse, makes me laugh that one of Bobby's youtuber buddies made fun of hasbro for doing "umpteenth Snake eyes version" and here is the umpteenth pandora...
@diggdirkler9445 I like the leather/Biker look a lot more than the wanna be tactical shitshow of the previous version but this animated Harley Quinn head monstrosity is right in line with Falcon and Gemini
@beesbattlegrounds I agree once you swapped the heads I actually liked it way more, the head looks r*tarded, leather with ver 1 head looks way better but still skipping tbh
I ordered the hands packs so my shipment hasn't gone out yet. I did get this figure but plan to swap the head right away. The "poor man's Harley Quinn" is just not a good look. I like variation in headsculpts and encourage it especially for female figures. Gemini isn't exactly a model but also isn't a bad stereotype either. The heavy makeup grin head here is just... no. I may use the other head from the pack but raccoon eyes is going straight into the fodder box.
I've had zero interest in any of the Pandora figures so far. That being said, the headswap is a definite improvement. If I had the original, I might actually get this one just to do the swap.
Not a fan of the face (similar to Kerak, Gemini, alt head for Duster) bc i just like neutral expressions for my display bc they just hang out on my shelf's like they're in HQ, shes lookin into my soul with thay damn joker smile in a similar vain to the alt head for Duter; but i REALLY love the rest. Need to pick up a pair of Pandora for this one and the white variant bc i do like Pandora too. Not as much as Eclipse but shes up there for my favorite female characters. Hope that seruse six gives us that female Garrison LT that we saw during ValaFair or whatever it was a while back. Edit: now i need a third and another Joefest '23 Eclipse, for no real specific reason in particular 😅😳
Biker Harley Quinn!!! Oh, No, That head must go!!! I have Eclipse and 2 female Steel Brigade troopers. That's all I really want from Valaverse. The weapons (Mostly) and the gear packs are what I stock up on for my "Other" figures I collect!!! That Biker outfit is slightly tempting, Need some Motorcycles for these figures!!! Peace!!!
While I agree that the faces/heads are absolutely awful, I am at least glad they are Con Exclusives. I "allow" companies to do stupid things for exclusives, like GITD crap or crazy trendy color schemes that make no sense. Hopefully IFFFFF they do more of her (which they probably will as Bobby really likes her) they return to the more OG look and this isn't the new standard iteration!
Those head sculpts are hard to look at. The new outfit is alright, I guess, but what in the hell are they thinking when they allow these faces to ship? (I mean, I know it's that they really just don't give a shit.) I think, out of the three you have, the original version with the most generic expression looks the best.
When she was first revealed I was like ew! What did they do to her face lol! They went from realistic some to cartoon-ish lol! Anyways I would get her for the body and don't be hating on Gemini that is her war ready face lol!🎉🎉🎉 Nice review 😁😁😁🎉🎉🎉
@@andrewtaylor940 Well as Bee's says what in the Harley Quinn lol! Yeah I got Harley/ Joker vibes from it🤔 When they release her I will get her to swap out the head and also try that jacket sleeveless to show her arms. I think the body design is good but those heads are cartoon-ish!
Vala's slightly obsessive need to own G.I. Joe trademarks (Action Force, Steel Brigade) and the plethora of Pandoras have kept me from being fully on board.
Some of the Valaverse female head sculpts are terrible. Pandora looks like Harley Quinn’s ugly cousin. What was the name of that other recent female Action Force character that looks like Fran from Dodgeball? Don’t look it up if you don’t know. It cannot be unseen.😅
I didn’t get the biker version I wish would’ve and put the old head on your right about the goofy ass grin. I guess when you take risk and try for something different u miss some times! At least she’s better quality then Zarana I just put Zarana away and use pandora! Cause I got tired of her arm falling off!!
@ lucky every time I thought about moving her left arm it fell off 😂 I got her a 1/12 scale indian motorcycle and I can’t even pose her on it cause the lower arm is split so when it sits in a position it separates and falls right off. So I got the pandora reissue and use that
Yeah this is probably the first real exclusive skip for me. Vala is pushing pandora way too much. I'd rather get a unique character made from various parts of others. I wasn't a giant fan of the first pandora so i'm gonna skip this one.
Not a fan of the character. I'd love to know the sales figures on her relative to other characters. I'd rather he put his energy into adding more to the roster.
@LandofMert76 agreed, not a fan of her backstory but that doesn't matter as much since realistically it's *my* "toy" it can be whatever I want but I can't stand these new designs
@@diggdirkler9445 I don't have many Action Force. Pandora looks like a Dreaknok, so now Torch has a significant other and the Swarm Troopers fill out my Cobra La.
@ I’m waiting for my order to ship from BBTS. I really pick and choose when it comes to Action Force, I’m in Canada, so I’m paying 50$ a figure. I really want to get in on Monster Force, but again 62$ for a figure. I also drive 45 minutes to the border where my PO Box is across the line. BBTS, also hits us Canadians with a 50$ import fee. So, needless to say, I cross the border to pick up my toys.
![Valaverse - Action Force: The Bone Collector #100 [Review & GIVEAWAY]](/img/n.gif)
I’ll be grabbing one and IMMEDIATELY doing a head swap. I actually really like the leather look with the original head.
That's where it's at.....solid buck....that head is on the rough side
I'll give it this, it's definitely not a boring figure, the faces are extreme but it's interesting. Now imagine her and Giant Man smiling at ya.
@@scottroxford5715 😂😂😂
I'll get two of this version and just swap the heads with the regular version, cuz damn, Bobby sure shit the bed designing that new face
Your back 🔙
I was looking forward to another one of your unboxings😊
Between this and the face paint on the night Senshi, it's clear to me that Bobby never got over his edgelord weeb phase.
I love the jacket design, hopefully we get more outfit variations like this.
Bobby has stated that Pandora is his favorite character, hence the multi versions
She reminds me of that horror movie smile ☺ how would like that face running down a vaguely lite alley 😅😅😅
I'm getting her solely to give Warpath Eclipse the jacket.
Valaverse needs more villains instead of all these variants. He's got another Pandora coming out in all white if you save your action points

The biker fit looks great
Cant wait to put this pandora in the driver seat of my ramen racer!
@@RandomStuffGarage619 that should look SO good!
A cool review of new Pandora and her accessories!
I have missed out on all of them BUT I did the Pink Trooper for the wife
I need this one. Had it in my Shop app cart and sold out. The white suit one looks nice as well
@@Enewtabie I think there is a restock for her in December!
@@beesbattlegrounds Yup, there is. And there's also the white version with the action points too as an alternative.
Good review 😊
When I first saw her face I said " What in the F***ing hell??? She looks like she should be dating the Joker!
Cheers mate 😊
Poor Falcon catching stray shots :P

If I get this, it will be customized into a new Zarana.

Did you get the hand pack yet? I hope no issues with them. What’s your top 3 things or figs from the latest wave
I genuinely wonder if she's based on Vala's wife or like his High School Crush or something given how much he seems to love this character.
