I've only had one problem with Valaverse items. I was missing a belt and Valaverse sent me a new replacement. If I was missing anything from a Hasbro item......I would be lucky to get a new one.
@@GundamWarrior1 I’ve never had to contact Hasbro for any issue and I own over 350 G.I. Joe’s… I army build in case you’re wondering why the number so high
😂😂😂 I’ve had plenty of hasbro items break on me. From transformers to classified! I army build too. And have thousands of action figures. And i collect valaverse too. None of mine have broken. But I still collect them both. 😂
I get where you're coming from, but if we decided not to buy from companies whose owners aren't exactly pleasant, we'd probably be really limited on where we could shop, right? I like Valaverse's figures - I think they're dope. Is the owner a bit of an asshole? Sure, but honestly, most of us have our moments. He's entitled to his opinion. He worked for Hasbro, so maybe it's just a case of a scorned ex-employee. But that doesn't matter to me. I'm going to buy Valaverse figures, Hasbro figures, and whatever other good lines come up next. I'm hoping that's Monster Force because they look pretty sick. he's not everyone's cup of tea. That being said, it's important to separate the person from the product. Don't let your opinion of him sway you from enjoying the line. As a company, Valaverse is pretty solid. And if we want to nitpick about owners, let's look at these mega-corporations like Walmart, Amazon, Target, etc., that we shop at daily - most of us anyway.
Most of the businesses we use daily have pretty gross business practices. It’s kind of splitting hairs to boycott one company because the owner's an asshole when the places we buy from regularly are so much worse. Food for thought.
Great video! Keep them coming. I love a good, honest discussion. We don't always have to agree - we can disagree and still be friends. That's what separates us from the rest, brother.
@@TheRealGrievance hundred percent grievance I agree with you. It’s just that in the past couple years I’ve been trying to go to conventions and actually meet the owners of the product I buy. I never used to think this way until I got the opportunities to do this. Now when I buy a product from a good person, it just makes me feel better knowing my money is going to someone that is humble and deserves it. I’ll be the first to admit his line is OK. It’s not bad at all. It’s all about his personality. And the fact that he basically said everyone who backed the rattler is stupid…. that’s just something a 12-year-old would say. And I don’t want to finance people like that no longer. I’m sure there’s product that people that are the same way. But those people aren’t going out of their way to show me how they really are ..Bobby seems to do it every week. so in reality, he just does it to himself. If Bobby never went on a live stream and talk shit about Hasbro. I would probably have the entire line sitting in my house right now. .. love you to death bro !you’re the man grievance👍💯💜
Look at how Hasbro Fucked up today with that 'Once a Man' release. Bobby might be an asshole, but at least he's honest about it. Hasbro, on the other hand, keeps screwing us over and won't even acknowledge it because they know we'll keep buying. And you know what? They're right, lol
Grievance I don't care that bobby Valaverse is an asshole because he is. I have to be picky about what I buy I don't have a lot of money I live of disability because I am blind in one eye and my bad back. The government doesn't give me a lot of Money to play with so when I here from multiple sources from reviewer I respect that they break or the figures are fragile I don't want to spend my money on them if they break beside I don't like the face sculpture on the unmasked character enough the exception of a one or two so I don't mean to offend you but I first Aaron and the other people I watch including you but that said there only three figures I even liked the hive characters the red one, the arctic trooper and petorion that it so its not worth me trying a new line when I can barely keep up with classified
Dude you don’t even know the guy. At all. And I gotta ask - is this jumping on a bandwagon with certain other channels you pal with? And you can NOT talk QC with a straight face and not look at a huge percentage of Classified. This some clickbait bias all around.
@@Its.Chad. I have friends in the toy community but every time I speak, it is only for myself. I never speak on anyone else’s behalf, but my own opinion. And everyone knows my channel is revolved around toy enhancing. Sometimes these videos are going to come up. But that’s just it Chad. I’m trying to get to know the guy. The only way is through these live streams where he’s telling everyone they’re a piece of shit for buying rattlers. I would very much like to have Bobby on for a chitchat. I doubt that will ever happen…. And you can tell by the comments and the likes that this video is getting. I’m not the only one with this opinion…. by the way, Chad love you to death and love your channel. Hope you’re doing well… I am and always will be a huge three and three-quarter collector
I collect both lines. I have had good experiences with both companies when it comes to qc issues. The majority of my Joes are armed with Valaverse weapons. Ultimately I think competition pushes both lines in the right direction and I am excited to see what comes next.
One of my biggest issues with Bobby came up when they did the 3POA about SDCC and the Rattler and he was giving other companies crap abput using other peoples IPs. I would like to ask him what the steel brigade is all about then? I know that hasbro might have let the trademark go, but make up your own forces and don't name them after a GI Joe product.
I think it’s funny that you are going after Bobby when Hasbro is a terrible company. Maybe you should go after their terrible business practices and how they do not care about their employees.
1. Bobby addressed the ankle issue on series 3 and sent out replacements to everyone for free 2. He is doing a breast cancer figure that is coming out this October with proceeds going to charity. 3. He invited a child cancer survivor to his office to review series 1 and gave him a ton of free figures. 4. He put $500, $200 & $100 in cash in some of his Arsenal Tins as a think you to the fans. 5. He lowered prices while everyone was raising them and gave free shipping on their first vehicle that wasn’t crowdfunded. You should reach out to him cause you don’t know the real person and not the one joking on 3POA
@@jordanwithington2922 it sounds like Bobby is trying to cover up for his mistakes and the flaws with his product. He should be on top of his production so he doesn’t have to do all these things to make up for it…
@@Toyenhancer I think this is all about perspective. I don't see it as covering up for his flaws - if the product is defective or ill-designed in a way and Bobby provides a resolution for it - that's good customer service. The most recent issue with the Vanguard and the lack of the machine gun turret having up/down pivoting motion was widely criticized and he is sending out a replacement part to remedy that. Nothing is perfect but as long as there is some indication that he's listening to criticisms and working on it, then that's improvement.
That is bad luck on Pandora. Unfortunately the first wave of females has a known issue of a defect in the ankles. If you ask nicely and explain the problem they will send you replacement parts or a new figure.
@@Toyenhancer _Nice_ would have been you giving him the benefit of the doubt before posting this...
6 หลายเดือนก่อน
Never bought any of his stuff and if any new toy breaks on me i will be pissed . A lot of so called collectors like him because they are a holes just like him . His toys dont even look that good so i have never got the hype for them .
The ladies wave 1 were made at a different factory and they had bubbles in the molds. Neck pegs broke and some other parts. I’ve only had 2 factory defects from the 60 figs I’ve purchased.
Manufacturing flaws like that occur from time to time (not just in Action Force). What did Bobby say when you reached out with your issue, or did you not give him the opportunity to make things right? Did you honestly just jump online to piss and moan because Booby made an Anchorman parody joke about Rattler backers? Come on, man. You claim to like 3POA (and the language there gets pretty salty), you're part of the GI Joe Uncensored group, but Bobby uses a little profanity, and you gotta jump on youtube with your... exposé?
@@timothyward8695 i’m not trying to contact Bobby about a used figure that is pretty freaking old… compared to what he has out now... It was a gift from a friend. The video was more so about Bobby‘s all around attitude and his hate for Hasbro… he doesn’t understand that he could have so much more potential if he didn’t do things like that.. I wanted to say at least open one and held it and moved it around. And lo and behold the freaking foot breaks.🤷🏻♂️ I could care less about the figure. I’ll repair it because my friend gave it to me and that’s why I like it. Should I have to repair it? QC issues Bobby had. 100% not.
@@Toyenhanceryou do know that Bobby addressed this issue months ago about the boots? He was willing to give you a spare boot if you emailed him the problem. Plenty of people had the issue and got compensated fairly. You’re just a bit late to that ban wagon as the early release figures from that wave were addresses to fans and he fixed them. Hasbro won’t do that and haven’t done that with anyone or to their own products.
For the figures, I had problems with my Duster and Night ops Steel Bridage switching heads and hands. They are really rigid. I have all of the female figures and they have been pretty good. The Swarm Tracers (the glow in the dark version) are probably some of the best figures from Valaverse in my opinion. I also bought the Legend of the white dragon two pack which those figures require head swaps for differently looks. Those swapped perfectly so definitely a huge difference from earlier waves but yea I have experienced some brittleness in the past. I watch 3POA most weeks and I know Bobby rhetoric could be a little much sometimes. He seems like a nice dude but I think people do enjoy the commentary. I don’t agree with everything he says but it is interesting hearing about kind of the ins and outs of the toy industry. Ryan is an awesome dude and they both still collect Hasbro stuff. I used to think it came across as straight hating but they are fans of the product and just wish for better practices. I’m sorry Pandora broke on ya. Hopefully that is just a one off and you have a better experience if you open another. I’m of the mind of enjoy both classified and Valaverse and they are mixed in all on the same shelf. They just compliment each other well. I usually stay out of the bashing. There are things Hasbro does that I love, somethings that hate. Same thing with Valaverse and same thing with other companies. The only company I have seen 100% losses were anything I have gotten from Super 7. Anyways, interesting take. Hopefully next one goes well!
@@thomasgoesnostalgic thank you so much. I appreciate it. I may try to open one more. And I did like the new line that’s about to come out. We’ll see ,I may give it a go. Maybe Bobby will just stop talking trash and I can feel better about opening them.
I get that Bobby is an acquired taste. If you're good at something, you should be confident. He probably owns more GI joes than both of us. He has stock and Hasbro. He just calls BS when he sees it and tries to hold a billion dollar company to a higher standard so that us the customers can get a better product
@@phoenixrisingcreations I haven’t .. this just happened right before the video … was going to talk about how I like his figs but hate his attitude.. then that happened 🤷🏻♂️
@Toyenhancer toy companies will have QC issues in products, for example the version 2 Firefly. That figures ab crunch QC issue. Hasbro knew it and still released the figure. I found a way to have a v2 Firefly that would not fall over all the time because of the issues, I actually used the Valervers urban Commando figure. I have a video I made on it. Yes, Bobby is very outspoken, and we all know there is no love lost between him and Hasbro. It just seems like a lot of people are now saying stuff about him because of what he said on the last 3POA podcast about the haslab rattler. He's talked a lot about Hasbro in general over many months, but now people are hating on him because he made valid points.
I got the “I’m the Alpha Male” dude vibes from the little content I’ve seen with Bobby. He may be the nicest guy in the world but I want nothing to do with people like that. I have no idea about the personalities of the Hasbro team and that’s what I prefer.
I've got a ton of Action Force figures and offerings and I manhandle them all swapping parts out and the only thing deterimental was the loosening of the drop down legs on one of them. But I do remember earlier series having issues with their joints and breakages but Valaverse has since remedied them. I do wish they had more variety as there's only so much you can do with reused parts and bodies. It took up to like series 5 to really give us a change in base bodies and gear/weapons. I've been getting more and more into Classifieds recently but I can't subscribe to some of the plastics they use for their stuff. I'd rather something be more rigid than gummy.
I see both sides of the argument. I like how Bobby gives his perspective from a toy maker’s point of view (albeit a jilted lover’s so to speak); but I own about 90% of his Action Force figures and am happy with them. I also own the majority of Classified G.I. Joes and am mostly happy with them. Their designs are great (but I have received a couple of floppy duds as well) but mainly their weapons mostly suck. That’s ok because I use Gridiron Studios weapons as replacements- which brings me to my last point on Bobby V. Toyenhancer, you’re right. Bobby V has even talked shit about Gridiron. I think the dude just can’t help himself. Of course, I don’t think he cares what others may think of him. I’ll continue to buy both Valaverse and Hasbro, but I’m done watching 3POA and any Valaverse livestreams unless they are only talking about upcoming releases and dates because they are just too negative. Last thing. You had me dying with your quip about his bourbon! lol! Thanks for the video.
@@gmwforce1972 😂 thank you sir. I appreciate the good comment. I live stream on Tuesday nights 9 PM Eastern if you ever want to pop in. We have a real good chat.👍 thank you friend
I collect both lines, had classifed issues and some action force figures. If you reached out to valaverse customer service they would have taken care of that QC issue. Both lines are fun. His plastic is harder but not cheap, hasbro joes have had some gummy issues. Neither line has found that perfect plastic. I'd say just collect what you enjoy and just not watch any Bobby videos. I'm sure all company's run their mouths, Bobby just puts his out there. I am all in on joes and sprinkle in the action force figs. Valaverse weapons help give your joes some realistic weapons.
If you don't mind the question. I have noticed that the harder the plastic the less effective the regular super glue is on it. Which glue do you use for hard plastic?
That's a fair viewpoint especially if Everytime Hasbro comes out with something fans have been waiting for only to see the other side poking fun at it I can definitely see the same old song and dance get a little tiresome. I enjoy both but lean more on the gi joe for the cobra products.
I think the Valaverse figures aren't as good as some praise them. I've had a couple but refuse to support that line also because Bobby V. comes off as a prick. Get over the Hasbro thing and move on with creating lackluster figures.
The same reason why I stopped collecting Action Force as well. I really don’t like Bobby’s arrogance and blatant disrespect towards collectors and consumers of his products.
I've been saying the exact same thing for a while. I've purchased a few of Valaverse figures, mostly to part out for customs and experienced breaks and generally poor QC, in one aspect or another, with most of them. And it's true, all companies experience QC issues from time to time, but usually not at the extent that Action Force has. In their (I won't say "his," for reasons I will get to) defense, I have heard that they are pretty good at replacing broken products with new ones. However, there's nothing they're doing that excuses the childish behavior of Bobby, himself. The grudge he holds against Hasbro and the animosity he has toward a lot of other toy companies overshadows everything else he does. You'd think, before talking crap on the lion's share of the community, both companies and FANS, he would go to the effort to get his own house right. Or, you know, just let the shit go and move on.
One. I'll take that SWARM off your hands. Second Bobby is a straight up good guy and so is his company. I bought a figure and was missing a knife. Contacted the company and was sent a new one without issue. Another thing, V2 Bone Collector was made available on the website to keep scalpers from making money.
Good guy for his customers, not a good person if you are another independent toy company. Talk to some of them and find out their opinion. Some of the things he has done, have not been done with the most integrity.
@@Getbaddudes I think Gridiron Studios not wanting to do products for Valaverse based on Bobby's comments was the only one I've heard of having some sort of reaction to it.
@@Rakerong I heard about Gridiron doing that also. That was just based upon things he said, which is odd they wouldn’t capitalize on the business anyway. My prior comment is based upon behind the scene stuff that other toy company owners have told me. Nothing I am going to publicly snitch about and name names.
😅 I enjoy both lines I am one of those collectors that just got back into it and I don't want to go back to the three and three quarter I collect limitly Yes each line has their faults The valiverse has no problem fixing theirs I haven't seen much with Hasbro your comments are good I don't think he hate you for it some things make people a better person at least I hope the community needs more real people. 👍🏾
@@TRASPOTER48 thank you and that would be my ultimate goal is for Bobby to realize that he doesn’t have to talk crap about Hasbro. All he has to do is keep making figs.👍
Valaverse faces from the first few lines were terrible looking as bad as Falcon but the ones with masks are the only ones I liked and considered getting but never did
Wow that conversation with Vala was really bad. Im surprised you haven't taken your channel down. It's amazing that YOU are judging someone else's character. Keep screaming at the mountain top and you'll find the bottom.
I got into Valaverse due to a friend getting me some weapons. I bought the masked agents, but I never liked Bobby. Quality wise, you have to soak the figures in warm water otherwise the joints will snap.
I thought about collecting action. But after that con where he was waiting to fight with his back up. Because someone said mean words to him. Ok personal honor or sticking up for yourself or whatever it. But he keeps getting baited. And lead around by the haters. But I also don’t want him to just be a robot. It just feels like if I’m cool with this and let it slide. Next year I’ll be neck deep in dramatube getting baited my damn self
BURN!!! Idk the action force figs I got are 🔥🔥🔥🔥. This is your truth tell it brother. Glad you’re stepping out of the comfort zone and getting into some real shit!!🤯🤯😵💫
it’s too expensive and some of the recent versions feel inferior. My husband and I loved the weapons kits from Valaverse but we love how female Gi Joe classified look FEMININE. Sorry i don’t want to sound crude buti find female valaverse figures look butch. Valaverse figures me and my husband collected we kitbashed and found the plastic is very inferior. One of the things i love about Gi Joe Classified! I can take Akiko and Jinx and make them look like me!❤
lol I like Action Force, I like Bobby’s attitude too. I guess he can come across as arrogant, but he’s also the most accessible tor creator I know of. Sorry you had a bad experience. Maybe I’ve been lucky, but never had a problem with one. I’ve had so many problems with Classified figs though, just saying, I’ve also had a couple problems with my favorite line from Mattel. He actually loves Joes, he praises more than he criticizes if you listen. One of his criticisms is GoFundme aspect of major billion dollar businesses. And thanks to Vala, Gi Joe quality has improved a little. You also can’t compare a small business to major corporation. And I disagree on the quality of Action Force from the one experience you had. But it’s a free country 😉
Oh shit man, I’m so sorry the figure broke like that! I knew how you felt about Bobby and his personality in his videos. This was not the hopes I had for your take on the line, but you are a man who knows what he needs from a figure. If they didn’t pass muster, that’s disappointingly. I’ve had a very different experience with the ones I have. And I have manipulated them enough to say I have not had one break so easily. But for you, this is the Super 7 Joes all over again as a start….i get it.
@@ryantorney5581 yeah no worries, bro. I do like the fig. I’m gonna fix it. It’s just that if this happens to other people, are they going to be able to fix it? Probably not. And it’s not your fault. It broke. I love the fig because you gave it to me more than anything.👍💜💯
@@Toyenhancer , buddy, it’s all good! I didn’t take it as anything personal at all! You explained your point clearly enough to ensure we know what’s got you riled, don’t worry about me at all bro!
We all have our personal biases. For instance, why are you questioning the success of Valaverse and not Hasbro? How often does anyone see Action Force on a steep discount at an Ollie's? And if you are wondering, I do not collect Action Force or G.I. Joe. I have no skin in the game.
@@trentrolfingsmeier that’s a very easy answer. Bobby’s figures aren’t in Walmart, target, GameStop, he doesn’t have the production that Hasbro does so you will never see his in Ollies…. he’s still a small company compared to Hasbro. That’s why I don’t understand why he would downplay them. If I was him, I wouldn’t say nothing about Hasbro.
I was missing parts from one of the plate carrier packs because I bought it from big bad toy store. He will not do anything but I contacted big bad toy store and they refunded me. I really don’t care for the guy.
I've had one Valaverse figure break at the ankle joint. The female Steel Brigade. Valaverse put out a statement about the issue and apologized for the qc issue. I sent them an email with a photo and they sent me a replacement in less than 10 days. Classified isn't more durable. I've had two Zaranas break out of the box. And my pimp daddy destro has paint smudges. As for Bobby Vala's personality, if you can't take a joke or a rash talker, then it's your problem. You're coming off as Hasbro can't do anything wrong, guy. I collect both lines and I can tell you. Hasbro isn't up to par with the qc like both Jada and Valaverse.
@@KensToys74 I collect all lines. And haven’t had to have anything replaced from Hasbro. But I know one thing I don’t see Hasbro talking bad about Bobby..🤷🏻♂️.. as far as jokes, he must be telling the longest joke in his entire life because that’s all I hear him talk about
@@adolfodominguez6477 I agree. I think that’s his worst quality. Like I said if it wasn’t for his personality, I would probably have the figures on shelf. But he’s consistently badmouthing hasbro . I don’t understand what he could possibly gain.
@@tblade5678 yes and that’s how toy company should be. They don’t need to be on live streams talking crap about other toy companies. I hundred percent agree. if it wasn’t for Bobby‘s attitude, I would’ve already been knee-deep in the line probably.
@@Toyenhancer yeah I agree 100 % I started when it started, I love the way the Action force figures size up and blend with My classified figures but the more I learn about Bobby and the way he treats other vendors and his attitude towards other really tuns my off the products.
Don't give up your day job, if you're getting pissed about your toys breaking when you play with them and about the guy that makes the toys, please find a new hobby.
@@BlkRamGuy I would never quit my day job. I make way too much money.😂😂 in fact, the video was not to be about a broken toy. It’s about Bobby’s attitude. I happened to open up my very first action force figure that was given to me by my best friend. And lo and behold the first one I ever touch snap like a twig. This never happened to me before specially with classified. I’ve opened over 350 classified and never had a broken figure. And believe me I’m rough with my toys. This one seemed to break with very little effort… so I talked about it, but you have to keep in mind. I was just opening this so I can say I opened one. And it breaks. Not coincidence. That’s poor craftsmanship.
Love the new “unfiltered” series! I now want a shirt with the catch phrase “ketchup motherfu****”. I don’t own any of those figures. G.I. Joes roots are planted too deep in our childhoods and beyond. It’s bad form to crap on G.I. Joe or Hasbo. Fans will buy it if they like it. No need for him to talk trash. If his line is so much “better” the product will do all the talking! I’ve never had a Joe break on me!
@@Great_War_Gallery yes I’ve never had a Joe break on me either.. and buddy that is a great idea that’s going to be our shirt for next month👍👍 shoot me your address in Instagram, or Facebook. I will make sure you receive the first one, absolutely free.👍🔥🔥🔥🔥 thanks bro🔥🔥🔥
I agree with you. I bought 1 figure from him. It was sergeant slaughter. I liked it and planed to get more . Till I meet him at a small con in New England. He opened his mouth and it was all over. I since seen him at cons in New England and no one at his booth. I have watched some of his videos I do care for his politics his bad ego . I will not buy anything from him
I think Valaverse figs are all right. I have a few from the first couple waves, but honestly , I stopped following/buying their product because of Bobby Vala and his personality.
Mine broke as well doing the same thing I tried to pin drill it . And put metal in it then the plastic around it cracked when I tried to move it a little so be careful
Bobby deep down is Like us . He’s really a Joe fan. He just had a bad personal experience working at Hasbro and now he’s very bitter. Tony along with him is a Joe fan but he’s on the hate wagon cause he’s thinks it’s cool . Laser pants is a Johnny Come lately to the Joe line so he just wants to please his friends. Bobby makes some good weapons and the potential is there. My advice , be like monster force and grid iron and companies likes that. Don’t hate on Joe but embrace it . Make figures and weapons and vehicles that can be added to the Joe line. You’ll be more successful for it and will feel better inside.
Your right on the plastic,i had a snow trooper and he had fell from the sink and hit the carpet and broke in half and the plastic was hollow and hard brit
@@dzsquad1965 yes I started noticing these cheap builds with super seven and their G.I. Joe.. now I can basically just thump my finger on a toy and tell the quality it has. Hollow is not good in any plastic. It just makes it weak. Thank you for the nice comment and I appreciate you watching the video.
@@Toyenhancer no problem,I'll be watching brother,and I cancelled my wave with bbts on them valaverse they look shitty after looking at them a few times
@CrimsonCobraCommander with all due respect to aaron his review was massively biased he opened 1 or 2 figures I own like 20 no issues He dislikes Bobby Vala that was the only point of his videos the action figures are just fine I don't base my opinion off of someone else's biased opinion . We're adults playing with fucking toys make up your own mind 🙄
@@TheRealGrievance1:22 I don't like him either in fact I never liked him I always thought he was a jerk especially to fans of classified but I have heard on multiple occasions that his figures break I don't just take one person opinion I take multiple people opinion I still getting the petorion but that is the only one that interest me. I don't like the faces on his figures except lla few but they don't interest me at all the only other ones I might want be interested is the snow trooper with the mask or the hive that it. I don't like how he is always putting us down. So I do my research it not just one person.
@CrimsonCobraCommander everyone is entitled to their own opinion I don't like how multi billion dollar companies treat us either that's walmart amazon and hasbro but I still buy the products but I don't got thin skin I don't give a fuck about if the owners an asshole if I like the product I buy it it's not for everyone tho so to each their own
Man! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Arron! This video needed to be made. There’s only one word that I can use to describe Bobby Valla and his personality/attitude. And it is gross. That’s right the word is gross. I don’t know why he tries to shit on everything and I hate to be negative when it comes to toys I mean they’re just fucking toys for Christ sake. But this guy is on one all the time so bitter so jaded so jealous. I fuck with his weapons packs, but that’s as far as I’ve ever bought anything from his line. Figures don’t do much for me as far as grabbing my attention and wanting me to buy them. But I think you great for airing his bullshit and calling him out on it.🙏🏽🙏🏽👊🏽👊🏽
head issues with heads too but, only Valaverse figures. like what is the point in giving alternate heads if you can't change them. Like you I can fix it but I should have to
Bobby is not for everyone. His company has been wildly successful for a startup since it began, and it's one of the shining new examples of a small toy company that has succeeded in a market where 2 companies have largely dominated for a decade. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerburg say all kinds of things, and no one really questions them. Since Bobby is minuscule in terms of size and influence compared to them, he's supposed to just be a humble positive dude with no opinions? It doesn't work that way. He has called out Hasbro time and again in hopes they do things better. His stories of his time there are obviously his POV, but we all know large corporations well enough to know that's likely how things go down. He is who he is, and he sticks to his principles. I see people commending Hasbro employees for not firing back. You and I both know if they said a word, they'd be out on the street before the next business day. It does create spice and it's not for some. If you don't like him, that's fine. However, he is a success story thus far, and his ideas and products have been pretty well received. You have a right to say what you wish and state your opinions, but so does he.
Aye bro. I wanna say you’re entitled to your opinion and I respect that 100% I do wanna say some things and come in defense for Vala here. I will agree when Bobby goes off on hasbro and more specifically some of the people he’s worked with gets pretty jarring for me. And also he’s definitely got attitude. I like that energy sometimes and sometimes it just gets a lil much. I do feel like his attitude comes from a territory. The man for most of his adult life has been trying to strive at Hasbro and be a great toy designer. Getting shafted after a long career would definitely leave a scar. Sometimes I get heated remembering the times a jobs fucked me over and I only worked for a couple months. I do see good in the man cause he definitely does a lot for his fan base. But yah. That’s just my two cents. And lastly that does really suck about your pandora figure. If anything try the customer service Valaverse has. Not sure if they can help out with gifted items but ain’t no trouble trying to ask. I recall other customers having the same issue with pandoras foot having a bubble in it and Bobby issued replacements. I’m sorry you’re discouraged in getting any more valaverse figures cause there are genuinely good figures in the line. Anyways man I hope you take care of yourself and you’re still a friend here.
What a measured, mature and very fair response. Props to you Goon for not resorting to some of the other bullshit I've seen in the replies here from Action Force fans. They could really take a leaf out of your book.
@@Toyenhancer I know it’s dumb, but I heat up all my figures to avoid paint issues etc. but I do agree Vala figures are cheap plastic, I sold all mine to ppl on fb groups and never looked back. I wish him success, but I’m not funding it.
That sucks she broke ive never broken one but things happen not as often as super 7 nec ect., but ive had some qc with my joes too , dont we all complain about hasbro at some point, like why aren't my oring ghostbusters sitting in their car hahaha . The older figs series one and two should be heated up after the long package time .ive heard of some old qc issues vala stood by his figs and sent parts out to people
@@Toyenhancer watch as they try and come after me in the comments and I shared the video in g.i. joe classified group and had to turn comment notifications off over 50 shills in 50mins all running yo baby bobby valas defense like a herd of sheep.
I went through the comments and no one mentioned it. That was and is a known issue with that wave. Bobby addressed it and aknowledged it on social media at the time. That swarm trooper you tossed aside has a fragile hip joint, and again Bobby addressed and acknowleged it a while back. It sucks it happened, Ive been buying the line since the 1st kickstarter failed, I havent had any problems, Bobbys an aquired taste but his figures keep getting better.
@@RoleKeeperI’ll give you a little story. I had two ferrets destroyed by FedEx from pulse so they never arrived. I contacted Hasbro customer service, within five days I received two ferrets. Vehicle was sold out at that point and they still got them to me. I call em how I see em.
This video wasn’t worth the time I took to watch it, sorry but it seems little bit like you did this for clout and click bait. Just curious, who are you to judge anyone on how they should act and carry themselves unless you know them on a personal level.
@@its_Dan_71 well after Bobby was on a live stream with three POA and told everyone to get fucked who back the rattler . Decided to do a video on his attitude. Possibly change his attitude….
I wonder if Bobby wants to grow valaverse enough so that Habro will want to buy him out. I don't know much, but it would seem like the perfect "revenge" for Bobby and complete his circle of revenge, but as I said... what do I know?
Low resolution, poor perspective and personal attacks… Be sure this is what you want because I don’t think you realize what you’re asking for. But then again, I don’t think you realize much.
Man. I can't stand that guy and for that reason I don't buy his figure line... Too many Joe fans collecting his line with first hands feedback about his line and Bobby that are not convincing me to buy the figures. 💡☕️
@@Roadpigjohn that’s how I feel. I’m not gonna buy products from someone that talks like a 12-year-old on live streams about a company that made my childhood one of the best generations to ever grow up in.
I also felt Bobby was an asshole too. UNTIL I actually chatted with him. I feel like you're a bit hard on him and too easy on HASBLO. Maybe reach out and talk to him like an adult, rather than disparaging him online? I feel you give Hasbro too much credit when honestly they gouge the fans because of nostalgia. But if you're this angry at a family man, vs a billion dollar company, I just don't know. BTW, 1/3 of my classifieds have qc issues, and I have over 150 now. Hasbro is more interested in DEI policies than giving us fans good deals. It costs less than 2.00 to produce these figs, from design, raw materials and molds, that's it. They could charge 15.00 and still make profit. He's talking trash about the leadership, more than Joe. Guess we'll have agree to disagree. I thought you knew you could love Joe without shilling for the billion dollar company that shits on lore. The GI Joe movies, for example.
@@Dreadnok_K6 I totally see your view.. but this is just my opinion and I haven’t had no defects. But you know the channel, I also dabble with a lot of lines besides Hasbro. Just wanted to express that personality goes long ways. And if you don’t have a good one it’s best to just stay behind the company and work hard with it… something Bobby should’ve done a long time ago… I want to like his line, but the more he talks the more I just can’t do it
@@curseoffenrir that sucks I probably opened over 350 Joe’s total, i’m a big army builder guy, had very minor issues with Bent weapons and some loose leg joints, but nothing major or ever broken. There’s a big difference between a loose joint, falling off and pegs actually breaking…. I’m not saying Hasbro is perfect. But come on the first fig I touch breaks of Bobby’s.🤷🏻♂️
@@Toyenhancer and he was very open about it, what happened and that he would fix it. Hasbro, I have broke off arms that require jumping through insane loop holes, throwing them in the trash or pinning/super gluing, as well as incredibly loose floppy joints and ankles that flop right over as we even saw in their SDCC display case. What you should do is contact Valaverse see what if anything they can do for you and then share your opinion.
I guess to each there own, I have like 40 action force figure, never had a problem with them, sorry your figure broke , Bobby is normally good at replacing broken figures, I feel your pain, my tiger force roadblock came broken and I had to glue the arm back together, I enjoy Bobby opinion, don't always agree with it, but I think 1/12 miltary action figure comunity is big enough for differenting opinions, I respect your opinon too, even tho, I don't totally agree with it
@@GumbosGhost thank you, Much appreciated. And I’m not trying to tell anyone to not buy from him. I’m just giving an opinion and everyone knows my channel doesn’t revolve around stuff like that. Thank you, sir.
Ive never had an issue with hasbro . I had two ferrets ship with damaged boxes , i called and they shipped a third for free as an apology for fedex and their crappy handling of packages .
Damn bro, that sucks that it broke on you but I have 30 something figs and they’re all fine so far . Hopefully they last But thanks for something to keep in the back of my mind 🤔✌🏽
Sorry about the figure but the ankle issue was made very public that it was a defect in less than 2% of the figs and valaverse offered replacement boots for free if you just contact customer service. The rest you can have your opinion but that problem was all over the Valaverse social media, newsletter and mentioned on the 3POA. Sorry you weren’t aware.
You aint wrong. Only bought his comics and they were horrible.350 for a Rattler when we drop G notes on other figures. Isn't taking in the bum like says either. Heck got joe collectors paying thousands for in the box vintage who just want a 350 Rattler for office or toy room. Found that odd. Adults don't collect toys because they are great value.Unless you grade n flip I suppose
I have been a subscriber for awhile and enjoy your reviews. You have the right to your opinion, which i will respect but I have to disagree .I also want to touch on something I have not seen brought up was about a comment when Bobby was asked about making air force defense. I want to say is remember Gi joe ARAH has a long running lore that hasbro can pull from. Bobby with action force is creating the characters as he goes and creating the lore for them at the same time . Series 5 of Action force is a good example of Bobby creating completely new characters.
@@KentHeltzinger I can see your point but honestly, it’s not hard to come up with ideas for a toy line… and to put down another line because he obviously doesn’t have what they do. And call people ignorant for backing the rattler. He just sounds like a 12-year-old talking…. I mean, what does he gain for badmouthing Hasbro 24 seven?….. I run a successful Electrical business. Does that mean I should run around town badmouth all the other electricians😂😂 but we can always agree to disagree and that’s what conversations are about otherwise they would be boring. I appreciate you being a subscriber and thank you.
@@Toyenhancer 👍 Its all good! I understand what your saying Brother! I don't always agree with bobby on sometimes with the things he says, example is the rattler. In my opionion life is short and if somebody wants the rattler they should go for it and enjoy it. On a side note, after watching I did check my Action figures and i did feel a difference . Keep up the great videos 🍻
I don't think I've ever seen an interview with Bobby vala but always sounds like everyone says the same thing bad personality very negative always hear the same thing about that toy line tends to break easily. It's sad cuz a lot of those figures actually look good
@@bobbywold2311 I agree, Bobby. You wouldn’t want to see any of his interviews. Because he constantly just badmouth Hasbro. It’s like his obsession…. but when we ask questions about his toy line, he’s very short and overprotective… kinda like talking to a 12-year-old😂😂
Didn't realize you toy boys are so into your fefees! You know that Bobby will send you another foot, maybe a replacement figure if you contact his website. I've collected for 40 years and collect Hasbro, Mcfarlane,Valaverse and others. I've yet to break a figure. Maybe Pandora wasn't designed to be put in your ass! So Valaverse figures are hard, Hasbro are gummy, Mcfarlane is in between and Neca is glue and sawdust! Bobby is the little guy, not a billion dollar company like Hasbro, who still has to crowdfund. I paid for my lone Dragonfly a year ago and don't know when it's coming! Guaranteed my Vanguard I preordered in March will arrive first. Then Hasbro wants me to fund a $350 Rattler I may not see for nearly two years! Everyone has a right to vent but you might want to get off Hasbro's junk and be honest. If not for Bobby we wouldn't be getting extra hands and better accessories from Hasbro. Also the Pulp Fiction clips make no real sense and the whole video seems like you had to build up some liquid courage to get worked up sufficiently. At the end of the day we pay for these products, we don't owe them anything else. Have a blessed day and keep them figures out of your ass!😂
Let me start by saying that sucks that Pandora foot broke. My personal experience with close to 80 action force, figures. I have never had that happen. But if you reach out to them, I have seen on more than one occasion they will send out a replacement part. From what I’ve witnessed from a handful of others. They are pretty good about getting back to you.
I'm one of those guys that never really gets worked up over the bad mouthing that takes pace from Vala, but his comments about the fans and supporters of the Rattler really struck a chord. If he hates Hasbro, that's fine. If he hates what they are producing, that's fine. But hating the fans, just because they like toys produced by a company he doesn't like? That's petty. I didn't buy any Valaverse figures until last year. I didn't hate them, I've just always been a strict GI Joe collector. I like other stuff, just not enough to collect it. However, I finally bought a couple of the Action Force figures, and I liked them. I didn't have any major problems with the handful of figures I've bought. One of them is starting to separate at the sides where the neck swivel is, so I have to heat the head up to swap it out, but that seems like a fluke. The plastic does seem harder than what Hasbro uses, and who knows how it will age. I have also had a couple or the guns break at their thinnest sections, but those are obviously made out of a harder plastic. Overall, I was happy with my purchases, but not as impressed with any of the figures as a lot of other folks have been. The only Action Force figure I loved, was the Swarm Tracer. I thought the figure line was good, but not near as groundbreaking and original as Vala and his friends make it out to be. I mean, obviously it is no where as iconic as GI Joe, nor will it ever be. I don't own near as many Classified figures as you, but I own over a hundred of them. Other than warped accessories, I've never had any major issues with any of the figures. I've had to heat some up to free joints, but that seems to be how modern toys are these days. I have a couple that appear to be looking up a bit more than I like, but no other paint issues, and no breakage. A few of the older ones have loosened up a bit, but they all still pose and stand just fine. I gripe when Hasbro gets something wrong, so I don't pretend the line is perfect. I also don't make any excuses for Hasbro. I am fully aware that they are a corporation, and their goal is to make as much money as they can. I don't look at them as being evil though. I don't expect Vala to not express any opinions just because he owns a toy company, but he does take it too far. I'm not going to burn any of my Action Force figures in protest or anything, but I've reached the point where he is being too big of an a-hole for me to ignore. I know losing me as a customer won't mean anything to him, but I just can't spend hard earned money on his stuff anymore. Even if it is cool. I spent my entire career in the public eye. Sometimes you have to bite your tongue, or it gets you in trouble. He can't just run his mouth, and expect people to not get upset. Like you said, a lot of his Action Force fans collect both lines. I'd guess the majority of them do. I think most of them just ignore him, and focus on the toys. However, every one of those fans have a threshold, and one by one, most of them will have had enough of his crap. I doubt it'll put him out of business, but it will certainly keep his company from being as successful as Hasbro or GI Joe. I seriously doubt he will ever be any real competition to them. I imagine he'll rock on for several more years, until he burns too many bridges. Then, he'll sell his interest in the company, and whine around about how he was betrayed by his "fans".
@@Toyenhancer thanks! I'm usually pretty objective, and I try to ignore jumping on any bandwagons. I actually listened to several of his comments in the latest 3POA podcast several times, just to make sure I wasn't taking them the wrong way. I felt some of his points were valid, and I'm not the type of guy that isn't going to like him just because he has a different opinion. I just believe I've heard enough from him this time. I've never backed a Haslab, and unless something changes, I doubt I will back the Rattler, so it's not like I'm trying to defend a purchase or anything. He may be an awesome person in real life, and I truly hope he is. Unfortunately, all I have to go on is the impression he leaves through his interviews and videos.
16:38 That comment from there to the end is what got under Bobby's skin because its just simply true & he knows it. I havent been paying attention because these people arent worth a bucket of pss & only came across this because of course "Chad's" rebuttal video popped up. Funny how these fake tough guys can run their mouth about anything & everything but yet when somebody random does to them they immediately get in defense mode so quickly like women. Year after year its always the same crew involved in something dramatic but everyone else is the problem right? Its no secret to everyone what the common denominator is! They exhibit extreme hypocrisy with 0 accountability also a common female trait! You can have a opinion just like they do but when its not in their favor its cry city!
@@patientmental875 that is a great comment and very well said. I totally agree. Everyone acted like I’m supposed to know something is wrong with these figures.. I had no clue. The video was just supposed to be about a video on how poor Bobby’s attitude is towards the community of people who buy Hasbro products. And the funny part is he sells his toys to these people. I stepped in a bear trap without knowing. I’m glad my subscribers truly know the person that I am since I do live streaming ,and thank you and everyone else that supports me…💯💜👍
@@patientmental875 wow look who’s back from the dead. Funny how you always come up whenever someone makes a video against another company that isn’t Hasbro. How come whenever someone calls you out you go into hiding and pop back up months later. That’s some “real tough guy” behavior your displaying your showing with you running away.
@@rokkieteller5421 Call me out for what? As I said I havent been paying attention to whats going in the toy world, whats funny is rokkie I bet I can go on any Valaverse video right now & there you are simping for another man
Isn't Action Force a rip-off from G.I.Joe never gotten into the Valorverse /Action Force mostly due to a documentary I saw. Belive it was The Toys that made us. I'm pretty sure in there was something about Bobby doing some shady underhanded stuff not only to destroy the Joe line but to even get himself made as a figure
This is gonna be a good week lol I like valaverse I can’t wait till the Vanguard drops but he does have a bit of an ego I enjoy the 3poa podcast more when he’s not on it.
As someone who is new to Joes and Action Force… I really don’t care about a man’s opinion on another company. And I think it is silly to care so much.
But you responded?
I've only had one problem with Valaverse items. I was missing a belt and Valaverse sent me a new replacement. If I was missing anything from a Hasbro item......I would be lucky to get a new one.
@@GundamWarrior1 I’ve never had to contact Hasbro for any issue and I own over 350 G.I. Joe’s… I army build in case you’re wondering why the number so high
😂😂😂 I’ve had plenty of hasbro items break on me. From transformers to classified! I army build too. And have thousands of action figures. And i collect valaverse too. None of mine have broken. But I still collect them both. 😂
I get where you're coming from, but if we decided not to buy from companies whose owners aren't exactly pleasant, we'd probably be really limited on where we could shop, right? I like Valaverse's figures - I think they're dope.
Is the owner a bit of an asshole? Sure, but honestly, most of us have our moments. He's entitled to his opinion. He worked for Hasbro, so maybe it's just a case of a scorned ex-employee. But that doesn't matter to me. I'm going to buy Valaverse figures, Hasbro figures, and whatever other good lines come up next. I'm hoping that's Monster Force because they look pretty sick.
he's not everyone's cup of tea. That being said, it's important to separate the person from the product.
Don't let your opinion of him sway you from enjoying the line. As a company, Valaverse is pretty solid. And if we want to nitpick about owners, let's look at these mega-corporations like Walmart, Amazon, Target, etc., that we shop at daily - most of us anyway.
Most of the businesses we use daily have pretty gross business practices. It’s kind of splitting hairs to boycott one company because the owner's an asshole when the places we buy from regularly are so much worse. Food for thought.
Great video! Keep them coming. I love a good, honest discussion. We don't always have to agree - we can disagree and still be friends. That's what separates us from the rest, brother.
@@TheRealGrievance hundred percent grievance I agree with you. It’s just that in the past couple years I’ve been trying to go to conventions and actually meet the owners of the product I buy. I never used to think this way until I got the opportunities to do this. Now when I buy a product from a good person, it just makes me feel better knowing my money is going to someone that is humble and deserves it. I’ll be the first to admit his line is OK. It’s not bad at all. It’s all about his personality. And the fact that he basically said everyone who backed the rattler is stupid…. that’s just something a 12-year-old would say. And I don’t want to finance people like that no longer. I’m sure there’s product that people that are the same way. But those people aren’t going out of their way to show me how they really are ..Bobby seems to do it every week. so in reality, he just does it to himself. If Bobby never went on a live stream and talk shit about Hasbro. I would probably have the entire line sitting in my house right now. .. love you to death bro !you’re the man grievance👍💯💜
Look at how Hasbro Fucked up today with that 'Once a Man' release. Bobby might be an asshole, but at least he's honest about it. Hasbro, on the other hand, keeps screwing us over and won't even acknowledge it because they know we'll keep buying. And you know what? They're right, lol
Grievance I don't care that bobby Valaverse is an asshole because he is. I have to be picky about what I buy I don't have a lot of money I live of disability because I am blind in one eye and my bad back. The government doesn't give me a lot of Money to play with so when I here from multiple sources from reviewer I respect that they break or the figures are fragile I don't want to spend my money on them if they break beside I don't like the face sculpture on the unmasked character enough the exception of a one or two so I don't mean to offend you but I first Aaron and the other people I watch including you but that said there only three figures I even liked the hive characters the red one, the arctic trooper and petorion that it so its not worth me trying a new line when I can barely keep up with classified
Dude you don’t even know the guy. At all. And I gotta ask - is this jumping on a bandwagon with certain other channels you pal with?
And you can NOT talk QC with a straight face and not look at a huge percentage of Classified.
This some clickbait bias all around.
@@Its.Chad. I have friends in the toy community but every time I speak, it is only for myself. I never speak on anyone else’s behalf, but my own opinion. And everyone knows my channel is revolved around toy enhancing. Sometimes these videos are going to come up. But that’s just it Chad. I’m trying to get to know the guy. The only way is through these live streams where he’s telling everyone they’re a piece of shit for buying rattlers. I would very much like to have Bobby on for a chitchat. I doubt that will ever happen…. And you can tell by the comments and the likes that this video is getting. I’m not the only one with this opinion…. by the way, Chad love you to death and love your channel. Hope you’re doing well… I am and always will be a huge three and three-quarter collector
I collect both lines. I have had good experiences with both companies when it comes to qc issues. The majority of my Joes are armed with Valaverse weapons. Ultimately I think competition pushes both lines in the right direction and I am excited to see what comes next.
Exactly.
One of my biggest issues with Bobby came up when they did the 3POA about SDCC and the Rattler and he was giving other companies crap abput using other peoples IPs.
I would like to ask him what the steel brigade is all about then?
I know that hasbro might have let the trademark go, but make up your own forces and don't name them after a GI Joe product.
@@bradwhite9178 yeah I totally agree..
I think it’s funny that you are going after Bobby when Hasbro is a terrible company. Maybe you should go after their terrible business practices and how they do not care about their employees.
@@faceless.appalachia I do I have a live stream talking bad about Hasbro just last night
Michael from Retroblasting? Is that you? 🤔
1. Bobby addressed the ankle issue on series 3 and sent out replacements to everyone for free
2. He is doing a breast cancer figure that is coming out this October with proceeds going to charity.
3. He invited a child cancer survivor to his office to review series 1 and gave him a ton of free figures.
4. He put $500, $200 & $100 in cash in some of his Arsenal Tins as a think you to the fans.
5. He lowered prices while everyone was raising them and gave free shipping on their first vehicle that wasn’t crowdfunded.
You should reach out to him cause you don’t know the real person and not the one joking on 3POA
@@jordanwithington2922 it sounds like Bobby is trying to cover up for his mistakes and the flaws with his product. He should be on top of his production so he doesn’t have to do all these things to make up for it…
@Toyenhancer not really I just know him as an actual person and you are very incorrect in alot of what you said
@@jordanwithington2922 I would very much like to have him on the show. Maybe he can defend himself🤷🏻♂️
@@Toyenhancer send him a message then
@@Toyenhancer I think this is all about perspective. I don't see it as covering up for his flaws - if the product is defective or ill-designed in a way and Bobby provides a resolution for it - that's good customer service. The most recent issue with the Vanguard and the lack of the machine gun turret having up/down pivoting motion was widely criticized and he is sending out a replacement part to remedy that.
Nothing is perfect but as long as there is some indication that he's listening to criticisms and working on it, then that's improvement.
I hate that I watched this and I hate even more that I’m commenting, but I had to say, this is one of the worst videos I’ve ever watched on TH-cam.
😂😂 thank you so much
That is bad luck on Pandora. Unfortunately the first wave of females has a known issue of a defect in the ankles. If you ask nicely and explain the problem they will send you replacement parts or a new figure.
@@jeffmorris508 that’s awesome!! seems like a lot to go through, but very nice of Bobby to do that…
@@Toyenhancer _Nice_ would have been you giving him the benefit of the doubt before posting this...
Never bought any of his stuff and if any new toy breaks on me i will be pissed . A lot of so called collectors like him because they are a holes just like him . His toys dont even look that good so i have never got the hype for them .
The ladies wave 1 were made at a different factory and they had bubbles in the molds. Neck pegs broke and some other parts. I’ve only had 2 factory defects from the 60 figs I’ve purchased.
I think he offered replacement pieces too, if memory serves correctly.
Same. I have over 100 Action Force and only one hip issue from wave 1 I fixed myself
Manufacturing flaws like that occur from time to time (not just in Action Force). What did Bobby say when you reached out with your issue, or did you not give him the opportunity to make things right? Did you honestly just jump online to piss and moan because Booby made an Anchorman parody joke about Rattler backers? Come on, man. You claim to like 3POA (and the language there gets pretty salty), you're part of the GI Joe Uncensored group, but Bobby uses a little profanity, and you gotta jump on youtube with your... exposé?
@@timothyward8695 i’m not trying to contact Bobby about a used figure that is pretty freaking old… compared to what he has out now... It was a gift from a friend. The video was more so about Bobby‘s all around attitude and his hate for Hasbro… he doesn’t understand that he could have so much more potential if he didn’t do things like that.. I wanted to say at least open one and held it and moved it around. And lo and behold the freaking foot breaks.🤷🏻♂️ I could care less about the figure. I’ll repair it because my friend gave it to me and that’s why I like it. Should I have to repair it? QC issues Bobby had. 100% not.
@@Toyenhanceryou do know that Bobby addressed this issue months ago about the boots? He was willing to give you a spare boot if you emailed him the problem. Plenty of people had the issue and got compensated fairly. You’re just a bit late to that ban wagon as the early release figures from that wave were addresses to fans and he fixed them. Hasbro won’t do that and haven’t done that with anyone or to their own products.
My sentiments exactly!
@@rokkieteller5421 truly didn’t know about that. Like I said I’m just now opening my first two figures
That’s a bad ass shelf you got there! Some great figs out on display in your collection indeed
@@Sabir_DelNorte thank you
Vehicles too my bad I see the Vamp upgrades back there too 😆 forgot to mention
For the figures, I had problems with my Duster and Night ops Steel Bridage switching heads and hands. They are really rigid. I have all of the female figures and they have been pretty good. The Swarm Tracers (the glow in the dark version) are probably some of the best figures from Valaverse in my opinion. I also bought the Legend of the white dragon two pack which those figures require head swaps for differently looks. Those swapped perfectly so definitely a huge difference from earlier waves but yea I have experienced some brittleness in the past. I watch 3POA most weeks and I know Bobby rhetoric could be a little much sometimes. He seems like a nice dude but I think people do enjoy the commentary. I don’t agree with everything he says but it is interesting hearing about kind of the ins and outs of the toy industry. Ryan is an awesome dude and they both still collect Hasbro stuff. I used to think it came across as straight hating but they are fans of the product and just wish for better practices. I’m sorry Pandora broke on ya. Hopefully that is just a one off and you have a better experience if you open another. I’m of the mind of enjoy both classified and Valaverse and they are mixed in all on the same shelf. They just compliment each other well. I usually stay out of the bashing. There are things Hasbro does that I love, somethings that hate. Same thing with Valaverse and same thing with other companies. The only company I have seen 100% losses were anything I have gotten from Super 7. Anyways, interesting take. Hopefully next one goes well!
@@thomasgoesnostalgic thank you so much. I appreciate it. I may try to open one more. And I did like the new line that’s about to come out. We’ll see ,I may give it a go. Maybe Bobby will just stop talking trash and I can feel better about opening them.
I get that Bobby is an acquired taste. If you're good at something, you should be confident. He probably owns more GI joes than both of us. He has stock and Hasbro. He just calls BS when he sees it and tries to hold a billion dollar company to a higher standard so that us the customers can get a better product
Salvation lies from within
Sounds like Bobby broke your heart.
Have you reached out to Valaverse?
They are very good if a figure has a QC issue taking care of the issue with your figure.
@@phoenixrisingcreations I haven’t .. this just happened right before the video … was going to talk about how I like his figs but hate his attitude.. then that happened 🤷🏻♂️
@Toyenhancer toy companies will have QC issues in products, for example the version 2 Firefly. That figures ab crunch QC issue. Hasbro knew it and still released the figure.
I found a way to have a v2 Firefly that would not fall over all the time because of the issues, I actually used the Valervers urban Commando figure.
I have a video I made on it.
Yes, Bobby is very outspoken, and we all know there is no love lost between him and Hasbro.
It just seems like a lot of people are now saying stuff about him because of what he said on the last 3POA podcast about the haslab rattler.
He's talked a lot about Hasbro in general over many months, but now people are hating on him because he made valid points.
I got the “I’m the Alpha Male” dude vibes from the little content I’ve seen with Bobby. He may be the nicest guy in the world but I want nothing to do with people like that. I have no idea about the personalities of the Hasbro team and that’s what I prefer.
I dont know any "alphas" that are 5'6"
I've got a ton of Action Force figures and offerings and I manhandle them all swapping parts out and the only thing deterimental was the loosening of the drop down legs on one of them. But I do remember earlier series having issues with their joints and breakages but Valaverse has since remedied them.
I do wish they had more variety as there's only so much you can do with reused parts and bodies. It took up to like series 5 to really give us a change in base bodies and gear/weapons.
I've been getting more and more into Classifieds recently but I can't subscribe to some of the plastics they use for their stuff. I'd rather something be more rigid than gummy.
Bro sounds like John C. Reilly 😂
I see both sides of the argument. I like how Bobby gives his perspective from a toy maker’s point of view (albeit a jilted lover’s so to speak); but I own about 90% of his Action Force figures and am happy with them.
I also own the majority of Classified G.I. Joes and am mostly happy with them. Their designs are great (but I have received a couple of floppy duds as well) but mainly their weapons mostly suck. That’s ok because I use Gridiron Studios weapons as replacements- which brings me to my last point on Bobby V.
Toyenhancer, you’re right. Bobby V has even talked shit about Gridiron. I think the dude just can’t help himself. Of course, I don’t think he cares what others may think of him.
I’ll continue to buy both Valaverse and Hasbro, but I’m done watching 3POA and any Valaverse livestreams unless they are only talking about upcoming releases and dates because they are just too negative.
Last thing. You had me dying with your quip about his bourbon! lol!
Thanks for the video.

@@WraithMace Agreed, the vid looked really good!
I collect both lines, had classifed issues and some action force figures. If you reached out to valaverse customer service they would have taken care of that QC issue. Both lines are fun. His plastic is harder but not cheap, hasbro joes have had some gummy issues. Neither line has found that perfect plastic. I'd say just collect what you enjoy and just not watch any Bobby videos. I'm sure all company's run their mouths, Bobby just puts his out there. I am all in on joes and sprinkle in the action force figs. Valaverse weapons help give your joes some realistic weapons.
Absolutely agree on everything you say about Vala and his personality.
If you don't mind the question. I have noticed that the harder the plastic the less effective the regular super glue is on it. Which glue do you use for hard plastic?

@@Toyenhancer I will give it a try thank you.

My issue with AF is that they're extremely bland-looking.
That's a fair viewpoint especially if Everytime Hasbro comes out with something fans have been waiting for only to see the other side poking fun at it I can definitely see the same old song and dance get a little tiresome. I enjoy both but lean more on the gi joe for the cobra products.
I think the Valaverse figures aren't as good as some praise them. I've had a couple but refuse to support that line also because Bobby V. comes off as a prick. Get over the Hasbro thing and move on with creating lackluster figures.
@@ethompson9107 yes exactly. He’s concentrating on the wrong thing. He just needs to tighten his lineup. puts way too much effort in hating Hasbro.
The same reason why I stopped collecting Action Force as well. I really don’t like Bobby’s arrogance and blatant disrespect towards collectors and consumers of his products.
The pulp fiction scene 🎬 lol 😂
@@willr7284 i’m glad you like them💜 I thought it worked out great😂
I've been saying the exact same thing for a while. I've purchased a few of Valaverse figures, mostly to part out for customs and experienced breaks and generally poor QC, in one aspect or another, with most of them. And it's true, all companies experience QC issues from time to time, but usually not at the extent that Action Force has.
In their (I won't say "his," for reasons I will get to) defense, I have heard that they are pretty good at replacing broken products with new ones. However, there's nothing they're doing that excuses the childish behavior of Bobby, himself. The grudge he holds against Hasbro and the animosity he has toward a lot of other toy companies overshadows everything else he does. You'd think, before talking crap on the lion's share of the community, both companies and FANS, he would go to the effort to get his own house right.
Or, you know, just let the shit go and move on.
One. I'll take that SWARM off your hands. Second Bobby is a straight up good guy and so is his company. I bought a figure and was missing a knife. Contacted the company and was sent a new one without issue. Another thing, V2 Bone Collector was made available on the website to keep scalpers from making money.
Good guy for his customers, not a good person if you are another independent toy company. Talk to some of them and find out their opinion. Some of the things he has done, have not been done with the most integrity.
Hit me up on messenger. I’ll part with the sworn
@@Getbaddudes I think Gridiron Studios not wanting to do products for Valaverse based on Bobby's comments was the only one I've heard of having some sort of reaction to it.
@@Rakerong I heard about Gridiron doing that also. That was just based upon things he said, which is odd they wouldn’t capitalize on the business anyway. My prior comment is based upon behind the scene stuff that other toy company owners have told me. Nothing I am going to publicly snitch about and name names.
Did TalkerArt come back?😅
😅 I enjoy both lines I am one of those collectors that just got back into it and I don't want to go back to the three and three quarter I collect limitly Yes each line has their faults The valiverse has no problem fixing theirs I haven't seen much with Hasbro your comments are good I don't think he hate you for it some things make people a better person at least I hope the community needs more real people. 👍🏾

Preach!!!!! Baby Vala needs to shut up and just make toys...
💯👍
Wow that conversation with Vala was really bad. Im surprised you haven't taken your channel down. It's amazing that YOU are judging someone else's character. Keep screaming at the mountain top and you'll find the bottom.
I 100% agree with Aaron. Bobby needs to stop throwing shade at hasbro and worry about his own business.
Thanks buddy. I appreciate it.👍
I got into Valaverse due to a friend getting me some weapons. I bought the masked agents, but I never liked Bobby. Quality wise, you have to soak the figures in warm water otherwise the joints will snap.
I thought about collecting action. But after that con where he was waiting to fight with his back up. Because someone said mean words to him. Ok personal honor or sticking up for yourself or whatever it. But he keeps getting baited. And lead around by the haters. But I also don’t want him to just be a robot. It just feels like if I’m cool with this and let it slide. Next year I’ll be neck deep in dramatube getting baited my damn self

@@SameTimeToys thank you brother. I appreciate the comment.!!💯💜👍
800 figures?! Damn man. Im not really big into figures anymore. Im more into Gunpla now. I still have a few of the MCU marvel legends, but thats it
Aren't those still figures?
@@holonet1 no. They are model kits. They do make gundam figures, but they're lik $80 for the cheap ones lol.
it’s too expensive and some of the recent versions feel inferior. My husband and I loved the weapons kits from Valaverse but we love how female Gi Joe classified look FEMININE.
Sorry i don’t want to sound crude buti find female valaverse figures look butch.
Valaverse figures me and my husband collected we kitbashed and found the plastic is very inferior.
One of the things i love about Gi Joe Classified! I can take Akiko and Jinx and make them look like me!❤
I don't like many of Hasbro positions as a company but still they get some of my money. Classified right now is killing my wallet, same as Valas.
lol I like Action Force, I like Bobby’s attitude too. I guess he can come across as arrogant, but he’s also the most accessible tor creator I know of.
Sorry you had a bad experience. Maybe I’ve been lucky, but never had a problem with one. I’ve had so many problems with Classified figs though, just saying, I’ve also had a couple problems with my favorite line from Mattel.
He actually loves Joes, he praises more than he criticizes if you listen. One of his criticisms is GoFundme aspect of major billion dollar businesses.
And thanks to Vala, Gi Joe quality has improved a little.
You also can’t compare a small business to major corporation. And I disagree on the quality of Action Force from the one experience you had. But it’s a free country 😉
Oh shit man, I’m so sorry the figure broke like that! I knew how you felt about Bobby and his personality in his videos. This was not the hopes I had for your take on the line, but you are a man who knows what he needs from a figure. If they didn’t pass muster, that’s disappointingly. I’ve had a very different experience with the ones I have. And I have manipulated them enough to say I have not had one break so easily. But for you, this is the Super 7 Joes all over again as a start….i get it.
If you ever wanna see, those boxed ones…lol! I’ll roll the dice!
@@ryantorney5581 yeah no worries, bro. I do like the fig. I’m gonna fix it. It’s just that if this happens to other people, are they going to be able to fix it? Probably not. And it’s not your fault. It broke. I love the fig because you gave it to me more than anything.👍💜💯

@@ryantorney5581 love you Crow!! Your the man👍
We all have our personal biases. For instance, why are you questioning the success of Valaverse and not Hasbro? How often does anyone see Action Force on a steep discount at an Ollie's?
And if you are wondering, I do not collect Action Force or G.I. Joe. I have no skin in the game.
@@trentrolfingsmeier that’s a very easy answer. Bobby’s figures aren’t in Walmart, target, GameStop, he doesn’t have the production that Hasbro does so you will never see his in Ollies…. he’s still a small company compared to Hasbro. That’s why I don’t understand why he would downplay them. If I was him, I wouldn’t say nothing about Hasbro.
The only figures I’ve had see more breakage and QC problems with than Valaverse are Super7. I quit collecting both lines because of it.
I was missing parts from one of the plate carrier packs because I bought it from big bad toy store. He will not do anything but I contacted big bad toy store and they refunded me. I really don’t care for the guy.
I've had one Valaverse figure break at the ankle joint. The female Steel Brigade. Valaverse put out a statement about the issue and apologized for the qc issue.
I sent them an email with a photo and they sent me a replacement in less than 10 days.
Classified isn't more durable. I've had two Zaranas break out of the box. And my pimp daddy destro has paint smudges. As for Bobby Vala's personality, if you can't take a joke or a rash talker, then it's your problem. You're coming off as Hasbro can't do anything wrong, guy.
I collect both lines and I can tell you. Hasbro isn't up to par with the qc like both Jada and Valaverse.
@@KensToys74 I collect all lines. And haven’t had to have anything replaced from Hasbro. But I know one thing I don’t see Hasbro talking bad about Bobby..🤷🏻♂️.. as far as jokes, he must be telling the longest joke in his entire life because that’s all I hear him talk about
@@Toyenhancer Nahh He's gone after Super 7 longer. LoL.

Don't give up your day job, if you're getting pissed about your toys breaking when you play with them and about the guy that makes the toys, please find a new hobby.
@@BlkRamGuy I would never quit my day job. I make way too much money.😂😂 in fact, the video was not to be about a broken toy. It’s about Bobby’s attitude. I happened to open up my very first action force figure that was given to me by my best friend. And lo and behold the first one I ever touch snap like a twig. This never happened to me before specially with classified. I’ve opened over 350 classified and never had a broken figure. And believe me I’m rough with my toys. This one seemed to break with very little effort… so I talked about it, but you have to keep in mind. I was just opening this so I can say I opened one. And it breaks. Not coincidence. That’s poor craftsmanship.
Love the new “unfiltered” series! I now want a shirt with the catch phrase “ketchup motherfu****”. I don’t own any of those figures. G.I. Joes roots are planted too deep in our childhoods and beyond. It’s bad form to crap on G.I. Joe or Hasbo. Fans will buy it if they like it. No need for him to talk trash. If his line is so much “better” the product will do all the talking! I’ve never had a Joe break on me!
@@Great_War_Gallery yes I’ve never had a Joe break on me either.. and buddy that is a great idea that’s going to be our shirt for next month👍👍 shoot me your address in Instagram, or Facebook. I will make sure you receive the first one, absolutely free.👍🔥🔥🔥🔥 thanks bro🔥🔥🔥
I agree with you. I bought 1 figure from him. It was sergeant slaughter. I liked it and planed to get more . Till I meet him at a small con in New England. He opened his mouth and it was all over. I since seen him at cons in New England and no one at his booth. I have watched some of his videos I do care for his politics his bad ego . I will not buy anything from him
I think Valaverse figs are all right. I have a few from the first couple waves, but honestly , I stopped following/buying their product because of Bobby Vala and his personality.
Mine broke as well doing the same thing I tried to pin drill it . And put metal in it then the plastic around it cracked when I tried to move it a little so be careful
Bobby deep down is Like us . He’s really a Joe fan. He just had a bad personal experience working at Hasbro and now he’s very bitter. Tony along with him is a Joe fan but he’s on the hate wagon cause he’s thinks it’s cool . Laser pants is a Johnny Come lately to the Joe line so he just wants to please his friends. Bobby makes some good weapons and the potential is there. My advice , be like monster force and grid iron and companies likes that. Don’t hate on Joe but embrace it . Make figures and weapons and vehicles that can be added to the Joe line. You’ll be more successful for it and will feel better inside.
Your right on the plastic,i had a snow trooper and he had fell from the sink and hit the carpet and broke in half and the plastic was hollow and hard brit
@@dzsquad1965 yes I started noticing these cheap builds with super seven and their G.I. Joe.. now I can basically just thump my finger on a toy and tell the quality it has. Hollow is not good in any plastic. It just makes it weak. Thank you for the nice comment and I appreciate you watching the video.
@@Toyenhancer no problem,I'll be watching brother,and I cancelled my wave with bbts on them valaverse they look shitty after looking at them a few times
I never had any Valaverse figures I was going to get the petorion figure now I might change my mind
why woud you change your mind because of 1 persons opinion buy the damn figure and make up your own personal opinion bro lol
Grievance that the point of reviews trusting people judgements on toys if they are fragile I don't want to waste my money on them
@CrimsonCobraCommander with all due respect to aaron his review was massively biased he opened 1 or 2 figures I own like 20 no issues

We're adults playing with fucking toys make up your own mind 🙄
@@TheRealGrievance1:22 I don't like him either in fact I never liked him I always thought he was a jerk especially to fans of classified but I have heard on multiple occasions that his figures break I don't just take one person opinion I take multiple people opinion I still getting the petorion but that is the only one that interest me. I don't like the faces on his figures except lla few but they don't interest me at all the only other ones I might want be interested is the snow trooper with the mask or the hive that it. I don't like how he is always putting us down. So I do my research it not just one person.
@CrimsonCobraCommander everyone is entitled to their own opinion I don't like how multi billion dollar companies treat us either that's walmart amazon and hasbro but I still buy the products but I don't got thin skin I don't give a fuck about if the owners an asshole if I like the product I buy it it's not for everyone tho so to each their own
Hate ur fig broke, guess i need to open the 8 or so i have to make sure they good! Thx for info!!!
Man! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Arron! This video needed to be made. There’s only one word that I can use to describe Bobby Valla and his personality/attitude. And it is gross. That’s right the word is gross. I don’t know why he tries to shit on everything and I hate to be negative when it comes to toys I mean they’re just fucking toys for Christ sake. But this guy is on one all the time so bitter so jaded so jealous. I fuck with his weapons packs, but that’s as far as I’ve ever bought anything from his line.

head issues with heads too but, only Valaverse figures. like what is the point in giving alternate heads if you can't change them. Like you I can fix it but I should have to
Bobby is not for everyone. His company has been wildly successful for a startup since it began, and it's one of the shining new examples of a small toy company that has succeeded in a market where 2 companies have largely dominated for a decade. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerburg say all kinds of things, and no one really questions them. Since Bobby is minuscule in terms of size and influence compared to them, he's supposed to just be a humble positive dude with no opinions? It doesn't work that way. He has called out Hasbro time and again in hopes they do things better. His stories of his time there are obviously his POV, but we all know large corporations well enough to know that's likely how things go down. He is who he is, and he sticks to his principles. I see people commending Hasbro employees for not firing back. You and I both know if they said a word, they'd be out on the street before the next business day. It does create spice and it's not for some. If you don't like him, that's fine. However, he is a success story thus far, and his ideas and products have been pretty well received. You have a right to say what you wish and state your opinions, but so does he.
Aye bro. I wanna say you’re entitled to your opinion and I respect that 100%
I do wanna say some things and come in defense for Vala here.
I will agree when Bobby goes off on hasbro and more specifically some of the people he’s worked with gets pretty jarring for me. And also he’s definitely got attitude.
I like that energy sometimes and sometimes it just gets a lil much.
I do feel like his attitude comes from a territory.
The man for most of his adult life has been trying to strive at Hasbro and be a great toy designer. Getting shafted after a long career would definitely leave a scar.
Sometimes I get heated remembering the times a jobs fucked me over and I only worked for a couple months.
I do see good in the man cause he definitely does a lot for his fan base.
But yah. That’s just my two cents.
And lastly that does really suck about your pandora figure. If anything try the customer service Valaverse has. Not sure if they can help out with gifted items but ain’t no trouble trying to ask. I recall other customers having the same issue with pandoras foot having a bubble in it and Bobby issued replacements.
I’m sorry you’re discouraged in getting any more valaverse figures cause there are genuinely good figures in the line.
Anyways man I hope you take care of yourself and you’re still a friend here.

Man. I can't stand that guy and for that reason I don't buy his figure line... Too many Joe fans collecting his line with first hands feedback about his line and Bobby that are not convincing me to buy the figures. 💡☕️
@@Roadpigjohn that’s how I feel. I’m not gonna buy products from someone that talks like a 12-year-old on live streams about a company that made my childhood one of the best generations to ever grow up in.
I also felt Bobby was an asshole too. UNTIL I actually chatted with him. I feel like you're a bit hard on him and too easy on HASBLO. Maybe reach out and talk to him like an adult, rather than disparaging him online? I feel you give Hasbro too much credit when honestly they gouge the fans because of nostalgia. But if you're this angry at a family man, vs a billion dollar company, I just don't know. BTW, 1/3 of my classifieds have qc issues, and I have over 150 now. Hasbro is more interested in DEI policies than giving us fans good deals. It costs less than 2.00 to produce these figs, from design, raw materials and molds, that's it. They could charge 15.00 and still make profit. He's talking trash about the leadership, more than Joe. Guess we'll have agree to disagree. I thought you knew you could love Joe without shilling for the billion dollar company that shits on lore. The GI Joe movies, for example.

@@curseoffenrir that sucks I probably opened over 350 Joe’s total, i’m a big army builder guy, had very minor issues with Bent weapons and some loose leg joints, but nothing major or ever broken.

@@Toyenhancer and he was very open about it, what happened and that he would fix it. Hasbro, I have broke off arms that require jumping through insane loop holes, throwing them in the trash or pinning/super gluing, as well as incredibly loose floppy joints and ankles that flop right over as we even saw in their SDCC display case. What you should do is contact Valaverse see what if anything they can do for you and then share your opinion.
I guess to each there own, I have like 40 action force figure, never had a problem with them, sorry your figure broke , Bobby is normally good at replacing broken figures, I feel your pain, my tiger force roadblock came broken and I had to glue the arm back together, I enjoy Bobby opinion, don't always agree with it, but I think 1/12 miltary action figure comunity is big enough for differenting opinions, I respect your opinon too, even tho, I don't totally agree with it

The rest you can have your opinion but that problem was all over the Valaverse social media, newsletter and mentioned on the 3POA. Sorry you weren’t aware.
You aint wrong. Only bought his comics and they were horrible.350 for a Rattler when we drop G notes on other figures. Isn't taking in the bum like says either. Heck got joe collectors paying thousands for in the box vintage who just want a 350 Rattler for office or toy room. Found that odd.

I want to say is remember Gi joe ARAH has a long running lore that hasbro can pull from. Bobby with action force is creating the characters as he goes and creating the lore for them at the same time . Series 5 of Action force is a good example of Bobby creating completely new characters.

@@Toyenhancer 👍 Its all good! I understand what your saying Brother! I don't always agree with bobby on sometimes with the things he says, example is the rattler. In my opionion life is short and if somebody wants the rattler they should go for it and enjoy it. On a side note, after watching I did check my Action figures and i did feel a difference . Keep up the great videos 🍻
I don't think I've ever seen an interview with Bobby vala but always sounds like everyone says the same thing bad personality very negative always hear the same thing about that toy line tends to break easily. It's sad cuz a lot of those figures actually look good
@@bobbywold2311 I agree, Bobby. You wouldn’t want to see any of his interviews. Because he constantly just badmouth Hasbro. It’s like his obsession…. but when we ask questions about his toy line, he’s very short and overprotective… kinda like talking to a 12-year-old😂😂
Didn't realize you toy boys are so into your fefees! You know that Bobby will send you another foot, maybe a replacement figure if you contact his website. I've collected for 40 years and collect Hasbro, Mcfarlane,Valaverse and others. I've yet to break a figure. Maybe Pandora wasn't designed to be put in your ass! So Valaverse figures are hard, Hasbro are gummy, Mcfarlane is in between and Neca is glue and sawdust! Bobby is the little guy, not a billion dollar company like Hasbro, who still has to crowdfund. I paid for my lone Dragonfly a year ago and don't know when it's coming! Guaranteed my Vanguard I preordered in March will arrive first. Then Hasbro wants me to fund a $350 Rattler I may not see for nearly two years! Everyone has a right to vent but you might want to get off Hasbro's junk and be honest. If not for Bobby we wouldn't be getting extra hands and better accessories from Hasbro. Also the Pulp Fiction clips make no real sense and the whole video seems like you had to build up some liquid courage to get worked up sufficiently. At the end of the day we pay for these products, we don't owe them anything else. Have a blessed day and keep them figures out of your ass!😂
@@madmike8v72 the pulp fiction video is meant to resemble how Hasbro must’ve treated Bobby for him to be so spiteful👍 have a good day, sir
Let me start by saying that sucks that Pandora foot broke. My personal experience with close to 80 action force, figures. I have never had that happen. But if you reach out to them, I have seen on more than one occasion they will send out a replacement part. From what I’ve witnessed from a handful of others. They are pretty good about getting back to you.
I get what you're trying to say but honestly dude, no one owes you anything, good attitude or not. You just sound strangely entitled
@@kikacruz4560 totally agree no one owes me nothing. But don’t forget to hit that like button.😂
Not this time. Maybe next one ;)
lost a hand adjusting to you hold a rifle was actually just swiveling it
I'm one of those guys that never really gets worked up over the bad mouthing that takes pace from Vala, but his comments about the fans and supporters of the Rattler really struck a chord. If he hates Hasbro, that's fine. If he hates what they are producing, that's fine. But hating the fans, just because they like toys produced by a company he doesn't like? That's petty.
I didn't buy any Valaverse figures until last year. I didn't hate them, I've just always been a strict GI Joe collector. I like other stuff, just not enough to collect it. However, I finally bought a couple of the Action Force figures, and I liked them. I didn't have any major problems with the handful of figures I've bought. One of them is starting to separate at the sides where the neck swivel is, so I have to heat the head up to swap it out, but that seems like a fluke. The plastic does seem harder than what Hasbro uses, and who knows how it will age. I have also had a couple or the guns break at their thinnest sections, but those are obviously made out of a harder plastic. Overall, I was happy with my purchases, but not as impressed with any of the figures as a lot of other folks have been. The only Action Force figure I loved, was the Swarm Tracer. I thought the figure line was good, but not near as groundbreaking and original as Vala and his friends make it out to be. I mean, obviously it is no where as iconic as GI Joe, nor will it ever be.
I don't own near as many Classified figures as you, but I own over a hundred of them. Other than warped accessories, I've never had any major issues with any of the figures. I've had to heat some up to free joints, but that seems to be how modern toys are these days. I have a couple that appear to be looking up a bit more than I like, but no other paint issues, and no breakage. A few of the older ones have loosened up a bit, but they all still pose and stand just fine. I gripe when Hasbro gets something wrong, so I don't pretend the line is perfect. I also don't make any excuses for Hasbro. I am fully aware that they are a corporation, and their goal is to make as much money as they can. I don't look at them as being evil though.
I don't expect Vala to not express any opinions just because he owns a toy company, but he does take it too far. I'm not going to burn any of my Action Force figures in protest or anything, but I've reached the point where he is being too big of an a-hole for me to ignore. I know losing me as a customer won't mean anything to him, but I just can't spend hard earned money on his stuff anymore. Even if it is cool. I spent my entire career in the public eye. Sometimes you have to bite your tongue, or it gets you in trouble. He can't just run his mouth, and expect people to not get upset. Like you said, a lot of his Action Force fans collect both lines. I'd guess the majority of them do. I think most of them just ignore him, and focus on the toys. However, every one of those fans have a threshold, and one by one, most of them will have had enough of his crap. I doubt it'll put him out of business, but it will certainly keep his company from being as successful as Hasbro or GI Joe. I seriously doubt he will ever be any real competition to them. I imagine he'll rock on for several more years, until he burns too many bridges. Then, he'll sell his interest in the company, and whine around about how he was betrayed by his "fans".
@@johnlogan9427 this is the best comment I’ve read all night. Very well said, and I totally agree with you on these aspects.👍 thank you sir💜💯
@@Toyenhancer thanks! I'm usually pretty objective, and I try to ignore jumping on any bandwagons. I actually listened to several of his comments in the latest 3POA podcast several times, just to make sure I wasn't taking them the wrong way. I felt some of his points were valid, and I'm not the type of guy that isn't going to like him just because he has a different opinion. I just believe I've heard enough from him this time. I've never backed a Haslab, and unless something changes, I doubt I will back the Rattler, so it's not like I'm trying to defend a purchase or anything. He may be an awesome person in real life, and I truly hope he is. Unfortunately, all I have to go on is the impression he leaves through his interviews and videos.
16:38 That comment from there to the end is what got under Bobby's skin because its just simply true & he knows it. I havent been paying attention because these people arent worth a bucket of pss & only came across this because of course "Chad's" rebuttal video popped up. Funny how these fake tough guys can run their mouth about anything & everything but yet when somebody random does to them they immediately get in defense mode so quickly like women. Year after year its always the same crew involved in something dramatic but everyone else is the problem right? Its no secret to everyone what the common denominator is! They exhibit extreme hypocrisy with 0 accountability also a common female trait! You can have a opinion just like they do but when its not in their favor its cry city!
@@patientmental875 that is a great comment and very well said. I totally agree. Everyone acted like I’m supposed to know something is wrong with these figures.. I had no clue. The video was just supposed to be about a video on how poor Bobby’s attitude is towards the community of people who buy Hasbro products. And the funny part is he sells his toys to these people. I stepped in a bear trap without knowing. I’m glad my subscribers truly know the person that I am since I do live streaming ,and thank you and everyone else that supports me…💯💜👍
Why display misogynistic tendencies with your comparisons?
@@patientmental875 wow look who’s back from the dead. Funny how you always come up whenever someone makes a video against another company that isn’t Hasbro. How come whenever someone calls you out you go into hiding and pop back up months later. That’s some “real tough guy” behavior your displaying your showing with you running away.
@@Toyenhancer so much for those Subs you’ve earned. How’s that looking for you?
@@rokkieteller5421 Call me out for what? As I said I havent been paying attention to whats going in the toy world, whats funny is rokkie I bet I can go on any Valaverse video right now & there you are simping for another man
Isn't Action Force a rip-off from G.I.Joe never gotten into the Valorverse /Action Force mostly due to a documentary I saw. Belive it was The Toys that made us. I'm pretty sure in there was something about Bobby doing some shady underhanded stuff not only to destroy the Joe line but to even get himself made as a figure
This is gonna be a good week lol I like valaverse I can’t wait till the Vanguard drops but he does have a bit of an ego I enjoy the 3poa podcast more when he’s not on it.
