Check out the Vanguard on the Valaverse site. valaverse.com/pages/vanguard Also! I was wrong about the Reaper figure in the video. I didn't zoom in on the product shot and thought that the close-up of the infantry figure was the Reaper. kzread.infoPQxCyjKtroc

11:26 CORRECTION: that is not the Reaper, that is just a Desert Army Trooper. The Reaper does have a unique look and design.

I bought 2. I have been wanting a 1/12 scale battle truck for so long and for me, this was the answer. I eventually want to get more of them along with several Vamps. I want a whole convoy of land vehicles.

im going to get both versions to me its its more real world near future elite military

Thanks for watching! Do you have plans for the two of them, or just don't want to pick just one?

That driver and the desert trooper are not the same. Look more closely at the pictures.

Thank you for watching! Yeah, things like the RAM cycle, the Flight Pod, if they come out with stuff like the CLAW, or even the Sky Hawk and Firebat, those are cool. Small footprint, cheap, doesn't take up a lot of space. My HISS Tank is taking up an entire shelf on it's own, forget when the Fireteam and SMS get here. And this thing is bigger? To me, with the consideration to money and space, I'm not sure it's worth the investment.

Step back on the black series tie fighter, it also was deco’ed for the sequels trilogy which absolutely no one wanted. Give it the OT deco it would’ve sold much better. Comparing it to the rattler is apples and oranges. Now I do think the 1:12 vehicle craze will crash when people’s spacial orientation returns and they see how these aren’t gonna fit. That said, I’m seriously leaning to the vanguard as a one off 1:12th for myself. It’s something different and based on a real vehicle (which does have military applications BTW. I think people believe all military looks “rough” for lack of a better term). The reaper fig is a new figure btw. I’ve got zero plans for the vamp, dragonfly etc, I’ve got them from previous releases. I’m well aware of the space they take up at a lesser scale so I don’t need to scale up. Also crowdfunds charge when they fund, not when they ship (often over a year later).

I'm pretty sure you must know that shipping is free to you guys in the US. They were charging me $125 shipped to London. I got it from Canada, where shipping is only $30. I get most of the Haslabs for Legends, Black Series & some of the GI Joes. I'm haslabed out no more space, so none for me in 2024.

You are absolutely bang on with this. They are too big. There is only limited space. The 1/12 scale has a short life because of shelf life for sure. Oring 33/4 is by far a better scale for this reason

The drive is a new figure it is not one of the troopers look closer

Part 2 repaints are comimg 11 Tiger Force Tigercat 12 Tiger Force Tigerpaw 13 Tiger force Tigersting 14 Night Force Triple T 15 Vamp 2 16 Dreadnoks Ground assault another redeco of the vamp plus I have no doubt That the Evader w Darklon and the Dispoiler with iron grenadiers Destro is coming because they are starting the iron grenadiers soon that's 18 vehicles coming plus whatever the next haslab

Thank you for watching! See, if those are all true, to me it's kind of ridiculous. We knew the Vamp and Tiger Force repaints were going to be on the table, along with some PP redeco as well (and truthfully, I would have rather seen the RAM in Python Patrol paint rather than TF). But the Stun and the Snow Cat? The Thunder Machine I can kind of understand - it was unique to the line and would help round out the Dreadnoks. I am curious how long this 1/12 vehicle fad is going to last.

GIJoe: Hiss Tank, flight pod, Vamp, Ram Cycle, Dragonfly. Valaverse: Barbie ordering a no-fat latte at Starbucks.

Too big. However valaverse collector's will definitely buy it. It is tbeir first vehicle. The big vehicle phase will die. Love my Hiss tank,the lights etc... but that scale is really huge for vehicle's. I only wanted like maybe 3 big joe vehicle's and 3 Cobra big vehicle's max. I would still rsther get 3.75 scale retromod Hovercraft that address all the areas that are fragile on the original-make new more sturdy. Crown jewel a Defiant updated set 10 figure crew.. then I would retire buying after that set. Big vehicle's just takes up too much space.

Thank you for watching! I do agree with you, I think this 1/12 scale vehicle fad will die out. Too much money and too much space, something collectors, for the most part, do NOT have an infinite amount of. I also got the HISS tank and love it, and I went in on the Dragonfly. Even the Skystriker redo they started the G.I. Joe HasLabs with takes up a pretty decent amount of shelf space. I love the Vamp and I'm going to pick that up, and IF the Rattler is the Classified Haslab this year....I'll probably go in on that as well (even though I'll wonder where I'm going to put it), but people that are saying things like the Moray hydrofoil, and the Killer Whale? Too big. I can't imagine going bigger than the Rattler. Something that's going to take up a lot of shelf space and only holds 2 figures.

I'm on the fence. The price is right, but it takes up a lot of real estate, and like you I am underwhelmed by the driver.

Thank you for watching! Yeah...it's big, but big doesn't always mean better. Like, when I opened my HISS and saw how big that was, the first thing I thought was, "now where am I going to put the Dragonfly???" As for the Reaper driver, did you happen to catch the short I added. I was wrong about the close up pick of the figure, that's not the driver. They didn't include a close-up of the driver for some reason. The Reaper is a new figure but....it still is kinda plain.

@@BrickIntyre Yeah I was going off the images that Valaverse put out with the figure standing by the vehicle. That figure didn't even appear to have any body armor and looked pretty generic

I like the Vanguard I just don't like the valaverse store I can't order anything from it. The store doesn't except my debit card if it was at big bad toys tore I might consider it. But if rumor are true like I said rumors there are 14 at minimum 14 vehicles in the work for Classified 1 Vamp 2 Ferret 3 Stinger 4 MMS 5 SMS 6 Dragonfly All of these been confirmed now for teased 7 Stun 8 Triple T rumors 9 Snowcat 10 Thunder Machine

I just don't like it. It just looks too luxury, and less military. The VAMP may be smaller, but I think it's a better toy. It's hard for me to honestly comment on the Vanguard's price, since It does nothing for me aesthetically.

Thank you for watching! And that's pretty much where I am. I keep saying on I'm the fence about it, but I don't think I'm going to get it. I keep going back to it would make a great S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicle, but not military. It has running boards and molded fenders. I get they did this in partnership with the auto manufacturer, but they should have stripped it down. Streamlined it. Maybe put a brush bar on the front.

185$ for an armored Kia truck, 14$ shipping, plus tax for an armored Kia wagon. HARD PASS. You can get 2 Vamp jeeps for the same price.

Well thanks to people like you he’s adding the missile pods for free if your preorder from his site XD. You like to compare prices so he’s giving it for free. And unlike the Vamp you can put a figure in the back to control the turret and if you can it would be a tight fit. And this “KIA” van as you call it is more realistic than the vamp. Like a “KIA” Car, this is a licensed vehicle that is real and accurate to scale to a real person in action figure form. The Vamp is a cartoonish jeep with military aesthetics. Whine all you like fanBRO! You’re always finding new Action force videos to whine your hatred against the line.
