I didn’t get him, I hated the way he was in the cartoon

toysnowman got an order in for valaverse so it should be a matter of time before they can be bought in Canada

theres also a wave 2 slaughter that looks better that will come out at some point in the future. assuming wave 1 sells well enough.

DO NOT BUY THE BATS AT ANYWHERE BUT RETAIL!!!!


The Bat and Alley Viper are going to be wide releaase at every retailer from the online sites, all the way up to Walmart/Amazon.


As for the Valaverse stuff, so far the reviews have been mostly positive. The price is pretty good as well, although the regular figures are pretty bare bones. Which is why they sell the accessory packs separately. So that basically puts a regular figure at, or above, retail to get a basic set up. The "deluxe" figures are a better value.


Also the basic figures are almost exclusively one mold just repainted. Which is obviously a cost saving method that has been done since action figures began.


Overall the figures are not bad looking, but don't really move me, except maybe the Swarm trooper. However the guy who owns this is so off putting that I can't be bothered to support him.

So far the biggest issue I have seen about Slaughter is his size. He is just barely taller than Snake Eyes, Duke, etc. Also he seems a bit undersized compared to Roadblock.



Other than that he is considered a great representation of the WWE character, but not so much the cartoon version.

Yes you are correct, we must be patient and resist temptation and fear. Those are the path to the dark side.

I?m seeing lots of people finding these on the shelves at targets in the US.

I?m sure they will reach us sometime in January/February and will be everywhere.

Prices at 64.99 on ebay and dropping quick, these will be as plentiful as Cobra Infantrys. I wanted them for Christmas though, a surprise BAT in my stocking like in 86.

Anyone get any of the new Action Force figures getting released of late?

I’m on the fence, think Sgt Slaughter is a bit short for my tastes.

But I’m curious if any of the other figures scratch someones Classified itch?

I ordered some, look great to me, I do not like Sgt Slaughter from the cartoon so did not order him

What GI Joe characters are you envisioning them as?

Other than Steel Brigade of course, he is pretty obvious.
