Former Hasbro designer Bobby Vala has hit a home run with his venture to invest his talents into himself and make his own line of action figures. As I own a few of them, I can tell you that these are 100% top quality figures made of top quality materials. Also, Bobby Vala continues to improve on the figures with each wave. He listens to feedback and wants to deliver a product that not only competes with the other major toy manufactures, but he wants to surpass them.
Most of Valaverse's Action Force Series 1 and 2 have sold out and are climbing steadily on the secondary market. Bobby has stated that some of the figures will be getting an eventual reissue, but right now, he's focused on continuing each new series.
Series 3 will introduce female characters to the brand. In fact, the entire wave will consist of them. Included are the main characters of Eclipse, Kill-Switch, Pandora and a female version of the Steel Brigade. There will also be two new female troop builders in the form of the Delta Trooper and the Special Ops Trooper.
The main characters will cost $31.99, while the troop builders will cost $21.99. All come with figure stands. By today's standards, and from a independent toy company, these prices are fantastic for what you get with each figure.
You can order these direct from Valaverse with a $8 flat shipping rate on all orders (they also ship before anyone else), or you can wait and pre-order them from your favorite online retailer (although, unless you want to wait over 7 months after everyone else gets them, I'd suggest not ordering from BBTS. Sorry, Joel.) (NOTE: They are listed as "sold out" on their site, but they are just placeholders until they open for pre-order on Monday.)
Honestly, I suggest supporting Valaverse directly and ordering from them. They also have quick and excellent customer service.
Here's a look at the upcoming figures. (Pandora would make an awesome female Dreadnok, too!)
