Ehhhh.... I mean Gi joe classifieds kinda come with a pretty good amount of accessories. Add in a couple of heads and hands they'd probably be in the same price range. Of course that's their in house brand so they can add in more stuff. I don't collect Legends/Black series so can't speak on those.
@@rfppublishing yeah right, don’t get how more people aren’t in the loop….. he’s the one that’s been making hundreds of head sculpts and more that the custom figure making community know well - and now he’s doing an entire line! Check it out hey! And I’d love more support for it as I really want those figs as well!:) cheers man:)
Really looking forward to this entire line. Hope it succeeds so we can get more waves. Also, how awesome would it be if Marauder Gunrunners started doing the 1/18 lines into a 1/12?
Just preorder the whole wave and some extra troopers as they are perfect 😍 ,as the vampire solders look like there from blade, and the sleep walker troopers you can use for hydra troopers to go against captain America. 🎉
I ordered a few. Hopefully the quality is good and it would be nice if the figures could swap out headsculpts or other pieces with Marvel Legends. If things are good I could order more, guess I'll find out.
Looks impressive. We all know Hasbro think that the fans exist solely to make money for them. Look at the new PS2 Spider-Man, all reuse for $35. You have to compare these to 4Horseman which are $35 & Valaverse. They have the same thing in common: expensive international shipping. I would be interested in some of these, especially Dracula, if his accessories are two voluptuous blond & redhead.
Sculpting and accessories and seriously awesome!! So true, hasblo in general is just a total rip off….. look at what these smaller companies are offering - and they’ll be trying to make profits and break even themselves with these prices - so shows how much big companies are screwing us over with re-use etc!
With McFarlane giving mostly new sculpts and also Mattel making seven inch figures under $25 and both companies using more plastic. The value in Legends is not the best deal.
Totally agree. A nuance Ive noticed - I watched the Diamomd select castevania Dracula figure in stock for a few months, sell out here, then there, stupidly missed him twice by a bees d*ck, and then sell out in AU, then throughout US all stock already gone (AU stock was running longer at lower price point), then find a few here and there over course of last 2-3 years on eBay only, nowhere else than a random pop up on Amazon (same figure from same person for higher price (Amazon shows prices increasing and decreasing), then eBay sell out over and over again, and is now so hard to find you have to pay through the toothless mouth left from frustration………:/ SO > this figure in my opinion will sell extremely easily without the equal accessories and for same price point as others.
I noticed for the totally someone really wants. Better to get itat retail price when out. Because can't tell if it will be found later? Got to pay more.
@@rfppublishing yep. Or wait sitting watching eBay for 2 years, for that tiny split second it gets advertised by someone not caring about price and having to move/whatever. Saw 3, missed 2, and last one fell asleep before bidding ended:/ dam!
True but independent companies have to charge more because they are small. And these don't seem like a mass retail chain item is another reason costs are up. Nut yeah it's not for everybody and that is okay.
A complaint of most people who collect the 4" Eagle Force line has been the almost total absence of accessories (save for a few hands, a pistol and maybe an extra head). For $27 US the Eagle Force figures basically are just the figures and fans are told it's impossible to accessorize a figure at that price. But, for only a few bucks more, Monster Force has multiple different heads, tons of specific weapons and some amazing paint apps and sculpts. After seeing these I'm cancelling my Eagle Force preorders and walking away as I think this is where Fresh Monkey Fiction is putting their efforts.
I'm interested in the Dracula figure the most because to me this is what I want Drac to look like. So yeah looking forward to get him in hand next year sometime.
I think this is a very well thought-out line. The designs are cool, sure, so that's great but they also clearly put a lot of thought into the pieces they included in the figures. If you look at the soldiers, the parts they come with allow you to create an insane number of combinations just from a single figure. All of those add ons, pouches, and accessories can be moved around the figure, plugged into different ports on the body and the head and the weapons. This is how you get a lot of mileage out of a figure, and (I assume) it helps to keep tooling and production costs down. Great for the makers and the consumers. I'm really jazzed about this announcement. I can't wait to start popping the pieces around to discover the looks that I like the most. I'm going to pick up one of the Santas first to see how their product turns out but if he looks good and feels solid in hand, then I might dive pretty deep into this new line.
I also like the fact the base body sculpt on it's own does not seem to need the extra parts. Sometimes of these figures with accessories the body sculpt is made in a way that without the accessories it does not look right. Yes I see good army builder potential with the swap parts and weapons.
And I hope these mo’fo’s take over the world! I’ve suggested a number of toy lines to places like valaverse for a competing faction idea of battles and for war - and never hear anything back. Always disappoints me when another success story won’t support the next up and coming people or even mention them, or have any of his fan base realise and see the potential like what he did with his experiences and views. F.I.S.T. Action figures were an easy solution and can’t wait for them to come without needing back of US (yes check your history people with how Americans generally support people from another country!), think these guys will be as fluid as gijoe to use as enemies & frenemies alike. Woooo Hooooo!:)
I bought a Valaverse figure was disappointed it didn't connect with me. I'd rather have the GI Joe Classified which I am liking so far. Then a company that is trying to copy off the GI Joe line of figures.
@@rfppublishing eh, look into back story of Bobby Vala. He is a punk In many ways. He’s doing amazing things for toy community, but I can’t argue if you don’t connect. For many it was timing and being able easily add into gijoe line as look so similar. I love what valaverse is doing - just think he needs be careful not becoming what he left.
I see this company getting sued by Gamesworkshop as the weapons for the Sleepwalker Obsidian, Sleepwalker Crimson Moon and Sleepwalker Heavy Weapons are stolen from one of their model ranges.
You guys heard about: - savage crucible? (Amazing people with an amazing mindset, growing rapidly!) - Biblical Adventures? (D13 toys I think off top head?!:/) ~ Really opened minded guy who has worked on mythic legions for years, so nice to talk to, open to suggestion and available to chat!) - Guardians of Antiquity? (Just saw these (so don’t anything)), like idea as if history makes it’s characters over edited story and rewritten versions of older stories mistreated with a narrative, could be impressive:) Later y’all!
I heard of Biblical Adventures looks interesting so far. I haven't heard of the other companies. I noticed a few other small companies making Roman soldiers.
@@rfppublishing if want Roman soldiers - check out bigbadtoystore. They have a new line - but my favourite by far; Combatants by Xesray 1/12. Those are such awesome figures! On mythic level maybe more for figure movement.
These look cool as shit! I’d like to hear an interview with the creators. They did 4 inch versions in the eagle force line. I’m wondering if the pre orders for those were really high or something.
True with finances too > got new lines coming early from idiot big companies who don’t stick to their release dates - so screws people who plan for things!
It is a mess they released Iron Man with the proton cannon early and the Amazon set in November and both were for December it messed my budget up for the month.
Pretty exciting. I’m liking the look of some of them. Check out their Eagle Force stuff, I got some of their stuff last year. Half tempted to cancel the 4” Forgotten King and pre-order that 6” figure. They have some pretty funny figures as well in the Eagle Force line.
Yeah I saw it nice stuff but didn't want to collect that scale. But these look GI Joe compatible. I will probably buy one or two when out. And if I like it get more. So far I like the generic military guys and the white Egyptian suit figure.
Suddenly since valaverse and hascrap started, you have a legion of low brow upstarts trying to make action figure dollies better than hascrap. And charging more. This is a mistake. Charge less and maybe you'll have a new customer 😉
So true but all these crowd funded yes can't expect them to be cheap. I noticed last few years the Jurassic Park line and the MOTU that the 6 inch or the 7 inch scale has now become an industry standard for many companies.
If we are being honest. Hasbro will give you an extra set of hands and an extra head and called that a deluxe. They are that cheap. This is why I wait till everything goes on clearance. And if I miss out so be it
Good idea, bloody hands, bloody face and maybe swap arms and jacket with blood on it. Compared to the others for the same price accessory wise you get a lot less.
I am going to keep the generic troopers with masks on look. No need for the vampire face. I just wonder how they will scale with Legends or GI Joe classified.
I'm all in, I love Fresh Monkeys 4 inch figures. Theses look equal to the likes of Legends, Classified, Valaverse, they may cost more then Legends but you get more accesories, and the price of Legends keeps creeping up.
Great in depth review on this toy line & I agree Hasbro has gotten lazy. Charging more for less and this Monster force line deserves more than a 2nd look. I may bite on these, no pun intended lol
Thanks I am going try two and if I like it will see about getting more. Until the product is actually in hand you can't really tell. I am in no hurry for this set just yet as a lot of figures are going to be hitting this holiday season.
Hasbro would charge $50
For sure.
Look no further than the Venom and Knull 2 pack. Basically $40 each figure.
It does come with a lot of accessories 🤷🏻♂️
With that many accessories? This mfer would be a Haslab
Ehhhh.... I mean Gi joe classifieds kinda come with a pretty good amount of accessories. Add in a couple of heads and hands they'd probably be in the same price range. Of course that's their in house brand so they can add in more stuff. I don't collect Legends/Black series so can't speak on those.
And new line FIST action figure from Donmanart that’s on Kickstarter right now > those figs look great too!
Thanks took a look did not know about these figures.

These look amazing for price!
And love to be supporting a smaller company than the big greedy ass ones……:/
Great vid man - excited for these:)
Thanks yeah hope the final product is good these are only digital renders they are displaying.
Really looking forward to this entire line. Hope it succeeds so we can get more waves. Also, how awesome would it be if Marauder Gunrunners started doing the 1/18 lines into a 1/12?
I can see some good ACBA with Blade, Dracula, and the Vampire troop builders.
Just preorder the whole wave and some extra troopers as they are perfect 😍 ,as the vampire solders look like there from blade, and the sleep walker troopers you can use for hydra troopers to go against captain America. 🎉
They have a Warhammer and Steampunk vibe!
I’m interested I just wish they started out a little smaller and done season two also
I ordered a few. Hopefully the quality is good and it would be nice if the figures could swap out headsculpts or other pieces with Marvel Legends. If things are good I could order more, guess I'll find out.
I agree so far want two and then it depends how much I like it when it is actually made.

The name reminds me of action force figures
The weapons at 8:36 are straight up ripped off from Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii from 40k.

1st one can do range viper
I saw these the other day, but I don't like that $37 price tag. And they all seem to have the same head sculpts with different helmets.

No idea as I don't follow that line. Well if they get notice I am sure they will just change the design simple to do.
These look interesting. I need to mull it over for a while if I will pre-order any.

Yes outside of exclusives the regular figures go on sale on the Amazon and other websites.
Is this the same Monster Force as the cartoon?
Not sure.
What more would you want from a Dracula figure. Perhaps a bloody head I guess.
Good idea, bloody hands, bloody face and maybe swap arms and jacket with blood on it. Compared to the others for the same price accessory wise you get a lot less.
Almost looks like street humans..
I am going to keep the generic troopers with masks on look. No need for the vampire face. I just wonder how they will scale with Legends or GI Joe classified.
They look interesting. At the price point they come with more than a Hasbro deluxe w less, but cheaper than Hasbro lol.
Wish them luck!
Yeah I agree competition is good.
I went in on this line 100%. They seem to warrent it, so I got two of each.

@@rfppublishing I agree so many surprise drops of Gi Joe classified and Marvel legends right before the holidays and black Friday sales
You said it and made me think of something. Marvel legends is the “standard “ everything else is deluxe. 🤣
but they do not look very posable.
They said 20 points articulation but these appear to be digital renders so who can say what the final product will look like at this point.
