Soon as I found out about these on the Valaverse Channel, I ordered 4. They look good for troop building for my stop motion/photography scenes. Can't wait for them to show up. Great video!
Nice, I got 2 of the elite green guys and didn't get any of the regular ones. The red and black does look nice, i might need to get one or two of them when they go back in stock in November.
These are pretty rad, and I really wish Hasbro went in this direction for the Classified B.A.T.'s instead of going as classic as they went. I might have to get a couple of these.
I wish the forearm connect points for the blades were different or had a panel to peg into them when you aren’t using the blades. The big long slot doesn’t look great. A couple of peg holes, or clipping it on around the forearm would look better. But I’m looking forward to this figure. I don’t have the Elite so this will be my first taste of the robot body.
I only got one. But after this I might get more. I am waiting for a version that is more red. It would look awesome. Or a yellow version swarm version.
@beesbattlegrounds If you can post a video when you do, I'd appreciate it. It's the only reason I circled back to buy the Swarm Horde before BBTS sold out.
Awesome. That’s what I’ve been hoping for. These guys look awesome and I will buy every variant they put out there, just like the Steel Brigade troops.
You're killing it with the reviews, great job. The crimson shadow is the corporation behind the scenes. I'm pretty sure they supply the swarm with their technology. They are mentioned in the novel not they don't make an appearance
def one of the most impressive and interesting fig Vala has done yet. the boss you showed, killswitch, gemini, another blue - fem rep guard, all on my list. green not bad, but not as realistic looking as the black, however, I d be curious to see a mat olive green, army. as it could best both versions in my opinion. and... wow! he comes 'loaded', the blade is reminiscent of the game 'armoured core' a laser blade. and the shields concept is just brilliant! the story ah, it s all over in Vala, they really need to focus on media and show their stuff who s who? you have to study the files with the figs I guess... it worked well for $4 figs in the 80s, but I pay $40 now.... u tube is the perfect platform to do it, just make contests for fans! 'do your pic montage' contest, a prize. all one needs to do is combo action pics that depict a simple story, add music [free] to mix in synch, and voila! it d cost peanuts, only needs to take time to manage it properly. no dialog, it breaks the language barrier, great advertisement, and a little fame for the artists there s way more to do with those than just standing on a shelf amassing dust. they re ACTION figs, not glass cats for grand ma.... so now you know... God bless America and world peace good show bro
I have two regular ones on order, got an Elite in the mystery box deal. Wasn’t going to go out of my way to get an Elite and wasn’t expecting to like it. But once in hand, it grew on me. I’m expecting to be a fan of the regular ones too.
I got an elite at Toylanta both of the arms come off at the bicep swivel and wont lock back in. Great looking figure though. Did they send you the black one early or should i expect my preorder soon? Also no response from Valaverse customer service
I ordered two. I REALLY wanted that Elite! I was never able to get on the site in time to snag one. -__-. The translucent armor reminds me of Micromen (Micronauts.) I badly want it. Need it. But right now I cannot afford the aftermarket aggressive price.
Lmao Vala would hate that comparison at the end, when he copies something it's unique and not actually copying, but when hasbro has the audacity to use a Balaclava head he loses his mind and says that they got the idea from him
honestly considering this guy's design and how many rounded shapes he has, he should pose better. i thought that was entirely the point, other than him just looking cool. thanks for sharing

The red wings from the Swarm Horde BBTS exclusively looks good on the Praetorion.
I'll have to try that out!

Looks good. Got two haven’t received them yet.
Bobby told me at Toylanta there will be more variants coming
Awesome. That’s what I’ve been hoping for. These guys look awesome and I will buy every variant they put out there, just like the Steel Brigade troops.
these look dope - hopefully they're not too hard to come by in canada
You're killing it with the reviews, great job. The crimson shadow is the corporation behind the scenes. I'm pretty sure they supply the swarm with their technology. They are mentioned in the novel not they don't make an appearance
I think they look good after watching this review I am glad I ordered one
I ordered 2 Crimson Shadows Praetorian might get two more of them. I want two of the Elite Petorians if I can get them.
I’m a huge fan of the Elite one. I’d actually like Bobby to make more variants with red and blue translucent colors.
def one of the most impressive and interesting fig Vala has done yet.
the boss you showed, killswitch, gemini, another blue - fem rep guard,
all on my list.
green
not bad, but not as realistic looking as the black, however,
I d be curious to see a mat olive green, army.
as it could best both versions in my opinion.
and...
wow! he comes 'loaded', the blade is reminiscent of the game 'armoured core' a laser blade.
and the shields concept is just brilliant!
the story
ah, it s all over in Vala, they really need to focus on media and show their stuff
who s who? you have to study the files with the figs I guess...
it worked well for $4 figs in the 80s, but I pay $40 now....
u tube is the perfect platform to do it, just make contests for fans!

great advertisement, and a little fame for the artists
there s way more to do with those than just standing on a shelf amassing dust.
they re ACTION figs, not glass cats for grand ma....

i didn't even know the elite existed till it was reviewed. far too late and the first figure i missed. sigh.
Those left over Elites should go up after the next couple cons, I believe
@@beesbattlegrounds Povided there is enough left.
The Toy Federation Convention will have some.
The elite is available rn
I’m a big fan of the green translucent. Gives better detail
Lmao Vala would hate that comparison at the end, when he copies something it's unique and not actually copying, but when hasbro has the audacity to use a Balaclava head he loses his mind and says that they got the idea from him
You're not wrong
My preference is the black and red. Can't wait for them to get here.
I love the elite version
honestly considering this guy's design and how many rounded shapes he has, he should pose better. i thought that was entirely the point, other than him just looking cool. thanks for sharing
A great review of this great figure set!
Yeah this figure is damn cool. Looks like a dark version of Sam Gideon from Vanquish
Black and red looks cool but I think I still like the green one better. I must say I almost like the weapons better then the figures in all the sets.
The preatorian is a bland figure over all
Not so crimson.
