I am interested in both the Vanguard and the Vamp. I am really hoping the Vamp does not blow past the one hondo price range, especially given the features and estimated price of the Vanguard. I think the best thing about the Vamp is Hasbro is showing it is willing to put out things bigger than motorcycles and flight pods without resorting to HasLab. Like, maybe one day I will actually get a Classified Thunder Machine

I had a bad experience with the original haul of Valaverse figures from the kickstarter and sold them off and now i just stick with Classified BUT I think its amazing that Valaverse is doing great and has some great ambassadors (AnalogToys and Ninja to name a few) helping to get the word out. Competition is great for any market and with both companies pushing out great product even if you only collect one you should be happy the other side is doing great as well. Think of the Monday Night Wars in wrestling back in the late 90s as it was some of the best wrestling content put out.

The first vamp that originally came out didn’t have doors or a top. The second one and the cobra versions were the ones that had doors. I’m sure the next versions of this will have them. I will most likely pick this up.

The competition between Classified and Action Force is great for us collectors. Your 💯 correct it’s a great time for toy collecting. I hope nothing but the best for both.

I'm guessing the Vamp and Clutch will be around $80-$100. Serpentor was $75 and The Vamp is a bit bigger but a lot of open space since it only has the roll cage. Can't wait to get it.

So long as the price is right, and hasbro feels more confident releasing decent mid sized vehicles frequently, I'll be happy. Personally, I'm getting both the Vamp and Vanguard. They'll look great together.

The two lines complement each other. If vala didnt present his truck its probably we havent got renders of the Vamp. I dont care to compare, if i like it i buy it. Vala make hasbro open his close eyes Vala need to be support as well they do a fantastic job.

when i saw this my first reaction was lead scout vehicle (vamp) and support transport (vanguard) they would look together with the right figures so im getting both hoping the vamp's price does not exceed the vanguards price range and crossing fingers whos going to put out a tank and please not crowd funded and nice video waiting for the next one

I am honestly considering leaving figure collecting. These prices are freaking wild and they’re getting wilder by the year.

Good, well-rounded review fam, both are good for what they are. Everything in this review i literally just said on soapbox keep doing your thing fam.

The VAMP was my first G.I. Joe toy as a kid - a 1982 version new in box with straight-arm Clutch. So nostalgia for that vehicle for me is very high, but even then, the eventual price for this from Hasbro is something I don't trust at the moment. They GOUGE us for everything now, and they seem to revel in that. I'm backing into the hedge on this VAMP until I see a price.

I'm planning to get both of these! Well said about the offerings between the two vehicles also!

Really want both, Valaverse's truck is higher on my list for its realism.

I'm more interested in the vanguard, I like the bulk and protection. I might get the vamp and do a mad max build.

if you want an “armored vamp” looks at the Vamp MKII, Cobra Stinger, or the Dreadnok Ground Assault. I am sure all these “decos” will come in time :)

If I'm not mistaken, they are going to put this in retail. that said, I hope they don't charge an arm and a leg because I don't see retail stores wanting to sell high priced toys. $89.99-$99.99 tops. Serpentor was high priced because of the fancy box and being an exclusive. Time will tell and I do plan on getting at least 1. og 13 for the win

$100 would be perfect for the vamp. 2 -3 vamps on the Frontline wit the motorbikes with the vanguard bringing up the rear with the heavy artillery squad.

Between the price,which we can only speculate with the vamp,and the fact that my toy collection is beginning to take up more room than my wife would like,I will be going with the Vanguard.I can see a nice manageable display with it and my desert rat and troops.

I would rather get the Vamp because its Joes but both look fine.

Vanguard will be my main troop transport and the Vamp will be my scout/recon vehicle will definitely have 1 for my sniper squad when Valaverse's gear pack releases

I abused my Vamp M1 as a kid LOL. It was a must have, I love it. But Hasbro 2020 has been great at loosing my trust. The Vangaurd is honestly twice the vehicle. Consider this. The Fortnite boat came out at $60. Its about 4" inches lthan my 1:10thscale (bigger than 1:12 scale up) Vamps I printed, and it's got a lot more plastic etc. I think $75 would be a successful price point for the Vamp M1, and consider this will be a retail release so they will be able to make a lot more. at >75 I would get it. I think $100+ would be a greedy Hasbro grab. It does look groovy, I would love to have it. It's held a place in my heart since 82. But we'll see how greedy Hasblow gets LOL.

I need both though the Vamp will probably be my preferred choice due to the convertible look it has. Hopefully we get a convertible Vanguard eventually.

OMG you had to bring up price! I just remember having the Vamp as a kid when it first came out. I was never to big into Joe vehicles since I was more into Transformers which I wanted more, but I had the Vamp. I played with that so much till it broke and was tossed out. I would love to have one again with my current Joe figures. Most likely even if it is over priced, I'll still get it. I had fun with the one I had as a kid.

I'm getting a Vanguard and most likely also getting a VAMP. I think both vehicles have space in my collection. Now, thinking about the pricing for the VAMP and looking at what Hasbro has charged in the past for Star Wars vehicles, I would bet the price will be between 115 and 120, which is not really good but also not terrible. Keep the great work Ninja!

I'll be getting both. I'm excited for the vamp it was my first joe vehicle. They're both different vehicles like you said. I'm 100% with you ninja there's nothing wrong with liking both. I'm always catching flak for defending valaverse. I don't get the whole fight I'm with you about building a cool as looking military display. When you were a kid didn't you mash up all your toys and just play that's how I see it now. Give .e all the military figures so I can have a better play experience.

Nothing against Bobby. He is making amazing products! I am just a G.I. Joe nastolga 80s kid.

The Vanguard is an automatic cop for me. The Vamp looks dope and I’ll probably pick one up. I always have love for GI JOE , but MY collecting and world building is more modern military.

Hopefully, it's less than $100. Clutch and the Vamp was my very 1st joe my moms could afford. Vamp is like recon vec or mule. You take her at best to VDOP, better not take her straight into a fight, lmao. Chill video as always. My Joe's and Vala are always standing tall together.

The Vamp doesn't need doors because in the cartoons no one ever gets shot. Might as well enjoy the fresh air and breeze while you're out cruising for Cobras! 😉

Original 3 & 3/4 Vamp had no doors. Vamp in my opinion should come in at around $79-$89. The original retail price Hasbro put the Fortnite boat out at was $89 and the boat is much bigger. I know Vamp will be in higher demand than the Fortnite boat but if they keep it at around that price you'll have folks buying more than one.

Interested in both but price will ultimately be the main factor for me. Depends on when and what my finances are for both. I can’t say until they drop. It’s entirely possible one could drop at a time I can handle it and the other doesn’t. I’ve not got my heart settled on either because of that.

I have to go with the VAMP because it has one of my most favorite character, "Clutch". I need him in my collection. Nostalgia also hits me as the VAMP is my first vehicle in my childhood. I will buy the VAMP set.

I guess you didn’t hear but I only collect Funko Pops now. You with me? Or against me??? You need to choose a side 😡

"Action figure politics is the most vicious and bitter form of politics, because the stakes are so low. Fuck McFarlane though" -Henry Kissinger I want both. Really like the idea of a Vanguard and two Vamps working as a unit together.

Do not HOPE for a low price from Hasbro. DEMAND a low price from Hasbro. Hasbro does not deserve any leeway considering the shenanigans they pulled on us. Hasbro increased prices while reducing quality. Valaverse seems to be lowering prices while increasing quality.

So much to unpack here. While I'm not a fanboy for either manufacturer, in this case, Hasbro vs Valaverse, I have a bunch of figures from both manufacturers and love them both. I think my choice (if I even get it) would be the Vamp. For me, I would have to decide on one over the other for financial reasons. Aside from the financial portion, I have the Hiss tank coming, and another big concern I have is how the Vanguard would scale with the Hiss and I suspect it's going to be huge. Lastly, depending on the price of the Vamp, I would choose it over the Vanguard for nostalgic reasons. I had the Vamp as a kid and nostalgia is like 90% of why I collect this stuff.

If I’m getting one it’ll probably be classified series, for me it’s not about putting figures inside the car but having an open space to view the figures, that said if the price is too high for what it is I’ll probably go valaverse

I have a feeling Hasbro will surprise us with the price of the VAMP. I'm going to guess 89.99. The Trouble bubble at $54.99 and Serpentor at $79.99 would be decent comps. Considering Serpentor was some con exclusive, I'd say this vehicle is near that price.

Yo my Man it's like you reached into my brain and took out everything I was wanting to say about all this and you said it so I could not agree more with everything you just said That's exactly I mean exactly what I've been thinking thank you so much for the video and thanks for always saying what I'm thinking out loud I love your channel keep it up man 🙏🙌🙌

I got the jada toys street fighter ryu......i cant express how incredible happy i am....im crying holding this figure😢..what a time to be alive and to love this Hobby and toy community, the good the bad and the ugly as a whole👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯

Ninja you're out there putting the assassination on them haters!! Keep it up 💯 💯 💯 Vehicles are something the community has been asking for. The Vamp looks cool but I'm betting the Vanguard will be a better overall offer. I'm likely going to get both unless the price ends up being crazy on the Vamp.

Valaverse and Classified are the Brady Bunch of my collection, the perfect blended family

Good review. The Vamp will be the one i choose. I don't have a lot of space for a Vanguard. The Vamp has huge nostalgic vibes for me. I still have a 1/18 scale Vamp on my shelf. I can't see this jeep being over $100. For sure people will be buying multiples.

The Vamp has always basically been a Jeep, and Vamp Mark I never had doors. It's doing precisely what it's supposed to do.

Again you bring valuable information and points i am going to get both of them great video

I'm estimating a price of around $90-95, and even that would be overcharging a bit. It's not as large or as complex as the Black Series Snowspeeder, which was $115. It's quite simplistic. Just a basic chassis, two seats and some accessories. It doesn't have much more mass than two Ram Cycles. If they don't get greedy with the price, they could sell fifty thousand of these.

I can’t wait for these. The vanguard with like 2 - 3 vamps along side it. Add that to my modded halo warthog and I’m good to go. Can not wait!!! If the Vamp is $75 or less I’m getting two minimum. More if it’s cheaper. The vanguard is a must for sure. Also. F that noise. Like what you like and mix and match as to see fit. Enjoy your hobby.

right on bro !guys lets just enjoy this ride! great time to be an action figure collector! woooo!

I’m excited for both….. I just need them both to be in black… also anyone that says you can’t like both needs to get the f out of your life. I hate that so much.

I get ragged by a chat group I am in cause I like Valaverse and use them with my Joes. I just laugh and keep doing me cause I buy what I like, regardless. Thanks for another great video.

The Vanguard is like a damn Escalade and the Vamp is a Jeep Wrangler. Hopefully, the Vamp is priced accordingly. Either way, I will get both. Gen. Hawk's convoy will need both!! Keep it up Ninja.

The Vanguard looks way better but the vamp is a good addition as well, as long as it's not to expensive.

The VAMP needs to be less than $80. The VAMP is less than half the size of the Valaverse truck.

The Vamp is the right move for Hasbro's first foray into mainline vehicles (Aside from motorbikes). It has served on both sides in the GI Joe conflict, its chassis has had multiple configurations and colour schemes for reissue and it's small enough that it won't be a space hog. That being said I hope that the price does not go above $120 and in an ideal world it will be $90 for a bare bones offering. If Hasbro goes the extra mile and adds in some bells and whistles like rubber tires, an accessible engine area with detailed engine, turning front wheels with working suspension and the like, then we can start looking at $120. Regardless, we can only look and speculate at the moment. Here's hoping they make a wise choice for themselves and all collectors alike. Thank you very much for your video Articulated Ninja 👍

i know its dreaming but if they could somehow compete with todd and sell it for 80-100$ that would break the toy world.

They will have the doors and roof on the vamp markII and the stinger, you know they will use it for everything they can. With this release they are going pure classic look down to the shovel in the front, that will come off now. I'm getting both

You know I am all in on the vanguards, hoping for multiple colors. But I will definitely get the vamp. it will lead to all the variants, the stinger and so on. I really wish they had done the 4 seater Vamp 2 with the doors.

Plastic is plastic - so I’ll most likely purchase the Vamp - but I’m happy for those who purchase the Vanguard - I’m thinking 80$ to 100$ for the Vamp, plus Clutch

Thank you for addressing the stupid way. People are thinking about these vehicles and hating on Valaverse. I like both of the vehicles I think they are two completely different products though.

Just let me live in this head space for a moment. HASBRO delivers a VAMP for $75 similar in content to the MacFarlane Batmobile. No bells, no whistles. Just a basic VAMP like in the 80's, but with doors. It will absolutely sell! If they cross $100, say in the $125 range, and it's gonna be a peg warming disaster.

Facts ninja! Idk why “they” get butt hurt 😅 but u doing great work filling us in!

Think $175 for any vehicle is nuts

No doubt the Hasbro product will cost more and be smaller, however a lot of people will be buying the Vamp because we had it when we were kids.

I hope $80 to $100 I would get two of them. I can't wait to see vala paint his because I think they will coexist well yeah😃✨

The one thing that the VAMP has over the Vanguard is that it is the VAMP. Oh, and it comes with Clutch. If I had to choose one, I'd take the VAMP and Clutch because if I was collecting Classified it would be to rebuild my 80s Joe collection. The VAMP scratches that itch, the Vanguard doesn't. I really don't understand why you emphasize so much the vehicle capacity of the Vanguard; holding more figures isn't inherently better. As you said, these are two very different vehicles with two different jobs. The VAMP is what it has always been. If I want a FANG copter, I don't care if a competing helicopter holds 7 figures, but if I am looking for a troop carrier that would be a factor. Both vehicles look great. If you have the space and money, there's no reason you can't or shouldn't buy both.

dude, you are an artist, I love your dioramas and that glorious lighting you use...beautiful, they look like still shots taken from a movie. love your content, and yes that is true, you can love many different things in life, those crybabies just need to get one and stop worrying about others' opinions so much. awesome vid as always.

I want to see how big the vamp is and if I can easily mod it to be rc since it really has a design that looks like it lends itself to being an rc car.

My biggest pet peeve with VAMP is the fact there is no room for a figure to sit and operate the machinegun. One does not simply puts a machine gun in a vehicle without putting a place for him to sit down. I hope I can get a Vanguard in the future.

Honestly, if the Vamp comes at a reasonable price ($75-$125) it's a cop from me. But I'm also getting the Vanguard, there's no way imma pass on that. But knowing Haslow's track record, the Vamp is probably gonna be overpriced, j/s

Absolutely no contest, the vamp wins hands down. That said I think the Vanguard is cool and I have no problem with others who are not me wanting one

thanks bud! i am getting both for sure! i am an equal shill

Compared to the bikes they have put out, I'll be surprised if the vamp isn't closer to 60 or 80. It's great two have two options, and two different types of vehicle. But if that vamp is 120, that's just not worth it when the vanguard is an option if you are only getting one or building a group vehicles.

I'll be copping both vehicles

On a side note. I'm stacking up on these Polaris remote control jeeps that Articulated Ninja made a video about. I found seven of them for $3 each at a thrift store. I wish I can find a Canon instead of using these small guns from final faction. But they're going to look real good next to my hiss tanks and crimson army.

Not complaining about either vehicle but I really want a 1/12 scale Humvee. Look at the 1/18 scale Elite Force Up Armored Humvee and you will see what I mean.

I think you're right about the Vamp being around $120 USD. Serpentor with his Chariot was £80 GBP (~$90 USD?) so while it'd be great for it to be less than £100 I can't see that happening.

It’s starting to get kinda culty with the Vala only club. Everybody should be buying ANYTHING they find appealing. Buy one, buy both, buy what you like. But this cult like behavior from very obvious people is getting old, and it’s childish. Stop the division, we gotta stick together in this community of grown mofos that buy toys. Great video as always Ninja. Keep life plastic ❤

There's room for both. I think the competition is actually healthy for both sides. The vamp is total nostalgia for collectors while the Valajeep is something new and exciting for collectors. Both are loaded with accessories and a figure. Both can be used for either Joe or Vala figure lines. And regardless of prices there is people out there who will pay for one or both. I wish both companies luck with these vehicles. (I don't collect vehicles too often) I think Hasbro may be noticing Vala...the quality on the Joe figures really seem to be stepping up... But as I said there's room for both for a healthy competition in the action figure market. If someone told me to pick one whether marvel or DC...Vala or Joe...I'd just tell em to stick it. I'll spend my $$$ on what I want...it's my collection. I like to mix it up. 😜 Great video ninja! Keep up the good words and even making people think sometimes too.

Dude I'm so glad you said "stupid ninja" because I thought you were gonna go somewhere else with that one lol.

I think the vamp set will come in around the $80-$90 mark, and then each repaint release will increase in price (whether they blame inflation or exclusivity or something else). My reasoning is because that fortnite boat was MSRP'd around the $70-$75 mark and that's when hasbro had to pay a cut. This vamp is no licensing fee to someone else, and includes a figure.

The Vamp is supposed to be coming out in retail so I can’t think it’ll be over $100

Ok question for everyone Hasbro ghost haslab has funded and it was 500 is there any doubt now that we could get even bigger haslab for GI Joe Classified. Like sky striker night raven apc the whale or moccasins. I do believe as long as the classified series stays this strong we will get these and more

I am getting both of these bad boys for the figures, I might sell the vehicles because at the end of the day I just want figures, we will see. But if I can load a lot of figures into the VAMP/Vanguard, then maybe I will keep them, but for now most likely not.

I am hoping to pick up up maybe a third of the stuff I want of all the lines I enjoy.

I'm guessing the VAMP is gonna go $60 -$70. Much versions of the VAMP will be coming. The Stinger jeep was way hinted at SDCC.

This is also good, because it will encourage a lower price for both vehicles.

One is a jeep the other is an assault SUV. I'm looking forward to the Mad max/Zombie customs of these.

As a comic guy anyone over 30 I actually don’t personally know anyone who picks sides . That’s just dumb that’s a new thing I’m seeing

$125 …..I don’t care either way. I’ll buy both

I completely agree with you!! You have to be a very simple-minded person to believe you can't appreciate both vehicles. Fan-boys just refuse to understand that there is Classified and then there is Hasbro. Yes, Hasbro makes classified. But that doesn't mean you have to bow down. We all love Classified!! And at the same time, we have all question the decision making done at Hasbro. Having an opinion does not equate to hate. I guess a family can't purchase a Honda Odyssey to tote their family around since they already have a Tacoma. They gotta stick with a Toyota Sienna. That $hit is so childish and ignorant. The $hit I find laughable is immature people claiming Vala copied this, and Vala copied that. New flash Hasbro does not own the patent on army men with guns, nor military vehicles. Using that asinine argument, every automotive company copied Benz. Being that it was the first gas powered automobile, every other company should have not tried to duplicate and / or approve on that invention, right??

In for the Vamp strictly for nostalgic reasons. Was one of the first Joe toys I had as a kid. The Vanguard is a maybe. Space is always a problem when it comes to bigger vehicles and playsets. Considering that Serpentor was $80, I'm placing my bet on $125 for the Vamp. Love that last shot at the end of the video.

A Vamp with doors exists, its called the Cobra Stinger.

I don't listen to Small-Stax anymore. His negativity has become the entire charter of his channel. I like what I like and I am not required to hate anything I don't. Things I don't buy haven't done anything to hurt me and no one who buys what I don't hasn't hurt me either. That said, I buy both Vala and Hasbro. Heck, I JUST got Covert Ops Condor in today...and if Chuckles goes up for pre-order and he's not sold out...I will get him too. :D My two cents, is the Vamp will be $89-$99. Serpentor with the chariot was $79. A friend of mine has stated that price has a tendency to be dictated by the amount of plastic. That said, I am definitely getting this. It was my first vehicle back in the early 80s.

How many people would want a headquarters or a terror dome I know I do but the only way we would get would be in prices take the terror dome what if they sold only a quarter of it and if you bought 4of them you get the hold thing the same with Joes headquarters.but if you get only one piece of the terror dome it would fit in a corner perfectly

Right now I lean a little more towards the Vamp. But that's just because I favor the more open cockpit design. I like to be able to pose and display my figures in the vehicle on the shelf. The Vanguard is gorgeous. And I will probably still get it. While it looks much more real world, and I like that. It is more the display piece itself, rather than being the display stage for the figures.

Will get them both. Used to drive my First Sgt around when I was in the service. When I get my Valaverse figure I’m going to make a personalized Hasbro figure and drive around General Hawk

$25-figure+$75-vehicle-$100

I missed the VAMP nice to see its coming.

Vanguard will become my VAV "Viper Assault Vehicle"

Haters can pick all the sides they want, I'm buying what I can afford and have space for. . . Just glad it isn't a crowdfund item.
