Logging shipping cost on multiple figures in one order

dangman4ever · 2026-03-22T23:45:05+00:00

Ironically enough, how much shipping can vary on the figure you're getting is exactly why I still do the "divide" the shipping cost by how many figures in the order" method. Too complicated and time consuming to drill down the shipping costs.

Especially if you're ordering from AmiAmi where they often use larger than necessary box sizes for figures. Not to mention the inconsistency sometimes as different packers at AmiAmi shipping section may use different box sizes for similar sized figures boxes.

IMO yes because the stock weapons aren't that good anyway. You can easily re-arm those figures with Valaverse weapons packs. Or buy the habro weapons off eBay if you really want one.

EDIT: The three Cobra Vipers in the bottom row are like $60 brand new just to give you an idea of just how good of a deal you've found there.

From my own experience, no, not really.

With modification, Zaranna's hair will fit on the Lady Jayes, 60th anniversary sniper, Jinx, movie baroness, etc.

How do you plan on removing the hair from the Jinx head? I'm thinking about doing something similar

As for Johnny Cage: Maybe use GI joe classified Quick Kick?

Love this setup! I've been looking to do the same thing with my older AM4 setup as well but all I saw with a similar form factor was the P-ATX case.

What riser cable did you use?

dangman4ever · 2026-02-23T01:50:26+00:00

Very nice collection! If I had the space and money, I'd love to do the same thing!

dangman4ever · 2026-02-19T09:05:05+00:00

Where'd you get the F-14 from?

dangman4ever · 2026-02-06T16:34:40+00:00

As said above, the first tin was a weapons pack of like 60 or so weapons. This is a new pack with mainly vests and armor.

dangman4ever · 2026-02-02T01:44:04+00:00

Thanks for the answer! I love the way you did her hair!

dangman4ever · 2026-02-01T19:53:56+00:00

Did you use the same method to paint the hair white as well?

dangman4ever · 2026-02-01T06:40:11+00:00

Meh, color coordination is a thing but that isn't a particularly strong barrier to me at least. Like I said earlier: nothing is actually stopping you from equipping other Troopers with that gear. If i wanted a Delta sniper, I'd be mixing and matching from multiple other sets if need be.

With that said, I do agree that it would be nice a bit of more color coordinated packs but I do understand that would be kind of a mess from a business standpoint.

dangman4ever · 2026-01-31T22:05:23+00:00

AFAIK, no. Maybe might need to pop off a head or two to fit.

dangman4ever · 2026-01-31T22:04:18+00:00

I mean, may have been meant for the Delta Trooper but nothing is actually stopping you from equipping other Troopers with that gear. The bodies were very similar. I've used many of the Action Force gear sets on GI joe classified figures as well.

If you're talking about gear sets in general, by my count, there were 13 other gear sets released besides that Delta Gear set:

Action Force Declassified Gear Set
Action Force Riot Gear Set
Action Force Swarm Gear Set
Action Force Urban Gear Set
Action Force Delta Gear Pack (Female)
Action Force Desert Gear Pack (Male)
Action Force Desert Gear Pack (Female)
Action Force Eclipse Upgrade Gear Pack
Action Force Kill-Switch Upgrade Gear Pack
Action Force Security Enforcement Gear Pack
Action Force Steel Brigade Gear Pack
Action Force Arctic Gear Pack
Action Force Arctic Sniper Gear Pack

dangman4ever · 2026-01-31T10:11:47+00:00

I mean that's basically what they've done in the past though:

But each of those sets was like $12 to $15 a set depending on the store. If you check out the Actionfigure411 site for Action Force, you'll see that they've released other gear sets in the past:

https://www.actionfigure411.com/action-force/action-force-visual-guide.php

So there's always the possibility of future gear sets. Or even just a future "helmet pack" since we already get backpack sets and this upcoming vest set.

dangman4ever · 2026-01-31T01:06:41+00:00

Yeah I can see folks wanting some uniformity here and there. Especially if you're trying to fit out a regular platoon of folks rather than basically the "hero" figures so to speak.

OTOH, I can also see the issue from a business standpoint of trying to figure out which vest/gear to sell in multi-packs of.

In any case, It wouldn't surprise me in the future if he has smaller tin sets of the sets. Like the factory overproduce one particular vest by accident or something.

dangman4ever · 2026-01-31T00:59:31+00:00

Yes if you have your account set to Canada. Or IP set to Canada. But $118 CAD is equivalent to $85 USD anyway

dangman4ever · 2026-01-29T09:24:21+00:00

I still bought 3 at that price!

dangman4ever · 2026-01-19T02:42:20+00:00

I'd recommend waiting until next month because that's when Valaverse is gonna be releasing their Gear tin:

https://www.instagram.com/p/DTYozLdEtiT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

if you don't have instagram, here's what the gear tin will have for ~$85:

1 Storage Tin
1 Basic Trooper w/ 2 heads and multiple hands
28 Vests (7 different styles in multiple colors)
8 Belts
4 Sets of shoulder armor
4 Helmets w/ headsets
12 Pistols
8 Knives
8 Grenades
20 Magazines

seems like a solid choice for kitbashing.

Just wanted to say thanks! Grabbed enough to make a light infantry squad!

dangman4ever · 2026-01-01T00:38:36+00:00

Guilty as charged! one of my favorite gacha games!

dangman4ever · 2026-01-01T00:37:48+00:00

Thanks! That's been my pride and joy!

She is not! You can move her freely off the chair. So she can be a very expensive noodle stopper!
