Valaverse got one more surprise exclusive item for Rhode Island Comic Con!!! Legend of the White Dragon is coming to Rhode Island. They planned this extra special item for the show and you won't be disappointed. This exclusive energized White Dragon will be available at the Valaverse booth for $30. They've also worked with the family of Jason David Frank to offer a reproduction of his signature in gold chrome on the front of every box. This item has a very limited run so be sure to get yours at the show. For those that can't make it, this item may be available after the show but not sure through which retail outlet.
I hope this means the movie is coming out soon! Some are speculating a December release but idk about that with all the stuff coming out. I did order the 2-Pack from this movie and I used to love Bat in Suns Super Power Beat Down web series so I am more than happy to support an independent and original IP! That said, I understand its a lower budget and that they want to go theatrical, (which could be a major contributor to the strange radio silence on the release date.) but they really need to get this film out and inadvertently, they could sell more toys and merch from the movie. I would like to see the other Dragons and characters from this film but I wanna see the film first!

There's a lot, and going into it in any kind of real detail would derail this thread, which should be avoided. If people want to know about the drama with Bobby Vala and his behavior, there are plenty of other places to read about it.
What happened? I usually don't pay attention to the drama, only the reviews and product reveals. Did he say/do something?

I was actually looking forward to buying the Locust and Praetorian, after having not picked up anything from the last few waves, and passing on the Vanguard due to the size.
But Bobbys behavior has finally made me drop collecting the line. Ive generally ignored his behavior in the past. I don't pay any attention at all to beefs in the industry, and I only watch YouTube reviews to see if I would like something. But Vala is really determined to be vocally nasty about people he doesnt like, and he seems to not like a lot of people, including his customers.
Ive admired and enjoyed the product he built, and I liked supporting a small company. But honestly theres nothing hes putting out that I cant get from other lines, including the one that he hates/copies from more than anything else.

What did he say/do? I didn't see anything in that presentation. This is something outside of that?
