Action Force Series 3 2023 – Pandora Bloody Variant

Check out all of our Action Force reviews here!

The dust hasn’t settled on Action Force Series 3, not even a little just yet.  In fact, all our coverage hadn’t even gone live before Valaverse.com posted this outstanding Bloody Pandora Variant for sale on the site.  And well…we had to have it, because this really takes Action Force fans right to a now iconic page in the Action Force comics, where our good friend Pandora is …bloody, she’s covered in blood, because she’s bout’ that murder life.  One of the most interesting characters in the Valaverse Action Force universe, gets a second, outstanding, variant figure, and as Sean said…”you got red on ya”.  Given that we did just take a close look at Pandora (proper), today we focus on the difference…the blood

The Difference

  • The blood splatter, head to nearly toe, really thoughtfully applied, not random, it looks darn near off putting
  • Bladed weapons, blades are bloodied
  • All of her alt hands are bloodied
  • My favorite blood splat is one I didn’t find until later, and I was almost sad there wasn’t any, but there is in fact blood on her boots!  I wish there was a little more if I’m being honest, but that some made it there, I’m good
  • Happy to display default Pandora with her scarf, but this one needs to go scarfless.  Why cover that additional art?

The Rest

In Bloody Pandora, we get a really fun way to expand the story of a character on our shelves.  I realize saying that when referring to a figure that is covered in fake blood makes me sound like a nut job…and I’m pretty sure I’m not, but if you collect Action Force figures, military action figures, I think you’ll understand.  Everyone else?  …I’m mostly not a nut job.  Mostly.  This is a variant figure, the deco and box are changed and she’s a little more expensive than the standard Pandora.  Is she worth it?  If you are all in on the line, or character, for sure.  Is she for passing fancy fans?  Maybe not.  But she’s absolutely cool, and one of the most interesting figures we’ve gotten in plastic in a long time from any line…and all it took was a little blood.
