These are reported as beginning to hit now (I have not seen them locally yet).

Post by: The Spectre on June 06, 2021, 02:23:39 PM: "Deluxe" Chap Mei military figures are showing up at Dollar Tree.

These are "deluxe" as you usually get a figure, weapon and a backpack for $1, but here you get a figure, weapon and a large accessory (boat, motorcycle or barricade) for $1.

If anyone needs cheap customizing fodder, you cannot beat a buck.

Title: Re: Various Chap Mei Lines
Post by: The Spectre on August 08, 2021, 02:28:52 PM: Showing up at Sam's Club for $35 each.
Title: Re: Various Chap Mei Lines
Post by: The Spectre on September 03, 2021, 04:35:15 PM: Member's Mark "Giant Walking Robot" playset robot review:

This set is a repackaging of previously released Chap Mei "Soldier Force" items in a large gift set for Sam's Club.

The only "new" piece in the set is the "robot" (actually a pilot driven mech) so that is what this review will be focusing on. This is "new" in the sense that it has only had one previous North American release and that was through Toys R Us Canada and never appeared in the United States as TRU had closed down by the time it was released.

You can see from the pictures that the robot is a big beefy hunk of plastic. It is solidly constructed aside from the clear canopy cover which feels a bit brittle so I am going to be gentle when opening and closing it. I took a picture of the robot with the recently released "Halo" Mantis from Jaswares' line so you can see how large it is. There is also a picture with a 4" "Fortnite" figure (also from Jazwares) for scale.

The robot is articulated at the shoulders (swivel 360° rotational joint with a hinge below for slightly more than 45°of lateral arm movement), elbows (hinge with close to 90° of movement) and motorized joints at the hips (very little motion forward/back, just enough to "walk" forward slowly). There are additional shallow hinges at the ankles to accommodate the walking action. The walking action also triggers a blue LED inside the cockpit.

The overall design is very reminiscent of the real world mechs being built by robotics enthusiasts across the world, albeit much larger in scale than the real ones so far. It is heavily armored and looks like it could take a pounding in combat. It is rather lightly armed with only a pair of forward facing cannons above the canopy. The size of the barrels (which are hollow underneath, a pet peeve of mine, and will be removed) are kind of large to be set so high and I kind of envision the mech toppling backwards from the recoil the first time it fires them.

The control pod is quite large, you could probably have 2 seats side by side instead of the one centrally located one. The seat is a surprise as all too often Chap Mei has completely empty cockpits as budget savers, but the seat is nicely designed but lacks any kind of control surfaces to put the operator's hands on (I plan on rectifying this in the future). I also plan on filling the remainder of the empty space surrounding the chair with some cool tech detailing. There is a secondary area on the upper back behind the cannons for another figure to stand, but would be completely exposed to enemy fire. I will cover the open space with additional armor in the future.

I eventually plan on modifying this into a utility mech since it is so bulky and barely armed to begin with. I will probably go with a construction vehicle color scheme (maybe even green and purple for a Constructicon homage) with warning stripes on certain surfaces.

For the $35 this set goes for, you certainly get a lot of plastic for your money. The remaining accessories are hit or miss. The tower and mini-fortification are one sided buy really nice and can be combined to make a bigger base. The figures are typical Chap Mei offerings (one of which has been reissued a ton of times in the last 20+ years) and the smaller vehicles are really only useful to kids and not collectors/customizers. The 2 accessory trees are a mix of new and (seriously) old. The old tree is another 20+ year veteran of the line but the accessories are solid offerings but more closely scaled to 6" figures than the included 3.75" ones. The new tree is hollow on one side as a cost saving measure but renders almost all of the accessories useless to adult collectors/customizers.

There are 2 additional sets available in this assortment: a giant cargo helicopter and another set with a fighter jet and armored APC. All of the items in the other 2 sets are reissues from many years ago.

These sets are exclusive to Sam's Club in the United States.

Post by: Darth More on September 04, 2021, 02:34:32 AM: Looks like a cool set with an incredible value nowadays! If I was a kid I'd have lots of fun with this multipack. $35 is a great value for the amount of accessories - something we cannot expect from a licensed toy like Star Wars since Di$ney. I can see many useful parts for customizing in there, which makes it worth to always watch out for other lines when it comes to customizing.

Title: Re: Various Chap Mei Lines
Post by: Starchaser on September 04, 2021, 10:30:01 PM: I had that same thought about using the mech as a utility vehicle (loader, mining, salvage, etc.) when I saw the image. Nice review, thanks for taking the time to share your insights/perspectives.

Yeah, it looks impressive but would be a lumbering, clumsy target on the battlefield. Civilian uses would be better.

Post by: The Spectre on November 23, 2022, 03:30:42 PM: Chap Mei "Dino Valley" Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton set review:

This set comes in a hinged, locking T-Rex skull carry case, which in and of itself is quite nice. It is quite large and has diorama potential.

The skeleton is cast in a brownish grey color somewhat lighter than real life fossils and comes in 19 easily assembled pieces. The assembly is easy and the pieces go together without much force being required. It can also be disassembled just as easily. The assembled skeleton is quite large as you can see in the image with the 4" "Fortnite" action figure. The skeleton comes with a chocolate brown base with indentations for the feet to attach. The skeleton stands firm and balanced. There is also a small figurine of a man scaled to the skeleton and cast in the same color as the base, but I forgot to add it to the images. I plan on using the 2 sets I bought as bone clusters for future dioramas.

This is a pretty nice set at the $10 sticker price, but a fantastic set at the buy-one-get-one-free sale that Family Dollar is currently having. I am debating getting another pair of them before the sale ends on Saturday.

Title: Re: Various Chap Mei Lines
Post by: The Spectre on September 05, 2023, 01:53:37 PM: Initially, I was really looking forward to the 3.75" "A.C.I.D. vs B.E.T.A." robot figures, but the more images I see of them, the less enthusiastic I am for them. They are really boxy and crude looking, like they are made from an outdated idea of what a future robotic soldier would look like. These would have been awesome figures if they were released in the 80s, but now they look kind of old fashioned. I may still grab one or a small number of them to be outdated, ancient droids in a Jawa junkyard or similar diorama.
Title: Re: Various Chap Mei Lines
Post by: Tamer on September 06, 2023, 02:49:01 AM: I agree, kind of cartoony and klunky looking.

I believe these may be the same vehicles from the huge Walmart "Kid Connection" set from a few years back, but I am not 100% sure.

They are $12.99 each and come with a vehicle, figure and 2 accessory trees full of accessories.

EDIT: apparently these same sets are hitting Rite Aid stores for only $6.99 each.

It has seriously been over 20 years since they have released the F.A.N.G. knock-off with the full length tail. All of the modern iterations have a stubby tail barely an inch long.

Also, the artillery piece is rarely available outside of larger sets.

The set is available in 2 colorways, each with a different action figure.

This set contains one of my favorite diorama pieces that they have ever made as well as the new tiny sci-fi jeep that debuted in the "Soldier Force" line last year, now in red and black.

Not a bad set at all for the $20 price, but I am going to wait for a sale as there is nothing I absolutely need in it right now.
Title: Re: Various Chap Mei Lines
Post by: The Spectre on September 11, 2024, 11:11:09 AM: New (ish), affordable, Chap Mei showing up at Big Lots (helicopter set) and Dollar Tree (everything else).

Post by: The Spectre on October 15, 2024, 10:48:07 AM: More Chap Mei Toys in the wild!

The boxed set is $15 at Family Dollar and the green Rex is $5 at Dollar Tree, these were both spotted in Clifton, NJ.

It also looks like Chap Mei has a distribution deal with Big Lots now. I was out running errands and hit the one in Clifton, but they are just now setting up the toy section for Christmas so nothing was out yet.
