New Chap Mei toys are out! LOTS of pics

**TURNA** · 09-11-2004

Well I just got in from 2 local Big Lots and NOOOOOOOOO A-10's but they did have 2 P-40 Warhawks and a bunch of APC's. Tons and Tons of the new Polar Force.
Some nice figures with that line.

I then hit a Rite Aid on the way home and they have a RID AID Exclusive orange Chap Mei helicopter with a guy that has an awsome Low Light version 1 style headsclupt.
But still no A-10's

I hit 6 Big Lots this weekend & saw every piece in the new line except the A-10 & that transport chopper. I asked at 3 of them & they said that everything they got is on the floor as far as their toys.

I would gladly pay for an A-10 if anyone finds them. I just want one for my collection.

I'm still confused.

I understand that overall there's no real obvious way (without looking for a stamp on the vehicles themselves) to tell if something is Chap Mei or not.

However, if you are buying this stuff you have to atleast see some common names on the figures.

For instance from what I've dug through the net and found thus far... here's some brandings and who makes em.

"Soldier Force" - Chap Mei
"The Ultimate Soldier Xtreme Detail" - 21st Century
"Corps!", "Action Rescue", "Construction Crew" - Lenard
"Elite Force" - bbi

So what I really wish to know is what all or atleast more of the names that Chap Mei sells under. "Soldier Force" I found on a Chinese website that showed some box art for the figures. Also are there any good websites that cover chap mei stuff? I googled and found very little.

That is the problem with Chap Mei - you can find very little info about them on the web.

Their two major military lines are Soldier Force and Freedom Force.

They then have

a police/fire/rescue line
a bad guys criminal line
a construction line
a He-Man type line
a cyber ninja line
a wildlife rescue type of line
a dinosaur hunter line
an artic line
an outerspace line

Wow, did I miss any?

Don't all the Chap Mei items have a little "CM" in a circle somewhere on the packaging?

Hey guys,

My local toystore has five of six of those a10's an dI live in Ireland where ususlaly we can't get anything.I won't be buying them cos I only collect joes. Isn't life funny? I don't want one and they are everywhere, and I want joes and they are nowhere to be found.

By the way, the A10 is cool. Better than the rattler IMO.
