Chap Mei Military Figures

I pulled the trigger on this small lot of Chap Mei military figures the other day.5 bucks and some change was all I paid for these guys,a steal If you ask me.I'm extremely late to the Chap Mei party.I see them alot on blogs,Youtube  and Instagram and always thought they looked cool.It wasn't until Brother Midnight sent me a Chap Mei troll that I would decide to give these figures a try.What I like the most about these figures Is their quality.The plastic Is very rough and tumble, reminiscent of the old Adventure People figures. They remind me alot of the old Kenner stuff ,too.You could use these with alot of other toy lines-Kenner Aliens-Jurassic Park,Swamp Thing and even the new King Kong stuff thats been coming out lately. The sculpts are enough to keep you busy .Lots of small intricacies here and there with damn near perfect paint apps.Their weapons are big,very big.A trait that  takes away from realism but distinguishes the line.I really like these guys!So much so that  I had to give them all their own individual names!

    Chap Mei makes some really cool stuff from bases and playsets to deep sea animals .They have the best range of military vehicles around imo.

      I've always liked the way they looked but wasn't sure about their quality.They're pretty darn solid!Chunky, Is what I like to call figures like this.

    Some of Chap Mei's older lines are amazing. I hate that I missed out on their Pirates and Dino Hunters series. I just love them for what they are, cheap, durable toys that look like fun.

      They are a fun bunch of figures.The ebay seller stated in the listing that these belonged to her son,who has moved on to bigger and more expensive figures.I guess that makes these gateway figs?

    Great job on the names. You should work for the creators of GI Joe.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
