Ive been away for a decade do to life but now I'm trying to get back into the hobby. Ghouldrool was a great friend and trading buddy but noticed he hasnt been on in years. I loved his passion for chap mei, it was unmatched. I also see this site has been overrun with spam, very annoying. I say whosever left here let's get this up and going again, lots of chap mei still out there.

Hey there! I'm still round! Some fun Chap Mei things are floating around in Canada. I miss "Legends of Heroes" and such. Perseus and the Argo are still awesome! I guess they just didn't make enough off them.

Yippy, a chap mei friend, Lol. I live in Iowa right below ya. I've been finding some really rare pieces lately, just getting lucky I guess. I don't have Facebook or anything like that, is that where everyone went? You still think Ghouldrool would keep up on his board. He was a good dude and he really loved chap mei.

Hey Rocklord. Sadly, I think a lot of people moved on or their wallets got tighter. The only new Chap-Mei like march I've seen in 2021 are some Aliens at the Dollar Tree. Will still have Toys R Us in Canada and there's been some reissues of older Animal Planet stuff but the more imaginative lines seem to have stopped. I always wanted a giant Pteranodon from the stone age line but never found it. Not even online! Who knows? They may surprise us!

Nope it was an actual dinosaur/creature. Badass. Ever more rare than the mammoth when it first came out!

Do you have a pic? I have friends in different countries that help me out quite a bit. Maybe I can help you. You can email me if it's easier at rocklord@live.com

Rocklord! It's good to see you. Like yourself I actually only just got back into the collecting game. I dusted off my old Clambo account to see if some other people are still there. I miss the old gang!
I'll see if I can get the board to accept me as Admin and clean this mess up!

Admin Ghouldrool here, I cleaned up most of the spam, about time too. I had no idea things got so bad so quickly if you're out of the game for a few years. Good to be back!

Awesome buddy, I missed a lot of you toy nuts. Do you still have your chap mei collection?? I sold off everything, bought a new house, car, ECT. Got married and all. I realized all that stuff still wasn't as fun as toys so here I am, lol. I collect exclusively chap mei now. Been collecting for about 4-5 months now. I have a few friends in Norway and one in Serbia that help out a lot.

I definitely do still have everything. And I know what it's like to get busy with life stuff. I parked collecting for a couple years and got into playing MMOs. There's only so little spare time in a day you can devote to a hobby and MMO games take up a LOT of that. Instead of scouring Ebay it was scouring online auction houses. Same buzz, I think! It's also totally awesome you collect Chap Mei now. Not a lot of people do! I want to see your pictures. Also, Photobucket went paywall and took all pictures hostage. I'm going to need a new picture host. Can anybody reccommend a good and easy picture host?

Wow, can't believe you still have everything! I'll have to upload some pics soon. I don't use any photo site myself I just upload from my phone, seems to work.

Hi, I'm new to the forum so hello. I collect toy figures and have a few Chap Mei in my collection. I have come across a Wild Quest Wild Boar Max figure I believe. The mold looks identical. He doesn't have the bandeira across his chest. What is interesting is his paint scheme. His hat is painted red/orange and not the standard grey. Both legs and arms have not been painted at all. All the detail is there, just not painted. Therefore his legs are green including his boots, medical pack, lasso belt and buckle. His arms are flesh colour including his wrist bracelets and water hip flask. His chest is a stronger flesh colour than his face or arms and the tooth chain is simply painted the same flesh colour. All the images I have found online portray him in his true colours. I can't find any which look like mine. Do I have a rare variant or something? Could you provide me with some help and advice on him? Much appreciated and I can upload a picture too if this helps. Many thanks!

I'm afraid there are a ton of Chap Mei bootlegs out there and your variant may well be one of them. That said, I myself have been out of the loop for quite a while and couldn't tell you if you have a relatively new repaint or something else entirely. So yeah, I always reccoment posting a picture!
