Hi! Been collecting chap mei toys to supplement the need for variety and differing themes/genres for the 3 3/4 line of figures for half a decade now. Great stuff!

Hello everyone
I've been collecting chap mei for well over 10 years now, back when soilder force one came out, I've always loved the great detail put into there toys but alas, Chap Mei in the states is hit or miss, I'm really into the fantasy lines (which seem to get the least distribution in the states) and love all the great pics you guys post, makes me sooo jealous, I'm always on the lookout for any info as to where I can locate some for sale so any insight into how to track these elusive toys down is greatly appreciated, right now I'm stuck in the middle of small town USA and it's super hard to find anything but bootlegs and what toys r us carries.
Thanks for the great site, hope to hear from you guys.

Thanks for the great site, hope to hear from you guys. Welcome! I agree it's very hard to locate Chap Mei figures nowadays, and it really doesn't matter if you're in Europe or the US, either! The best way to find Chap Mei toys is through trade contacts or Ebay. I'm still hoping a trade contact from Russia will show up and help us all with Medieval Kingdom! It's been a pain to find!

I checked on amazon france and found the two headed dragon set and a knight/horse set for 36 euros/10 euros if anyone is intersted, that was yesterday and they had about five of the two headed dragons sets left, but only one of the knight.

Have had Chap Mei stuff through the years. Trying to track down a few pieces and found this forum. Used to be a part of another Chap Mei forum a few years back. Dunno what happened to that one.

I'm new to the board, but not to Chap Mei, though I didn't know I had any Chap Mei figs until I started doing some research. I've recently rediscovered my Beast Raider and Ninja toys, bought years ago at Big Lots. I only have a couple figures, but lately I've been digging into the TRU rebrands, and enjoy seeing the original Chap Mei versions on line. My most recent purchases have been the TRU Animal Planet big Dino sets, and the True Legends Hydra, which is an amazing monster, going well with either 3 3/4 figs or MOTUC.
I also have a flickr account. You can find me under this username across multiple toy boards, and I hope I can contribute in at least some small way to this little community, which has already proved to be a great info site for me.

Hey Gigamach - welcome. As you will learn, this board moves pretty slow but the invaluable information on Chap Mei's treasures can't be found anywhere else. The Beast Raider stuff is great - I'm looking for Blade Killer figure now, to modify/repaint as a Hades figure for the Legends of Olympus line.

Hello everyone, I've been reading this board for years now so i figured I would introduce myself. My name is Josh and i have been a chap mei enthusiast since I first found them at K-mart back in 2000. I still have quite a few holes in my collection that I hope to fill eventually. I really love the new True Legends line at TRU.

Hello Everyone. I am new to this board, but I have been interested in Chap Mei for a while, mainly the medieval and fantasy lines. I have managed collect a few of the easier to find figures off of Ebay, and the new True Legends line at Toys R Us has renewed my interest! I like to take pics of my figures and would like to post some up soon.

Hello guys. I cant belive there are people that actually follow work of chap mei. I'v became a fan like 10 years ago or even more when i got my first action figure with all that perfect details and firm structure not like others action figures that were grumpy and slopy with bad color and movement.Since i was unable to collect those couse of economic colaps in my country i only had 5 of them ,but i said ill collect them one day.So that day came and here i am at your forum geting all this great info about collections and bootlegs. Great thing im from serbia and years ago Chap Mei flooded our market without someone to stand beside them ,couse i bet G.I.JOE,Star Wars and all other figures were to expensive for us, couse chap mei wasnt cheap back then to..So im starting my hunt and you'll get informed about my sesion !
