I think every toy hunter in the business knows the concept of the Holy Grail. That one item on the top of your wish list, that you MUST have no matter what. No doubt Chap Mei have these unfindable treasures too, and I've compiled my own personal list of what *I* think are Chap Mei's most desirable items. Of course a number of them I have found already, but I'm just giving an indication of which items I think are the most awesome, in combination with being extremely rare. And here they are. A happy smiley indicates the item is part of my collection. A sad smiley indicates the opposite! Top ten Holy Grails 1. Sea Wyvern ;D 2. Fiery Tyrannotron ;D 3. V-22 Osprey ;D 4. Mighty Hurricane ;D 5. Drakkar Longship ;D 6. Sabertron ;D 7. Captain Rogue ;D 8. Black Widow  9. Adventure Heroes Airship 10. Mirage Ghost ship ;D Anyone else have a list like this of their own? let's see it! |

I just have 2 Holy Grail items on my want list....the Mighty Mo sperm whale, from the Deep Sea Adventure theme. And I don't know much about this next one, except that I've seen a picture of it - the new & large Cyclops figure.
There is 1 piece that I love & grabbed in a hurry. I had only seen this at my local Toy's R Us once & that's the large 2 headed wolf from the Knights line.

Like wolf, the top 2 Chap Mi pieces on my Holy Grail list are the Cyclops (ELC cave troll) and Mighty Mo....... Just recently I knocked 3 off the list: OctoBlast, Giant Barracuda, and the Vikings Line Sea Serpent......... I guess #3 on my list goes to the solid octopus from various lines. daUnsaneUrsine

Mighty Mo is definitely an awesome figure, although unless you pose him on a glass, he will have trouble standing up! There's a spotted repaint in the vikings line as well. Here is a shot I did of my latest find Captain Rogue with Mighty Mo in the background!  |

im pretty simple really. because of space issues i only collect figures and a few playsets, although chap mei has alot of cool vehicles and big creatures i dont usually pursue them.
what im looking for the most right now are.
the old space quest dog and chimp.
roasterhead from the cops and badguys.
the old beast raiders tower.
the basic figures from the cave man, viking and new knights lines. i still havent found a single one.
the viking ship and mammothn as well as the new knights cyclops would be cool too.

There was never a chimp made in the old Space Quest Mission Explorers line; you've got them mixed up with Lanard, I believe! ;D I too really want to find the new Medieval Knights line. Or at least a sign that they are being made available *somewhere* that might have them end up on Ebay where I can find them. Heck even Waterlily has stopped selling Chap Mei.  |

Well, with the recent TRU release of the Chap Mei Sperm Whale, my Holy Grail list has been reduced by one. I was able to score the ELC cave troll AKA Chap Mei Cyclops from eBayUK (I paid far too much for it), so another one is off of my list........ So, for now the Humpback whale is the top Holy Grail. If anyone can help me out, please contact me at: MammutNut@aol.com
Maybe I have something that you are searching for.... Thanks, daMammutNut

I´d say n#1 would be the Police Power Station Playset. It´s huge and near impossible to find. The one I own was the only I ever saw: jomitoys.blogspot.com/2009/08/police-power-station-playset.htmlso my list of rarities would be: #1 Police Power Station #2 SF V-22 Osprey #3 Adventure Heroes Sphynx Tomb Playset (The Mole) #4 Cursed Pharaoh´s Tomb Playset #5 Legend of Knights Deluxe Castle Attack #6 SF Black Widow #7 Sea Wyvern #8 Drakkar Longship #9 Mammoth Transporter Playset #10 Cyclops |

After reading, and witnessing Gouhldrool"s review of Kronox, I decided that my ChapMei collection needed to include it..... After searching for 1/2 hour or more for the email of my my trading partner in France, I decided that I would try to obtain it all by myself......... I went to Amazon France, and found Kronox. With a normal credit card, and no understanding of French, I was able to order it. It cost about 40 bucks (US) and took nearly a month to get here; but it is now in my collection. I wish that it had wings instead of the howdah on it's back, but it is still a very COOL CM figure! The anthropomorphic RhinoMan will be a nice back-up to the Papo RhinoMan in my GoodvsEvil diorama...... So, if you want the KRONOX, go ahead and order it from AmazonFrance! I wish all CM figures were this easy to aquire.....Latter, UrsaUnsane
