For only $2, you get a 1:18 Quad, 3 3/4" action figure, and a bunch of accessories!
Image

Lots of accessories!
Image

I used a nail clipper and razor to carefully remove the accessories.
Image

Perfect for GI JOEs and other 3 3/4" figures!
Image

In this day and age, action figures have articulation. These Chap Mei figures have bad articulation so in other words, they suck!
Image

I bought this set because of the quad. It rolls smoothly.
Image

The dual guns slightly turn left and right.
Image

The search light bar is adjustable.
Image

A star on only one side of the vehicle.
Image

The figure can only hold one handlebar.
Image

Quad size comparison with GI JOEs.
Image

Vintage figures such as Law make a great fit. But I will say that the handlebars are thick so be careful.
Image

25th anniversary figures such as Breaker make a fantastic fit.
Image

I never in a billion years would have paid $8 for this set. But since it was on sale for only $2, I made sure I picked up at least one. Highly recommended if you can get it for $2.

The quad is worth $1.99, but the figure isn't. I have nabbed a few Soldier Force figures over the years, but only for the one or two heads that are sculpted well enough to use on customs.

So I could see nabbing this one, but I suspect the other one with the Bike will be a pass for me.

This is one of the better Chap Mei smaller vehicles I've seen. With a little detailing, it could be great. Nice review.

Can't stand the figure or accessories, but I'd get this for the quad alone. It looks like a great little vehicle, but I'd have to sand down those think handle bars a little.

I prefer Chap Mei's other lines, but that quad is cool looking and does look like it works well with both ARAH & Modern Joes, cool find and review Battlewagon.
