I think they are closer to 4 inches.. certainly not 5.

They're 5. Joes these days are closer to 4 than 3 3/4th, and these are bigger than Joes by a noticeable amount. The heads are undersized though, making them Joe scaled, and the vehicles are underdetailed in the right ways so that Joes won't seem out of scale in them I think.

I'd really want to see comparison pics because I'm skeptical that they are 5 inches. Chap Mei put out that line of 5 inch light up knights figures and these don't look anywhere as big as those did.

Fig's are just a smidge over 4 inches, just picked up the van with a 20% off coupon. Also picked up the Renagades fig's and the van seems a good fit for them. Glad the ship is huge, cuz the van is small(in a good way). I'll get a few pics up in a bit.

The turret is removable incase one doesnt like the electronics,

Inside is empty but one could easily add seats,

Not to bad to go along with some sci-fi fig's like Crysis 2, or ROC Delta Accelerator Suit fig's, Renegades, etc...

I was hoping that it would work for Joes and other 3 3/4 inch lines, what's the price of the van and the ship ?

Van has to be about 20 and the ship is probably around 40

Saw the four pack today at TRU. Pretty cool looking. Didn't buy them, though. Really wanna see the plane thing in person.

Thanks for the New update C Urbach, my local TRU only has the 4 pack of figures, can't wait to see this mech in person.

I want that van for sure. Maybe the figs too, just for fodder. Doing a lot more sci-fi stuff these days, so I see some potential. While the C-130 looks like the kind of toy I dreamed of as a kid, getting the sci-fi vehicles might make more sense for me presently.

Nice to see this line expanding like that.
Almost feels like in the 80's when all those toy companies made GIJoe compatible toys... almost.

i finally found the C-130 on the last day of the sale, i am in love with it. It is huge and a ton of fun. i see a lot of people griping about how undersized it is, and it certainly is, but it isn't like there is another compatible one out there. It is a really unique piece, and pretty sturdy, I have been letting my kid play with it. I do wish the body was a bit larger so a vintage VAMP or Stinger could roll up the loading ramp like the Chinook.

I also didn't realize it was Chap Mei, I assumed it was that other company that makes the military base and some of the other pieces that look like Knock Off Chap Mei. Plus, the figures have arm and leg articulation, I think that is a first for Chap Mei. This might be the first time that the US got one of the big CM vehicles before Europe. I don't remember seeing this piece before anywhere. it almost makes up for the CM stuff we've never gotten here.
