You hit the nail on the head with this one. I would agreed with everything you said in this. This is what makes chap mei so great. They don’t do authentic representations of real world vehicles but they stride the middle ground between something with a lot of play value and something with a little work can work in a diorama or a display piece and this is what makes it so successful. Hasbro should take note if they ever renew interest in the gi joe brand
HoodedCobraCommander788 I’ve seen in the background in some of your videos. I thought you might be a gi joe purist. Great to know you have this piece in your collection
That C130 model is kitted out like the "Expendables" I have this toy boxed new..The sounds and Gatling guns make this model.. It's awesome..I have the giant Nuclear submarine too.😁
I remember getting mine when they first released it and it was the only toy I played with for a long time, it was really fun to pretend it crashed exc, now it has no parts left on it just about
You can get it at target but it’s more rare. I got mine at Walmart or target I forgot because I don’t know where I got it. Walmart price: 90 - 95 dollar Target price: 60 dollars
great video! however, i think that the TRUE HEROES hovercraft deserves more attention. FANTASTIC toy with much more play features for the modern JOE collector. Also, the CORPS rain fire helicopter should be featured on this channel. thank you.
It looks really cool. I enjoyed your video as a G.I.Joe lover. But this thing is pretty big. Only way to display it is by hanging it from the ceiling i guess. since a display shelf, cabinet or even a table seems incapable for this beast. any way enjoy it.
Is True Heroes still a thing after TRU went under? I got some of the latter playsets like the hovercraft and bridge layer vehicle, but never got the Shark, submarine, or the battleship. I do however have a similar toy, The Corps! Elite Beast Bomber. That vehicle is interesting, but a little disappointing by virtue of the fact that it's called a bomber, looks like a bomber, and has no bombs to drop from its bomb bay door. That's probably my biggest complaint about it. That said, it has some interesting carrying capacity too, albeit it's not as cozy. The Shark has more versatility, as it can be used as anything from a troop transport, supply cargo transport, an Ariel command center, a ground support attack plane, etc etc. The Beast Bomber on the other hand is simply for attacking ground targets with some meager turrets for defending itself. If you get the chance you should pick it up, I got mine last year at Wal-mart for $25, half the price of the Shark, so I wouldn't recommend paying some of the extortionist prices out there online, but for what it is it was most definitively worth that. I wish I could have got the helicopter that was released too.
I remember when I was a kid and had these toys there was one which im not sure was made by the same company it was a huge helicopter with like 4 legs on the bottom that could pick up a car or something like that but I can't find it on any website's it was one of those helicopters that could turn into a plane and had people in like exo suits but it was so cool
pp boi I’m not sure about the 4 legs, but there are a couple helicopters from Chap Mei that come close to fitting that description. 1. www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/gi-joe-cobra-chap-mei-dino-valley-sky-1813009878 2. community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Toys-Hobbies/ACTION-FIGURES-CHAP-MEI-OSPREY-OR-HARRIER/td-p/17701591
sorry but isn't the price between the AB and eagle hawk are so close because one is smaller because the molding in details for smaller pieces is labor and that's why the price is so close to the AB which has bigger pieces, but it just shows you more smaller pieces shortens the size you can afford to pay for material and production. like the eagle hawk still has removable panels right? like that adds up in price equaling close to the AB; for as stupid as it is that's just how i always thought it was.
@@caithnessviolinist7903 The aftermarket prices are ridiculous but you can find some used ones for a descent price. I wish they would rerelease them again.

Well done! As a proud owner of the AB-115, I have to agree with you on all points.

Me too
Just bought one today and it was $30 at target oh the customization on this plane will be awesome
Sure the paint is pretty basic need a costume
Man this brings back memory’s, I remember getting this in 2013
I just binged watch your channel vids and its great! Keep it up!
Solid review. I'm definitely grabbing one of these asap.

Great review as always dude! Much appreciated 😎 keep up with the publications of reviews as its been almost 2 months bro😉

Magnificent. Wish you had uploaded this review in 2017 so I hadn't let it pass at Toys R us

Walmart price: 90 - 95 dollar
Target price: 60 dollars
I'd play with this. Great video. By the way I thought that Chap Mei and True Heroes were competitors.
Looks great
great video! however, i think that the TRUE HEROES hovercraft deserves more attention. FANTASTIC toy with much more play features for the modern JOE collector. Also, the CORPS rain fire helicopter should be featured on this channel. thank you.
Hey can you please do a review on the 1/18 scale bravo team tiger 1
some True Heroes are being sold on some Target stores, cool video man.
I’ve had the ab for like 5 or 6 years
Any online stores where I can buy chinooks and 115s
It looks really cool. I enjoyed your video as a G.I.Joe lover. But this thing is pretty big. Only way to display it is by hanging it from the ceiling i guess. since a display shelf, cabinet or even a table seems incapable for this beast. any way enjoy it.
I will always regret not getting this. I just don't have the space.
There is an alternate version of the plane witch comes with diferent soldiers
I've seen a smaller version that doesn't open at the top.
Where do you get your stuff I can’t find Them anywhere after toys are us closed
Can you review bradley from bbi elite force?

Have you guys seen the ab 115 copy the WolVol F 16 .
I would like to see you make a custom of this like paint the mini guns black put a shark face on it and fit some plastic into the cockpit window
I actually fly the 2021 soldier force ab-115 shark
Where did you get s1 toys
Yea I got one last year
One guy looks like captain price
Bailey W yeah it does!

I got the ab 115 and I put a tank in it LOL
I hate those side wing pieces. They fall off so easily, I just took them off
Yea, I wish it was a longer aircraft. It definitely seems too short.
I thought it was an off sprey for a second
You should repainted it and put a crow and a 💀 to be as like the movie Expanables
Mine has two guns on the tips of the wings
4:03 cat hair is stuck all over ur jumper 😂
It's actually dog hair.
Man I feel cheated I bought a fake one at target without realizing it
Its the same brand just under a different name after ToysRUs died.
Well said.
Incase you need yo know you can fit a Jurassic park jeep
-guns and seats
Can't fit through back hach
¿Screw the Eaglehawk? Easy man, take it easy. Peace.
Who's watching in 2020 and it's 350 now
LOL I'm in 2021!
And also... 350?

I have it but it has different figures
You probably have the hero force version; it's the exact same thing but with different stickers
Is that an c-130?
I think the glass is supposed to be imaginary.
What about the corps beast bomber it doesent have as much carrying capacity but I still enjoy it more
Check my channel for the reveiw of the beast
WHET ES CHAPPER NAEM
The real name:C-130
