Ok I know its technically not joe but I hope its ok to post it in this section.
I don't do many reviews so heres my go for this machine. As promise I have picked up one of these cool looking subs for my joes and for a review. Over all Verdict I give it an 8/10. it comes in pretty basic colours no paint apps. the included stickers are for that job. (which I left off bar the shark face for the alternate side as it comes with one pre-stuck on) My main down points on this is as follows. the figures that come with it are ugly and clunky and terrible (as are most chap mei ones, the heads may be redeemable ) and its not designed to float big bummer for a submarine toy :( . I do have one other gripe but it could be just mine, it was meant to come with a computer console for the inside similar to the C-130 plane as theres even a sticker for it but mine is missing this. I searched all over the box and it was sealed when I bought it so looks like it was left out at factory. the set also comes with a mini one man sub that can be stored on the inside (see pics) and a one man landing raft. Over all the sub is about 2feet long and has a opening bow (hope thats right nautical term :P ) and the mid section opens . the periscope can also raise up an down and yes there is a door on the side of the sub it has a small clasp at the top that holds it closed when you turn the handle. there is also lights and sounds that make the typical sub sonar sounds and firing topedos. on the rear there is a hatch that opens to show missiles which also act as the ones for the launcher on the side of the sub. although you only get enough to fit the space at the back. on the intereior there is as mentioned meant to be a console and a single chair. guess everyone else has to stand . ok the part ye all want the pics (just hope I can upload them all ) ^^ according to the box that blank space is where the console should been.

Count me in! Chap Mei/Soldier Force (..Toys R Us) needs hurry up & to get this Sub! As soon as they do; I will be buying one! Every now & then this company spews out a gem for 3 3/4 figures (..Gi Joes)! Awesome find friend! Now you know someone is going to figure out a way to get this bad boy to float! It is almost as if; someone on the Chap Mei/ Soldier Force production & sales team said; "Damn, how can we A) get more people to buy our toys & B) Sell more of our toys to a wider audience outside of Chap Mei bargain shopping parents C) be original at the same time ANSWER: We make our toys Gi Joe scale, interchangeable within the Gi Joe toy universe and come out with vehicles that Hasbro hasn't produced for Gi Joe fans (..like the AB-115 Shark Plane, the Police Force Armoured truck, Ah-64d Apache Longbow, the True Heroes/Soldier Force Rocket Hauler truck, the Navy Seal boat and more)! When this toy eventually hits state side; this will be a Gi Joe customizers dream! I tip my hat off to the design & production team over at Chap Mei/Soldier Force; just brilliant!

Does the front top flip open? Couldn't tell if it was shown in the pics. I'll definitely get a few when(if) they show up at TRU.
Edit: never mind, I see you mention it opens, & see figures through the clear panels. Last edited by Sniper Viper; 07-07-2013 at 03:11 PM.. |
