I love the sculpts of the Chap Mei Marines but hate the articulation, vice versa, I hate the PTE sculpts, but the articulation is pretty good. These are a couple of Hybrid Marines I cobbled together using both lines, they need some paint work, but I think they are much improved over their original incarnations. LMK what you think.

Wow, I agree it is a vast improvement. I'd be interested to see what they look like when you paint them.

I dremeled out the arm sockets, and held the articulated PTE arms in place using plastic O rings, I cut from packaging materials. The legs were pretty simple. I hollowed out the Chap Mei fig's thighs with a dremel and plugged the PTE lower legs in.
Here they are with a few tweeks and paint Aps. Here's a comparison pic with the Original Chap Mei Marine |
