Reminds me of the Warthog AIFV.

I still wish I had scooped up a Steel Badger before they disappeared from all the TRU stores. I spent more than enough time breathing diesel fumes in the back of these damn things, so it would have been cool to have one for my Joe team Jarheads to drive around!

That's because they were both based on the Marine Corps AAV. The Steel Badger is actually closer to the real thing than the Warthog, but you can't miss the fact that that's what they used as inspiration back in '88.

I have had the worst luck tracking down Chap Mei items. I know some of the stuff pops up at places like Big Lots, TRU and Rite Aid but is there a site to order online? I've seen some stuff on EBay go for (what seems) very high price markups but it seems like that is the only place to find some of the more non military lines. Any ideas?

I purchased mine at TRU. You can find them online at TRU, but you need to type in the name. If you just go to True Heroes, some of the vehicles will not show up. Don't know why. Here is my custom Steel Badger.

I would have jumped at getting this if the other two hatches on the front open for drivers as well. Too bad it didn't.

My local toy store has an absolute ton of Chap Mei stuff, probably 15 ft wide by 8ft high. It's hard to tell if they restock fast or the stuff never moves. Last time i went in they had a ton of the Chap Mei version of this LAV.
I can't remember if this has been shown on the tank but they also had this POC VAMP clone. Amazon.com: The Corps ATK: Toys & Games Not an exact copy, but it was an identical size and good quality. Has this shown up in the US?

Do they use the lead paint in their domestic stuff or just on ours?
