I'm not sure if here or somewhere else, I have seen people mentioning the Chap Mei A-10 as good for Rattler customs. Well... I found this in TJ Maxx:
It is probably a Chap Mei knockoff, as this is not an Excite or Joyin product, but the mold is there, and probably great for a custom. It is $24.99. Currently debating with myself if I should grab it or not. |

I think it's Chap Mei's molds, they sold or licensed to whomever. Those official US Military sets have used older Chap Mei molds.

Currently debating with myself if I should grab it or not. You know what annoys me about these? There's never any place to actually order these, and they're never easily available so even if you go to a local Ross or TJMAXX there's no guarantee they ever had one of these. You can go to every Ross and TJMaxx in a local 50-100 mile radius and never have a chance of ever having seen one of these. *Edit: Oh my god. This is the Official Air Force Version, not the Army version by Excite. The separation of Branches even extends to licensing deals for Chap Mei toys.

if you mean the defender space jet loosly based on the sigma 6 firebat that was made by Boley. I hope that information makes it easier for you to find provided thats the one you meant.

Maybe not the same quality though. Quote:

I have been debating whether I return this or keep it and customize it. I can see the potential in it, but I have almost zero experience in customization to do a good work on it.
This weekend though, I decided to bite the bullet and give it a shot. So far, I'm mostly playing with possibilities here, but the potential is enormous in my opinion and I like what I'm seeing.

EDIT: Just found through google that a company called Brooklyn Lollipop has the official Air Force toy license, but doesn't have this jet pictured in the one group pic I saw. I've recently seen some of the other AF labeled items they had pictured in stores though. Also something interesting is that they seem to have the official Space Force license as well. No products listed or pictured in it yet.

I stumbled onto the mech at one of the dollar stores. It's a surprisingly large Mech for $15.
