Versus : Badger and Clawz
New category: "Versus". Some vehicles, playsets and figures from many "obscure" brands are based on "major league" brands. For that reason, and for customizing ideas... we´ll get on top of a few of them.
1991 G.I.Joe Badger Vs Bad Guyz Clawz
Clawz looks like an 80s version of the Badger.
Missile emplacements and cage detail.
A Dreadnok weapon... of course!
Scale is great, painting just fine, detail is awesome. The only negative point : lack of foot pegs.

Jungle Adventure Giant Gorilla Playset
Action-packed playset with the beautiful v.2 giant gorilla figure!
With the previous "Giant Ape" in the back of mind, but starting fresh, Chap Mei created a great new one!
Included items.
Included accessories.
Included animals.
Figure: Colonel Green.
2009 Giant Gorilla. A leap from the precious model, this is a precise replica. Very "King Kong
". Rotating wrists, one can achieve great poses with this figure. Electronic, features the same sound as the Wild Quest 2/Soldier Force IV giant ape.
Scale shot with a RAH G.I.Joe figure.
The plane is basically a variation of the Yellow Jacket from Dino Valley 3. minus the wing-mounted cannons. This color may be nicer, though.
Propeller and its wind-up actionat work!

Wild Quest figure playset – Black Hawk
Only missing his "pet" Hawk, this figure had some very good sculpt details although somehow displaced in this theme. On the other hand, rescue comes in many ways and needs lots of different field experts...
Here in its single figure card form, comes to show how Chap Mei used to do things. Sadly, the accessories were often mixed and sometimes, not at all fitting.
Included items.
Included accessories.
Also reviewed in the Wild Quest 2 Seaplane Rescue Playset post, let´s just say it packs some really good details.
Worthy of note, the shoulder details, the bird of prey glove and an overall mountain climber look.
This is a very cool looking guy, too bad it only had 1 swivel arm. Holster is also a plus!
