They have been doing elbow and knee joints off & on since the Sentinel 1 figures.

Now hold on a minute.....

A mission commander in a different color? Don't play with my emotions Chap Mei.

Once again ..... we see the same thing.

BTW...i'm looking forward to showing you what i've been working on. It's in the same vein....

More I look at these the more I think about the proposed Overkill BAT uprising we nearly got after VvV.
It may happen now with these as new additions to the BATs.

Yep. That era of GI Joe crossed my mind when i looked at these as well. The design screamed "new sculpt".

In this case it works.

Yeah, they've done the occasional elbow or knee, but this is actual swivel/rotate shoulder and elbow and rotate wrist. That's what surprises me.

Heh, I figured you thought the same thing. Can't wait to see what you've been working on. I'm still working on the same project I've been doing for a couple months now. I may have bitten off more than I can chew.

Evn if you're ignoring how they copied Lanard on story, and on several design elements none of you can ignore that this bot design is borrowed from 52 toys, and has been lightly modified, Like I said Chap Copies EVERYONE!

The Chap Mei robot designs look more like Fresh Retro MP 03 IMO but ultimately what matters to me is ..... will the toys actually make it to store shelves (while priced attractively) or will this be vaporware? Even asking that question reminds me to , once again, appreciate what Dollar Tree pulled off with Final Faction.

Product images have been posted on the official website:

The bot is completely adequate. Just enough articulation in the right places and just generic enough to be used in multiple collection settings. If they're sold in multi figure packs i'm on board.

If they don't provide an easier way to obtain the 'bot...... *heads back to 3d printing room*

Holy cow, those figures actually have articulation! I never thought I'd see Chap Mei do more than the 5 cuts and either elbows or knees.

Also, I want a bunch of these:

Same here.
