Size Compatible Toylines

[Azrael]

So I know I've seen some other threads of great toylines that are a fit for the corps but I wanted to make a less specific one to talk about all lines that could be a fit. This moslty deals with vehicles, playsets, buildings, and accessories more than figures. I've seen chap mei mentioned but to me some seem a little on the small side. My list so far would have to be of course the two most mentioned Kid Connection and Adventure Force. I know they're also Lannard but I can't wait to get my hands on some of the Total Soldier playsets too. I'm new to collecting the Corps sets but I love it so far. Total G.I. Joe nostalgia for me. Started it because I wanted a sort of...standard world for my kids toys. Something the girls and boys could play with and mix. So this thread might have some rather strange additions such as girls toys as well...(Jefe:"Will someone PLEASE get Polly Pocket outta the line of fire!") Found 4" was the best idea. Would love any suggestions for anything out there you come across that seems to fit what I'm getting at. Looking mostly for buildings ATM but I'm a total sucker for accessory sets too.

So just to showcase what I have now: If anyone out there for whatever reason is looking for normal buildings or furniture oddly enough Calico Critters are pretty size compatible. They can get pricey but they have everything you could ever think of. If one didn't have a budget you could build a whole city with these. Repaint to look war torn or more bleak, add some bases, and viola. Next, I'm excited about the Jurassic Clash series because Corps vs. Dino's is pretty much my kids game. Both KC and AF are all over this. They both come with some pretty cool accessories that are perfect for the Corps. (Table, lantern, binoculars) The green dinosaur and the orange jeep is from the kid connection playset. It came with the blue guy (Hence named " Blue Guy") which looks like a generic Owen. Their figures seem pretty close to Corps too. But limited articulation. The Rex is a perfect size. The Corps figures fit perfectly in the vehicles as well. The set came with binoculars, a tablet, camera, spotlight, video recorder, water bottle, stun stick and lantern. The orange dinosaur is actually adventure force. Both make roars but the orange has a really cool chomping effect. The red Jeep was actually a lucky find at a thrift store places I'd suggest checking out. No idea the maker, no marks. You can always find vehicles and playsets there for cheap. So just wanted to share this with you guys and like I said if anyone comes across anything similar they wanna share please do.

The brand Click N' Play looks like they have alot of cool stuff as well but I can't tell just how close to size it is.

Are those ‘World Peacekeepers’? The buildings look cool and would probably look great with The Corps. But the vehicles are another matter. World Peacekeepers vehicles, many of which look very good, cannot fit The Corps figures. They even struggle to fit World Peacekeeper figures, even though they’re smaller and more articulate. I have a WPC truck with that problem, so I imagine that their humvees have the same problem as their cabins appear to be the same size. I also have their desert patrol vehicle and The Corps figures are too large to fit in there.

Yeah, Click N' Play is a rebranding of World Peacekeepers (which is also known as "Power Team Elite"). As mentioned above, the figures are roughly the same scale, but somewhat less bulky, and the vehicles are designed accordingly. You can get Joes into most World Peacekeeper vehicles, but not usually Corps or Chap Mei figures, as they're a bit too chunky. The World Peacekeepers buildings and battlefield props work great with nearly every brand. The figures are rather simple-looking, but have great articulation, and are versatile.

Thanks for the info and the heads up on the vehicles guys. I still wanna get some of the props n such but I think I'll stick to KC and AF for vehicles. I saw a pickup truck the other day with an opening door that could be repainted to look pretty cool. "Normal" vehicles that figures can enter really peak my interest too. So as I'm learning about this stuff I discover more and more. Marauders was an awesome website. If I ever get into customizing I'll definitely be visiting them more often. My most recent discovery was True Heroes. Does anyone know anything about them? Saw an Apache that looked pretty interesting.

True Heroes was a Toys 'R Us exclusive branding of Chap Mei products. The line has a lot of overlap with other Chap Mei brands, like Soldier Force (basically the generic form of True Heroes) and their U.S. military toy lines (a brand family distributed by a company called Excite). The figures produced for the True Heroes brand tend to have a bit more articulation (elbows & knees) than the Soldier Force stuff, which tends to be 5 POA (points of articulation), but it varies. It's mostly all good stuff, but definitely targeted towards kids (which doesn't stop some of us adults from collecting it anyways). A lot of the Kid Connection stuff is copied/knocked off from Chap Mei, and a lot of the Adventure Force stuff is basically just rebranded/licensed official Chap Mei product. So if the KC/AF stuff is working out for you, pretty much any True Heroes/Soldier Force/U.S. Whatever should work too. The Apache is very popular, even for people who mostly deal with more "realistic" brands like Joe or Marauder.

Also, Target is starting to carry True Heroes under a new branding. I think it was "Hero Force", but I'm drawing a blank.
