New for 2013 is a new line of military figures I discovered last weekend by Chap Mei, a Navy Seals line. This line looks to be closely related to their Marines line as some of the same figure molds are used. The Marines and Navy Seals lines I'm discussing here are stand alone lines from the Toys R Us True Heroes line. The Navy Seals line has 6 individually carded figures, 2 deluxe figures that each come with a mini water-faring vehicle/boat, and a deluxe set that comes with two figures and a pontoon style boat that can hold up to 5 figures of this scale(3 3/4"). Only one store within an hour's drive from me has both of these lines more or less in their entirety and it's not even really a toy store, it's a hardware store with about 3 or 4 aisles of toys(it used to be a Gibson's). I do not have any pics available at this time but I will post some asap unless someone else does it first. I have pretty much shunned a lot of the second tier military lines such as by Chap Mei, The Corps!, and World Peacekeepers but I liked how some of the frog men were painted in this Navy Seals line. Now I'm starting to kind of like the Marines line as well.

Just Googled these-the vehicles are AMAZING! Not into the figs so much. Lust like new Corps! stuff. Lame (IMO) figs with killer rides.
