Canned Squad Unit - Blockade Division

 Some more interesting product released by Chinese Manufacturer which resembled Bandai's Gundam Ensemble/Robot Concerto Lineup which is created by a manufacturer called 百川模型 under the lineup dubbed Canned Squad Unit. Wonder if this one will get into hot waters with Bandai since the product use the Gundam Ensemble Joints but certainly this one will have a upper hand if they ever have a smooth sailing as this products open up plenty of avenue by denying Monopoly by Bandai. Having 3 Mecha variants as the part of early roster dubbed Blockade Division, Canned Squad Unit will be sold for 49 RMB each with June release schedule. 

Mirroring after the pattern of HGUC Operation V, Canned Squad Unit Blockade Divison which consist of Barking Hound Space Type, Gauntlet Attacker and Chariot General followed the synergy of Gundam, Guncannon and Guntank respectively with some extra tweak by the Chinese Modeller. Given that I was an avid Gundam Ensemble collector myself, Barking Hound catches my attention the most given the base value is even better than Hazel Kai + Armor parts while the rest is not appealing enough unless it made from Diecast. Should the Canned Squad unit flourish long enough, the manufacturer will make big money If they could make some Mobile Armor stuff given there is a demand gap on this aspect as these sort of stuffs are still pricey from Bandai. I will leave the translated content details for each Canned Squad Unit which I found on KOO Facebook Page.
