Cang Toys Battle of the World Gods GMS-001 1/100 炎帝 Yandi

 Chinese Mecha model kit strikes again and this one is from a manufacturer called Cangtoys which are apparently different with Cangdao Toys. Dubbed as 炎帝 which literally means Flame Emperor, China presents a Fire themed Choppy mecha which is part of a series called 界神之战 which means Battle of the World Gods and the first one to be featured. Scheduled for Q1 2025 release Yandi will be available with 2 variants 158 RMB for Regular Frame and 188 RMB for the Diecast Frame.

While this lineup is still not the exactly most original mech as you can see plenty of the Popular Gundam bits and pieces especially for the rest of the future possible lineup below, The end result mech still looks cool enough. In terms of Aesthetics, Yandi is a dedicated close combat unit through and through, armed to the teeth with select choices of weapons ranging from Polearms, Dual Blades and slashing Drone weapons.  Yandi particularly caught my attention because it is a good proxy for Fire Masoukishin Granveil, one of my favorite mecha from Masoukishin series that never gets any worthy collectible until now. Out of the 5 candidates for this Battle of World Gods lineup, Yandi is one of the better designs apart from Susanoo which is the Samurai Mecha. Many Chinese manufacturers could release many attention products but lets see if CangToys able to see through this particular lineup until the end. I will leave the Rosters concept art as to conclude this post.
