Sluban releases 4 new Mecha sets under the name Super Mecha Champions on Aliexpress. The sets range from humorous to super deformed to highly detailed.  |

I did find it funny that Sluban's advertising for each of these sets included a specific note about how the heads on all sets can rotate 360 degrees. Almost like they ran out of positive things to point out.

Grizzly Mech Assault! I was thinking it could have been a Winnie the Pooh Mech, leaving the door open for an Eeyore Mech, a Piglet Mech, Tigger Mech and the list goes on!  |

I would say that since Sluban is using the Super Mech Champions name from right off the original models boxes as your picture shows then they most likely are a licensed product. Sluban seems to actually get official licenses instead of going the Lepin way of copyright infringement.

Sluban seems to actually get official licenses instead of going the Lepin way of copyright infringement. Aha! I didn't see the names, or the insignias all over. Crazy! I'm glad they're going that. A while ago, I saw some knock off sets of some model kits that I was actually quite enamoured of, they are very creative with their use of parts. |

Seems like more of the Chinese block companies are starting to come to the realization that is they license products from companies then they can make products for sale in other countries without having the risks of lawsuits. Even though it's hard for companies outside China to win copyright infringement cases within China it still can happen and it still costs both companies money they could otherwise have earned. That diatriad said nothing will ever stop Lepin from copying LEGO until the LEGO shock troopers are sent in. |

I want the orange one so I can put a minifigure driver into it!
BTW, the link didn't work for me. Is there a set number associated with these?

I apologize but it seems I'm having problems making direct links to Items or store fronts on Aliexpress so the best I can do is this. This store on Aliexpress has the lowest price I found for these 4 mechs with free shipping. copy and paste this address it's a direct link to the above mecha on a store named Bawelo Store www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003639232083.html?pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22:%2212000026604047379%22,%22ship_from%22:%22%22%7D&gps-id=pcStoreJustForYou&scm=1007.23125.137358.0&scm_id=1007.23125.137358.0&scm-url=1007.23125.137358.0&pvid=8d24d5b0-446f-4435-8ac9-4ce83f9ef5ff&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.smartJustForYou_6000554809587.0 Sorry but when I create a link to it on the forum it redirects to the Aliexpress front page everytime.
