Loz Blocks

A visit to the TTTE Wikia revealed to me that a brand new Thomas construction toyline is coming soon. They are made by a company called ZhenFeng, ZhengFeng or Loz, and it's quite scary how most of the elements used in the prototypes (?) appear to be stolen directly from LEGO. A few of the LEGO counterparts of these elements have already been used in some of the countless LEGO Thomas MOCs I've seen images of. Also, the faces are actually moulded, and not prints, stickers or decals. They are the exact same size and diameter as the parts used for boilers in certain LEGO steam engines, meaning anyone could easily slap them on or use them on their own versions of these characters. Prototype images of Thomas, James, Percy and Emily have been uploaded, and they look fairly decent. However, James and Emily are not as nice looking as the other two, and they could definitely use some improvement. They don't appear to have a coupling system, so I have no idea how they could actually pull any rolling stock. That is, if any will be made.

Thomas:

[spoiler][Image: 621?cb=20161127040820] (IMO the best looking out of all four models. The use of a mug for the headlamp is also quite interesting).[/spoiler]

Percy:

[spoiler][Image: 624?cb=20161127040837] (His wheels appear to be too far apart and the front of his tank should've been green).[/spoiler]

James:

[spoiler][Image: 634?cb=20161127040829] (I feel he should've been given the same funnel design used for Thomas [albeit taller], as well as smaller leading and tender wheels compared to the drivers).[/spoiler]

Emily:

[spoiler][Image: 640?cb=20161127040804] (Note the use of non-train wheels for the drivers. The face also doesn't look like the CGI one).[/spoiler]

I wonder what this means for the Mega Bloks license. Is there a chance that will continue once these versions are sold in stores and/or online? And what could LEGO train builders do with these if they buy them?

One thing that's curious is that only Thomas' image has an actual Sodor background, whereas the others don't. Could they be unlicensed and added to the Wiki by mistake?
