Doyusha to Release Speed Racer Block Kits in December 2026
Doyusha is betting on Speed Racer's long overseas recognition rather than on a new broadcast, turning a 1967 television car into a build-and-display product aimed at two generations of buyers.
Reporting from 1 source: Dengeki Hobby Web.
Doyusha will release block kits of the Mach 5 and the Shooting Star from Mach GoGoGo, the 1967 racing anime known overseas as Speed Racer. Both kits are set for December 2026 at 3,850 yen each, tax included. The white Mach 5 measures 175 by 72 by 86 millimeters; the yellow Shooting Star measures 175 by 72 by 43 millimeters. Each kit includes a dedicated display stand.
Doyusha is making both of the show's signature cars in block form. The Mach 5 comes in white, the Shooting Star in yellow, and both measure 175 millimeters long. Each kit includes a dedicated stand, so the finished build works as a display piece rather than only a toy. The two releases carry the same price and the same release month.
Doyusha frames the kits as reaching buyers on both sides: nostalgia for viewers who know Mach GoGoGo, and the assembly appeal of blocks for younger buyers who do not.
