Sentinel’s 35MechatroWeGo is back in a new super fun 80’s inspired colorway!

Advertisements

I absolutely love the MechatroWeGo and truthfully, anything made by Sentinel. The quality of their products is absolutely breathtaking, and the engineering is Grade A perfection each and every time. I personally have one of the MechatroWeGo toys– there were model kits of it at DesignerCon 2019, which I purchased directly from the 1000toys booth.

I chose light blue and I’ve been in love ever since. This new 80s color scheme is super fun and charming. The MechaWeGo toys sell out quickly, but if you scope HobbyLink Japan or BigBadToyStore, there are a few specific varieties left in stock.

The MechaWeGo 80s colorway costs $40, ships May 2021, and is available today from HobbyLink Japan.

Official Press Release via Sentinel:

Inspired by the Italian design group Memphis, Mr. Kobayashi – the original creator of Mechatro
WeGo and mastermind behind CHUBU MECHATRONICS – provided color chips and paint
samples in a soft pastel palette to define the color scheme. Sentinel worked its production
magic to deliver a product that faithfully matched the colors of Kobayashi’s original prototypes
If you’re not familiar with the 1/35 scale MechatroWeGo releases from Sentinel, then you are in
for a treat – there is an unbelievable amount of articulation and poseability packed into a small
robot figure for 100% FUN!

Built with an ABS plastic frame and die-cast metal parts, this modular toy is designed to allow
for easy removal of various parts allowing for customization from simple decorations by
beginners to complex modification by professionals. The head hatch can be opened and closed,
and each arm and leg joint is fully articulated, so you can easily create many flexible poses.
In addition, each outer body part is exchangeable, so build your own WeGo by changing parts
with other types from the series.

The 1/35 scale MechatroWeGo is approx. 75mm in height and fits perfectly in your hand!
The product package has been updated to a clear box that displays 35MechatroWeGo 80’s in a
dynamic pose.

This newest release is a playful addition to any MechatroWeGo collection.
