The first item will be the 12 MechatroWeGo Aqua which will be the first release from the new 1/12 scale series.
Being more than just a simple scaled up version from the 35 MechatroWeGo series, it will come with many new features revealed for the first time.
So, what’s so good about it? Here are 4 points that are different from the smaller versions.
1) Standing tall at 22cm, it is big and as we all know, bigger is always better.
2) The 12 MechatroWeGo will have new details and gimmicks shown for the first time!
3) LED Lights are built in and the eyes and tail lights to light up.
4) The 1/12 scale version will have more range of motion compared to the 1/35 version.
This is THE toy we dreamed of as a kid, with its big scale and cool details, light-up and articulation. What more can you ask for?

Toa Heavy Industries display for ToyCon UK

IZMOJUKI, the first mecha series from 1000toys.
The IZMOJUKI series will be a core-based toy which allows you to mix and match parts from different types to build your own mechs.
Designed by the mecha designer Junji Okubo, who is famous for his works on the original ‘Steel Batalion’ game as well as various anime series, this will feature a mecha design different from what we consider as classic mechs.
Making its first appearance out of Asia, this is a must see for the mecha lovers at ToyCon UK
About Junji Okubo
From designing the classic Vertical Tank mecha for the original “Steel Battalion”, to the transforming Strike Suit space fighters in “Strike Suit Zero”, Junji Okubo has defined a fresh new industrial aesthetic in the varied realm of mecha design.
Eschewing much of the theatrics common in Japanese mecha, Junji Okubo approaches mecha as machines that could almost exist in real life. The result of this approach is a unique visual style that has a very broad appeal.
The mark of a classic mecha is, whether if its form follows function. With all of Junji Okubo’s designs, you can quickly see what they are used for and how they could work. It’s this charm that has made his work so accessible and engaging.
Follow Junji Okubo at his FB and Tumblr to see more of his great works via Facebook and Tumblr.
A new Toa Heavy Industries line will be revealed at ToyCon UK 2016
