Retail Price: 11,000 JPY / $79 USD

Release Date: February / March 2024

In recent years, the potential of space has attracted more attention, and it has become more familiar, such as research on how humans can live on the moon. In addition, Takara Tomy, in collaboration with JAXA, etc., has developed an ultra-compact lunar robot nicknamed "SORA-Q" (*2). It will be installed on the lunar landing demonstration vehicle "SLIM", and "SORA-Q" is scheduled to be launched to the moon. The development of "SORA-Q" utilized Takara Tomy's knowledge of miniaturization and weight reduction cultivated in toy making, as well as technology related to deformation mechanisms represented by "Transformers". We sincerely hope that through SORA-Q, children will be more interested in the natural sciences than ever before, and that it will be an opportunity for them to learn about the wonders of space. We will release the 1/1 scale model “SORA-Q Flagship Model” (* 3) of “SORA-Q” on Saturday, September 2, 2023. Furthermore, this time, by combining our beloved long-selling brand "Transformers" with the theme of "space", we would like to provide opportunities to feel closer to the universe.
