Mach GoGoGo, the 1967 Tatsunoko Production racing anime known overseas as Speed Racer, is airing on Disney Channel in Japan in a weekday midnight block with four episodes per day. Doyusha is also releasing Mach 5 and Shooting Star block kits in December 2026.
Mach GoGoGo circulates in Japan in two forms as of the latest stories. Disney Channel began airing Tatsunoko Production's 1967 racing anime on August 7, 2026, running weekdays at midnight with four episodes per day. The series is known overseas as Speed Racer, and the broadcast is the channel's first airing of the classic car-action show.
Merchandise followed the broadcast news. Doyusha will release block kits of the Mach 5 and the Shooting Star in December 2026, priced 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.
The two stories point to the same strategy from different ends. Disney Channel puts the 1967 series in front of a current television audience in Japan, while the Doyusha kits turn the two hero cars into build-and-display products for December 2026. The stories describe the series by the same production fact, Tatsunoko's 1967 anime, and by the same overseas title, Speed Racer.
No production details beyond the 1967 origin, the broadcaster, the airtime, the kit sizes, prices, and release month appear in the stories. Cast, staff, episode counts, and further releases are not stated.
