Back in 2022, Bad Snow recommended a LEGO ideas project: "Sony Walkman" designed by Jerac.
This project achieved good results in the 10k duel, but it suffered a waterloo in the mass production evaluation stage, which made people sigh.
Now, while searching for a new ideas project, Bad Snow has found another "Sony Walkman" project that has been selected as a staff pick. Yes, you read that right, the names of these two projects are exactly the same. This time, the designer is called SRTAjirafaenfadada。
Outwardly, the new project is much the same as the one that was not selected.
Their main design elements are strikingly identical: both are based on the classic WM-22 and include a retractable headset body, tape and headphones. **The details on the back of the device also try to restore the charm of WM-22. In addition, the designers presented us with four different color tapes. Do you remember that this color tape used to be used for your own recordings?
Under the complex of LEGO to create all things, many old objects with commemorative significance have been recreated. Such as the Polaroid cameras, vintage film cameras, etc., which we mentioned earlier. As a memory of a generation, the WALKMAN has naturally resonated with many players. Although the previous project failed to pass the review, the project of the same prototype was once again recommended by LEGO Ideas, which is undoubtedly thought-provoking: does this mean that LEGO has an internal intention to mass-produce the Sony Walkman?
In any case, we still look forward to this new Walkman project to achieve the goal of 10K support and recreate the classic!
