Could these newly listed trains at Hobby Search be Transformer type? They have them listed as (no pictures) Shinkansen deformation Robot Shinkarion Series E5 - E6 & E7. There was also some big type of display that Suzukawa showed at the 2015 Plarail show (see her video)
The Japanese have a real affinity with robots, long story short: they invented the transformers franchise and Takara Tomy make several high end collector versions of figures from the show/movies that are more like replicas than toys (The masterpiece line etc). There is a new series out this year that is still screening (robots in disguise) but it is yet to be seen if there will be a train transformer like the one shown above but the Japanese do love a crossover hehe. But yes that is probably Transformer type listed on Hobby search.
Very interesting, Thanks Ucwepn. Now I am even more curious as to what the ones listed as trains at Hobby Search will be like.
I'm Super knows already but these are the ones Suzukawa Ayako saw at the Plarail Expo 2015 (Tokyo).
Takara invented Transformers which were sold by Hasbro in the US. -plarnold |
