Shinkansen Transformation Robo: Shinkalion!

[Super]

These must be pretty popular as they keep releasing new versions. They appear to be more popular than the Advance trains which has been rumored to be discontinued. Wonder if they did this to a few Thomas and Friends trains of course not so violently with weapons and such if that would be popular?

Can't go wrong with Robots!

Shinkalion N700A arrived yesterday

That one is cool and different looking than some of the others.

Forgot about the release! It might be a while before I pick this guy up - I can't display everything!

They must be making enough money from you guys to continue making them. Which brings up the question of how popular are these for them to continue making them or will they go by the way of the Plarail Advance line. I would be interested to know the sales figures.

It would be interesting to see what a Shinkalion version of the new Genbi Shinkansen or the Mt. Fuji View Limited Express would look like in this form.

I know they call these 'Shinkalions' I guess because Shinkansens are used but I wonder if they have discussed using other trains like steamers for this? Or how about using some Thomas and Friends, now that would be cool...wouldn't it?

500 Type EVA was kind of inevitable. Evangelion is HUGE across the pond.

Will probably pick up it and N700 down the road - focused on Kamen Rider things at the moment.

An announcement is being made in 32 days... No clue as to what. Might be Shinkalion #13. Might be that Anime I've complained doesn't exist. Who knows.
