Shinkansen Transformation Robo: Shinkalion!

They are pretty fun!

Lots of news in the Shinkalion world today!

First off - Dengeki Hobby has published a feature on the upcoming DXS 01 and 02 - featuring new photos.

...and best of all - The first real look at Shinkalion The Animation!

Awesome! Thanks for finding these!

One little addendum - here's a picture of Rie Murakawa, who's lending her voice to the anime.



That's not a released toy in her hand there, that's the yet to be announced DXS 03 E7 Kagayaki!

Even more news today - here's the catalog showing retailers what's coming down the line soon enough.







E3 Flare Wing returns! Not sure about Iron Wing.


Also shown is some new playsets and the DX Shinca Gear - which will work with all the tickets coming with the new releases and make sounds.

Love the Red Thunder - the cargo becomes a weapon for our heroic robots!

Looking at the new versions of the toys now? :p

The Shinca Gear comes with the E5 and E6 tickets on its own.

I threw some of the catalog through google translate - the freight engine will be the first Shinkalion item to have a motor!

Finally! A motorised Shinkalion!

Not exactly, it's more of just a regular Plarail item with containers that become a weapon for the Shinkalions.

Additionally, I ran down the toy catalog and tried to translate certain things.

Here's LEON1CHANNEL1's early look at DXS 01 E5 Hayabusa!

...there's a cut-out for a power switch on the middle car! Takara may be hinting at something...
