Takara Tomy has opened pre-orders for the Black Shinkalion as part of its Plarail SGX toy line. The set includes a three-car formation, weapons, and transformation into a dragon and Berserker Mode. A separate 800 Tsubame figure and a Link Combination Set pairing E5 Hayabusa with 800 Tsubame are also available.
Takara Tomy has begun accepting reservations for the Black Shinkalion in its Plarail SGX series, the toy line based on the TV anime Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion. The set, listed on Amazon at 6,930 yen, includes a three-car Shinkansen formation and an array of weapons that allow it to transform into a robot, a dragon, and a Dragon Knight form. Equipping all weapons enables the Berserker Mode, the figure's strongest configuration.
Alongside the Black Shinkalion, the company is releasing the SGX07 Shinkalion 800 Tsubame (4,950 yen, July 18) and a Link Combination Set that bundles the SGX01 E5 Hayabusa with the 800 Tsubame, letting buyers combine the two robots out of the box. The Black Shinkalion is scheduled for release on June 27, 2026.
