Takara Tomy announced a first collaboration between the hero anime and toy series 'Tokusou Gattai Robo Jobraver' and Japan Airlines (JAL), producing the 'Tomica Jobraver TJBDX DX Skybraver JAL Jet Airliner.' The transformable robot toy, inspired by JAL's 'Tsuru Maru' logo mark, combines the 'JAL Jet Airliner' armor vehicle with three Jobloids (a pilot and male and female cabin attendants in JAL uniforms) into a robot approximately 40 cm tall, the largest in the series. It includes collaboration-exclusive gimmicks such as the 'Kokuhitto' weapon that transforms from a suitcase and the 'Container Shield Q9-C49' shield, plus a container-launching mechanism. Priced at 9,350 yen including tax, it is scheduled for release in early October 2026, with pre-orders opening August 27 on Takara Tomy Mall and JAL Shopping JAL Mall Store. The toy will also appear in three consecutive episodes of the streaming anime from October to December, and a special collaboration video filmed inside a JAL hangar is set to release on the Takara Tomy Channel from August 26. The collaboration was realized through the shared intent of Takara Tomy, JAL, and JALUX to convey the appeal of passenger planes through Jobraver.
The collaboration marks the first time the Jobraver line has worked with an airline, and the design leans into JAL's identity. The robot's head is modeled after a crane, while the large back wings and vertical tail fin form the "Tsuru Maru" logo mark. The three Jobloids reproduce actual JAL uniforms: cabin attendants wear charcoal gray with red-accented neckties and scarves, and the pilot has four gold lines on the sleeves.
Beyond the suitcase-to-"Kokuhitto" weapon and "Container Shield Q9-C49," the toy launches containers from the aircraft. The container sits inside the plane, and pressing a top button ejects it from the bottom. Other Jobraver Armor Vehicles and Tomica mini cars can also be used with the launch play. The "Jobraver HEADLINE" product introduction video series, filmed inside the JAL hangar, introduces the toy against a real aviation industry backdrop.
The streaming anime began March 7, 2026, runs 13 episodes of about 5 minutes each, and has exceeded 50 million total web views, with the toy series passing 1.5 million cumulative shipments as of the end of March 2026. The three-episode appearance runs from October to December as the story heads toward its climax. JAL was founded in 1951 and, as of March 2026, operates 234 aircraft with a network to 413 airports in 71 countries through partner airlines. JALUX is the JAL Group trading company involved in the collaboration.
