The Plarail SGX series adds a new Shinkansen-based robot from the long-running children's anime. The Shinkalion 500 Kodama arrives as a four-car train set that converts into a humanoid robot with an improved range of motion. Its main selling point is a cross-combination function: owners who already have other SGX products can attach them to form a five-car train. The set includes four Shingou Spear accessories, a label sheet, and a headgear piece. Takara Tomy lists the toy for 8,800 yen on Amazon Japan with a release date of August 8, 2026.
