Shinkansen and conventional trains join forces to fight! Transformable Combination System "Z Combination


The "Plarail Shinkarion" series is a toy that can be transformed from Shinkansen mode (train) to Shinkarion mode (robot).

The new "Z Combine" system that appears in "Shinkansen Transformable Robot Shinkarion Z" is a new transformation and combination system in which a familiar "conventional train" is combined with a "Shinkansen" that you have always wanted to ride. The transforming conventional train is called "Zyliner" in the work, and the Shinkansen is greatly enhanced by "Z-formation" with the conventional train.

The Zyliner (one car) transforms into arm and leg parts.
The "Shinkarion Z E5 Hayabusa" can be combined with the "Zyliner E235 Yamanote" by replacing the arms with those of the "Zyliner E5 Yamanote" to power up the arms and become the "Shinkarion Z E5 Yamanote".

The figure's range of motion and proportions have been improved, making it more faithful to the anime!

Improvements have been made to the design of the body, allowing for proportions and posing that are closer to the anime than the "DXS" (Deluxe Shinkarion Series) released up to 2020.


The appearance has been made closer to the design of the TV anime, and the joints have been improved to allow for more detailed pose adjustment.
Ball joints have been incorporated in the ankles to increase stability when moving the figure.


Three types of "Shinkarion Z" will be released sequentially starting in April 2021!


In April, "Shinkarion Z E5 Hayabusa," "Shinkarion Z E6 Komachi," and "Shinkarion Z E7 Kagayaki" will be released sequentially. Each of them can be combined with a "Z Combine" with a "Zyliner".


The arms and legs have been replaced with "Z-Liners" to form the "Z Combined" figure.
From left to right: "Shinkarion Z E7 Azusa," "Shinkarion Z E5 Yamanote," and "Shinkarion Z E6 Nex
