Takara Tomy is expanding the Plarail SGX toy line with new Shinkalion figures, including the Black Shinkalion and the Shinkalion 500 Kodama, both available for pre-order.
Takara Tomy has released two new additions to the Plarail SGX series based on the Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion anime. The Black Shinkalion, an antagonist robot, was announced first in June 2026. It comes as a three-car formation with weapons and can transform into a dragon and Berserker Mode. A separate 800 Tsubame figure and a Link Combination Set that pairs E5 Hayabusa with 800 Tsubame were also made available at the same time.
In late June 2026, Takara Tomy opened pre-orders for the Shinkalion 500 Kodama. This toy transforms from a four-car train into a robot and can combine with other separately sold SGX products into a five-car formation. The cross-combination gimmick encourages owners to collect multiple units for a longer train mode. The Shinkalion 500 Kodama is priced at 8,800 yen and ships August 8, 2026.
Both releases expand the SGX toy line with new characters and combination features, giving collectors more options for building longer train formations. The Black Shinkalion and the Link Combination Set offer entry points for combining core Shinkalions, while the Shinkalion 500 Kodama adds a new cross-combination mechanic.
