I don't even know how or what that little guy does. If it's all in Japanese I'll be lost. Don't worry I'll do a review so we can build off of things from there.
It seems you can just scan any old random QR code and it unlocks some of the hidden Zyliners. The others have the codes on the box flaps.
新幹線変形ロボ シンカリオンZ ダークシンカリオン 9350Y August 7th https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/dp/B097TP9Z9B Blurb: "Dark Shinkalion" from the TV anime "Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion Z " is now available on Plarail! "Dark Shinkansen" is finally transformed! For "Dark Shinkalion"! Equipped with two types of mode change functions in a large volume of 5-car train! ■ Dark Shinkalion / Dark Horse Transformed from 5 Shinkansen cars to "Dark Shinkalion" and horse-shaped robot "Dark Horse"! ■ Dark Shinkalion Centaur Mode Change mode to "Dark Shinkalion Centaur Mode", a robot integrated with humans and horses! ■ Dark Shinkalion Devil Mode Mode change to the large robot "Dark Shinkalion Devil Mode"! further! It is also possible to play in combination with the separately sold Shinkalion Z and Zyliner! * Rails and electric vehicles are not included. Well I am super pleased with this, looks great, lots of modes to play with and out right before my birthday. Perhaps more importantly it's very reassuring as to the future of the line, I was starting to get the nagging doubt that all the Zyliners were going to be very similar. Now we can look forward to some properly mad stuff again.
Dark Shinkalion post updated with better pics. The cheap toys from the leaked listings are up too but they're just non transforming figures with the Z parts that you can swap out.
Thanks for sharing! I can't decide if I actually like Dark Shinkalion or just like that they went so over the top with it I might just pick this up.
It is getting a bit on the pricey side but the way I rationalise it is that each car is roughly equivalent to a deluxe tf lol
Should not have told me this, now I'm going to try and find as many QR codes that I can. Just got the figure today, hopefully, it's fun. That Black Shinkaion... DAMN!
Ya know, Takara has a good history of doing Pegasus/Centaur style figures. I hate to say it though, this might have to be my last Shinkalion purchase. Any idea where I can find a translation of the instructions?
I somehow stopped getting notified for this thread but I had to come over and scream. The train... has a horse. THE TRAIN. HAS A HORSE. I thought I'd be kinda good owning just one figure from the line but... I need that horse.
The horse is a brilliant addition, I look forward to trying out all my favourite generations guys on it.
I'm not going to spam the thread with every minor change but there has been a big price drop on the dark Shinkalion at Amazon. Amazon | プラレール 新幹線変形ロボ シンカリオンZ ダークシンカリオン | ロボット・ソフビ人形 | おもちゃ
