Tōbu 50050? ;)

 

I'll be in anticipation for it on 'our local' Den'entoshi line! :D

Whoops, you're right! I wasn't paying attention when posting this. I mixed up the characters for east and west and both Seibu and Tobu have a last character pronounced as 'bu' in their names. I already thought something was wrong... :P

I thought the Shin-Chan outfit was pretty scary.... since Shin-chan is supposed to be a short kid with a large head...

According to this article, Tobu will not be doing just one Crayon Shin-chan wrapping train, but five! There will be an orange, a yellow, a red, a blue and a green Crayon Shin-Chan train. The five trains will be introduced in stages, with the last one being put into service on 20 December this year.

I'm eyeballing for Greenmax in this regard. They already produced the Tobu 50050 series, plus it's a 10-car only train, which is a bit out of the field of interest of Tomytec. The largest sets they've released so far are six-cars, whereas Greenmax does eight car sets (not sure at the moment if Greenmax ever released a full ten-car set).
