Why in gods name would you desecrate an 800 Series like that, it's not like there is a Disneyland in Kyushu that it could travel too, the furthest north any JR Kyushu Shinkansen goes is Shin Osaka and that's only for the N700-8000's that they own.

It’s disney! Advertising seeing how much attention the other painted shinkansens have gotten. Just drive disney, disney, disney into everyone's brains! 

 

Soon all trains will go to disneyland!

From Japan Today,  a Disney Shinkansen goes into service May 17 and it is being accompanied by a full scale merchandise push. It is expected to continue to run through at least August.  Tomix? Kato? Financing to pay the Disney licensing fee?

Will the train crew be issued with Mickey Mouse watches?

2x 800s, a 883 and now a 885.
Still don't have the want to buy if Tomix/Kato choose to release them.
