超合金魂 GX-115 新幹線變形機器人 E5 隼號（Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa）是高端收藏玩具，隸屬BANDAI著名的「超合金魂」系列，以人氣動畫《新幹線變形機器人》為原型，將實際運行的日本新幹線列車設計成高度還原的變形機器人角色。該系列自2015年起作為跨媒體IP推出，結合科幻動畫中經典的變形機器人概念與真實列車造型，並在JR東日本的監修下確保車輛細節的真實性。

以日本高速列車「E5系はやぶさ」為藍本，完美重現新幹線模式與動畫中「Shinkalion模式」的比例。玩具可從列車形態轉變為機器人形態，先頭車化為上半身，後尾車化為下半身，整體造型貼近3D動畫影像，兼具觀賞性與收藏價值。列車模式採用金屬感十足的「ときわ綠」塗裝，甚至將小型零件都精細塗裝完成，呈現出列車的真實光澤。專用底座設計模擬新幹線超進化研究所的月台，既可展示兩節車廂，也方便展示變形後的機器人姿態。

E5隼號的變形機構細膩精密，車輛之間可進行兩種連結方式，重現動畫中「前端開蓋連結」的場景。列車外裝使用硬質ABS材質，兼顧列車模式的俐落外觀與機器人模式的重疊裝甲效果，搭配背部翼件及可調角度的腿部側裝甲，讓動態造型更加靈活。可動手部全部為可動指設計，握拳與張開手皆可呈現，搭配「カイサツソード」武器的凸凹結合設計，可穩固持握。

整體可動性極佳，頭部可左右旋轉並微微仰視，腰部可扭轉，肩肘膝皆可超過90度彎曲，台座與支柱組合還可實現懸空姿態。胸部連結部位可開啟，方便擺出動畫中「グランクロス」發射或膝立姿勢等必殺技動作，關節使用高品質的金屬材質，既堅固又可自由擺姿。套件內容包括E5系新幹線先頭車與後尾車、カイサツソード、兩片翼件及專用台座。產品全高約260mm（Shinkalion模式），材質採用ABS與合金，兼顧重量感與耐久性。

市場上，GX-115 E5隼號受到收藏家與動畫迷高度評價，讚揚其對動畫影像的精準還原、無多餘零件的完整變形設計，以及超合金魂系列一貫的高品質金屬手感。其精密細節、可動範圍及完整配件，使其成為《新幹線變形機器人》系列粉絲及機器人模型愛好者的必收藏精品。

Soul of Chogokin GX-115 Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa is a premium collectible transforming robot figure from Bandai’s renowned Soul of Chogokin line. Inspired by the popular multimedia franchise Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion, this figure transforms the real-life Japanese high-speed train, the E5 Hayabusa, into a fully articulated robot. The original IP, launched in 2015, combines the pride of Japan’s Shinkansen technology with the classic sci-fi concept of transforming robots, with supervision from JR East to ensure accuracy. Takara Tomy and Shogakukan also collaborated to refine the transformation mechanisms, allowing for consistent adaptation in both the anime and toy versions.

The GX-115 E5 Hayabusa faithfully reproduces both the train mode and the robot mode as seen in the anime, with the front car transforming into the upper body and the rear car forming the lower body. The proportions closely match the 3D animation, capturing both display and collector appeal. The Shinkansen mode features a metallic “Tokiwa Green” paint scheme with even the smallest parts painted, enhancing realism. The dedicated base is modeled after the Shinkansen Hyper-Evolution Research Lab platform, allowing for display of the train cars or the fully transformed Shinkalion robot.

The figure’s transformation system is intricate and precise. The train cars can connect in two different configurations, recreating the opening-front-cap sequence from the anime. The ABS body panels maintain a sleek look in train mode while layering perfectly for the robot mode’s armor design. Adjustable back wings and side leg armor allow for dynamic poses, while fully articulated hands can hold weapons such as the Kaisu Sword securely.

The figure boasts excellent articulation: the head rotates and tilts slightly upward, the waist twists, and the shoulders, elbows, and knees can bend beyond 90 degrees. Combined with the base and support rod, the figure can be posed mid-air. The chest panel opens to replicate the “Gran Cross” attack or kneeling sword stances, with die-cast joints providing both stability and flexibility.

The set includes the E5 Hayabusa front car, rear car, Kaisu Sword, two wing parts, and a dedicated display base. Standing approximately 260mm in Shinkalion mode and constructed from ABS and die-cast metal, the figure combines heft, durability, and premium tactile quality.

Collectors and fans of Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion have praised the GX-115 E5 Hayabusa for its faithful adaptation of the anime’s visuals, fully functional transformation without extra parts, and the high-quality metallic feel typical of the Soul of Chogokin line. Its attention to detail, extensive articulation, and complete accessory set make it a must-have centerpiece for both anime enthusiasts and robot model collectors.
