Following the first installment, the "Crayon Shin-chan Custom Trike (tentative translation, クレヨンしんちゃん おバカスタムビークル)" series, released by Japan's BANDAI toy company and based on the popular anime "Crayon Shin-chan" with elements of reassembly and play, will launch its Kasukabe Defense Force-themed second and third installments on December 7, 2024! This article will provide information on the "second installment."
This series focuses on assembling Crayon Shin-chan characters riding trikes with various vehicles to create diverse appearances. It's a customizable vehicle series that becomes more fun the more you collect, allowing you to experience the world of "Crayon Shin-chan" through uniquely shaped vehicles while collecting the characters. Any toy bearing the name おバカスタムビークル can be combined. The Kasukabe Defense Force Series ①, debuting in early December, features three characters: "Shin-chan," "Nene-chan," and "Masao-kun." In their mini 5 cm size, they display lively expressions and imaginative vehicles, each with different effects as their wheels begin to turn!

First up, Shinnosuke's vehicle is a pink cat-shaped Futaba Kindergarten bus! As it moves forward, the smoke at the back of the school bus, resembling a farty cloud, moves back and forth, which is super fun. Shin-chan's trike color scheme is reminiscent of the cool Kantam Robot.

Next, Nene-chan's customizable vehicle is surprisingly a car transformed from that rabbit plushie imbued with so much resentment! Its driving safety is certainly not guaranteed!? As it moves forward, the rabbit's facial expression changes, which is incredibly interesting!

Finally, there's Masao-kun, with a smug, supremely confident expression. His purple motorcycle features a wig on top, allowing him to fulfill his biker gang fantasies, and it moves as the vehicle advances—a truly ingenious design!
