Today's release[McDonald's]Happy set of “Shinkalion” and “Rilakkuma”!

Starting today, May 17th (Friday), the Happy Meals “Shinkalion Change the World'' and “Rilakkuma'' will be available at McDonald's stores nationwide. Shinkalion is a combination type and deformed type, and Rilakkuma is a puzzle and case set.

The Shinkalion series is a project created by three companies: JR East Planning, Shogakukan Shueisha Productions, and Takara Tomy. The main content is a giant robot that transforms the Shinkansen. “Shinkalion Change the World (Shinkalion CW)” is the latest TV anime in the “Shinkalion” series. An enemy called “Unknown” that once attacked Japan reappears, and Shinkalion confronts it. CW's Shinkalion has the ability to combine with vehicles other than train-type vehicles.

A total of 6 types of toys appear in the Happy Set “Shinkalion Change the World''.

The first series is three types of toys that can be evolved by combining Shinkalion robots with removable parts, such as Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa.
The second edition includes three toys that allow you to play with running a vehicle in Shinkansen mode, and can also transform from a vehicle into Shinkalion.

Parts from the first series can be exchanged between the first series, and vehicles can be combined with the second series. If you collect multiple pieces, the number of parts that can be combined will increase and the play will expand. By looking closely at the shapes of the parts to be joined and assembling them using their hands and fingers, children can improve their ability to recognize shapes and spaces and think logically about mechanical mechanisms. You can also enjoy “pretend play'' where you imagine the story of Shinkalion by combining parts to evolve it and running the vehicle.

“Rilakkuma” is a character developed by San-X. She suddenly shows up at the house of Kaoru, an office lady, and is a costumed bear who continues to take care of her. She lives peacefully with Korilakkuma, Kiiroitori, and Chiroikoguma.

The Happy Set “Rilakkuma'' is a toy with a cute case designed with Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma, and a puzzle with two types of pictures on the front and back. Rilakkuma's face-shaped and heart-shaped cases can be used not only to store puzzles, but also to store treasures and small items.

The task of completing a puzzle while imagining the “finished picture'' in your head and thinking about the connections between the shapes of the pieces is a form of play that increases awareness of shapes and space and fosters logic in thinking about wholes and parts.

You can also enjoy imagining the story by looking at the pictures on the completed puzzle. Puzzles can be played repeatedly with different patterns on the front and back, so you can enjoy a sense of accomplishment as you shorten the time it takes to complete the puzzle.

Furthermore, by loading the Happy Set “Rilakkuma'' box and toy special pieces on your smartphone, you can also enjoy the original mini-game “Rilakkuma's Swaying Balance Game.'' By collecting multiple toys, you can enjoy more games, so please enjoy it together with puzzles.

In addition, for two days, May 18th (Sat) and 19th (Sun), 2024, for every set of Happy Set “Shinkalion Change the World” purchased, you will receive a “Shinkalion Sparkling Sticker” and one set of Happy Set “Rilakkuma”. With every purchase, you will receive a “Rilakkuma Special Peace Sticker” as a gift.

At the same time, “Honno Happy Set'' will also be replaced with new works, the picture book “Challenge Mikke! Special'', and the mini picture book “Hide and Seek of Creatures with AR Video and Quiz''.

You can load the mini encyclopedia on your smartphone and enjoy it as a video.
