Twelve O'clock T-026 Lin Chong Armoured Edition: 1/6 Water Margin Hero

Lin Chong (林冲), the Panther Head of Liangshan’s Five Tiger Generals, is one of the Water Margin (水浒传) — and Twelve O’clock has now given him the full armoured treatment. The Hero Series T-026 dresses the exiled instructor in a complete suit of armour, following the studio’s Wu Song (T-014A) in the same Hero Series line. An armoured Lin Chong was among the Water Margin figures Twelve O’clock showed at WF2026 Shanghai, and this is the pre-order version of that figure.

The package

The figure comes with two interchangeable head sculpts — a calm, planted-beard head and an angry head — so collectors can stage either the composed general or the wrathful exile. Four hand pairs support grip and gesture poses on the included movable body.

The accessories lean into the general’s battlefield kit: a knife, the long Zhangba snake spear (丈八蛇矛, his signature weapon), a gourd, and the wide-brimmed Fanyang hat (范阳笠) for the road-worn look. The full armour set covers helmet, chest, shoulder, skirt, arm and leg armour plus boots, worn over a padded garment, black trousers, shirt, long robe, cloak, red waist belt and waist seal. A display stand is included for stable shelf poses.

This T-026 is a different product from the older Treasure Toys Japan T-05/T-06 Lin Chong — a separate release, not a reissue of it.

Price and cutoff — read carefully

Domestic pre-orders carry two reference prices depending on the source: ¥1,520 on the 拆盒 listing and ¥1,620 on the bbicn homepage list. The cutoff needs the same careful read: the 拆盒 page header lists 25 November 2026, while its own body text says 30 November 2026; bbicn lists 25 November. Check before paying, as the window may run past the earlier date. Estimated arrival is 2027 Q2 (the 拆盒 header says June 2027). No overseas retailer listing had appeared at the time of writing, so overseas pricing and cutoffs are not yet available.
