A new batch of sets, classified 12-600 series, were delivered from fiscal 2011. Broadly based on the earlier 4th-batch design (sets 16 to 53), these sets included a number of design improvements.
The 12-600 sets are formed as shown below, with all cars motored.

The 12-600 series fleet details are as shown below.
Two prototype cars, numbered 12-001 and 12-002, were delivered from Tokyu Car Corporation in April 1986. These cars had stainless steel bodies and were originally built with conventional traction motors. The cars were converted to linear motor propulsion in 1987, with testing conducted on a special test track at Magome Depot. Following successful testing, it was announced in December 1988 that linear motor propulsion would be used for the new Toei Ōedo Line (then Line 12) under construction in Tokyo.
The first production trains were delivered as six-car sets from Nippon Sharyo to Hikarigaoka Depot from September 1990 for testing on the line between Hikarigaoka and Nerima before entering revenue service in December 1991.
A total of 424 vehicles were subsequently built by Nippon Sharyo and Hitachi up until 2001, formed as 53 8-car sets. The production trains featured aluminium bodies, and the first six sets were painted.
