We do have big news for you from Tokyo Marui as they took off the covers of their new products at the 53rd Shizuoka Hobby Show which is ongoing right now. It is not only Tokyo Marui who sent in information about their new products by our Japanese readers and some friendly Japanese airsoft bloggers emailed us about this.

It is really best for you to read the full story than just looking at the photos as there are details per product. We also took the chance to use photos from Hyperdouraku and Survival Navigation who were there to take photos and report what was happening at the show for their readers. We suggest also that you click on the links to their pages to read their reports in Japanese, but you can also fire-up online translation tools to read the reports in your own language.
