If you are wondering what happened to the SHOEI Facebook Page, it got unpublished by the social media platform, the latest in the long line of airsoft pages getting the axe by its algorithm. But don't worry, all things are normal at the company and they announced that their MP40 model gun is now in production:

"Greetings to all our devoted customers.

Thank you so much Always!

Neo035 shows us the features of the SHOEI MKb42 H Model Gun that collectors and reenactors prefer in this video. The Shoei Maschinenkarabiner 42(H) Model Gun is a stunning replica crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Constructed entirely from metal and wood, this full-size model is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing, complete with unique serial numbers and authentic Waffen stamps.

For model gun collectors anxiously waiting for the next production by SHOEI, they are announcing that they will soon start producing the MP40 model gun in this email sent in by Tomio... "We are now planning to begin production of a new product, the MP40 model gun, which has been on the market for several years. However, since this "MP40 model gun" is a new product, it requires more cost, time and effort than reproducing the previous lineup.

A collector's item, Neo035 unboxes Shoei's release that is a museum-quality replica of the WWII German Mkb42(H) machine gun, made of metal with real wood and featuring functional mechanics like disassembly, selectable fire, and working safety. This limited-edition model comes with a unique serial number, magazine, dummy shells, and even a bayonet lug.

Tomio emailed us an update on the SHOEI MKb42(H) Model Gun that production is in full swing and will be completed soon. Collectors waiting for this should place their orders to ensure that they get one as soon as they start shipping... "As I announced the other day, the MKb42 (H) model gun, which is currently in production, will be completed soon. This time, the reservation will be full in about 20 for production.

Master Dallas Airsoft was able to get his hands on the SHOEI MP43, which was released in limited batches to check the work done by the Japanese company in replicating the fine details of this weapon for use by collectors and reenactors. He also does a comparison with the AGM MP43 AEG version to check if AGM copied the SHOEI version.

Good news for collectors, Tomio of SHOEI sent in update that the SHOEI MKb42(H) model gun is back in production... "We have already announced on our website and Facebook, we are currently frantically producing MKb42(H) model guns. We are currently accepting reservations for 104 of the 140-150 produced this time.

If you are interested in this models, please make a reservation first.

Time to save up again for those who collect model and airsoft guns from SHOEI, they announce that they are going to produce the FG42 Type 2 Model Gun next... "We sold out MP43 series soon luckily. Thank you very much for always purchasing!

By the way, we are planning the 'MP40 model gun' for the next new product. This 'MP40' is currently in the process of producing drawings for molds.

For those awaiting the SHOEI MP43 model, Tomio sent us an update and if you have been planning to get one better do so now as there is no guarantee they will produce again in the near future. They included the list of sellers to help you find one... "Greetings to all our devoted customers.

Tomio sent in a correction regarding one of the sellers of SHOEI products and more information regarding the the MP43, MP43/1, and MP44 gun models... "Hi again to all our devoted customers.

I also received some questions and realized that my explanation was lacking.
