Tokyo Marui Are All Set For The 55th All Japan Model & Hobby Show

September is quite a busy month for Tokyo Marui as they have three big events to take care. The first one was solely their own, holding the 2nd Tokyo Marui Festival in Akihabara early this month. Last week, they were at the Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2015 in cooperation with Capcom for the Biohazard/Resident Evil as they produce the game's airsoft replicas.

For this weekend, Tokyo Marui will be at the 55th All Japan Model & Hobby Show. Scheduled on the 25th to the 27th of September, the first day will be mainly for trade guests with the public able to enter and check out what will be on display on the 26th and 27th. The venue is the Tokyo Big Sight, West Hall 2.

Tokyo Marui, always one of the bigger exhibitors of the show, is expected to have a big display floor for this year. Last year, they had an shooting range for visitors to try out the various products they have and perhaps they might have it this year again. At the 2nd Tokyo Marui Festival, guests had the opportunity to actually hold and fire the upcoming AA-12 AES and they may have a second opportunity again at the All Japan Model & Hobby Show.

The Tokyo Marui AA-12 AES is the most anticipated product from the company this year, with many airsoft players in and out of Japan planning to own this shotgun that shows how the company out innovates competitors. A triple barrel airsoft shotgun, the demo shows it has a good range and accuracy apart from the fact that each of the barrel in the AA-12 AES has its own hop-up unit so the shooter can adjust its different settings for each barrel.

Another anticipated product is the Tokyo Marui M4A1 MWS GBB which the engineering department of the company are taking their time to make it right and may just come out to be a game-changing product when it's ready to be released to the world. Also expected to be released this Fall (or perhaps during the Holiday Season), the M4A1 MWS already go an update with the Zet or "Z-System" that comes with a powerful recoil, blowback, and more durability that is touted to outlast the competition.

If you're in Japan and got time to visit the 55th All Japan Model & Hobby Show, make sure you visit the Tokyo Marui exhibit space. We'll post updates or news here once information comes in from the usual sources.

And if you're one of those who want either the AA-12 AES or the M4A1 MWS Zet, I'd rather suggest you start saving up as you might want of these wrapped in time for Christmas.
