I would love to go to something like this, especially for the artist display room. Getting to see that level of work in person must be a real treat. Also, the GaoGaiGar stuff at the Hobby Japan booth is actually a line of diecast figures by a company called Amakuni or Amakunitech. I guess Hobby Japan is doing some distribution on those? Similarly, ThreeZero's stuff is all high-end action figures. They are painted to that level that you saw out of the box, and as a result, are very expensive.

So much cool stuff! I visited the Shizuoka Hobby Show back in 2018, had a great time and even regretted not planning two days for it all. Especially the artist area was amazing, so much stuff you simply won't see over here in Europe, and the skill that is shown is beyond anything I've ever seen. Last year I did plan on going again, but it didn't quite fit my schedule. But I'll definitely go there again in the future. I wonder if there are more events like these in Japan? I usually only find out after those have happened.... As for Shizuoka, you mentioned the Tamiya HQ, have you been there? If not, highly recommended! And same for the Shizuoka Hobby Square right behind Shizuoka Station.

@pixxellie

I’ve heard of zoids! I watched a little of the show, but there are so many mecha series this day that are animal type robots it’s hard to tell if they’re zoids or another series sometimes (like the mechanical fish one I shared in the video)

Structure Arts are not Kotobukiya. They're from Square Enix, it a spin off of their other line that did Front Mission's wanzers. I'm very wary of the line because Square expects a premium for them but they come in the box only molded in plastic gray color, no color parts whatsoever. Also Bandai did have Armored Core model kits. You didn't notice them because they were fully painted. Steel Haze and Nightfall were the two ACs that are model kits under the 30 Minute Mission line as a collaboration between 30MM and AC.

8:12 Zoids....Zoids never dies. Very happy to see Kotobukiya are keeping this IP going. I did a quick skim of Wikipedia but can't figure out why it wasn't Takara-Tomy doing the Zoids models?

Thanks for the coverage ! Your video is excellent. Quick remark on Armored Core 6 stuff from Bandai : - One was the Ayre AC, and it's a Tamashii figure - The other two were model kits representing the main ACs, in the 30 mm line. They look superb but they are on the short side unfortunately, whereas those Kotobukia were huge (around an MS size, or maybe bigger). And also thanks for showing the two new Five Star Stories GTM (Gothic Made) model kits. Before that they only had resin. So that Daccas (the one you are talking about in the beginning) is my most anticipated model kit of the year. Oh by the way, did Wave have no stands ?

Votoms just celebrated the 40th anniversary last year so a lot of those previously announced kits are just now hitting the stores, hence the added publicity. The manufacturer booths are nice, but the main attraction is really the modeler club tables in the other hall. Clubs from all over Japan (and also a few from other countries) show off their builds just for the fun of it without any contests or judging to get in the way and the level of builds on display is always amazing.
