From the Brave Series, prototypes of Great Burngarn and Great Dagaan GX will be on display.

At this point, it seems like any mecha character could be commercialized as a modeloid.

What an amazing lineup.

While you might think that Plamatea is a plastic model series featuring beautiful girls, it also features Guts.

Macross series.
The Fire Valkyrie is particularly eye-catching.

The HJ version of Blasty reproduces its unique silhouette.

Plamax also has an amazing lineup!

Bathing in water has been around for a while.

Radio-controlled cars and model trains are also available.

The show focused on character models, but there were also displays of radio-controlled cars, model trains, and model guns, making it an event that can be enjoyed by people other than plastic model fans.
