Doyusha

The most popular items at the Doyusha booth this year were "Phi Bird" and "Dougram," both of which will be re-released.

The official Doyusha account on Twitter was looking for someone who had a plastic model of the "Armed Combination Phi Bird" that was once released, and to their surprise, they found someone who had kept it in a clean condition as it was at the time. This is an episode. It is a miracle that this happened in this day and age!

On the other hand, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the "Dougram" TV anime, a collector's box containing 10 1/144 scale kits that were released at the time of the broadcast will be released!

And from the "Transformers Bumblebee" series developed by Chinese manufacturer Trumpeter, Blitzwing will be released as the second series!

The first Bumblebee was well received, so expectations are high!

In addition, the new Chinese manufacturer "NUKE MATRIX" has released "F.O.X.", the first model from their new movable plastic model series "FANTASY GIRLS"!

It will be interesting to see what the future holds.
