The 60th All Japan Model Hobby Show was held from September 30 (Fri.) to October 2 (Sun.), 2022, at Ariake Big Sight, South Halls 1 and 2 in Tokyo.
This was the first time in three years that the show was held, after being canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the Corona disaster. Various hobby manufacturers exhibited a large number of new products at the show, and the three days were a great success.
Akiba Research Institute will introduce some of the items on display, focusing on new products and first-time exhibitors.
In addition to the standard Macross plastic kits, the Hasegawa booth exhibited the "Iron Gear," a land ship from "Battle Mecha Zabungle," which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year!
