His portfolio includes work on titles such as "DOOM," "Quake," "Transformers," and "Warhammer 40,000." This particularly awesome sci-fi design is a six-legged mech looks like it's going to be fun for sci-fi fans, with lots of detail in the sculpt. We're excited for it, and it's still available now!
PLAMAX AAA Wunder (Rebuild of Evangelion)
This particularly iconic ship from the Rebuild of Evangelion series just got an awesome kit from PLAMAX! It was on display in all its glory on the show floor. This kit only just released, but it's still available at HLJ com. It's a must-have for fans of Evangelion's elaborate mechanical design.
ARTPLA SCULPTURE WORKS MECHAGODZILLA Re:IMAGINATION
I've already gotten to experience the joy of several of the ARTPLA SCULPTURE WORKS Godzilla kits throughout their releases over the last few months, but this upcoming version of the iconic MechaGodzilla looks to be another smash hit! With a brilliant sense of scale, an awesome pose and so much potential for creating texture in the paint, this is one I'm really looking forward to.
PLAMAX BP-03 Sophia F. Shirring: Vampire Ver. (Bunny Suit Planning)
Sophia F. Shirring is a character that feels like she has lived mostly in different types of model kits, and this incredible Vampire Ver. is one we still have available! This delightful kit was on display at the show, and is still ready to purchase at HLJ right now.
MODEROID Go-Saurer (Nekketsu Saikyou Go-Saurer)
Who remembers Go-Saurer? I do. But even if you don't, I think this upcoming MODEROID kit has a fun retro vibe that could appeal to any mecha modeler. It had a particularly striking appearance on the show floor, so we're thoroughly anticipating it!
Creature From The Black Lagoon (Moebius models)
As a huge fan of 'Gillman' from the movie 'Creature From the Black Lagoon,' this awesome model kit from Moebius is a really exciting addition to their line up of kits based on classic universal studios monsters. The display model on the show floor was painted amazingly, bringing out all the details in the design!
Our Top 3 Most Anticipated: Aoshima
This year at the All Japan Hobby Show, Aoshima had a variety of other models that we're really excited for on display!
Few cars in cinema are as iconic as the the time machine 'DMC DeLorean' from Back to Future! This awesome upcoming kit from Aoshima is probably the most detailed kit we've ever gotten of this legendary vehicle, and maybe the best kit of it we'll ever see - it's still available for preorder, but it releases soon!

A somewhat unique proposition from Aoshima, this upcoming EVA Racing bike model is based on the legendary racing bike Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R and styled after the iconic green and purple color scheme of the Unit 1 from Neon Genesis Evangelion. If you're a fan of the classic anime AND motorbikes, maybe this will be the perfect kit for you?

I couldn't learn much about this new Mega Man 'Force Armor' release from DECOCTION MODELS, but the prototype sculpt on display was very impressive. It's much larger than other MegaMan releases from Kotobukiya. Like, a LOT larger!

Kotobukiya's complete RPZ Zoids kits are always magnificent, but this in-development kit features a mechanical beast with shiny golden wings that are actually molded in a metallic plastic, which give it an added sense of majesty.
