Tokyo Marui has aggressively moved forward with new releases, and right after the recent releases of replicas (Weapon replicas from "Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online II"), it has prepared more products. This time, the classic VSR rifle replica has received a light refresh with new gold accents.
The highlighted elements include the bolt assembly, part of the stock buttplate, the reloading lever, selected screws, QD sockets, the interior of the M-LOK slots on the stock, and the end of the muzzle. The new model is an interesting addition and will certainly look intriguing when paired with another "Gold" replica from Tokyo Marui, the HiCapa Gold Match. Besides the visual changes, no internal modifications have been mentioned.
It does not happen often that one of the more iconic and leading manufacturers releases a non-replica product, but once again Tokyo Marui surprises us. After a short waiting period, the new BB Auto Loader will make its debut. First presented during the ALL JAPAN MODEL & HOBBY SHOW in October 2024 (62nd edition of the ALL JAPAN MODEL & HOBBY SHOW), it definitely caught attention due to several aspects. The loader itself mimics a small-sized ammunition box.
It holds 1600 BBs, is powered by a set of 4 AA batteries, is capable of feeding up to 9 BBs per second, and can load up to 13,000 BBs on a single battery pack. As expected from the masters of detail, the loader includes a set of adapters hidden under a protective cover. It is designed to load both AEG and GBB magazines (both rifle and pistol mags).
Will this be the best friend of any player with multiple magazines? Time will tell.
Both products are scheduled for release on April 18th. The price for the new BB Auto Loader is ￥9800, which is about 67 USD, and the VSR Gold replica is priced at ￥38000, which is about 260 USD.
