We're here to bring all you collectors the latest on the incredible exhibits and exclusive items from the show floor.

The event not only features the first-ever display in Taiwan of new products from popular series like One Piece, Naruto, Kaiju No. 8, Demon Slayer, Mobile Suit Gundam, Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and more, but also the global debut of the completed Chogokin "Going Merry ONE PIECE Anime 25th Anniversary Memorial edition" and the Soul of Chogokin "GX-113 Saikyo Kido Gundam Tryon 3"! The Chogokin 50th Anniversary zone is equally thrilling, featuring the spectacular debut of the "CHOGOKIN ROBO 50" transforming robot, which has been a hot topic since its reveal. This piece, a true milestone for the Chogokin line, is an absolute must-see in person.
