- Tokyo Marui (know as TM to most), is a high quality Japanese airsoft and were one of the very first companies to release an Airsoft Electric Gun, or an AEG. Since their first attempts they have gone from strength to strength and are still one of the most popular and reliable airsoft weapon manufacturers in the world.

The possible parts range from piston-heads, for a gearbox, to high-flow valves, for their few gas-powered pistols.

The company was also at the forefront of the developing radio control hobby in the mid-1980's with a line of high-quality 1/10-scale electric buggies, monster trucks and even an unusual NASCAR stocker, all in kit form. This kit of the Coors Melling Ford Thunderbird was built on a four-wheel-drive buggy chassis; full-scale NASCAR racers are rear-wheel-drive. The body could be raised or lowered for either onroad or offroad use and two full sets of wheels and tires were included, pre-mounted sponge slick tires for onroad and knobby spiked rubber tires for offroad. The Big Bear Datsun, a 1/12-scale monster truck topped with a Datsun pickup truck body, powered by a Mabuchi RS-380 motor and initially sold via mail order, was one of the best-selling radio controlled models of the period and contributed greatly to the hobby's growth. Scale variations on the simple and strong Big Bear chassis included both regular and "Super Wheelie" versions of the Jeep CJ-7 Golden Eagle and Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser, each lacking the oversized wheels and tires of the Big Bear and equipped instead with more scale-looking Goodyear offroad tires. A proposed third version which would have been Marui's ninth release was that of a Mitsubishi Pajero, shelved due to licensing problems. Twelve models were released in all, numbered 1 through 13 since the aforementioned ninth model never made it to market. Strong competition by the end of the decade, especially from Tamiya, caused Marui to pull out of the hobby-grade R/C market. They returned to the R/C market in 2000 with a still-popular line of ready-to-run, 1/24-scale military tanks.
- Tokyo Marui (know as TM to most), is a high quality Japanese airsoft and were one of the very first companies to release an Airsoft Electric Gun, or an AEG. Since their first attempts they have gone from strength to strength and are still one of the most popular and reliable airsoft weapon manufacturers in the world. Their range of replicas now covers most of the worlds infantry weapons from the venerable M14 through the armalite series (M16, M4, etc) to the FAMAS, P90 and G36. They also make a wide variety of shotguns, pistols and underslung grenade launchers and accessory parts. The average FPS rating is lower than normal at 270-290 due to Japanese law regarding airsoft, and the average cost of one is $240-$280. These may also be upgraded to shoot at higher FPS than the stock versions, but this can be very expensive. The possible parts range from piston-heads, for a gearbox, to high-flow valves, for their few gas-powered pistols.
