Pat (Airsoft Hawaii) has sent over some more shots from Echigoya shop in Japan courtesy of Shane. The Star/Guarder M14 SOPMOD is on display advertised as being available sometime in May, most likely to be released at either Black Hole or the Shizuoka Hobby Convention. According to Shane:

The gun is made mostly of a heavy weight plastic and some
metal parts like the outer barrel and upper reciever which really gives it
a good weight. It also comes in semi and full-auto. Cost of it is
estimated to be around 130,000-140,000yen. Shane
