Thank you for your patience! Fans of “Mobile Police Patlabor,” the iconic “AV-98 Ingram” is now confirmed for re-release as a 1/60 scale plastic model! If you don’t grab this, what will you? Are you ready to fully enjoy the charm of the Labor?
This model faithfully reproduces the Ingram’s style as seen in the series. You can choose to assemble either Unit 1 or Unit 2—double the fun of assembly! Plus, since all joints are movable, you can freely recreate those impressive action poses. With a revolver cannon and anti-Labor stun sticks (long and short), the armament is fully equipped. It’s like recreating a scene from the show with your own hands!
What makes this plastic model extraordinary is that it's not just a simple assembly kit. Thanks to four molded colors—white, black, gray, and clear—and pre-painted parts, you can recreate the Ingram’s colors just as imagined. Even without painting skills, simply assembling it will give you an Ingram straight out of the series! Plus, it includes water-transfer decals to recreate markings from the movie, TV version, or REBOOT version, so you can customize it to your preferred version.
The allure of the Ingram lies in its lore as well. Manufactured at Shinohara Heavy Industries' Hachioji factory, the AV-98 Ingram is a high-performance patrol Labor used exclusively by the Second Unit of the Special Vehicles Section 2 of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. With high mobility and versatile design that allows it to move almost like a human, it truly represents the next generation of Labors. Although costly due to Shinohara Heavy Industries' dedication to the latest technology, its performance and track record are outstanding. It’s a true symbol of the police’s authority.
And here’s a fun fact! The “AV” in “AV-98” stands for “Advanced Vehicle.” This model name reflects Shinohara Heavy Industries' pursuit of technical innovation and their respect for professionalism.
With this re-release, it’s the perfect opportunity to experience the charm of the original once again. Utilizing modern plastic model techniques, this kit faithfully recreates the power and detail of the Ingram from the series. Long-time fans and newcomers alike are sure to enjoy it! How about assembling this high-performance Ingram and immersing yourself in its world?
In conclusion, the AV-98 Ingram plastic model is not just a collectible. It’s a rare item where you can recreate the action from the show with your own hands, rediscovering its original charm. Once you hold it, you'll be amazed by its heft and detailed craftsmanship. Why not bring the world of Patlabor to your hands and feel the excitement of that era together?
“So, get yours now and dive into the world of the AV-98 Ingram!””
