A portmanteau of 'patrol' and 'labor', Patlabor is a highly successful Japanese science fiction media franchise that's been running since the late eighties; Aoshima's precision model kits recreate icons from both manga and movies!
AV-98 Ingram Unit 1 - also known as Alphonse - is the Patlabor of Noa Izumi, one of the franchise's key characters.
The proportions and design of the various parts have been brushed up to match the latest version of Ingram under the supervision of the designer, Yutaka Izubuchi.
The sealing covers that characterize the Patlabor are made of plastic parts with a realistic design, and combined with the built-in joints, you can enjoy recreating various scenes from the play. The leg hatches and cockpit hatch can be deployed without replacement, and the cockpit seat can be raised and lowered to allow the pilot, Noa Izumi, to be positioned in a seated position.
In addition to the revolver canon and stun stick, five different wrist parts are included. The figure is also made to 1/43 scale, which is the international standard for miniature cars, and can be easily combined with your existing models.
