jenius Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Did I see that ThreeZero is reissuing their Unit 1? BBTS has it up for preorder with the unit 2/3. Quote

It was criminal of Bandai to drop their 1/35 Patlabor line before making the Zero. You can always try tracking down some of Kaiyodo's old 1/35 vinyl kits, which can still be found for decent prices on Y! Auctions Japan. No articulation though. B-Clubs old 1/35 vinyl kits have some limited articulation, but are harder to find. You can see some of those kits in this picture of my stash: Quote

Duymon Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 I ordered 3x Helldivers from Amazon Japan, they should arrive by Monday Really really really hope we get the Phantom , AV-98 Economy , AL-97 Atlas / AT-97B Hannibal Quote
Big s Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 There’s definitely a lot of designs I would love to see. I hope they can keep it up Quote
dyowelb Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 For some reason, I love the design of AV-98T Dolphin. I wonder why? Quote
Duymon Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) I snapped up my 1st of 3 helldivers. This is how it looks straight out of the box. The helldiver comes with prepainted head and foot parts in that military blue-ish gray, as well as pre-painted crotch for the orange / silver. You get two heads so can switch freely between commander and trooper. It comes with 3 visors, 1 painted in blue, 1 in orange and 1 clear for customizers. The plastic is softer than typical bandai fair so nub marks are easier to get rid of, but on the flip side the plastic very easily shows stress marks. the brown parts are very poly-cap-like plastic. The Fit of the parts is pretty good except for the inner thighs that will require some gluing and clamping to really get rid of the unisightly gaps. I was really impressed that the kit has full-color instructions but funny enough they're only in Japanese which while not a problem for me could be for others that can't read. Maybe the US-version will have english instructions? Anywho, Helldiver doesn't look too out of place next to the Side-Labor toys. The moderoid Ingram is pretty much 1:1 size of the Bandai Side labor Ingram so it'd look the same either way I guess. Can't wait to see what they bring out next Edited March 30, 2021 by Duymon Quote

Big s Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 I like the opening cockpit. I didn’t see a pilot figure in the teaser, but maybe I missed it. Quote

uzernaem Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) People praise Patlabor films for being clever Mamoru Oshii drama/political/techothrillers but I would also like to praise Patlabor TV series as the best lighthearted mecha monster-of-the-week show of that period. It's that good. Edited May 18, 2021 by uzernaem Quote

F-ZeroOne Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Patlabor on TV is probably the best written anime series I've ever seen (with "Planetes" a close second). It says something about the quality that even the recap episode is worth watching. And its always amused me that its just about the only anime I know of that when they finally got around to doing a hot springs episode (one of the "extra" OVA episodes, IIRC?) it focused on the male characters...

Axelay Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 I continue to pray (and even plead) for news on EZY... I needs mah Patlabor fix. Quote
Chet Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 For anyone who has the Yamato 1/24 Patlabor Ingrams, have the cloth joint coverings on your begun to disintegrate? The fabric on mine appears to be "flaking" off, for lack of a better term. The figure has just been stored out of the package but in a plastic tub all this time. Rarely moved or posed it at all. Is this happening to anyone else's toy? Quote

Salamander Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Is there anything in those books that isn't in the Patlabor Perfect Establishment Data books? Quote
kajnrig Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 FYI, in case you were looking for old-school Patlabor kits, it seems Bandai may have done a re-pop (or HLJ found stock somewhere???). I was just charged for the MG Ingram 1 and 3, as well as the 1/60 Helldiver, and HLJ have a bunch of the others currently listed as In Stock. https://www.hlj.com/search/?q=*&productFilter=series%3APatlabor Quote
Big s Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 A few other sites had them up for preorder a couple weeks ago as well Quote
MechTech Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Hey guys, Are there any lineart drawings out there of the Patlabor military cargo transport jet from the original movie? Or are there are any other versions from the TV series? (Which I haven't watched yet). Other than the opening sequence footage for the movie, I haven't seen a thing anywhere on the internet for it. I'm thinking of building it from another kit with a Helldiver being deployed out the back. Thank for for your help in advance! - MT Quote

Unfortunately only threequarter front and rear drawings, no side or top/bottom views, and the art is shown pretty small in the book. Quote
MechTech Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Thanks, Salamander! Unfortunately I don't have that book. - MT Quote
