REVOLTECH UPDATE (DEC'07-JAN'08 Release) : Mobile Police PATLABOR!! Tetsujin & Ayanami Rei

For the coming month of December 2007 and January 2008, we can anticipate a frenzy release of "Mobile Police Patlabor".

In the coming December 2007, the sideshows of Mobile Police Patlabor, Revoltech No.040 ARL-99 HELLDIVER, Revoltech No.041 Type-7 BROCKEN and Revoltech No.041fs Type-7 BROCKEN OVA ver. It seems to me that the 'Friendly Shop (fs)' version of BROCKEN is nothing different from the regular version except for the color. The accessories are iron rod, 2 pair of hands and stand, which I think is miserable! Hence, I would only get one of this then, but which? I am more game towards the Red or fs version! I love RED!

In January 2008, the hype for "Mobile Police Patlabor" continues with the release of Revoltech No.042 AV-98 INGRAM1 (Movie Ver.), Revoltech No.042fs AV-98 INGRAM2 (Movie Ver.) and Revoltech No.043 Tetsujin 28. You must be asking what the hell is Kaiyodo up to, taking a similar footstep as Bandai, by re-releasing existing figures that have undergone subtle changes. There is already existing Revoltech No.010 INGRAM1 and Revoltech No.014 INGRAM2. So what are the differences? Read on to find out.

Revoltech No.042 AV-98 INGRAM1 (Movie Ver.)
The Revoltech No.042 AV-98 INGRAM1 (Movie Ver.) differs from the Revoltech No.010 AV-98 INGRAM1, apart from the slight difference in the chest, the leg can open up to a gun compartment, to accomodate a more comprehensive arsenal of weapons. The weapons include 2 pistols, revolver, shotgun (which can be charged!) and baton (which is retractable!). Other accessories include stand, antenna, head and 6 pairs change of hands. I have no idea about the small black piece beside the pistols (as shown in iamge below)



Revoltech No.042fs AV-98 INGRAM2 (Movie Ver.)
The accessories of INGRAM2 (Movie Ver.) is exactly like INGRAM1 (Movie Ver.) except without the spare head change. The head is slightly different from the earlier Revoltech No.014 AV-98 INGRAM2. Still a must have for a Patlabor series collector!


Revoltech No.043 Tetsujin 28
Tetsujin 28 is comes with stand, 2 pairs change of hands, a head with fiery eyes, broken arm and 2 booster flames.


Not to forget the much awaited Revoltech FRAULEIN series, with Ayanami Rei from "Neon Genesis Evangelion" taking the lead!
