It has been announced that a figure of AV-98Plus Ingram (Ingram Plus), who appears in the new anime "Mobile Police Patlabor Mobile Police Patlabor Patlabor", will be released as part of Bandai Spirits' "ROBOT Spirits" series. Details will be announced in the future.
The AV-98 Plus Ingram (Ingram Plus) is an improved version of the Type 98 AV Ingram, which was rolled out in 1998, and is operated by the Special Vehicles Section 2. In addition to performance improvements through tuning of the entire aircraft, basic performance has been greatly improved through updates to the control system software. However, because it has been in active service for approximately 40 years, undergoing repeated improvements and re-maintenance, it is sometimes mocked by police officers at the police box as "junk." The pilot's headgear uses an AR (augmented reality) HUD (head-up display) that projects information directly into the field of vision, allowing the pilot to check necessary information without looking away.
"Mobile Police Patlabor EZY" will consist of eight episodes in three chapters, with episodes 1 to 6 being self-contained anthologies, while episodes 7 and 8 will be a continuous story. Chapter 1 will be released in theaters on May 15th, Chapter 2 on August 14th, and Chapter 3 in March 2027.
