(The name of the line litteraly means "robot way/path" and is probably a pun based on the japanese pronunciation of the word "robot" : robo-to which sounds pretty close.) New line of robots from Threezero. We already talked a little about it in the Patlabor thread but since they just revealed non Patlabor figures, I guess it's time to give this upcoming line its own thread. It seems to me that the goal of this line is to try to find some kind of sweet spot between higher end figures like SOCs and more playable but more "toyish" figures like the Robot Damashiis. The first figure of the line, the Patlabor Ingram 1 Movie ver., about 23cm tall (about the same size as the old Bandai 1/35 MG plamos), is set to release in 2020 Q2 for 129 USD. It'll use plastic, metal and fabric, and feature almost 50 POA, lots of gimmicks (opening cockpit, opening shoulder lights, light up features, extensible right wirst and opening right calf for gun storage/gun drawing action) and accessories (gun, extended and retracted stun baton (storable under the shield), shotgun, face guard head, various hands, stand and a small Noa Izumi figure). The Movie ver. Ingram 2 and 3 will probably be the next in the line and they just revealed prototypes for TV version of the Eva 1 and 2.
Wow, these look pretty sharp. I'm personally not a huge fan of either Patlabor or Evangelion but the sculpting look fantastic on them.
I didn't know about that video, thank you for posting it. It's pretty weird to see it boxed with plastic tray and everything so far away from the release date (unless they release it early of course).
For the price and size things are looking pretty good for the ingram. As long as it's a sturdy piece, I'll probably pick one up. I sold my Yamato 1/24 one years ago and I would like to scratch that Patlabor itch in my collection.
Can't wait for these. ThreeZero has really been killing it. Hope they do an 1:18 version like with the Titanfall and Scopedog figures.
I assume this is just a review sample but how is it? Worth the asked price in your opinion? Is there anything significally better/worse than on the RD?
Review will be up soon. I don't collect Robot Damashiis so there won't be a comparison or opinion in that regard however I will try to go over the figure thoroughly enough for people to formulate their own comparisons via information provided.
Toyark has a review and some pretty good pictures of an early copy. Looks very promising. I'm down, especially if they ever plan to do the J9 Griffon. I'd buy the hell out of that.
This should definitely satisfy my need for a good Ingram toy. I hope this does well for them and they make a good type Zero from the first movie.
