Protect Gear (also known as General Zatola)," is based on a Japanese live action movie knows as "the Red Spectacles" from the Kereberos saga directed by Mamoru Oshii, co-written with Kazunori Ito, and starring Shigeru Chiba. The live action films and manga series take place in the then-future decade of the 1990s and 2000s while Jin-Roh takes place in the 1950s. The opening narration to Jin-Roh explains that Japan lost the Second World War, not to the Americans, but to the Germans, who occupied the archipelago for at least a decade. The figure is 5-6" tall and has 37 articulation points with 10 joint parts. "Revoltech Protect Gear" comes equipped with interchangeable accessories and parts (1 MG34, 1 MG42, 1 Mauser C96 storage, 1 Mauser C96, 1 antenna for bag pack, 4 optional hands, 1 ammunition belt and 1 display base).
