Mobile Police Patlabor

Patlabor (a portmanteau of "patrol" and "labor") refers to Mobile Police Patlabor (機動警察パトレイバー, Kidō keisatsu patoreibā) a manga franchise created by Masami Yūki.

The popular franchise was adapted into a TV series, two OVA series, three feature length movies, and a short film compilation, named Minipato (ミニパト) because of its SD drawing style. These adaptations have been adapted into video games and licensed products from OST to toys. Patlabor is known for using mecha - designed by Yutaka Izubuchi - not just for police or military purposes, but also for industrial and municipal jobs. (Wikipedia)

Review: Asuka-SSL96 Taisyo (Construction Labor Version)

In the Patlabor series, the Asuka-SSL96 Taisyo is the civilian model of the Asuka MPL96 Taisyo Police labor. This labor is used in construction and other non-police duties.

In the Patlabor series, the ASUKA-MPL96 Taisyo Police Labor was the standard police labor used by the Tokyo Police Department before the introduction of the AV-98 Ingram labors.


Review: Revoltech Brocken (OVA Version)

The Brocken Labor is bigger and tougher than the Ingram, the main mecha in Patlabor, and this is reflected in the design of the Revoltech toy. It is only because of ace pilot Noa Izumi’s skill that the Brocken labor is able to be defeated.


Review: Revoltech Brocken (TV Version)

The Revoltech release of the Brocken has over 40 points of articulation.


Review: Revoltech Helldiver

The Helldiver is one of the supplementary mecha from the series Mobile Police Patlabor. The Helldiver is an airborne military operations labor. In short, it’s a big-ass robot that jumps put of planes.


Review: Brave Gokin Type-J9 Griffon (Flight Unit Version)

The Ingram 1, nicknamed "Alphonse" is piloted by the tenacious Noa Izumi. Noa is the top Labor pilot of Section 2, Division 2. Noa named her labor "Alphonse" after a dog and a cat she had when she was growing up.


Review: Revoltech Type J-9 Griffon

While all the Ingram Labors are cool, if you’ve ever watched the entire Patlabor series, the one thing you take away from it is: WHY IS THERE NO GRIFFON TOY?

Well, your prayers have been answered.
