I love the molding of the straps and minute folds and wrinkles. It looks perfectly like real padding on top of real metal. And I bet the EXTL Labor cost a pretty penny, too. Yikes.

1/72 Eagle Kai

Was the STOL/MTD F-15 completed by the time of this animation? Did it inspire the Kai, or was this a case of convergent evolution? Because thee Kai looks a LOT like a combat-ready STOL/.MTD.

Finally, an Ingram to scale with CMs' Patlabor figures! 😍

Kaiyodo's "Mega Sofubi" Reactive Armor Ingram, to be exact.

This is Unit 1...

...the only one I could afford, sadly. 😐

But you know, I had to have at least one. 😎

@tekering That's cool! The detail is pretty good too.

@no3Ljm Thanks for posting! That is AWESOME! I like how the actuators are quiet. The motors don't sound like a garbage disposal running like some projects have had. - MT

Kinda blegh about the AV-98+.

The flat and sharply angled shoulders clash with the classic ingram curves and if they were gonna do away with the two left antennae by making them into a single fin they might as well just have mimicked the Peacemaker / X0 symettrical fin design.

The sharp angular panel lines on the inner calves weren't needed and look out of place.  While the more sporty angular waist armor looks cool they need to add the black police line in the middle like on the original.

Instead of making updates to a classic and perfected design I would rather they went with the AV-2 Variant or a completely new labor outright.

I agree with keeping it original. In art, you should keep symmetry to some degree. Mixing angles with curves can backfire - not always - but it can. It does here. - MT

Figure Production revealed 1/20 scale AV-98 Ingram Unit 1 model during WonderFest 2024 in Shanghai. No word if it's posable, articulated, a kit, or a diecast figure.

It's neither articulated nor posable, that much is clear... 🤔

I didn't care much about the IXTL when the Bandai kit came out, but when I built it as a companion to the ARTPLA Ingram, I leaned to appreciate the subtle complexity of the seemingly simple volumes that define the design. Another timeless Izubuchi masterpiece.
