Kotobukiya has announced an Olive-Drab color version of its AL-97B Hannibal 1/72 Model Kit, the unfortunate mech to meet its end in the opening scene from Patlabor 2: The Movie.
This recolored version of this grunt mech will come with a new hand-held weapon as well as alternate GSDF decals, and features all the same details as the original, including opening hatches and a clever joint design to give the appearance of realistic cloth covered joint work.
This full-color snap-assembly model is slated for release in June 2009, with an MSRP of 4,600 Yen

While it's not the color of the one that gets destroyed in the movie's opening sequence, it's a fairly neat recolor that's evocative of the Helldiver. The added gun is a nice bonus as well as an incentive for people who had the first version.
The real-robot look could even make it enticing for non-Patlabor fans.
MSRP is 4,600 yen, coming June 2009.
