ThreeZero Patlabor 2 and 3 59

Three Zero is back with their second ROBO-DOU offering, and it’s another Patlabor release!

Patlabor is a Japanese anime from the 80’s which has carried on in various forms since.  It hasn’t exploded in popularity like other lines but has a core following and continues to reinvent and expand it’s universe.  The main draw are giant mechs with police markings, controlled by the Tokyo police and used to enforce the peace in a time where Labors (mechs) are common.

ThreeZero’s ROBO-DOU is their line of approximately 9 inch scale robots.  For those familiar with the Transformers DLX scale robots – these take that DNA and apply it to other properties.

This is their second ROBO-DOU release, and it’s a slight remod of the first release (see our full gallery and review here).  Patlabor has multiple Police mechs, each with slight variations.  The first release was the main one, and this one is UNIT 2 and UNIT 3 in one set.  You get the core robot, and then can swap the head, shoulders, and license plates to make it work for either 2 or 3.   The human drivers for each – Isao Ohta and Shinobu Nagamo – are also included.

Patlabor as a brand was also about to ramp up promotion for the line with a new website, fan club, store and events around Japan.  They also have a new project in the works – Patlabor EZY.  A lot of that has been put on hold due to the COVID-19 issues globally.   You can check in and keep up with things on their website – https://Patlabor.tokyo, along with Twitter and Instagram.

We’ve run the new ThreeZero set for some pics to show what it can do. Read on to check out shots and additional thoughts for the ROBO-DOU Patlabor Ingram Unit 2 and 3 Compatible Set after the break, courtesy of ThreeZero!

Toy Fair 2020 ThreeZero 088

We have photos of the ThreeZero display from Toy Fair 2020. Most of the items were previously released and/or previously announced. Of note, some of the figures (such as Berserk and Destiny) are labeled at 1/12 Scale on the placards. However, they were 1/6 Scale Figures. Only the Terminator: Dark Fate figures are actually 1/12 Scale.

Mondo Mecha Iron Giant 037

Mondo is kicking off their Mondo Mecha line with the beloved Iron Giant. The new line of figures will feature roughly 12″ tall highly articulated robot figures. As you may recall, the Iron Giant was one of the first collectibles released by Mondo back in 2015. While that collectible stood around 16″ tall, this upcoming release is a little smaller, standing about 12.5″ tall. In 2018, a few teaser designs were released for the Mondo Mecha line, featuring robotic versions of a few Marvel super Heroes.

The Mondo Mecha Iron Giant will be available in a Standard Edition and a Mondo Exclusive Edition. Both versions include four swap out heads, multiple interchangeable hands, a magnetic “S” symbol for his chest, removable teeth, a girder meal, and a battle mode arm. The Exclusive will include an additional portrait, and a Hogarth in Junked Car accessory. Pre-orders are live now via Mondo. You can see the links, details, and photos after the jump.

Patlabor ThreeZero 059

ThreeZero have been rocking it over the last couple years.  They’ve upped their 1/6th game and are killing the Transformers high end lines for the movies in two different scales.  Now they are taking some DNA from the recent DLX series of Transformers and applying it to other properties in the new ROBO-DOU line.  These are 9 inch scale, highly articulated action figures featuring a metal skeleton with high end overlays and features.  You can see our galleries for the DLX Transformers Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Blitzwing here.  All of these use the same general tech as the new ROBO-DOU line, and the first one is what we are looking at today – Patlabor’s Ingram Unit 1.

If you wanna dig right into the pics and details for the new ThreeZero Patlabor figure, jump to the full story here!

More on Patlabor in general below:

Patlabor has been a property I’ve seen over the years as an adult collector, but never really drilled down into it.  Since I was a kid, I always preferred my robots sentient, so Gundam, Macross and the like where humans pilot the bots – I always admired from a distance.  Plus, since I was limited in international scope early on, I always thought they looked like Prowl.  :).

That being said, I’ve seen some of the anime since then, and dig it for what it is – a cool alt universe future tech story with great animation.  Big Mecha fights are always a bonus.

For those looking to refresh themselves on Patlabor – this website clarifies and organizes the series overall, including the backstory and different animation universes: Patlabor.info

Plus, here is a video overview showing it’s history, very well done:

So now that you are all caught up, let’s check out the figure courtesy of ThreeZero after the break!
