Thanks to JoshB and CollectionDx for the news. Reactive Armor Ingram (Brave Gokin 14) and Red shoulder pad OVA version Ingram (Brave Gokin 15). Both due out Feb 2008 for 13,440 Yen each. www.collectiondx.com/node/1999Also, The Patlabor AV-0 type will just be an in-scale plastic action figure (no diecast). The figure seems to sport the same articulation as the Brave Gokin Ingrams. Costs 6,825 Yen. Due Jan 2008. www.collectiondx.com/node/2003Finally, since we're already on the topic of Patlabor. Here's CM's Patlabor series 2 trading figures. Due Feb 2008. www.collectiondx.com/node/2004Includes Captain Gotou, Guard robo, Command Car, Section 1 and Section 2 mechanics crew, and Ingram 02. (+ 1 secret item) Gold

Hmmm. Y'know, I ponied up for both the Movie and TV versions of the Ingram because I wanted to support the line and I thought I wouldn't have to buy another Ingram, but this is getting ridiculous. Hope they sell that armor and shoulder pad separately some day.

Yea, it's pretty annoying.
I don't remember...Did the reactive armor and red shoulder pad only show up on Unit 1 in the series/OVA? Or are they meant to be used on 2 and 3 as well?
I wonder whether these new Ingrams will have swappable heads as well.

CM's is just riding the cureent wave of Labor popularity. I'm not interested in the reactive armor or red shoulder versions at all. I never thought the reactive armor model kits looked very interesting. It just looks like a leather jacket put onto a robot, and the red shoulder version especially seems like a lame excuse for whole new figure release.

Save for Grendizer, I don't care for non-transforming figures AT ALL.

Darn! HobbyLink Japan has already stopped taking orders for the two diecast Ingrams. That's fast...
Looks like they haven't listed the Type Zero yet. I couldn't find it. That one is kind of bittersweet news. Ever since I got my CMS Ingram, I wished they would release a Zero. Now I'm getting one, but an all-plastic one. I wish it was metal, but on the other hand it's half the price of its older brothers. If the paint job is good and the lack of metal does not make it stand out next to the diecast Ingrams, I could live with that.

I'm fine with it being a plastic version, but I am glad that CM did the original Ingrams in metal. I would think the Zero will look fine next to the others. Where it's scaled the same and mostly white, nobody would know the difference in materials until picking it up.

I hope they'll also make the movie's Type Zero, though. The Peacemaker is fine, but the movie's AV-X0 is the one I really want.

Well this is indeed good news for me. The only die-cast I would've bought would've been the AV-0 since that's all plastic I can easily pass on that.
As for the other gokin ingrams, I'm not even remotely tempted. the idea of buying the ingram 2x more for a few accesories just doesn't sit well with me.
