Patlabor 1/35 Type-J9 Griffin Soft Vinyl Kit (Built & Painted)










I have cover both Master Grade Griffin on flight and aqua, still I'm going to express my passion on this mecha in its soft vinyl kit form. It's 1/35 scale so there is no problem displaying it with the other MG kits. This sculpt is based on the Griffin appearing in the manga version of Patlabor. This soft  vinyl kit is literally very very old and is released way back in 1989 by Kaiyodo. Lucky for me, I managed to this kit built and painted. I love the dramatic pose of the kit however the flight backpack is weighing the kit backwards. I could stick the kit to a base but in this case, my quick solution is using a Lego block to balance it.

This robot looks fierce. Did you stick some parts back to the waist and hips areas?

I have to admit that this is one of my all time favorite mecha designs and the anime / manga series have some years since its introduction, which speaks very well about its overall design and plot... In full black it not only looks menacing, (pretty much like Black Panther), it also works perfectly for undercover operations!...

This is not a model kit? Look awesome.

The the MG model kit by Bandai. This resin kit is non posable after assembly. I like this more as it more like at statue in finished mode.

Yeah! Pretty badass... The part that I need to repair are mainly those wings on the back. The hip & waist are supposed to be fabric material however the paint kind of makes it less realistic. I apologize for that : )

Yeah mate! The Black makes it stealthy and the technology advancement beyond Ingram gives it an edge which can be put into good military applications. Despite the age of this anime, it remains faithful to me and one of my best likes.
