INFORMATION
MECHA SMILE, a Japanese brand , has announced details for its latest model kit, the "Griphon the Case Files Colorway Ver.", based on the 3D action game "Patlabor the Case Files." This product will be sold bundled with a special edition of the "Patlabor the Case Files" game software.
The TYPE-J9 Griffon is an experimental combat Labor developed in top secret by the SEJ Tsuchiura Research Institute with the goal of becoming the "strongest Labor." Its most distinctive features are its jet-black body and massive double horns on its head. Due to the immense resources invested in its development, regardless of cost, this machine demonstrates the highest level of technological prowess. Its strength and agility surpass those of machines like the Ingram. Its back can be fitted with a "flight component" for short-duration flight or an "underwater component" for submersion. Furthermore, its OS employs a unique and highly efficient system called "ASURA," enabling it to perform agile movements almost like a living organism.
The "MODEROID Griffin the Case Files Colorway Ver." is a modified version of the previously released standard kit, utilizing new molded parts colors and some pre-painted parts to recreate the special gray and white color scheme from the game. The game *Patlabor the Case Files* is an action game that allows players to relive many classic scenes from the *Patlabor* series. During missions, players can take on the roles of Special Vehicle Section 2 and their adversaries, personally piloting various Labors such as the Ingram, Griffin, and Zero in combat.
The completed Griffon stands approximately 13 cm tall. At a 1/60 scale, it features a sleek and stylish silhouette and detailed design, including a flight assembly with massive wings on its back and fully articulated joints with a closed structure. It can be paired with various hand parts to create powerful poses.
