To promote the new Patlabor movies, the life-sized Ingram mecha was shown off in Tokyo. Sure beats a movie poster.
Recently, huge crowds gathered to see the life-sized AV-98 Ingram that was temporarily erected in the streets of Tokyo's Kichijoji.
Previously, the Ingram was spotted in Yokohama.
Let's have a look at this weekend's promotional event, with images via Naver:
