Patlabor Griffon Figure Brings Back The Harumi Incident
A patlabor product line built entirely around the Ingram hero machine now treats its enemy Labor and the franchise's defining disaster as the selling point, which is the kind of shift a figure line only makes once the collector base has aged into the deeper lore.

Bandai Spirits will release the ROBOT Spirits <SIDE LABOR> Griffon (Twin Unit Equipment) figure in March 2027 for 13,200 yen including tax, with reservations opening October 1, 2026. The Griffon, the rival machine to Shaft Enterprises' AV-98 Ingram, ships with a flight unit backpack, newly sculpted Aqua Unit backpack parts, and the damaged head of Ingram Unit 2, the part that recreates the Harumi Incident.
The twin unit equipment name is literal: the set pairs the Griffon's flight configuration with a newly sculpted Aqua Unit backpack, so the same body covers the airborne and amphibious forms. Bandai Spirits is also including the broken head of Ingram Unit 2 as an optional part, which lets a buyer stage the Harumi Incident with the Griffon rather than the Ingram at the center. Reservations open October 1, 2026. The figure stands roughly 140mm and is made of ABS and PVC, with interchangeable hands, a tail fin, waist replacement parts, a Tamashii Stage joint, and a dedicated stand in the box.
