MegaHouse brought physical VAKIT Platoon prototypes from two distinct works to MegaHobby EXPO 2026: Mobile Police Patlabor the Movie and Ghost in the Shell THE GHOST IN THE SHELL. The exhibition has ended, but the display photos show how differently the two figure releases are taking shape.

Kirari: I’d zoom in on the Patlabor prototype photos first. I want a closer look at the figures’ shapes beyond the announcement details.

Nea: The Fuchikoma pair has me curious about those three types of replacement expressions. I’d like to compare the little differences up close.

Four Patlabor varieties in closed boxes

The Patlabor release is planned as four varieties in a closed-box format. The exhibition report does not name the individual varieties, so the prototypes offer a look at the lineup without settling which figure each box will contain.

Fuchikoma comes as a pair

The Ghost in the Shell release instead brings two Fuchikoma figures together in one set, with three types of replacement expression parts. The exhibition photos show the pair as physical prototypes; no release date is given in the report.
