For the live-action Patlabor movies, they made a giant Patlabor mecha. It might look like just some promotional prop, but they built it tough. How tough? Strong enough to weather a typhoon. https://kotaku.com/giant-mecha-erected-in-tokyo-1562916220 This weekend, much of Western Japan was hit hardest by the typhoon, Osaka included. The life-sized AV-98 Ingram from the anime, manga, and now, live-action versions of Patlabor was on display in the Osaka Bay Area.
