Behind every Johnny artisan keycap is a process of hand-painting, careful assembly, and obsessive attention to the source material. The Patlabor AV-98 Ingram set showcases this craftsmanship through detachable armor panels on the head, cheeks and shoulders, an opening chest cockpit, hand-painted 警視庁 and POLICE detailing, multi-color light-through resin, and premium gold-foil collector packaging.

Hand-Painted, Not Mass-Produced

Each Patlabor Ingram set is individually hand-painted. That means the white armor panels, the grey joints, the black "警視庁" chest marking, and the gold detail each get individual attention — and, as with any handmade item, there can be subtle variations between units that are part of its character.

Engineering Play-Value

The most impressive part is how much it moves. Multiple armor panels on the head, cheeks and shoulders can be removed, and the chest cockpit opens to reveal interior mechanical detail. It's a genuinely interactive sculpture that switches between fully armored and stripped-down display modes.

Light-Through Design

Translucent resin at the head sensor, eyes and shoulder lamps is engineered to let keyboard backlight shine through. The result, on a bright RGB board, is the signature blue-and-red police-robot glow of Ingram on duty — a reward for choosing the right switch option.

The Unboxing

Everything arrives in a black collector's box with gold "JOHNNY" foil branding. Inside, custom-cut foam inserts hold the three keycaps and the detachable weapon accessory in place, so your set arrives ready for display — no rattling, no loose parts.
