Wonder Festival Winter 2023 will host a pretend “trade show” oriented around showing off and judging “Labors,” the mecha from the Patlabor setting. [Thanks, ANN!]
The trade show, which will take place on the Wonder Festival Winter 2023 grounds at Chiba’s Makuhari Messe event hall, is called “The 1st Makuhari International Labor Show.” It parodies the “Tokyo International Labor Show” from Patlabor. Mecha designed Yutaka Izubuchi will attend the show, and serve on a judging committee evaluating models to receive the Labor of the Year prize, selected from submissions taken between August and December 2022. The exhibit itself will display art and figures of Labors from the series. Mockup art seen on the WonFes 2023 website also includes what looks to be a life-size model of the AV-8 Ingram, the Patlabor used by the cast in the show.
