I didn’t know quite how to tackle this one.

I saw these on the Rinkya blog and knew I had to have them. The Japanese have been including toys with food for a long time (So have we, BTW), but these were the first that I was compelled to get for my very own.

For the 30th anniversary of Gunpla (Gundam Models), Bandai and soup maker Nissin teamed up to make a very special Cup Noodle.

They released three different versions of their Chili Tomato cup noodle soup, each with a different Gundam figure and cup decoration.

The decoration on the cup specifically reflects the Gundam included. You get your choice of:

  • Zaku II
  • Gelgoog
  • Z’Gok

Each comes in the separate lid container. There are 3-4 sprues and a set of instructions with each. Assembly takes just a few minutes.

Yes, they are small, but I LOVE the color scheme on these. The clear red and orange are just gorgeous. They are actually posable with joints at the head, shoulders and hips, and some even have multiple weapons.

The soup is not bad either. I wanted to have a little fun with this, so I present to you, the very first episode of
