The plus side is you get Free delivery. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilgrim_UK Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 The amount of detail is impressive. Some kits have less pieces. Was this a Student intern project. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 And it's only £37.76. Bargain!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKrypton Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 The Japanese model market never ceases to amaze and delight. That £37.76 is a bit much - typically you will find this listed for $20 to $25. Still a lot for something that you can get for less than a couple $ for the real deal. Use Google Chrome, turn on subtitles, and auto translate to English and follow along. cheers, Graham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdo Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Love how the kit box says in BIG letters: "PLASTIC MODEL KIT. DO NOT EAT" And... "This item is a plastic model kit, it CANNOT be eaten. Please be careful not to accidentally swallow or eat it." Ummmm... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 And the real thing, complete with edible contents, sells for - what - less than a tenth of that price? The mind boggles (and, having boggled, moves on ...)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinK Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) ...and here's an opportunity for Airfix to license it and issue together with a Pot Noodle kit as a "Dogfood Double" Edited February 14, 2021 by KevinK 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 It's a model to "celebrate" the 50th anniversary of instant noodles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_Noodles And I'm pretty sure we've had this discussion before when the product was announced!

So how many parts would a model of a 750g box of Rice Crispies have? Imagine the carpet monster's delight at that getting dropped on the floor.

3DStewart Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Yes, I know it looks ridiculous, but nobody is going to have invested £30K+ in the tooling without a good reason. Maybe it's going to be used as a promotional tool by the noodle manufacturer? Maybe it just appeals to the Japanese sense of humour in a way we don't understand? Incidentally, the Japanese have a long history of 1:1 modelling of food. and when I was there in the late '80s it was the norm for restaurants to have models of their dishes in a special display in the window. A godsend if you couldn't read the menus, just take the waiter outside and point, or write down the numbers before you entered. Maybe it's part of this tradition? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 One birthday my mum was given some nice looking decorated buns....or so she thought. She bit into one to be surprised by a) it was so hard, b) tasted revolting. She then realised it was a bath bomb. When we cleared her house after she died we found the bath bomb still with teeth marks in it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goon Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I built the cup noodle last year. I had to have one as I became a huge fan of Nissin noodles when in Japan in 2015. As with every Bandai kit I’ve built it’s a masterpiece of moulding and design. One of the side panels is removable so you can see the noodle ‘plug’ in situ, demonstrating the innovative manufacturing process of the real noodles detailed in a side panel of the instructions. Absolutely flawless fit, and it looks great on the bookshelf with our favourite souvenirs from that holiday. (You even get a self-adhesive lid that can be removed and replaced as many times as you like.) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
