peteski Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Didn't we discuss this model a month or two ago? Deja-vou all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I really like the warning label on the front of the box. Not one of my favorite forms of Ramen, prefer the real stuff from my "not so local" international market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug 1061 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Looks like someone has too much time on their hands. That warning likely means someone tried to eat that..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I’ve never seen parts trees with different molded colors on one tree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I brought this one up a month or two ago. And I'm still just as confused now as I was then. Why anyone would manufacture this kit, let alone buy one. Ahh well, whatever floats one's boat I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither have I, It almost looks like they are snapped on there, but if not, impressive engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This molding method is common for Gundam "robot" models. Japanese can do some amazing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCostello Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Absolutely the stupidest model I've ever seen! Why would anyone waste any amount of money on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Stupid ? Perhaps but they could, I say could be worth something in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 There's definitely an easier and cheaper way to get some realistic looking noodles on your display shelf, especially given this is the same scale as a 49 cent pot of the real ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Definitely something wrong when a model company will waste dollars producing blah-blah-blah like this when there are model builders out there with real wants that are going un-headed. What a waste of plastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Well, this kit is aimed at the Japanese market and you only have to look at some of the other odd ball kit subjects they have over there to see why this isn't considered an absurdity. What cracks me up me about this kit is that Bandai included stickers for the prawns - not decals which in my mind would be easier to conform over the surface You could make it a horror version: paint the noodles in modulated pink and add clear goop between spaces to make it look like a slimey pot of worms. Thrown in some bloodied dolls eyes and voila, you have created the grossest pot noodles ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably figured that those model builders would find stickers easier to deal with than waterslide decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
