There’s just something alluring about the Cup Noodle brand. There’s been the HyperX April Fool’s joke in 2019 about their Cup Noodle headphones, and the plastic model kit that was released in 2020 by Bandai.
Over the years there have been various merchandise and collectibles in all forms for Nissin’s Cup Noodle brand, and Tomica is expanding on their “car” collection this September. The original Dream Tomica No. 161 Cup Noodle car was released in 2015. The new collection will comprise of six flavours, and here’s the kicker, they will be packed in blind boxes. Measuring just 4cm tall, these Cup Noodles on wheels feature a top lid that opens up to show its contents.
The six flavours include seafood, curry, chili tomato, miso and spicy noodles. The exception will be the original Cup Noodle car, which will be sold as a normal non-blind-box piece. Priced at 880 yen each, the Tomica Cup Noodle car collection will be released on 2 September at all Tomica retailers in Japan or, you can buy the complete set of six for 5,280 yen on the Takara Tomy Mall.
