Runner shot. They're a bit bulkier than I expected.
Oh wow.. they even used system injection!!
Also, small gates are used, so you can easily snap the parts off and build without nippers.
The Cup Noodle color version comes with quite a generous amount of sticker seals.

As you can see, this is 1/200 scale — much larger than the previous 1/380 cup noodle Gunpla.
Original color version 1/200 RX-78
The molding is more detailed than I expected. The panel line style is the same as the MG Gundam Ver. O.Y.W. 0079.
The limits of a food toy kit... the inner thighs and inner forearms are pretty hollow. ^^;
Articulation is very basic — the head, shoulders, hip joints, and ankles move just a little.

Compared to the original color version, the exterior colors have been changed to a reddish scheme.
Together with the 1/144 scale RG First Gundam.

Original color version 1/200 Char's Zaku II
Not quite as detailed as the First, but the molding is still pretty fine.
Just like the First, the inner thighs and inner forearms show the same hollow issue..
Together with the original color version 1/200 First Gundam.
Together with the 1/144 scale RG Char's Zaku II.
The articulation points are the same as the First Gundam.
Action poses. It's a bit of a shame that the only weapon included is a single Heat Hawk.

The Cup Noodle color version also comes with a large number of additional seals, as expected.
Together with the original color version. Overall the coloring has shifted redder, with white added here and there.

Together with the previous Cup Noodle Gunpla Series 1 and Series 2. The size difference between 1/380 and 1/200 scale is quite noticeable.
