The back of the ribbon is covered with a sticker to hide the hollow gaps, but the mismatch is pretty noticeable — a bit of a shame.

More flexible limb articulation than the Puchiguy.

Together with the Ryan Heart & Penlight.

This kit is the Ribbon version from the Ryan trio set released as a collaboration between Bandai and Kakao. It's a look we're already familiar with from plushies and all kinds of character merchandise, but experiencing it as a plastic model gives it a whole different kind of charm.

The basic configuration is the same as the Heart & Penlight version, just with a pink ribbon added around the head. Everything's great, but the hollow gaps on the back of the pink ribbon being covered with a sticker feels pretty out of place — a bit of a letdown. It would've been so much nicer if they'd just used one or two extra parts to finish it off cleanly.. Also, with the ribbon added, there are no accessories included at all — it's basically all riding on the cuteness of the main body itself. ^^;

Anyway, it's an adorably cute little kit, and it seems like a great plastic model that anyone — young or old, male or female — can enjoy with ease. :-)
