The Ryan trio, assembled!

You can connect the stands together, but the heads are so big they get in each other's way. ^^;

This kit is the Hoodie version from the Ryan 3-piece set released as a collaboration between Bandai and Kakao. The basic configuration is the same as the previous releases, with a light blue hoodie worn over the head and body. It's still got that easy, smooth build feel, and shows even more flexible articulation than Petit'gguy — and it's got a different kind of cuteness going on compared to the Heart & Penlight and Ribbon versions.

With the hoodie added, there aren't many extra accessories like the Ribbon version, but just building and displaying it is more than enough to make it worthwhile. Putting it together with the other versions really amplifies the cuteness, and you can also display them combined using the puzzle gimmick on the stands. The only thing is, the heads are so big they end up bumping into each other — though in a way, seeing them all squished together head-to-head is kind of adorable in its own right. ^^;

Either way, this is a kit that can be recommended to anyone regardless of age or gender, and it's even more fun if you build all three versions together. :-)
