In collaboration with Sarnio and Japanese instant noodle company Nissin, Kidrobot unveiled a new limited edition plush toy that's made to look like an enlarged pack of instant ramen.
The 16-inch long pillow features a mashup of Nissin's typical Top Ramen packaging and Sarnio's Gudetama character, which was previously included on a limited edition run of Nissin's instant noodles. With its vivid ramen branding and cartoon characters, the plush functions as a playful accent in any living room or bedroom. To give it a more realistic quality, Kidrobot even supplies the plush with a layer of material that crinkles when touched.
The Top Ramen X Gudetama Large Crinkle Plush is currently available for preorder on the Kidrobot web store.
