In addition to hand-drawn manuscripts, this exhibition will exclusively offer over 1,000 collectible Cup Noodle Mascot gashapon figures from various series. The champagne tower featuring Cup Noodle Mascot, which was displayed in Japan last year, will also be faithfully recreated in Taiwan. As Miss Cup Noodle visits the beautiful island of Taiwan, she’ll be experiencing local charm as well — blending iconic Taiwanese landmarks so that visitors can enjoy a fun “travel around Taiwan” atmosphere in the exhibition hall.

Created by Toreba Club, a small Japanese company of just 10 people with 100% creative energy, together with mangaka Kazuki Tanaka, Cup Noodle Mascot has not only warmed many hearts but also generated astonishing sales of 10 million gashapon toys for the manufacturer. The company has since launched various series of gashapon, including the deformed "Cup Bottom Mascot" series (where the mascot gets squashed at the bottom of the cup). The Cup Noodle Mascot exhibition will open with a quirky showcase at Taipei’s MEGA Space starting December 24, with online ticket sales now available.
