Get a clear look at what's inside the Maruttoys Noseru (Ramune Ver.) kit, plus practical tips for assembly and customization.
Quick answer
The Maruttoys Noseru (Ramune Ver.) is a clear green recolor of Kotobukiya's transport robot kit, with 19 movable parts and 3mm joints for combining with other mecha kits.
Why choose the Ramune Ver.?
The transparent green plastic gives the kit a unique soda-bottle look that stands out on a shelf. The color is consistent and lets light pass through, which can be an advantage if you plan to add LED effects. The trade-off is that clear plastic can show nub marks more easily than opaque colors, so careful sanding or glass files are recommended.
Compatibility notes
The kit uses standard 3mm joints, so it can attach to most Kotobukiya Frame Arms, Hexa Gear, and other mecha lines. It's designed to carry figures around 1/10 to 1/12 scale, like the Frame Arms girls. The handle unit on its head and the arms allow for multiple posing and carrying options.
Frequently asked questions
- What's in the box?
- The kit includes multiple runners of clear green plastic parts, a decal sheet, and an assembly manual. The runners are organized by section, and the manual is in Japanese with clear diagrams.
- How long does it take to build?
- Expect about 2–3 hours for a straight build without painting. The parts snap together without glue, though you may want to use nippers and a file to clean up nubs. Plan an evening session for a relaxed build.
- Can I paint it?
- Yes, but clear plastic requires a primer or sanding for paint to adhere well. Many builders keep it clear for the unique look, but you can also paint the inner frame parts for contrast.
- Does it need glue?
- No, it's a snap-fit kit. However, some joints can be tight; a small amount of sanding or lubricant (like silicone grease) can help.
