Ramen Toy NYCC 2025 Booth Images

I had the distinct pleasure of spending some real time at the Ramen Toy section of the Knowhere Toys booth at NYCC 2025, and wow—what an incredible display of creativity and craftsmanship! Getting hands-on with their lineup was an absolute treat, as everything on display had that unmistakable Ramen Toy energy. The toys have bold concepts, sharp detailing, and nostalgic flair with modern engineering. The booth showcased the massive Super Musk Sewer/Street DioRamen, which looked like a dream setup for any collector wanting to bring their figures to life. Their MAKINA line was front and center, showing off the incredible design work fans have come to expect. Sitting atop was the wickedly cool Misery Machine, and the Amphisbaena vehicle that that fits with any 6″ Military line. On top of that, Ramen Toy had some killer exclusives on hand, including the translucent Clear Shark convention exclusive and their beautifully carded con-only figures. It was one of those rare times where you could just feel the passion poured into every sculpt, every paint detail, and every concept. The Ramen Toy team is firing on all cylinders, and their presence at NYCC 2025 absolutely lit up the show floor!

Misery Machine

The Misery Machine sits menacingly on display, a zombified twist on the classic mystery van we all know. Its turquoise body is splattered with red handprints and oozing green slime graphics, while the bright orange wheels and roof lights add a wicked pop of contrast. The sides feature a ghoulish zombie head replacing the iconic logo, with “ARE U?” scrawled on the rear doors in blood-red letters. Seeing it in person surrounded by rows of nostalgic figures instantly brings back those Scooby-Doo vibes, but with a dark, tongue-in-cheek edge that makes it feel right at home in the horror-tinged nostalgia scene.

The back doors of the Misery Machine swing wide open to reveal a detailed, two-seat interior with a textured metal floor and molded dashboard up front. The open cargo space gives off that classic van vibe but with a creepy twist, especially with the blood-streaked “WHERE ARE U?” scrawled across the outside door panel. The custom SK008 “WASTELAND” license plate adds a nice finishing touch.

Amphisbaena

The AMPHISBAENA from Ramen Toy’s RAV (Ramen Armored Vehicles) line rolls in with an aggressive black and red color scheme that immediately grabs attention. Built in 1/12 scale, this Double Barrel Plasma Cannon MBT is designed to pair perfectly with six-inch figures. The tank features functional rubber tracks supported by working sprocket and idle wheels, along with six individually suspended road wheels for smooth motion across uneven terrain. Its turret offers full 360-degree rotation, and the dual cannons elevate and depress on a ratchet joint for realistic posing. Twin hatches on the turret open to seat two figures, with dual communication antennas rising from the top. The rear showcases detailed vents and tow hooks, while clear headlights and taillights add to the realism. Inside, the dual seating hull interior is fully realized, providing a cockpit that fits two standard 1/12 scale figures with precision.

Super Musk DioRamen

The DioRamen setup captures an immersive urban and underground environment, featuring a multi-level design that transitions from street level to a gritty sewer below. The upper section is made up of eight asphalt road panels with optional manhole and pavement covers, complemented by brick wall backdrops, working LED lighting over an opening door, and a functional rolling shutter door. A fire escape with a drop-down ladder adds that perfect city realism, while the lower section brings the underworld to life with eight sewer floor panels, interchangeable grates, and flowing water effects. Details like support pipes, ventilation vents, and LED-lit sewer walls powered by USB-C make it feel alive, complete with a vertical pipe and valve wheel to finish the industrial aesthetic.

The back walls of the diorama are built from textured red brick panels that give the setup an authentic city alley vibe. Each section includes realistic details like ventilation grates, industrial-style doors, and a rolling shutter, with one wall featuring a fire escape complete with a drop-down ladder. Small accessories like a phone booth, mailbox, and fire hydrant add to the urban realism, while signage and weathered finishes tie everything together, creating a convincing backdrop for 1/12 scale figure displays.

MAKINA

The MAKINA display showcases a stunning lineup, starting from the right with the JoeFest exclusive Shark featuring its signature shark-mouth deco, followed by the NYCC 2025 exclusive clear Shark that shows off the intricate internal sculpt through its translucent plastic. Next is the regular Shark with its bright white and yellow colorway, and rounding things out is the Mobula in a sleek purple finish. Each vehicle is paired with its corresponding figure and accessories, creating a cohesive and visually striking presentation that highlights the craftsmanship and variety within the MAKINA line.

Here’s an up-close look at the NYCC 2025 exclusive clear Shark, showing off its translucent body that reveals the inner structure of the vehicle. The yellow-tinted fins and accents pop against the frosted clear plastic, highlighting the vehicle’s sleek aerodynamic lines. Positioned in front is the matching translucent Portia White and helmet.

The Mobula and Shark vehicles make an impressive pairing, each showing off their unique design cues and transformation features. The Mobula sports a bold purple and blue color scheme with wing attachments and twin spinning saw blades extending from the front, paying homage the cartoon. Beside it, the Shark balances sleek style with its clean white and yellow deco, turbine-style side engines, and sharply angled fins.

The JoeFest exclusive Shark cuts a sharp profile with its matte gray finish accented by the striking red shark-mouth design along the front fenders. Its turbine-style side engines and angular fins stay true to the MAKINA aesthetic, giving the vehicle a sleek yet aggressive look.
