" ACGHK 2026," also known as "Ani-Com & Games Hong Kong 2026 (Hong Kong Anime, Manga, and Gaming Festival 2026)," was held from Friday, July 24, 2026, to Tuesday, July 28, 2026.
This time, we’re bringing you coverage of the “Nissin Toy Cube ” and “Nissin Vocaloid ” booths!
At the “Nissin Toy Cube” booth, we spotted the nostalgic official mascot, “Demae Boy”!
The “Nissin Toy Cube” booth was set up by “Nissin,” the food company known for products like Chicken Ramen and Cup Noodles.
At this booth, American pop artist Ron English ( @ronenglish ) collaborated with Nissin’s official mascot character “Seizai” (Japanese name: Demae Boy) to showcase a variety of artworks.
Artworks and figurines of “Seizai,” reimagined with the crazy smiles and unique color palette characteristic of Ron English’s designs, were on display.
Inside the booth was also a fully customized JDM-spec Supra, designed by Ron English in collaboration with DPLS!
The crazy smile and lettering design really catch the eye.
A giant 3D statue of “Seizai,” reimagined by Ron English, greeted us.
If you look closely at “Seizai” flashing his crazy grin, you’ll see that not only his double front teeth and canines but even the wrinkles and tear troughs that form when he smiles have been faithfully recreated.
It might be a little scary...
Behind the giant 3D statue of Qingzi are four limited-edition prints, each depicting a different pose or expression!
The four works, titled “Connection (Got You!)”, “Power”, “Stay Active”, and “Peaceful Smile”, are said to represent a journey from self-discovery to inner fulfillment.
Inside the suitcase featuring that trademark crazy smile—which appeared in Ron English’s official Instagram video—
...a limited-edition 15cm-tall “Seizi” art toy is also available!
You can view Seizi striking a single pose from various angles.
Even at 15 cm tall, the crazy smile and wrinkles in the clothing are meticulously recreated.
The packaging for this art toy features a bold design of Seizi’s silhouette, showing off his crazy smile.
In addition, original T-shirts by Ron English and a collection of wall-sized artworks were also on display.
The Piapro Characters have all gathered at the “Nissin Vocaloid” booth!
Next up is the “Nissin Vocaloid” booth!
At this booth, merchandise and cup noodles resulting from a collaboration between N issin and the Piapro Characters —KAITO, MEIKO, Megurine Luka, Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, and Kagamine Len—were on display.
The Piapro Characters, holding bowls of ramen, welcomed visitors!
Furthermore, Hatsune Miku’s outfit features a design reminiscent of Seiko’s costume.
A wide variety of collaboration merchandise, including pin badges and stickers, was on display!
Plus, there were “Gōmi-dō” products created in collaboration with the Piapro Characters, including bagged noodles featuring a design of Hatsune Miku and Qingzi together!
The lineup featured such adorable products that you’d want to display them rather than eat them.
Plus, if you register as a member at the “Nissin Foods Experience Hall,” you’ll receive a large collaboration-themed paper bag and a collaboration Cheki photo!
It’s a great memento of your visit to the “Nissin Vocaloid” booth.
Here, they were selling collectible cards exclusive to the Nissin x Piapro Characters collaboration.
Apparently, one of the seven types is a rare card (I want it)!
Venue-exclusive collection box sets were also on sale.
The contents of this set are as follows:
- 6 packs of Special Edition Stir-in Noodles
- Plush keychain (3 types total) × 1
- Collaboration pin badge (2 types total) × 1
- Collectible card lottery ticket ×1
- Collaboration-themed large paper bag × 1

A wall covered with stills from the "Cup Noodles STIR" TV commercial, available on the official NISSINFOODSHK YouTube channel ( @NISSINFOODSHK )!
The commercial featured footage of Hatsune Miku eating Demae Iccho.
I’d love to try the Demae Iccho made in collaboration with the Piapro Characters!
That wraps up our report from the “Nissin Toy Cube” and “Nissin Vocaloid” booths!
