New Ichiban Kuji Digimon Product Lottery Series Announced- Digimon, Ultimate Evolution!

[MarcFBR]

A new Digimon series of Ichiban Kuji is coming.

Digimon, Ultimate Evolution! will start on July 29th, 2023 at various book stores, hobby shops, arcades, online, & anywhere that takes part in Ichiban Kuji product sales.


For those not familiar, Ichiban Kuji is a product lottery. You pay 850 yen per ticket to find out what prize you win, and the shop has (most of) the prizes on hand for you to get immediately.


There are no images of the prizes yet, but the Ultimate Evolution! Ichiban Kuji series features Digimon Adventure themed prizes: (the earlier the letter, the higher ranked the prize)
A- WarGreymon Figure
B- MetalGarurumon Figure
C- Agumon & Gabumon Figure
D- Stand (likely acrylic)
E- Towel
F- Clear poster
G- Rubber Coaster

A number of these may have different designs (for example, the stands, coasters, etc. will likely have any number of designs, of which a winner at that level will get 'one' item, per ticket.)


There are also a few additional prizes...

Last One WarGreymon- The person who buys the last ticket will also get the 'Last One' WarGreymon figure. Last One figures generally feature different coloring from the main figure. Since the last ticket being sold means it's over at the store, many stores will also offer the 'Last One' buyer any of the signage, posters, etc. for the Ichiban Kuji.

Anyone who enters can use the code on their Ichiban Kuji ticket online in the 'Double Chance' campaign for a second chance to try and get a WarGreymon figure.


While those of us outside Japan won't be able to do the Ichiban Kuji to get these, the figures sold in Ichiban Kuji lotteries in Japan are often sold as normal products in various countries (including the US) under the Ichibansho brand, so we will see if these show up. (For example, the Adventure: Ichiban Kuji, the 'A Prize' Omegamon figure and 'B Prize' WarGreymon figure both were later sold as Ichibansho figures.)


More to come, including images, hopefully soon.

I am not much of a figure collector, but I am curious about the towels. Lol

I used a service for the last one just as an experiment; it didn't really work out and they went AWOL for a long time, but eventually they sort of came through. Probably won't do that this time, the stuff came up on eBay for decent prices (looking now some of those prices have gone up, but the Last One figure kinda sucked anyway lol). Will be interesting to see what they've got this time around.

Edit: Also, damn, that's a short while after I'll be in Japan! Ah well.
