So for me it really does boil down to picking the most appealing ones to me. Although I am fond of the line, it can get very expensive very quickly to collect from it. However, I've taken a liking to the Ichiban Kuji title as a whole due to the excellent pieces that are produced for this line, many being exclusives for a particular series. On average Kuji figures tend to be more expensive than most figures due to the effort spent both in obtaining them in the source country (Japan), and getting them through a proxy or online shop. This element of obtaining the figure, kicks the price up from that of normal figures of this type and size, and also makes them rarer than your average figure. Ichiban Kuji literally means The n☁ Lottery, or more explicitly The Best Lottery."īasically the Ichiban Kuji prizes can only be won in special lotteries hosted in areas like arcades and convenience stores etc.
Items can generally be bought directly in combini and specialized shops after a short while. The quantity of each prize is fixed by Banpresto for one pool. Some stores actually even allow people to pre-order a whole pool for the regular wholesale price of ¥50,000. Generally, one store gets a pool of lots, containing a total of 100 lots with their accompanying ¥500 tickets. Premium sessions may call for ¥800 to ¥1,000 priced tickets instead. To participate to the lottery and maybe win items, you must buy ¥500 tickets in Japanese convenience stores (also called combini) or toy stores like Jump stores. Each session features a specific set of Shonen Jump titles with exclusive lots, sometimes along other more common products. "Ichiban Kuji is a lottery handled every months by Banpresto. I'll cover what I deem to be it's negative points while explaining why I chose those in the first place, along with pictures and manga/anime references to be included.Ī little excerpt on Kuji as cited from One Piece Wiki- (here): Everything about the figure is great to me, but of course no figure is without it's flaws, and I find this figure in particular to have only a couple real flaws, not flaws that detract from the figure for me personally, but flaws that one would find annoying, really just nitpicking at the end of the day. To me this figure is a great piece, from the faithful manga design, to the wonderful colouring and sculpt.
(Specifically the scene shown here in the anime):
This is the appearance Luffy had during the events of the Shirohige (Whitebeard) war/assault on Marine Ford. Luffy" from the "Marine Ford Final Battle" arc. The figure in question is the Banpresto Ichiban Kuji piece "Monkey D. This time around I'll be reviewing a personal favourite of mine from the One Piece series.
Once again I'm back with my second review.
