To give a summary, Ichiban Kuji is a lottery performed by Banpresto in recent years, taking place in japan. every year a new wave is released with various Dragonball prizes available to win from the raffle. The formula is usually; 3 big prizes, a set of smaller prizes, various mini items (mugs, pins, pillows, shot glasses, magnets, and other Dragonball items). This thread is to fantasize about what would be you're hypothetical dream Ichiban Kuji wave, consisting of items you would like to see available for purchasing from the next raffle. I thought this might be an interesting idea, since every raffle always have diffrent items from different eras of Dragonball, in various scales and styles. so your dream wave might be around the corner!

There are so many characters and different formats they use for each release (figures, plush, pillows, etc.) I wouldn't know where to begin.

Wow I've never seen these ads for the Kuji lotteries, but each set looks awesome! The most recent one and the first DB set look the best IMO. Out of curiosity, how much do Japanese citizens pay for each lottery ticket?

Two giant Hildegarn figures sounds good to me This is an excellent topic of discussion Panzer, and is also a conversation that was being held in my house last night. DG came by with his brother to check out how my collection was going, and as I showed him all the new stuff that had come out since he gotten out of collecting, we landed on the subject of characters they SHOULD be making. On the very top of all 3 of our lists (and apparently Brans too!) is a massive Kuji Oozaru sized Hildegarn. Here's my ideas for my "dream" kuji set. It would definitely be movie based. A prize: Massive form 1 Hildegarn with a gashapon sized Hoi. The double chance 1 of 100 version of this could be his second form if we're getting really crazy. A more realistic approach (and how BP would probably handle it since their 1 of 100's are typically repaints and not re-tools) would be to make the 1 of 100 version a solid bronze/brownish color to represent his hardened pre-transformation state caused by Gotenks attack. Add a gashapon sized Hoi to this as mentioned above and we're talking an all time great. Other substitutes we'd be totally okay with in this slot would be a Bardock Oozaru or even better.... A massive king Yema sitting at his desk! B prize: Dr. Wheelo statue with Dr. Kochkin in gashapon size. C prize: Jacked up Garlic Jr. Statue. D prize: since banpresto has a seriously hard time doing ANY release without a Goku in it, how about a small statue of Goku in his Suit and tie from the Broly movie? Or perhaps a small diorama of baby Goku and Broly in their little pods, crying their eyes out? E prize: a set of roughly gahsapon sized figures consisting of 4 or 5 characters in the vein of the Vs. Trunks and Frieza sets they've done before , but based on movie henchman. It'd be hard to decide which group since we'd only be getting one, but I'd say either Bojacks crew or Turles's, with each one containing a build-a-figure part to form their respective "boss" , exactly like they did in the Vs. trunks set to form Mecha Frieza. F prize and beyond: since the lower tier prizes typically aren't figures, I'm not going to put too much thought into this but how about some authentic iPhone cases? Or a set of dice molded in clear, orangish amber plastic with little red stars instead of the typical white dots? Just cool semi-useful little nonsense. Definitely behind the idea of another shot glass set as well

I like the idea of focusing a set on movie characters, I'd love to see either of Janemba's forms made into one of the big prizes. A small Chilled figure/statue would be nice as well.

So if you were to purchase a ticket there is no guarantee you will actually be winning anything?

That's probably how it works, but I'd imagine they'd give out some sort of cheap promotional consolation prizes or something like download codes

Yemma at his desk would be awesome! Hirudegarn wouldn't be in scale with gashapons, it should be 1 meter tall to be in scale

An all villain line up would be rad! I would like to see them do another DB wave. A King Piccolo, not sitting on his throne, would be cool, and I think they should have added the Red Ribbon battle suit to the Select Machines line or include it in a future wave. A Muscle Tower diorama similar to the Korin Tower diorama would also be nice.

I think an exception can be made with huge characters like Hildegarn, like the Kuji Oozarus they are technically not in scale with HG but they are big enough and look good displayed
definitely a Muscle Tower will be sweet. i'm really hoping that the prototype that was shown of the RR battle suit will see a release next year. :'(
