New Gundam Ichiban Kuji Will Focus on Gunpla Kits

Bandai Spirits revealed full details on the 2024 Mobile Suit Gundam Gunpla Ichiban Kuji. The company will launch this lottery in late August 2024, and people will be able to win exclusive Gunpla model kits and other related items with tickets priced at 800 yen (~$5.20) apiece.

The company had also held lotteries based on specific Gundam entries, such as The Witch From Mercury and the Gundam SEED sub-series. But while those lotteries were mostly focused on character-based goods, this one will exclusively feature Gunpla kits as rewards. Most of the kits in this lottery will be Solid Clear versions with more translucent parts that the regular releases would not have.

This will be the seventh time the company holds a Gunpla-specific Ichiban Kuji lottery. It has been holding the lottery on a yearly basis since 2018.

Here is the full list of prizes that people can obtain from the 2024 Gunpla Ichiban Kuji lottery:

• A Prize: Full Mechanics 1/100 Gundam Aerial – Solid Clear
• B Prize: Real Grade 1/144 God Gundam – Solid Clear
• C Prize: High Grade 1/144 Rising Freedom Gundam – Solid Clear
• D Prize: High Grade 1/144 Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex – Solid Clear
• E Prize: HGAC 1/144 Wing Gundam Zero – Solid Clear
• F Prize: High Grade 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam – Ichiban Kuji Original Color
• G Prize: Entry Grade 1/144 Nu Gundam – Solid Clear
• H Prize: Set of stickers based on Gunpla boxart
• I Prize: Acrylic stand based on Gunpla boxart
• J Prize: Set of optional weapon parts
• Last Prize: Full Mechanics 1/100 Gundam Aerial – Solid Clear Another

In addition, Bandai Spirits will hold a Double Chance Campaign where 50 people can win the solid clear Real Grade kit of the God Gundam, which is alternatively known in the West as Burning Gundam. The lottery participants can input the serial numbers they obtained from the other lottery prizes to enter this campaign, which will close at the end of November 2024.

The 2024 Mobile Suit Gundam Gunpla Ichiban Kuji lottery will be available on August 23, 2024.
