The Highly Anticipated Prize Line-up
The main attraction this time is the first-ever 3D figure rendition of certain characters. Let’s introduce these charming items along with iconic quotes that represent each character’s personality.
Prize A: Elle: Haja Mode Figure
The popular character “Elle” appears in her strongest “True Beast Deification” form: “Elle: Haja Mode.” Standing at approximately 20 cm (approx. 7.9 inches), this figure has a commanding presence. It features a dynamic pose that makes it feel as if you can hear her famous line, “Get ready… Catcher in the Rai!” The design balances dignity and cuteness, with every detail of her weapon precisely recreated.
Prize B: Clear Poster
This poster features the popular character “Masamune,” known for the line, “Under the crimson blade, I shall fulfill my mission…!” It uses a brand-new illustration drawn specifically for this lottery. The beauty of the colors is enhanced by the clear material (transparent plastic). At a large B2 size (approx. 19.7 x 27.8 inches), it’s perfect for bringing a piece of Japanese poster culture into your room.
Prize C: Big Towel
A luxurious towel featuring a group design of five popular characters, including Elle and Masamune. With a total length of approximately 100 cm (approx. 39.4 inches), it is quite large and can be used not only as a practical bath towel but also as an interior decoration for your wall.
Prize D: Oragon Smartphone Stand Figure
The “Monster Strike” mascot character, “Oragon,” has been turned into a practical figure. At approximately 8 cm (approx. 3.1 inches) tall, it depicts Oragon in a cute, winking, relaxed pose. Since you can lean your smartphone against the back, it is a convenient item for desk work or watching videos.
Prize E: Rubber Coasters
These are rubber coasters inspired by the in-game character icons (ball art), available in six different designs. They are relatively large at approximately 12 cm (approx. 4.7 inches), adding a splash of color to your desk. They come in “blind packaging,” so the character you get is a surprise until you open it. By attaching a standard ball chain, they can also be used as charms for your bag.
Prize F: Hand Towel
Convenient portable hand towels featuring familiar in-game icons. You can choose your favorite design from six different varieties. At a size of about 20 cm (approx. 7.9 inches), these are practical items that are also popular as Japanese souvenirs.
Prize G: Canvas Style Board
These artistic boards feature the visuals used during the announcement of new character forms. They are approximately 21 cm (approx. 8.3 inches) and come in a wide variety of 12 types. These are also distributed randomly, but displaying several together allows you to create your own personal collection gallery.
Special Benefits for Drawing the Very Last Ticket
In Ichiban Kuji, there is a special “Last One Prize” rule where the person who draws the absolute last ticket at a store receives a bonus for free.
Last One Prize: Elle: Haja Mode Figure (Last One Ver.)
This is a limited-edition figure awarded to the lucky person who draws the last ticket at a FamilyMart or other retailer. While based on the same “Elle: Haja Mode” as Prize A, it features a special “Last One Prize” color scheme. This unique brilliance is a privilege reserved only for the person who gets the final item.
Seize the Chance with the Double Chance Campaign
You can also apply for a campaign via smartphone using the code found on the “lottery stubs” left after drawing. 30 lucky winners will receive the same “Elle: Haja Mode Figure (Last One Ver.)” as the Last One Prize.
