A new ‘FuRyu Kuji’ (lottery) for the globally popular game “Minecraft” will be released sequentially at the Japanese Konbini, Family Mart, starting Saturday, January 17th. The prize this time is the “Nui Buddy,” a plush toy with a belt that you can enjoy attaching to your bag or backpack.
It’s a ‘Kuji,’ But There Are No Losing Tickets! A New Style Everyone Can Enjoy
“Kuji,” often found in Japanese Konbini and hobby shops, is a popular form of entertainment where you pay a set fee to draw a ticket and are guaranteed to win a prize. Usually, prizes are ranked, like Prize A, Prize B, and so on, but the biggest feature of this ‘FuRyu Kuji Minecraft Nui Buddy’ is that there are “no differences in prize tiers.”
No matter which ticket you draw, you are guaranteed to receive one of the 12 types of “Nui Buddy,” including familiar characters like the Creeper and Enderman. Which character you get is a fun surprise until you open it. This casual nature is an irresistible charm for fans.
Collect All 12 Types of “Nui Buddy”!
The prizes, “Nui Buddy,” are plush toys that, as the name suggests, become your “buddy.” They range in size from approximately 7cm to 14cm, making them perfect for collecting.
The lineup features a full array of popular characters that even non-fans might know, such as the game’s familiar Creeper, Enderman, and Ender Dragon.
Each plush toy comes with a belt designed with the game’s block patterns, allowing you to wrap it around your bag handle or backpack strap and go out with your favorite character anytime, anywhere. Of course, you can also customize it by attaching your own chain. It’s a detailed creation that expresses the world of Minecraft down to the finest points.
Good Fortune in the Last Ticket! Don’t Miss the “Last Get Prize”
A particularly unique aspect of Japanese lottery culture is the “Last Get Prize.” This refers to a special prize that is given to the person who draws the very last ticket at a store.
This time, the Last Get Prize is an insulated bag themed after the “Chest” used for storing items in the game. It’s a practical size that can hold a 500ml plastic bottle upright, making it useful not only for carrying drinks and food but also as a storage box in your room.
Furthermore, there will be a “Double Get Prize” campaign where 50 lucky winners drawn from the lottery ticket stubs will receive this Chest-themed insulated bag. You won’t want to miss a thing until the very end.

You can try your luck with the ‘FuRyu Kuji Minecraft Nui Buddy’ for 680 yen (tax included) per ticket. The release date is from Saturday, January 17th, but please note that the launch time may vary by store. The products are available while supplies last.
