Bandai Spirits have announced an exciting new addition to their popular “Ichiban Kuji” lottery series, focusing on the legendary fighting game franchise Street Fighter. The upcoming Ichiban Kuji Street Fighter collection will allow fans to score prizes, including a highly detailed Chun-Li Masterlise figure modeled after her iconic victory pose from Street Fighter II. Each lottery ticket will cost 800 yen (Approximately $5.35), and the draw will begin on February 25, 2025, in Japan.
The Ichiban Kuji, or “Number One Lottery,” is a prize-drawing game where each ticket guarantees a win, and prizes are ranked from A to H, including special rewards like the “Last One Prize” and a “Double Chance Prize.” The Chun-Li figure is one of the most anticipated rewards, with fans eager to see her in her classic victory stance, echoing her iconic win animation from Street Fighter II. The figure beautifully captures the spirit of Chun-Li’s triumph, blending nostalgia with fine craftsmanship.
The collection’s centerpiece, the A Prize is a Chun-Li Masterlise figure in her famous victory pose. For longtime fans of the series, this pose is immediately recognizable—her powerful legs positioned with pride, her blue qipao dress flowing in mid-motion, and her joyful smile that always followed her victories. The figure masterfully recreates the pixelated animation in stunning detail, particularly emphasizing her strong, muscular thighs, a defining feature of the character. Chun-Li’s iconic laugh, “Hahahahaha, Yatta!” is practically audible when looking at this detailed sculpture, which truly brings the character to life.
The Last One Prize will feature an alternate version of the Chun-Li Masterlise figure, offering fans a unique collectible that can only be obtained by drawing the last ticket. This version may include subtle differences in the design or paint, giving collectors an additional incentive to complete the draw. A Double Chance Prize also offers another opportunity to win a Chun-Li figure through a second drawing.
In addition to the figure, the Ichiban Kuji Street Fighter lottery will offer a variety of other prizes that will delight fans of the franchise. These include:
- B to G Prizes: A collection of acrylic stands featuring iconic Street Fighter characters, large towels adorned with game-themed designs, a soundtrack collection with memorable sound effects from the game, rubber coasters, acrylic keychains, and more. Each item will feature the familiar imagery and style of Street Fighter, bringing the spirit of the arcade classic into fans’ everyday lives.
- The Last One Prize and Double Chance Prize further highlight Chun-Li’s legendary status, allowing fans to grab this ultimate collectible figure with small but distinctive details compared to the standard version.
While the official designs for some of the prizes are yet to be revealed, the announcement has already generated considerable excitement. The combination of Chun-Li’s iconic victory pose figure with a range of nostalgic collectibles promises to make this Ichiban Kuji a significant hit among fans of the Street Fighter series.
