Powerful new Baki figures now available through Bandai’s Ichiban Kuji prize lottery
BANDAI SPIRITS is launching a brand new prize lottery based on the hit fighting series Baki the Grappler.
“Ichiban Kuji Baki ~The World Can Be Changed with a Single Fist~” will appear at stores across Japan, starting from May 24th, 2025.
This popular “no-lose” character lottery will bring an array of exclusive merchandise featuring the iconic fighters from the legendary martial arts manga series.
Baki the Grappler, created by Keisuke Itagaki, is a seminal work in the fighting manga genre, renowned for its extreme martial arts, larger-than-life characters, and intense battles.
The series has thrilled audiences with its raw power and the relentless pursuit of strength by its protagonists, particularly Baki Hanma and his monstrous father, Yujiro Hanma.
This latest Ichiban Kuji lineup is packed with items that embody the fierce spirit of the Baki universe:
- A Prize:
- Baki Hanma MASTERLISE!! – The top prize features a dynamic figure of Baki Hanma striking his powerful Triceratops Fist pose.
- B Prize:
- Yujiro Hanma MASTERLISE!! – Another imposing figure captures Yujiro Hanma in his striking, arms-outstretched stance, embodying his “Ogre” persona.
- C Prize
- Sikorsky’s Dogeza Rug!! – A truly unique and attention-grabbing item, this prize is a roughly 90cm rug depicting the memorable Sikorsky in his “dogeza” (kneeling apology) pose. This quirky item is sure to be a conversation starter for fans.
The lottery also includes a range of other collectible items:
- D Prize: Towel Collection!!
- E Prize: Clear Poster!!
- F Prize: Clear File & Sticker Set!!
- G Prize: VS Acrylic Stand!!
The highly coveted Last One Prize, awarded to the person who draws the very last ticket in a lottery batch, is the “Yujiro Hanma MASTERLISE!! Last One Version!!”
While maintaining the same powerful pose as the B Prize, this special version of Yujiro reveals his back, showcasing the terrifying “Demon Face” — a signature detail that symbolizes his unparalleled strength.
Additionally, fans will have a second chance to win the A Prize: Baki Hanma MASTERLISE!! figure through a separate Double Chance Campaign.
The “Ichiban Kuji Baki ~The World Can Be Changed with a Single Fist~” will be progressively released starting May 24, 2025. Each draw costs ¥850 (tax included).
The lottery will be available at various locations across Japan, including:
- FamilyMart
- Ministop
- Daily Yamazaki
- Other convenience stores
- Bookstores
- Hobby shops
- Select arcades
- Ichiban Kuji Official Shop
- Ichiban Kuji Online
Baki fans will want to head to their nearest participating location from the 24th of May, 2025, to try their luck at winning some of the exclusive prizes on offer.
Fans of the series may also want to check out the Baki Exhibition that is set to start in Tokyo this June, as a wide range of exclusive merchandise will also be on sale at the event.
