Stunning New Sora and Riku Statues Headline New Kingdom Hearts 25th Anniversary Collection
A new lottery-based Kingdom Hearts merchandise collection is on the way from Bandai Spirits, celebrating the action RPG franchise’s 25th anniversary with an extensive lineup of exclusive prizes.
The Kingdom Hearts series first debuted in 2002 as a collaboration between Square Enix and Disney, blending original characters with iconic Disney worlds and characters while following Sora’s journey across multiple interconnected adventures.
Over the years, the franchise has become known for its memorable cast, Keyblade battles, emotional storytelling, and distinctive visual style, making it one of gaming’s most recognizable crossover properties.
The “Ichiban Kuji Kingdom Hearts -25th Anniversary-” collection brings together a wide variety of display pieces, practical items, and collectibles inspired by the series.
Headlining the lineup is the A Prize, a detailed Sora statue based on one of the character’s striking illustrations from the series.
The approximately 15 cm-tall display piece features a beautifully sculpted stained-glass-style backdrop, continuing a design element that proved particularly popular in previous Kingdom Hearts lottery releases.
The B Prize takes a more practical approach with a large blanket measuring approximately 90 cm in size.
Featuring artwork of Sora and other characters, the blanket is designed for everyday use while also being suitable for wall display thanks to its decorative artwork.
The C Prize collection includes desktop figures based on King Mickey, Donald Duck, and Goofy.
Each figure stands approximately 10 cm tall and is designed to bring the trio’s familiar charm to desks, shelves, or display cabinets.
For fans of the franchise’s artwork, the D Prize offers ceramic art dishes measuring approximately 17 cm across.
Available in two selectable designs, the dishes feature illustrations inspired by the Kingdom Hearts universe and can be displayed as decorative pieces or used as tableware.
The E Prize consists of a range of hand towels featuring eight different designs to collect.
The assortment includes both printed towels and two-piece half-towel sets, each measuring approximately 25 cm and showcasing imagery from across the series.
The F Prize introduces a set of seven selectable world logo rubber charms measuring approximately 7.5 cm in size.
Each charm represents one of the many worlds featured throughout the Kingdom Hearts series and can be enjoyed individually or paired with matching items from the Keyblade charm lineup.
The G Prize features an eight-piece metal Keyblade charm collection measuring approximately 5 cm each.
Several fan-favorite Keyblade designs make a return, including Kingdom Chain, Crystal Snow, and Favorite Deputy, alongside five newly created sculpt designs.
Whether used as accessories or displayed as part of a collection, the Keyblade charms continue one of the most popular prize categories from previous Kingdom Hearts Ichiban Kuji releases.
The Last One Prize is a statue of Riku, marking the character’s first appearance as a fully sculpted prize in the Ichiban Kuji series.
Standing approximately 15 cm tall, the statue is designed to complement the Sora statue, featuring a matching stained-glass-style backdrop that creates a striking paired display when both are placed together.
As with other Ichiban Kuji events, the Last One Prize is awarded to the customer who purchases the final remaining lottery ticket at a participating location.
The same Riku statue will also be available through the Double Chance Campaign, where 50 winners will have the opportunity to receive the item through a separate promotional draw.
The Double Chance Campaign will run from launch through the end of November 2026, although availability may vary depending on participation levels and prize allocation.
“Ichiban Kuji Kingdom Hearts -25th Anniversary-” is scheduled to begin rolling out from August 15, 2026, at participating retailers across Japan, including 7-Eleven, Ito-Yokado, and Youme Town locations, with each draw priced at ¥790 (approx. $5 USD/ £4 GBP).
A wider international release may eventually appear, as Bandai does distribute Ichiban Kuji lotteries in a number of territories globally, however, there is no confirmation as to whether this will be the case for “Ichiban Kuji Kingdom Hearts -25th Anniversary-” as yet.
