Series Sequel: 47th Pokemon Kuji set! 1st in 2021!
The first Pokemon set for the year! This set features Galarian Ponyta and lots of cool prizes, so let’s see what they have for us!
Prize A (2 pieces)
Top Prize Appearance: Debut!
Prize Rating:
What a nice globe, it features figurines of Pikachu riding Galarian Ponyta inside, so definitely something special that you want to get! The globe also has 3 different color lighting so it act as a perfect display for Pokemon fans!
Prize B (3 pieces)
Top Prize Appearance: Debut!
Prize Rating:
Expect Plush to be featured in every Pokemon set. Which is really not a bad thing as they look adorable and are quite big to hug. Galarian Ponyta Plush makes it’s debut and looks great, no additional costume or base, just a good old Ponyta plush. Definitely suitable for collectors.
Prize C (4 pieces)
Top Prize Appearance: 19th
Prize Rating:
The myth is that Pikachu always appear in every Pokemon Kuji, but the truth is that the big plush don’t pop out that often! Pikachu looks cute here, it has a bowtie and a different expression compared to past releases, and if you are a Pokemon fan, you pretty much wouldn’t hate Pikachu, so nothing bad for pulling this!
Prize D ( 18 pieces)
Design: 2 glasses. 3 plates.
Distribution: 2 glasses x 3 pieces each. 3 plates x 4 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
Glasses are usually preferred when compared to plates, but they both look amazing. You can use them or add them to your hardware collection. each design has a different set of Pokemon so do choose your favorite ones!
Prize E (18 pieces)
Design: 2 folder, 2 note books, 1 tape
Distribution: 2 notebooks x 3 pieces each. 2 folders x 4 pieces each. 1 Tape x 4 pieces.
Prize Rating:
It is very uncommon to see stationeries appearing in the Kuji set, but they do look superb! You can choose from a variation of notebook, mini folder set or a tape! The tape comes in a metal tin, but looks great as a prize! The notebooks has elegant cover and it’s a binder version so expect good quality out of it! The folders are not too bad, they have great design but most importantly they come in a set of 2!
Prize F (20 pieces)
Design: 2 drawstring bag, 4 towels
Distribution: 2 bags x 2 pieces each. 4 towels x 4 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
This prize features variation of items as well! There is drawstring bags and towel! The drawstring bag definitely is more attractive than the towels but they are limited, so do play early to be able to choose them! The towels are not too bad, they have good designs, but have expectation that if you play on a non-fresh board, they will only be towels left.
Prize G (25 pieces)
Design: 10
Distribution: 5 x 3 pieces each. 5 x 2 pieces each. Blind Box.
Prize Rating:
Charms are very common in Pokemon Kuji, but one good thing is that they are metal charms so they have more durable quality and they tend to look nicer and shinier. The Pokemon design varies from different regions, but as a collector, you will find some fresh faces that can be added to your collection!
Last Prize / Double Chance
Top Prize Appearance: Debut!
Prize Rating:
If you did not manage to get Prize A for this set, the last prize works as well! It has a white base instead of purple but all the features remains the same! It will be a great motivator for buying out! You can lookout for a 10- buyout or 16- with at least one other plush inside and some stationaries.
If you didn’t pull Prize A and don’t want to buyout, you can try for double chance, who knows, you might win it!

Conclusion
The prizes in this set are really awesome. The small prizes somehow feels more attractive than the big prizes, don’t get me wrong, the big prizes are still amazing but even if you get the small prizes from your ticket, I don’t think you will feel that bad.
The amount of variety is what amazes me in this set, there are glasses, plates, drawstring bags, towels, charms, notebooks, folders and even tapes in the set and it gives you more option to choose from each category of prizes so you will likely get a prize that you really like!
Recommendation
5 tickets for a chance to get a top prize, or at least get some stationaries or drawstring bags!
Collectibles? : The globe is definitely worth collecting! The drawstring pouch as well as the Ponyta plush looks great to keep too. If you do have the space, do keep the stationaries too as they feel they are a rare collection that can hold it’s value!
