Square Enix Kuji: Selectable prizes for non-blinds small prizes. Double chance included if your country carries this Kuji.
Glad to see a variety of non-Ichiban Kuji, Square Enix Kuji heavily focuses on Dragon Quest, however, throughout all these years, there are lots of improvement for their Kuji. They started with non-selectable prizes, so if you pull 2 small prizes, you can’t choose, however, for this set, that’s not the case, good to see they listen to our feedbacks and improvise.
Prize A (2 pieces)
Prize Rating:
For Dragon Quest Kuji, their top prize isn’t some fancy figurine, but useful items. This time round it’s a toaster! You can put your toast and then create some Slime shape breakfast! If you are a fan you definitely want this, I mean who doesn’t want your breakfast to have a smiley slime face right?
Prize B (2 pieces)
Prize Rating:
Next we have a big plate in the form of a game screen. It’s really a good display piece and if you decide to use it, it’s a good plate too since it has 3 compartment, you can separate your dish perfectly! Not as fancy as the toaster for a big prize, still not so bad!
Prize C (12 pieces)
Design: 3
Distribution: 3 x 4 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
Getting a glass mug ain’t too bad. The design wise related to the gameplay or simply a slime heavy design, you can pick your favorite so do play early to in case a particular design is gone.
Prize D (18 pieces)
Design: 6
Distribution: 6 x 3 pieces each
Prize Rating:
The previous set has some mini figures, so definitely feels a bit disappointed that this set doesn’t come with that, but large acrylic stand isn’t that bad. They featured a lot of characters and they base is 3D so it looks like they are standing on a tall base, but it’s just a trick eye base.
Prize E (12 pieces)
Design: 3
Distribution: 3 x 4 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
Normally I really have no good feelings for towels, but it’s a long one and they made one of the design fairly good, so not that bad to pull this. When I say it’s a long towel, it’s really long and can act as a good face towel. The odds of pulling this is as good as pulling the other small prizes, so I will say, it’s still quite balance.
Prize F (12 pieces)
Design: 3
Distribution: 3 x 4 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
A sword like bookmark definitely interest fans of the game. The design is different so you can pick your favorite, all looks nice in my opinion. If you want to show it off, you can use it like a charm too!
Prize G (12 pieces)
Design: 4
Distribution: 4 x 3 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
Last but definitely not the least, we have mask covers. They look amazing with great design, although 1 has appeared in the mug and the other in the towel, but the other 2 is just purely amazing art work! You can use it to store your mask so everyone knows you are a Dragon Quest fan!
Last Prize / Double Chance
Prize Rating:
Just in case you are a fan of the toaster, why not pair it with a good Slime Kettle to boil water for your hot beverages! Looks cute and I would recommend a 10- buyout to get these, hopefully not much duplicated prizes left and 15- if A or B is still inside.
There are 100 of these to be won from a lucky draw, so if your country is eligible, you can participate and hopefully win this too!

Conclusion
Square Enix Kuji doesn’t always have regular releases, but when they do, they do provide good prizes, enough to attract buyers. The gradings are judged based of Ichiban Kuji’s standard, but a solid B- shows that it’s still a good Kuji to buy if you are a fan, everything feels good, just don’t go overboard as there are no figurines here.
Recommendation
4 tickets for a chance a top prize.
Collectibles? : A, B and Last if you are intending to use them, don’t collect for the sake of it. You could however collect the Sword Bookmark and Acrylic Stand, they do feel special and worth being added to your Dragon Quest Collection.
