Ichiban Kuji: Selectable prizes for non-blinds small prizes. Double chance included in participating countries.
Series Sequel: 8th Minion Kuji set! 1st in 2022!
Minions are back! This time round they got featured because of the new movie that’s coming up! Let’s see what they have for us this time round!
Prize A (2 pieces) / Double Chance
Top Prize Appearance: 7th
Prize Rating:
Bob appeared in almost every Minion Kuji, I mean he is arguably the cutest amongst all of them. This is a cushion, but what is so special is that Bob and his teddy is removable! So you can display them separately or put him inside the bed and act like a cushion! Such a unique and fun prize, wouldn’t be surprised if people are eyeing on this!
It’s also a double chance prize, so you have a chance to win this if you didn’t pull it!
Prize B (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 5th
Prize Rating:
Stuart looks cute too, I mean he is the only one with one eye and yet he can look as adorable. He is in a pilot costume, different from his previous, so that’s special, moreover, only 1 in every set, so won’t say it’s anything bad!
Prize C (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 3rd
Prize Rating:
Kevin, the tallest amongst them at 29cm long, is also very adorable, I mean nothing bad on the plush, he dons a kung fu outfit and he is another unique piece in a set, so nothing bad upon pulling this plush!
Prize D (2 pieces)
Top Prize Appearance: Debut
Prize Rating:
Otto makes his debut here and he looks so cute here, he is the new character in the movie so if you have a collection of Minion plush, you would want to get your hands on this as well! 2 to go around, so new and existing collectors can have a better chance obtaining this!
Prize E (1 piece)
Prize Rating:
To end off the top prize section, we have a large rug. If you are not into plush, this will suit you more! Also, if you prefer something usable, this would be the prize to lookout for as well! It’s 60cm in diameters, so it’s big enough to make it look astonishing in your room! Definitely a good prize.
Prize F (15 pieces)
Design: 6
Distribution: 3 x 3 pieces each. 3 x 2 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
The small containers kick start the small prize section, each design is unique on their own with different color lid and also the art. You can choose your favorite, I think all looks great, but do check if they are available first before buying in case you really want a particular design!
Prize G (24 pieces)
Design: 6 glasses, 3 mini plates
Distribution: 6 glasses x 3 pieces each. 3 plates x 2 pieces each. Blind box.
Prize Rating:
Wow this is rare, the glasses and plates are categorize into this prize, so when you pull it, you choose between the 2 and then you will be given a blind box that correspond to your choice! Interesting format, both plates and glasses look great here, they have great design too and whichever you pull, I don’t think you will be disappointed!
Prize H (24 pieces)
Design: 3 long, 5 small.
Distribution: 8 x 3 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
Lastly we have towels, again not a big fan of towels, mainly because they aren’t usable but act as a display piece. Still, the design looks great, nothing too outstanding but appreciable.
Last Prize
Prize Rating:
Well the last prize is unique, so if you want this Bob cushion, you can only buyout the set. It’s a large cushion at 50cm in length, so huggable and looks good on your bed or sofa! You can look for a 6- buyout or 12- if there is at least 1 other top prizes left!
If not, you can hope for a double chance win.

Conclusion
I think nothing will ever go wrong for a Minion Kuji, it’s not bad, but I think the prizes could be better if we want to make it one of the best Kuji. The small prizes are standard, the top prizes are cute plush, but nothing too outstanding, still, for a minion fan, it’s something to hype for the movie!
