Wow seems like we are getting another MHA Kuji this month, this set will focus on Bakugo and Midoriya but the main idea of the set is one of the small prizes! So let’s dive right into the prizes!
Prize A (2 pieces)
Top Prize Appearance: 13th
Prize Rating:
Of course we are getting Midoriya as the top prize. The figures this time round is Masterlise, as always, we will expect good quality figures. Despite the fact that this seems like a repeated figure as he has a lot of past figures with his Black Whip effect, this is still a good figure and nothing bad pulling it!
Prize B (2 pieces)
Top Prize Appearance: 13th
Prize Rating:
Bakugo appears as often as Midoriya and there are also a lot of his past figures with his explosive effect, the value of the figure will definitely not go as crazy as All Might and Hawks Masterlise, but again, for the price of your ticket, if you do pull this, it’s actually a good pull, it’s a Masterlise after all.
Prize C (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 14th
Prize Rating:
Oh wow, another Midoriya, I guessed they really want to focus on our main 2 characters in this set. This version has no effect, but that isn’t a bad thing, it’s not a repeated figure, it’s a Masterlise and it’s a rare piece, so will give you the value when you pull it as well!
Prize D (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 14th
Prize Rating:
Bakugo also has another figure in the set and also with no effect, also Masterlise and rare piece, but the cool thing is that you actually see him with a serious facial expression unlike most of his past figure, I wouldn’t mind keeping this if I do pull it.
Prize E (26 pieces)
Design: 4 small, 4 long
Distribution: 2 x 4 pieces each. 6 x 3 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
I guess we have to deal with the towels once again, but the long towel looks cool, they have the hero’s logo and outfit design and also the UA uniform. The small towels looks decent, I mean they could have done the same design to make this prize more appealing, but oh well, luckily they are not the focus here!
Prize F (26 pieces)
Design: 12
Distribution: Bakugo and Midoriya x 3 pieces each. 10 others x 2 pieces each. Blind box.
Prize Rating:
Wow the rubber charm this time round looks great! They are 10cm long, so not bad for a size of a charm! The design feature the main characters, the heros and the villains and their name beside it, which I feel looks special and definitely better than some of their past designs!
Prize G (22 pieces)
Design: 10
Distribution: Midoriya and Bakugo x 3 pieces each. The other 8 x 2 pieces each. Blind box.
Prize Rating:
Yes!!! The Chokokko mini figures are finally here for MHA! We have an amazing line up for our first wave of figures! We have the main characters, the 2 heroes as well as 4 villains, I believe the villains and Uraraka will be exclusive to this set, but it’s okay you can go ahead and collect all 10 of them! Even if the rest comes out again in the future, they will make different outfit or expression so you will be getting something entirely different! Definitely the main attraction for this set!
Last Prize / Double Chance
Prize Rating:
I think MHA Last prizes they are going with the shiny coated variant, which I think it’s super cool and if you didn’t manage to pull Prize B Bakugo, you can go for a buyout. If you want this cool variant or if the board has left with lots of mini figure, you can buyout and get this figure along with it! You can look out for a 10- buyout with at least 3 mini figures inside or 16- with at least 1 other big figure inside and at least 5 mini figures.
You will be able to win this via double chance!

Conclusion
A bettet than average Kuji, I think the main draw to this set is definitely the mini figures. They charms are cool enough too to make the value of the set better. The towels could be better and also the variation of the top prize by having more characters will make the set way better, but no complains here, at least we are getting something good!
Odds
Let’s calculate your odds to get the following with one ticket from a fresh board!
Chance to get a top prize (A to D): 6 / 80 = 7.5%, lower than average
Chance to get a figure prize (A to D or G): 28 / 80 = 35%, excellent!
Recommendation
3 tickets for a chance at a figure or lookout for a good buyout! Or if you are intending to collect the mini figures, go for a 30 tickets buy! You should get at least 10 mini figures and some big figures then do some trades to complete your set!
Collectibles? : The mini figures are definitely worth collecting, all 10 of them, I doubt all of them will repeat in the future and even if they do, they won’t be this variant, so go ahead and collect them! The big figures are good to keep if you pull them, but no harm skipping them as we will definitely see more Midoriya and Bakugo in the future. The charms are good to collect too if you are a hardcore fan, you can just pull them along the way while building your mini figure collection!
