Ichiban Kuji: Selectable prizes for non-blinds small prizes. Double chance included if your country carries this Kuji.
Series Sequel: 6th QQ Kuji, third in 2022
It’s a splendid year for the Quintuplets as this is the third set this year, this set will be based on their latest movie! They usually have great prizes, the previous set was a bit different, but the figurines are back! So let’s see what is in store for us!
Prize A/B/C/D/E (2 pieces each)
Top Prize Appearance: 4th for all
Design: 5
Distribution: 5 x 2 pieces each. You get what you pull, each character will be indicated in the tickets.
Prize Rating:
Well this is the prizes that everyone would want! Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba and Isuki are back and they are all in their kitchen outfit! Maybe not so much on the outfit, just their casual outfit with an apron, kitchen slippers and different cooking equipment, each has a different one and very distinct color and you will either be getting your favorite character or a set, regardless, very nice figure, each has a base and stands 18cm tall! Delightful!
Prize F/G/H/I/J (5 pieces each)
Design: 5
Distribution: 5 x 2 pieces each. You get what you pull, each character will be indicated in the tickets.

Next we have illustration board to kick off the small prize section, and they are not small at all, they are B5 in size and I think the bad thing (or maybe not that bad) is that you cannot choose the design, each sister design is printed in a different ticket, so you need to pull the corresponding ticket to get a particular design. That aside, the designs are all great, each one looks elegant and I think if you are a fan you would appreciate the art, nothing bad for a small prize!
Prize K (15 pieces)
Design: 5
Distribution: 5 x 3 pieces each. Blind box.
Prize Rating:
I will never find mini figures a bad thing! The Chokokko figures feature the Quintuplets and this time round they are dressed in the outfit similar to their big figurines! You can place each sister with their corresponding figures and they will look amazing! The mini figures are not as easy to pull, you can keep the ones you like or just get all 5 as a set!
Prize L (30 pieces)
Design: 10
Distribution: 10 x 3 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
Lastly we have the charms to close off the small prize section. They are not bad, they are consistent to previous releases, the Quintuplets are featured in 2 different outfits. You can pick your favorite so do go for a set of a pair of your favorites!
Last Prize / Double Chance
Prize Rating:
I always feel very flustered about QQ last prize, I mean they have very good big and small prizes, but they always have lackluster last prize. Don’t get me wrong, the art is fantastic, it’s a big illustration board at B5 in size, just won’t see too many people particularly interested in this if the top prizes are gone. Anyway if you really like it, do lookout for a 3- buyout or 10- with 1 figure inside!
Well it’s also a double chance prize, so you might win it along with your other prizes!

Overall: B
Conclusion
Well not a bad set, actually it’s slight better than average given that you have good chance of getting a figure (big or small) and a B5 illustration board, the charms are not that bad just hope you don’t pull that many to make your ticket cost a bit more valuable.
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 E): 10 / 80 = 12.5%, slightly higher than average.
Chance to get a figure prize (A to E or K): 25 / 80 = 31.5%, wow, way higher than average!
Recommendation
3 tickets for a chance at a figure or if you are a fan of QQ, do go for 5 tickets!
Collectibles? : Well as always, the figures are good to keep as a set, both the big and small. The art board is nice, you can keep a set too if you have the space, basically not too many things to keep, but hey quality over quantity!
