Ichiban Kuji: Selectable prizes for non-blinds small prizes. Double chance included if your country carries this Kuji.
Series Sequel: 25th My Hero Academia Kuji, 7th in 2022
Well I think MHA is going on a roll this year with so many releases! This time round we have more heroes and characters added, looks like a promising set so let’s dive right into it!
For past Kuji prizes, do check out My Hero Academia Ichiban Kuji Prize Index List
Prize A (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 16th
Prize Rating:
Of course we kick things off with Midoriya, as expected. Midoriya, although very commonly release has a good looking figure. This pose is similar to the Masterlise figure previously released in Fight On set, but the figure is our standard smaller figure, at 16.5cm tall, nothing bad about pulling this, I mean it’s now a rare piece so at least we are not being given a lot of main characters thrown to us.
Prize B (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 16th
Prize Rating:
Bakugo also appears that often and his figure resembles the one in Let’s Begin, no fancy action pose, just him standing and showcasing his powers seems like a good figure. Slightly taller at 17.5cm, again rare piece in a set so no harm pulling it!
Prize C (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: Debut!
Prize Rating:
Yes we are getting a new character! Tokoyami along with Dark Shadow makes their debut for MHA series as a top prize! They look great and I am a fan of double figure prizes so you are indirectly getting 2 characters for a ticket! How cool is that! Definitely the piece that everyone is eyeing for and this means that we might eventually get everyone from Class 1A!
Prize D (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 3rd
Prize Rating:
Next we have Eraser Head and this scene is from the latest arc of the anime where he jumps away while using his quirk! Very different pose from his previous releases so definitely a good figure to pull! Figure is 12.5cm tall but that’s because he is not standing straight, comes with a base and stand to make this pose possible. Also a rare figure.
Prize E (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: Debut!
Prize Rating:
I love it when we have a lot of debuting characters in a set, we are finally getting Present Mic! He looks great, no effect or so but you can see that he is using his quirk with his mouth wide open. 13cm tall and this is also another figure that I think will be popular for collectors, so do check and ensure that it is available before buying if you want to win this!
Prize F (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 4th
Prize Rating:
Next is the No 1 Hero Endeavour and he looks amazing, this is his finishing blow pose and he is literally on fire! Very cool figure and even if you pull previous versions of him I think it’s not bad to pull this version too given the overall quality of the figure and also this is a new pose compared to past figures! 18cm tall, one of the taller figure in the set. Also rare piece.
Prize G (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 5th
Prize Rating:
Hawks is always amazing, this time round he has his flight combat pose so very different from previous releases. His wings are also different as if he is swinging down with his move. Figure stands at 16.5cm tall and comes with base and stand for his flight pose.
Prize H (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 2nd
Prize Rating:
Mirko has a great appearance the other time when the Top 5 set releases, she is back again and this time round no fancy pose just a serious and ready to fight pose. She stands at 15cm tall and if you missed the previous releases now would be a good time to get her!
Prize I (4 pieces)
Design: 4
Distribution: 4 x 1 Piece each. Blind box.
Prize Rating:
Before hopping into the small prizes, we have a consolation prize in the form of Twice Magnet Head! He looks great here, each magnet is 5cm tall and all have different expression of Twice. Very amazing and definitely a prize that can cover your ticket cost!
Prize J (24 pieces)
Design: 12
Distribution: 12 x 2 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
Next we have folder and sticker set, so yes you are getting 2 prizes for 1 ticket. Each prize you will get a character shadow and a sticker corresponding to that character with their head art. Nice touch not too bad, just hope they can make continuation prizes instead of new designs for every small prizes.
Prize K (22 pieces)
Design: 10
Distribution: 2 x 3 pieces each. 8 x 2 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
Again I am not a fan of towels but this time round we have long towels featuring heroes and villains, we have 5 villains and 5 heroes so a fair balance for once. Well at least for the price you paid for a ticket they are giving you a long towel.
Prize L (22 pieces)
Design: 12
Distribution: 10 x 2 pieces each. 2 x 1 piece each. Blind box.
Prize Rating:
Lastly we have charms as usual for every MHA set. The design looks different, each character has their own color but what I feel was a bit of a let down is that each of their names are covered up by their faces, hope they will continue this series of charms with more characters in the future.
Last Prize / Double Chance
Prize Rating:
Oh yes we are not getting a Last Prize that is Midoriya or Bakugo! Mirko is being featured instead, so you can go for a buyout if you are unable to pull Prize H. This is a shiny variant, looks nice and you can even consider getting both variants into your collection! You can look for a 8- buyout or 14- with at least one other non Midoriya or Bakugo figure!
You will also be able to win this via double chance!

Conclusion
Very nice MHA set and I am glad that the figures look great, even the main characters that are repeated are nice and we have new characters being featured. The Magnet Head is really a fresh prize to get for collectors and casual buyers, the only downfall probably would be the lack of innovation on the small prizes, hope we get better things in the future!
Odds
Let’s calculate your odds to get the following with one ticket from a fresh board!
Chance to get a figure prize (A to H): 8 / 80 =10%, average
Recommendation
3 tickets for a chance at the figure or at least a magnet head!
Collectibles?
The Real Deal: Present Mic and Tokoyami are a must for collector, I don’t think they will be release in the future so it’s a good time to get your hands on them now!
Nice to have: The Magnet heads are one of the good things about this set, you don’t have to get all 4 but anyone of the design would be a good add on to your collection, or even a nice piece to stick on your computer or fridge!
Collect only if you don’t already have: All other figures are repeated characters so get them if you don’t have their previous releases or you like the design from this set.
Skippable: Sadly all the small prizes at this point are skippable solely because they don’t have any continuation from the previous small prizes and they probably wouldn’t have continuation in upcoming ones, but again, no need to collect just keep the designs you like!
