Series Sequel: 90th One Piece Kuji set! 1st in 2023
We have our first One Piece Kuji in 2023! Wow that’s really long, and congrats on the anime having it’s 90th Kuji set, a caliber that no one can beat as of now! This set will feature 3 Dragons, so if you are sick of the Straw Hat crew, fret not, you won’t see them here! Let’s see what we have here!
For full prize list, do visit One Piece Ichiban Kuji Prize Index List
Prize A (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: Debut
Prize Rating:
Starting the set we have Momonosuke in his Dragon state. It’s always good to welcome a new character into the series! The figure is Soul King statue, they are known for making good animal figures and Momonosuke does look great here. If you have been collecting the dragons for this series, you will definitely want this as well. The figure stands at 14cm tall, although it looks small, the proportion is similar to Kaido dragon, so you won’t feel any improportion. There is only 1 piece in the set though, so do make sure that the odds are not too bad before playing!
Prize B (4 pieces)
Top Prize Appearance: 6th, Debut in Beast Form!
Prize Rating:
Next we have Yamato, who is also in her beast form. What is great is that the figure does look good together if you place them side by side. If you like the animal form of the characters, you would need to get this as well. She stands at 13cm tall and also Soul King Statue, smaller figure but nice to display, I would prefer the details instead of the weight and size just for the sake of it.
Prize C (4 pieces)
Top Prize Appearance: 2nd
Prize Rating:
Next we have Momonosuke once again but the smaller dragon form. It’s a good collectible item too if you are into the animals. It’s also Soul King Statue. The figure is the smallest in this set at 7.5cm tall but very adorable and it’s easier to pull it since there are 4 pieces of it. 8 figures in a 80 tickets set, so I think it’s fine given that recently they have reduced figure ratio.
Prize D (20 pieces)
Design: 8
Distribution: 4 x 3 pieces each. 4 x 2 pieces. Blind box.
Prize Rating:
We move into the small prizes and we kick things off with Tumbler. The tumbler is 12cm tall so long enough to have a cup of drink and it’s a useful prize, so nothing bad upon pulling this. The design wise we have a lot of characters such as Momosuke, Yamato, Marco, Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, King and both forms of Kaido, so no main characters which I think feels fresh! It also makes it nicer to display since all of these characters does not commonly appear in the past Tumbler design!
Prize E (30 pieces)
Design: 12
Distribution: 6 x 3 pieces each. 6 x 2 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
Next up we have Art Board and the art looks fantastic! We have Momonosuke and Yamato beast form and the others with at least 2 characters in it, the art looks so well and I think if you are a fan you would have appreciated it! Do pick your favorite and you most likely will be spoilt for choices!
Prize F (22 pieces)
Design: 8
Distribution: 6 x 3 pieces each. 2 x 2 pieces each. Blind box.
Prize Rating:
Lastly we have rubber charm, the design wise we have characters from this set and also Marco, Kikunojo, Shinobu, Nekomamushi, Luffy and Kaido. Design wise is quite nice, it has a bit of a adorable feels but I do hope we have more designs.
Last Prize / Double Chance
Prize Rating:
I am so thankful that the last prize is Momonosuke Great Dragon! It’s the same exact figure with the additional 1cm Luffy figure, nothing too exciting, just a small little difference, if you do want the 1cm figure or you can’t pull Prize A, then a buyout would be ideal. You can look for a 10- buyout or 17- with at least B or C inside.
Also don’t rush to buyout just yet, if you have played a few tickets, do test your luck with the double chance first!
Grading
Big Prize
All are Soul King Statue, will be perfect if we have a balanced distribution.
Small Prize
Good small prizes that fans can appreciate.
Last Prize
A Momonosuke figure is never bad, and it also has one more small thing inside.
Variety of Prize
Could have more small prizes and designs and also more figures, but quite decent.
Odds of big prizes
8 figures in 80 tickets, no complaints.
Value for Money
The tickets are more costly but the prizes are decent enough, just not too much of a value.
Collector’s Value
See below
Overall: B
Conclusion
Whew, we have 8 figures in 80 tickets, so we are not being shortchanged by Bandai. We have new characters or at least new forms for collectors, things definitely could be better, but at least it’s not a bad Kuji set.
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 C): 8 / 80 =10%, average
Recommendation
3 tickets for a chance at the figure or get a good buyout, hopefully with Yamato inside.
