Ichiban Kuji Pokemon 30th ANNIVERSARY Re-Release Set for December

Bandai will re-release two volumes of the Ichiban Kuji Pokemon 30th ANNIVERSARY lottery in December. Vol.1 is scheduled for sequential release starting December 14, and vol.2 on December 25, each priced at 750 yen per draw. The re-release follows the original launch of vol.1 in May and vol.2 in July, which the company decided to bring back due to popularity. Each volume commemorates the 30th anniversary of Pokemon and features a lineup centered on the first three Pokemon of each region. Vol.1 includes goods such as Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, plus a large-sized Pikachu plush toy as the Last One Prize, approximately 50cm tall in its male form. Vol.2 offers a similar structure with a Pikachu female form plush toy as its Last One Prize. Product pages have opened ahead of the sale. The announcement came via the official Ichiban Kuji social media account on August 5, 2026, with a notice that the re-release was decided because of the line's popularity.
