I got most of the J prizes. I will list the other prizes here as well though.
A) Son Goku Ultra Instinct
This is a figure of Son Goku, awakened to Ultra Instinct at the Tournament of Power. The figure is made by Mr. Nakazawa’s craftsmanship, including sharply edged muscles and the shapes of wounds arranged in various places.
Complete the dream tag team by combining this with Vegeta from Prize B.
B) Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta
This is a figure of Vegeta, who does not yield an inch to Toppo, who has the power of a destructive god, exceeding his own limits by evolving himself now.
This work reproduces Vegeta’s characteristics shown in the anime, including the armor cracked due to fierce fights and bulged muscles.
Display the 2 rivals in their strongest forms together by combining it with Goku from prize A.
C) Super Saiyan Son Goku
Son Goku is awakened by his anger against Frieza and becomes a legendary Super Saiyan. He sends out a Kamehameha wave with all his might to Frieza, the strongest foe in the universe.
His clothes torn to ribbons due to mortal combat and he has dynamic posing.
D) Frieza
Frieza still does not accept the power that exceeds him though his pride is shattered by the overwhelming power of Goku, who has become a Super Saiyan. A powerful figure of Frieza, who challenges Goku, a threat that has suddenly appeared, with all his might in an effort to destroy it.
This figure uses elaborate yet heroic forms to represent Frieza as he raises his fist dynamically and it has ferocious muscles and fine blood vessels.
E) Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Gogeta
A figure of Gogeta, who fights the ultimate battle against Broly, the strongest Saiyan.
Yuki Iwagane paid particular attention to each and every one of the wrinkles on the trousers as he designs Gogeta’s unique costume, including the pose of Gogeta as he is just about going to crash against Broly.
F) Super Saiyan Broly (Full Power) (DBS)
This is a figure of Broly as he heightens his power to its limit driven by his irrepressible impetus to fight and brings down his fist with all his might.
As exemplified by the formation of muscles that appear to have unfathomable power and the expression of the character who widely opens his mouth and roars fiercely, it looks almost alive.
G) Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Son Goku
Goku is confronted with Broly, who increases his fighting power with extraordinary speed, with all his might.
H) Super Saiyan Broly (DBS)
Broly is awakened by the death of his father Paragus and becomes a Super Saiyan. This is Ichiban Kuji’s first figure of Broly in three dimensions as he is a step before he is a maximum power. Baa’s ears wound around his waist are formed organically, and combat uniform is formed in a way that makes it look cold and inhuman.
I) Collection of glasses with famous words in Sumi style
These are glasses with characters powerfully painted by the sumi painter on them. Furthermore, each character’s famous words are printed on the back of each glass.
J) Original memorial art
All unforgettable, famous scenes, reprinted from the original animation drawings. Furthermore, they are gorgeously framed.
I got 7/8.

K) Clear files–History of Son Goku
Newly created designs enables users to enjoy the history of Goku’s growth.
From the one immediately after he arrived on the earth from the planet Vegeta to the one in which he reached Ultra Instinct through mortal battle.
Last One) Son Goku (Ultra Instinct) variant
Goku Ultra Instinct but this time around, with an unique color of hair and Goku with an undershirt on. There may be other parts that are different compared to Prize A, but you’ll have to compare yourself.
I always loved animation, and seeing the early storyboards, sketches, genga, douga and cells are amazing and like holding a real piece of animation history.
However, I always felt like the responsibility to preserve these would be too much, and they are quite expensive.
So when I saw these official prints of them I knew these would be the ones I could collect safely.
I managed to score an almost full set of Prize Js quite cheap, probably because it was missing 1. Sadly it was the one I would have liked the most.
And although I don’t need all of them, I’m very glad to have the 2 from Dragonball Z to add to my collection now. I don’t care much for Dragonball Super, but I like Vegeta so I’m keeping that one for now. And the Super Saiyan Blue Goku from the Broly movie as well, as I did like the Broly movie’s style, and in douga he almost looks like a regular Super Saiyan.
The other 3 however, I am selling off. My brother claimed the Ultra Instinct one, so that leaves Broly and Frieza up for grabs.
I don’t care much for the rest of the Ichiban Kuji prizes here. I’m not a fan of the fighting statues, nor do I need more glassware. Clear files are always handy to have, but I’m not fussed about these in particular.
If you’re into statues, or like animation, this Ichiban Kuji is great.
If you rather have poseable figures or non flat merchandise, you’d give these a miss.
Got any more details / information you think I should add? Or did I get something wrong? Do you own any of these prizes? Which one is your fav? Do you agree or disagree with my findings? Let me know in the comments below!
