Gakuen Idolmaster Ichiban Kuji Part 7: Prizes, Date & 3 Figures
Ichiban Kuji Gakuen Idolmaster Part 7 is the seventh prize lottery in Bandai Spirits' long-running Gakumas kuji, and it goes on sale in Japan on December 12, 2026 at 850 yen per draw (tax included). The headline this time is three brand-new 1/7 scale Gracemaster figures: Lilja Katsuragi, Sumika Shiun, and Rinami Himesaki. Below is the full nine-tier lineup, what each of the top figures shows, how Part 7 differs from Part 6, and how collectors outside Japan can draw it. Every fact here is taken from the official Ichiban Kuji Club listing and Japanese hobby press; nothing about prizes, prices, or dates is guessed.
Gakuen Idolmaster Ichiban Kuji Part 7 at a Glance
Part 7 keeps the format that made earlier Gakumas kuji sell through quickly: three scale idol figures at the top, then a run of cheaper illustrated goods so almost every draw returns something usable. It is a single-price kuji, so you pay the same 850 yen whether you pull an A Prize figure or an H Prize acrylic stand.

Every Prize in Part 7: All 9 Tiers
Here is the complete lineup as listed by the official Ichiban Kuji Club and confirmed by Dengeki Hobby and Impress Hobby Watch. The three lettered figures are the reason most collectors buy in; the D through H tiers are illustrated merchandise drawn for the set.
| Tier | Prize |
|---|---|
| A | Lilja Katsuragi figure (1/7 Gracemaster) |
| B | Sumika Shiun figure (1/7 Gracemaster) |
| C | Rinami Himesaki figure (1/7 Gracemaster) |
| D | Kirarize mascot |
| E | Newly drawn mini nobori (flag) stand |
| F | Newly drawn rubber charm |
| G | Newly drawn clear file and sticker |
| H | Newly drawn acrylic stand |
| Last One | Sumika Shiun figure (1/7 Gracemaster, Last One Ver.) |
The E through H goods use fresh illustrations spread across the wider Gakumas idol roster, so even a low tier tends to feature an idol you like rather than a generic print. That mix is a big part of why these idol kuji clear shelves fast.
The D Prize Kirarize mascots and the drawn goods draw from a broad slice of the cast rather than only the three figure idols, which is why fans of unit members outside the top tier still find a reason to draw. In practice that means a single box can send different idols home to different collectors, and it keeps the cheaper tiers from feeling like filler. If you are new to Ichiban Kuji as a format, remember that there are no duplicate-proof guarantees within a box: two draws can return the same acrylic stand, so plan your spend around the specific item you actually want.
The 3 Gracemaster Figures Up Top
The A, B, and C prizes are all 1/7 scale figures in the Gracemaster line, Bandai Spirits' premium prize-figure standard for the Gakumas kuji. The Last One Prize adds a fourth scale figure, a recolored variant of the B Prize.
A Prize: Lilja Katsuragi (1/7 Gracemaster)
Lilja Katsuragi headlines Part 7 as the A Prize. She is one of the most requested idols in the game, and she previously anchored Part 4 as its A Prize, so returning collectors will recognize the pattern of building her out across sets. At 1/7 scale in the Gracemaster line she is the largest and most detailed pull in the box.
B Prize: Sumika Shiun (1/7 Gracemaster)
Sumika Shiun takes the B Prize, also a 1/7 Gracemaster figure. Because the Last One Prize is a Sumika variant, she is the only idol in Part 7 with two figures in the set, which makes her the character to plan around if you want a matched pair.
C Prize: Rinami Himesaki (1/7 Gracemaster)
Rinami Himesaki rounds out the trio at 1/7 scale. She is a newer face in the figure lineup, so Part 7 is one of the first chances to add a scale Rinami to a shelf rather than a smaller trading figure or acrylic.
Last One Prize: Sumika Shiun, Last One Ver.
The Last One Prize goes to whoever draws the final ticket in a box, and here it is a special Last One Ver. of Sumika Shiun at 1/7 Gracemaster scale. Bandai Spirits also runs a Double Chance campaign built around this same Sumika variant, giving buyers a second route to it by mail. If you are new to how these bonus tiers work, our explainer on what the Ichiban Kuji Last One Prize is and how to get one covers the mechanics.
What "Gracemaster" Means, and How Part 7 Differs From Part 6
Gracemaster is the naming Bandai Spirits uses for the top-grade 1/7 scale prize figures in the Gakumas kuji, the idol-series counterpart to the MASTERLISE branding on shonen-action kuji. In practice it signals a full 1/7 sculpt with detailed paintwork rather than a smaller prize figure.
Compared with the previous set, Part 7 is defined by its three-figure top tier and the Sumika-focused Last One. If you want to see how the line has evolved and which idols came before, read our earlier Gakuen Idolmaster Ichiban Kuji Part 6 guide. Part 7 also slots into the wider December schedule alongside other Bandai kuji; our December 2026 Ichiban Kuji calendar lays out every confirmed set and date side by side.
Which Part 7 Prize Should You Chase?
A single 850 yen draw is random, so most collectors decide up front what outcome would make the box worth repeating. Use the idol you care about, your budget, and sculpt value to pick a target.
If you want a specific idol
- Lilja fans: aim for the A Prize, the only Lilja figure in the set.
- Sumika fans: the B Prize and the Last One are both Sumika, giving you two shots at her.
- Rinami fans: the C Prize is the single Rinami figure and one of her first scale releases.
If you are on a budget
The D through H goods return on nearly every draw and cost the same 850 yen, so a few draws almost always leave you with charms, files, or an acrylic stand of a favorite idol. Treat any scale figure as upside rather than the expected result, and stop at a spend you set in advance.
If you want the best sculpt value
All three lettered figures are the same 1/7 Gracemaster grade, so "value" here is about which character you will actually display. Sumika is the statistical edge because two of the nine tiers are her, but the sculpt quality across A, B, and C is the same tier.
How to Draw Part 7 From Outside Japan
Ichiban Kuji is a physical, in-store lottery sold at Japanese convenience stores, hobby shops, and online kuji platforms, so overseas fans cannot pull tickets directly. The two realistic routes are a proxy or kuji service that draws on your behalf, or buying the specific prize you want on the secondary market after release. Our guide on how to buy Ichiban Kuji outside Japan walks through both.
Timing matters for both routes. Proxy and kuji services usually open reservations before or right at release on December 12, and slots for the popular A and B figures can fill fast, so it pays to line up a service ahead of the date rather than after. On the secondary market, single prizes tend to be at their most expensive in the first days after a kuji drops, then ease as more boxes are opened and loose figures reach resellers. If you are not chasing a specific launch-week pull, waiting a few weeks often lowers the price on the exact figure you want.
If you would rather skip the lottery entirely and buy a known figure, Akibato ships Gakumas and other Bandai Spirits prize figures worldwide from Japan.
Part 7 FAQ
When does Ichiban Kuji Gakuen Idolmaster Part 7 go on sale?
December 12, 2026, with a staggered rollout across participating stores and online kuji platforms in Japan. Exact stock timing varies by retailer.
How much is one draw?
850 yen per draw, tax included. It is a single-price kuji, so every ticket costs the same regardless of tier.
What is in the Last One and Double Chance?
Both center on the same prize: a Last One Ver. of Sumika Shiun at 1/7 Gracemaster scale. The Last One goes to the final ticket in a box; the Double Chance is a separate mail-in campaign for the same figure.
Do I need to buy the whole set?
No. Ichiban Kuji is drawn one ticket at a time, and there is no requirement to buy a full box. Overseas collectors who only want one figure often buy that single prize secondhand instead of drawing.
Are the Part 7 figures the same as Part 6?
No. Each Gakumas kuji rotates its top-tier idols, so Part 7's Lilja Katsuragi, Sumika Shiun, and Rinami Himesaki are new sculpts for this set rather than reissues of Part 6's figures. The Gracemaster grade and 1/7 scale carry over, but the characters and poses differ set to set. Our Part 6 guide, linked above, shows which idols led the previous release.
Where can I draw Part 7 in Japan?
Ichiban Kuji Gakuen Idolmaster typically appears at convenience stores, hobby and book shops, and online kuji platforms that stock Bandai Spirits lotteries. Availability rolls out from December 12, 2026 and varies by location, and popular idol sets can sell through their first allocation quickly, so stock timing is worth checking with individual retailers.
