Ichiban Kuji Dragon Ball SPIRIT OF THE SAIYAN: A Family-Themed Lineup Collectors Should Watch
Ichiban Kuji Dragon Ball SPIRIT OF THE SAIYAN is Bandai Spirits' next Dragon Ball prize-lottery, set to launch in mid-October 2026 at 790 yen per draw. Rather than spotlighting a single hero, this entry builds its entire lineup around Goku's bloodline — a "Saiyan family" theme that runs from Goku's father all the way down to his youngest son. For collectors, that framing turns a routine kuji into a cohesive display set worth planning around.
Ichiban Kuji is Japan's popular "no-lose" lottery format: every ticket wins a numbered prize, from headline figures down to smaller goods, plus a coveted Last One Prize for whoever draws the final ticket. In Japan, this series is slated for convenience-store and retail channels including Seven-Eleven and Ito-Yokado, and international Ichibansho versions of the figures are turning up for pre-order in the West.
A Saiyan Family in MASTERLISE: the A–E Figures
The top five prizes are all sculpted in Bandai Spirits' premium MASTERLISE line, which is known for dynamic posing and clean paintwork. The A Prize is Son Goku and the B Prize is Super Saiyan Son Gohan, both captured mid-Kamehameha, according to Japanese outlets covering the reveal. The C Prize is Son Goten, while the D and E Prizes round out the family tree with Goku's father Bardock and his brother Raditz.
That Bardock-and-Raditz pairing is the detail seasoned fans will notice first. Raditz in particular is a rare figure subject — he is usually skipped in favor of flashier Super Saiyan forms — so a MASTERLISE sculpt of him alongside Bardock gives long-time collectors a reason to chase the lower prize tiers rather than just the A Prize.
The Last One Prize and the Smaller Tiers
The Last One Prize is a Son Goku & Son Gohan MASTERLISE PLUS piece, reported at roughly 21 cm, depicting Goku carrying a young Gohan on his back atop the Flying Nimbus. It's a nostalgic, early-Dragon-Ball-Z image that leans hard into the family theme, and Last One Prizes are typically the hardest to obtain — they go to the last ticket in a set, so the secondary market usually decides who ends up with one.
Below the figures, the F–J tiers cover everyday collectible goods: a figure magnet, a pouch, an acrylic stand, a rubber assortment, and a die-cut towel. A Double Chance Campaign also offers another shot at the Goku & Gohan MASTERLISE PLUS piece for those who register eligible tickets.
Why the Cadence Matters for Collectors
Dragon Ball has been one of the most consistently productive franchises in the Ichiban Kuji ecosystem, and SPIRIT OF THE SAIYAN is only the latest in a steady 2026 run of themed sets. Japanese coverage of the reveal noted fans reacting to just how often the Goku family keeps returning to the prize shelves this year. For buyers, that frequency is a double-edged sword: figures are easier to find at launch, but hero-tier pieces like Goku and Super Saiyan Gohan tend to appreciate once the kuji sells through and stock dries up. If a particular sculpt matters to your shelf, the launch window is usually the calmest time to secure it.
Because Ichiban Kuji stock is finite and region-locked, overseas collectors often rely on import specialists to land specific tiers rather than gambling on individual draws — especially for a Last One Prize that can't be bought directly.
Where to Collect Dragon Ball Right Now
If SPIRIT OF THE SAIYAN has you eyeing a Saiyan-family display, it's a good moment to see what's already available. Browse Dragon Ball figures and collectibles at Akibato, which ships from Japan worldwide, or explore the store's wider Ichiban Kuji lineup to see which lottery prizes are in stock. Building a themed shelf around one series is often easier when you can see the pieces side by side before the next kuji wave lands.
