Ichiban Kuji Pokémon Masters EX 7th Anniversary: Sygna Suit Red, Two Lillie Figures, and What Collectors Should Know
BANDAI SPIRITS is giving Pokémon Masters EX its first-ever Ichiban Kuji, and it lands at Japanese retailers on August 29, 2026. Built to celebrate the mobile game's seventh anniversary, the lottery is headlined by a roughly 28 cm Sygna Suit Red & Charizard figure and includes two different Lillie figures — a genuine treat for fans who have followed the game's ever-growing roster of trainers.
Each draw costs 850 yen and prizes are sold on a first-come, first-served basis at bookstores, hobby shops, select drugstores, Pokémon Centers, and the official Ichiban Kuji shop across Japan. Here is what collectors are chasing.
The full prize lineup
The set runs from Prize A through Prize G, plus a Last One Prize awarded to whoever draws the final ticket at a given store:
- A Prize — Sygna Suit Red & Charizard (MASTERLISE PLUS): the centerpiece, roughly 28 cm, sculpted to evoke the buddy move “Living Legend Blast Burn.”
- B Prize — Lillie (21st Anniversary) & Lunala (MASTERLISE PLUS).
- C Prize — tote bag.
- D Prize — Trainer's Salon plush-style mini figure.
- E Prize — Memorial Photo mini art board.
- F Prize — Pokémon Masters art clear poster.
- G Prize — Buddies sticker collection.
- Last One Prize — Lillie (24th Anniversary) & Solgaleo (MASTERLISE PLUS).
That means three premium multi-character figures are up for grabs across the A, B, and Last One tiers — unusually generous even by Ichiban Kuji standards.
Why Sygna Suit Red and Lillie headline the set
Pokémon Masters EX, the free-to-play mobile RPG that launched in 2019, pairs famous trainers from across the series with their signature Pokémon as “sync pairs.” Its anniversary “Sygna Suit” costumes — special formalwear-style outfits given to marquee trainers — have become some of the game's most iconic looks, so seeing Sygna Suit Red rendered in three dimensions alongside Charizard is exactly the kind of moment long-time players hoped for.
Lillie earns double billing for good reason: she is one of the game's most beloved characters, and this kuji pairs her anniversary variants with both box-art legendaries of Pokémon Sun and Moon — Lunala in the B Prize and Solgaleo in the Last One Prize. Collectors who care about display symmetry now have a reason to chase the whole lineup rather than a single figure.
What “MASTERLISE PLUS” and Ichiban Kuji mean for collectors
Ichiban Kuji is a guaranteed-win lottery: every ticket you buy returns a prize, with no blanks, and the headline figures sit at the top tiers. MASTERLISE PLUS is Bandai Spirits' premium prize-figure line, using detailed sculpts and paintwork that rival standalone releases — which is why A Prize and Last One figures from popular sets often command aftermarket premiums once stock sells through.
Because Ichiban Kuji is a Japan retail exclusive sold while supplies last, overseas fans usually can't simply walk into a store on launch day. The realistic paths are ordering from an importer or hunting the secondary market after August 29, where the Red and Lillie figures are the most likely to spike in demand.
