Ichiban Kuji Ultraman 60th Anniversary: Every Prize and Zetton Figures

The Ichiban Kuji Ultraman 60th Anniversary is Bandai Spirits' milestone-year prize lottery, built around the tragic final episode of the 1966 series. This guide lists every prize from A to the Last One, the exact figure sizes, the price per draw, the release dates, and how collectors outside Japan can actually get one.

Two figures carry the set: a roughly 21 cm Ultraman and a roughly 23 cm Zetton, both from a brand-new modeling line called "Kuusou Nostalgio." Everything else in the tier list is affordable goods, so most collectors are here for those two sculpts — and, for tokusatsu fans, for the chance to stage the most famous defeat in the franchise's history.

What Is the Ichiban Kuji Ultraman 60th Anniversary Lottery?

The Ichiban Kuji Ultraman 60th Anniversary is a Bandai Spirits prize lottery, 900 yen (tax included) per draw, that debuts the new "Kuusou Nostalgio" figure brand with an Ultraman and a Zetton figure themed on the series' final episode. Every ticket wins a prize; there are no blanks.

Ichiban Kuji works differently from a booster box or a blind box: you buy a numbered ticket, and each ticket is tied to a specific prize tier that is still on the rack. As the higher tiers get claimed, the odds of the remaining draws shift, which is why serious collectors track how many A and B tickets are left before committing.

Online draws opened on the Ichiban Kuji Online platform on July 15, 2026 at 5:00 PM JST, and in-store sales began July 24, 2026 at Ultraman Shops and participating hobby retailers. The set marks 60 years since Ultraman first aired in July 1966.

Akibato ships the Ichiban Kuji Ultraman 60th Anniversary from Japan. If you are chasing the Zetton sculpt, you can check current availability in the Ichiban Kuji collection rather than gambling on a full case yourself.

Every Prize in the Ultraman 60th Anniversary Ichiban Kuji

The lineup runs from A prize down to G, plus a Last One Prize and a Double Chance figure. Only A, B, and the two Zetton variants are figures; C through G are display goods. Sizes below are the manufacturer's approximate figures.

A Prize: Ultraman "Kuusou Nostalgio" (about 21 cm)

The headline sculpt is Ultraman himself, roughly 21 cm tall, posed to recreate the mood of the final episode. Illustrator Shinji Nishikawa drew a special concept visual that the figure follows, so the pose and lighting are meant to feel like a single frame from the show rather than a generic hero stance. This is the piece most collectors will open a case chasing.

B Prize: Zetton "Kuusou Nostalgio" (about 23 cm)

Zetton is the taller of the two at about 23 cm, and it is built as a diorama rather than a lone figure. At its feet sit the Zetton alien, the spaceship, and clear flame-effect parts, staging the scene where Zetton defeated Ultraman. The base does a lot of the storytelling here, and it is the standout of the set for most buyers.

C to G Prizes: The Goods Tiers

The lower tiers are practical, affordable items rather than figures:

• C Prize — Donburi bowl (about 15 cm), carrying the 60th anniversary logo.
• D Prize — Eco bag (about 37 cm) with an inner pocket styled after the Beta Capsule.
• E Prize — "Eiyu Zukan" Hero Bust magnets, Ultra Heroes Vol.1, 6 types, about 5 cm each.
• F Prize — Poster collection, B3 size, 10 designs.
• G Prize — Acrylic stands, 20 types, about 8 cm, using the opening-credits silhouette motif.

Last One Prize: Zetton (Climax ver.)

The Last One Prize — awarded to whoever draws the final ticket at a given outlet — is a Zetton (Climax ver.) in the same roughly 23 cm Kuusou Nostalgio style. If you are new to how that final-ticket bonus works, see our explainer on the Ichiban Kuji Last One Prize.

Double Chance: A Second Shot at Climax Zetton

Bandai also ran a Double Chance campaign: entrants could apply for one of 30 units of the Zetton (Climax ver.) figure, with the campaign open through October 31, 2026. This variant adds a Science Patrol (Science Special Search-Party) base to suggest the final battle, so it is a slightly different display piece from the Last One version even though the sculpt is shared.

Who Made These Figures — and Why the Final Episode?

"Kuusou Nostalgio" is a new Bandai Spirits brand that reinterprets a series' world in three dimensions; the Ultraman 60th set is its debut. The name signals the intent — nostalgia rebuilt as a diorama — and the brand is expected to carry over to other titles if this launch lands well.

The two figures were sculpted under the supervision of Tsuburaya Productions' modeling division, LSS, with planning cooperation from Bin Furuya — the actor who wore the original Ultraman suit in 1966. Having the original suit actor involved is a deliberate authenticity signal for a 60th anniversary release, and it is the kind of detail that separates an anniversary set from a routine reissue.

The theme is Episode 39, "Farewell, Ultraman," in which the space dinosaur Zetton overpowers and defeats Ultraman before Zoffy carries him home. Pairing a 21 cm Ultraman with a 23 cm Zetton diorama lets collectors stage that exact confrontation on a shelf, which is why the two figures are designed to be displayed together rather than as separate pulls.

How to Buy the Ultraman 60th Anniversary Ichiban Kuji Outside Japan

Ichiban Kuji is sold as physical tickets inside Japan and, for a limited window, on Ichiban Kuji Online — neither of which ships internationally on its own. Overseas collectors have two realistic routes: a proxy or import service that draws and forwards prizes, or buying the specific prize you want on the secondary market.

A proxy will draw on your behalf and consolidate the win for international shipping, which is the only way to actually "play" the lottery from abroad. The trade-off is that you pay for the draw plus a service fee, and you still cannot choose which tier you pull. Buying a single loose prize removes the gamble but costs more per figure once a set has sold through.

Secondary prices settle quickly once a set sells out. At the time of writing, North American retailers listed the A prize Ultraman around US$59.99 and the B prize Zetton around US$69.99, though single-prize prices move with demand. For the full walkthrough of proxies, fees, and timing, read our guide on how to buy Ichiban Kuji outside Japan.

Which Prizes Should Collectors Chase?

For most buyers the answer is the B prize Zetton diorama: it is the largest, the most detailed, and the most faithful to the 60th anniversary theme. The A prize Ultraman is the natural companion, and the two read as a single scene together.

Note that these are Kuusou Nostalgio figures, not the premium MASTERLISE line you see in shonen kuji — the sculpt tier and finish are different, so judge them on their own diorama-focused terms rather than expecting a scale-figure finish. If tier names confuse you, our breakdown of what MASTERLISE means puts them in context.

Kaiju collectors chasing this set often also collect the newer Godzilla "Scariest Kaiju King" Ichiban Kuji, which pairs naturally with a Zetton shelf and shares the same diorama-first design language.
