Ichiban Kuji Precure ~Endless Grace~: Cure Dream, Milky Rose, and What Collectors Should Know
Bandai Spirits is bringing the Yes! Precure 5 era back to the prize-figure shelf. "Ichiban Kuji Precure ~Endless Grace~" is scheduled to launch on September 26, 2026, at Lawson convenience stores and official Ichiban Kuji shops, with the Ichiban Kuji ONLINE draw following on October 19. Each try is priced at 770 yen (tax included). For fans who grew up with the mid-2000s magical-girl boom, this is one of the most nostalgia-forward lottery sets of the season.
Ichiban Kuji is Japan's guaranteed-win prize lottery: every ticket you buy returns a physical prize, so there are no blanks. That format has made it one of the most reliable ways to land anime figures without the roulette of a gachapon capsule or the wait of a made-to-order release.
The headline prizes: Cure Dream and Milky Rose
The A Prize is a Cure Dream figure, and the Last One Prize (awarded to whoever draws the final ticket at a given store) is a Milky Rose figure. Both are built around a transformation-pose concept, capturing the characters mid-henshin rather than in a static standing pose. Coverage from Dengeki Hobby Web and Inside describes them as graceful, movement-driven sculpts designed to be displayed as a pair.
Cure Dream is the lead Cure of Yes! Precure 5 (2007), while Milky Rose is the fan-favorite sixth warrior introduced in the sequel series, Yes! Precure 5 GoGo!. Pairing the team's leader with its breakout later addition gives the set a clear "beginning and evolution" throughline that longtime fans will recognize immediately.
A full lineup built for the Yes! Precure 5 team
Beyond the two large figures, the set leans into the whole GoGo! cast. According to the announcement, the middle tiers include deformed chibi-style mini figures of the full Cure team — Cure Dream, Cure Rouge, Cure Lemonade, Cure Mint, and Cure Aqua — plus Milky Rose, each packaged with tiny accessory props. Rounding things out are fairy plush mascots featuring Coco, Nuts, Milk, and Syrup, a Precure-mark bag charm, assorted fairy charms, pouches and hand towels, and sparkly clear stickers. A Double Chance Campaign offers a separate Cure Dream and Milky Rose figure set to a limited number of applicants.
That mix — two premium figures on top, a broad spread of small collectibles below — is what makes an Ichiban Kuji set fun to chase: even a mid-tier draw lands something displayable.
Why this one matters for collectors
New Precure merchandise usually tracks the currently airing series, so a dedicated set built entirely around the Yes! Precure 5 generation is a genuine nostalgia play. Milky Rose in particular rarely gets premium figures, which tends to push demand on the aftermarket once a lottery sells through its stores. If you have a soft spot for the 2007–2008 run, this is a set worth watching before it disappears from shelves.
Collecting Ichiban Kuji from outside Japan
Ichiban Kuji prizes are store-draw exclusives in Japan and can be hard to reach for overseas fans once the in-store stock is gone. If you are building an Ichiban Kuji shelf, browse Akibato's Ichiban Kuji collection for prize figures shipped worldwide, or explore the wider anime figures collection for display pieces across series. A handy tip for small items like mini figures, plush mascots, and charms: Akibato charges shipping by total parcel weight rather than per item, so a few small collectibles can travel together for roughly the same cost as one — worth keeping in mind when you round out an order.
