Sgt. Frog Ichiban Kuji Vol.2 (2026): 13 Prizes and Keroro Plush

Sgt. Frog Ichiban Kuji Vol.2 (2026): 13 Prizes and Keroro Plush

The second Sgt. Frog Ichiban Kuji of 2026 is out, and it turns the whole Keroro Platoon into collectible figures. Officially titled Ichiban Kuji Keroro Gunso: Fukkatsu shite Sokkou Vol.2 ("Sgt. Frog: Back and Attacking Fast, Vol.2"), it runs 13 prize tiers built around the anime's early opening march. This guide breaks down every prize in the Sgt. Frog Ichiban Kuji, the size of each figure, what it costs per draw, and how collectors outside Japan can actually get one.

All prize names, sizes, and dates below come from the official BANDAI SPIRITS lottery site and Japanese hobby press. Prices and availability shift, so treat the numbers as accurate at launch and check the retailer before you buy.

What is the Sgt. Frog Ichiban Kuji Vol.2?

Ichiban Kuji is a Japanese "last-one-wins" prize lottery: you pay a fixed fee per draw and always take home a prize, from small goods up to headline figures. This set is the second wave of Keroro Ichiban Kuji in the summer of 2026, following the first wave that landed alongside the franchise's 20th-anniversary theatrical film in late June. Each draw of Sgt. Frog Ichiban Kuji Vol.2 costs 730 yen (tax included), and there are 13 tiers, A through L plus a Last One Prize.

As the name suggests, this is a fast follow-up: the first Keroro Ichiban Kuji of 2026 had barely finished rolling out when Vol.2 was announced, which is unusual for a single franchise in one summer. That pace is a signal in itself, telling collectors the maker expects steady demand around the anniversary rather than a one-off spike.

The timing is not an accident. 2026 is a comeback year for Keroro: the 20th-anniversary movie opened in Japan on June 26, 2026, and a rebooted TV series, Keroro Gunso ☆, premieres on October 3, 2026 with a fresh voice cast. If you want the full picture of the revival, see our guide to Sgt. Frog's 2026 movie and new TV anime. The Ichiban Kuji is the merchandise arm of that push, and Akibato ships the Sgt. Frog Ichiban Kuji figures from Japan through its Ichiban Kuji collection if you are building that Keroro shelf.

All 13 prizes in Sgt. Frog Ichiban Kuji Vol.2

The lineup leads with a diorama-style A-Prize, then gives each Keroro Platoon member its own figure, and rounds out with everyday goods. Sizes are approximate, as listed by BANDAI SPIRITS.

A-Prize: the marching Keroro Platoon figure

The A-Prize, "Kero! Marching Figure" (Kero! to Koushin Figure), is the centerpiece. It recreates the platoon marching in formation from the anime's early opening sequence, standing about 15cm tall. It is the tallest and most detailed piece in the set, and the one most collectors chase.

B to F Prizes: the five Keroro Platoon figures

Prizes B through F give each squad member a standalone figure, each about 11cm tall and posed on a flying-saucer base:

  • B-Prize — Sergeant Keroro figure (approx. 11cm)
  • C-Prize — Private Tamama figure (approx. 11cm)
  • D-Prize — Corporal Giroro figure (approx. 11cm)
  • E-Prize — Sergeant Major Kululu (Kururu) figure (approx. 11cm)
  • F-Prize — Lance Corporal Dororo figure (approx. 11cm)

Because the whole platoon is split across five tiers, completing the squad is the main collecting goal here. That is different from a single hero figure set, and it is worth knowing before you decide how many draws to buy.

G to L Prizes: glasses, mini figures, and goods

The lower tiers are practical goods that are easy to display or use:

  • G-Prize — Color Bottom Glass (approx. 8cm)
  • H-Prize — "Invasion!" Mini Figure (approx. 4.5cm)
  • I-Prize — Neck Strap (approx. 54cm, three designs)
  • J-Prize — Acrylic Charm (approx. 5cm)
  • K-Prize — Rubber Collection, retro TV-style (approx. 7.5–10cm)
  • L-Prize — Sticker Set (four sheets, approx. 5cm)

Last One Prize: the big Keroro plush

The Last One Prize, "Grab-Me!? Keroro Plush" (Washizukami!? Keroro Nuigurumi), is a large plush about 50cm long, awarded to whoever draws the final ticket in a lot. If you are new to how that works, our explainer on the Ichiban Kuji Last One Prize covers why it is often the hardest piece to secure. There is also a Double Chance Campaign running through October 31, 2026, giving 30 additional winners an A-Prize-equivalent figure via a serial-number entry.

Price, release date, and where it sold

Here are the launch facts in one place, so any part of this article stands on its own:

  • Price: 730 yen per draw (tax included)
  • In-store release: July 4, 2026, rolling out across anime and hobby shops in Japan
  • Online release: July 27, 2026, via the official Ichiban Kuji Online store
  • Maker: BANDAI SPIRITS
  • Tiers: 13 (A–L plus Last One Prize)

Ichiban Kuji sets are made in fixed lots and are not restocked, so once shops sell through their allocation, the only route is the secondary market or an import store that reserved stock early.

How to buy Sgt. Frog Ichiban Kuji outside Japan

Ichiban Kuji is sold physically in Japan and through Japan-only online lotteries, which is why overseas fans usually rely on proxy services or import stores that draw on their behalf. We walk through both routes in our guide to how to buy Ichiban Kuji outside Japan.

One thing to check before you buy: prize scale. An 11cm prize figure is smaller than a boxed scale figure, so set your expectations by the sizes listed above rather than by the promo art. If you are unsure how prize figures compare, see our breakdown of anime figure scale sizes. When a set has sold out at retail, the practical option is a store that ships the figures from Japan.

Which Sgt. Frog prize should collectors chase?

For most fans, the goal falls into one of three buckets. If you want a single showpiece, the A-Prize marching figure is the best value at roughly 15cm and the only diorama-style piece. If you grew up with the platoon, chasing the full B–F squad gives you the classic five-frog display, though it takes the most draws or the most trading. And if you only care about the biggest, softest item, the Last One Keroro plush is the trophy, but it is also the least predictable to land.

Because this is a wave tied to a 20th-anniversary revival rather than a brand-new franchise, the strongest long-term picks are the character figures: they photograph well next to older Keroro merchandise and hold nostalgia value as the reboot brings in new fans this fall.
