Bandai – Ichiban Kuji Hokuto no Ken (Masterlise)

In June 2026, in the wake of the new anime series, Bandai dedicates an Ichiban Kuji lottery to Hokuto no Ken. Under the title Fist of the North Star, this lottery features three high-end figures from the Masterlise line, accompanied by a series of busts and goodies.

Three Masterlise figures

The heart of the lottery rests on three pieces from the Masterlise line, the premium range of the Ichiban Kuji. Prize A goes to Kenshiro and Prize B to Rei, both standing approximately twenty-six centimeters tall. The Last Chance prize, reserved for the person who draws the final ticket, offers an imposing Raoh standing twenty-seven centimeters tall, with musculature as massive as the character demands.

The busts of the four brothers

Lot D offers a series of four busts dedicated to the four Hokuto brothers: Kenshiro, Toki, Jagi, and Raoh. Standing approximately seven centimeters tall, they feature metallic paint and customized bases for each brother. The rest of the lottery consists of everyday items: mugs, towels, pouches, and collectible acrylics.

The return of a sculptor, twenty-five years later

One detail will delight connoisseurs. The Last Chance Raoh was sculpted by Tomohide Enoki of the Eyewater studio, a longtime veteran of the license. The sculptor himself shared that he had not sculpted a Raoh in roughly twenty-five years, nostalgically recalling the joy of revisiting the character. A nod to the passage of time for a craftsman who has been working on Hokuto no Ken figures since their earliest days.

Finding them today

Distributed at Lawson, in bookstores, and in specialty shops starting June 20, 2026, this lottery quickly sold out its tickets. The Masterlise figures, and especially the Last Chance Raoh, now circulate on the secondhand market, where prices reflect their rarity.
