BANDAI SPIRITS' immensely popular 'Ichiban Kuji' brand, known for its guaranteed-win lottery, recently announced a brand new product series, 'Ichiban Lab'. The first release features numerous prizes and merchandise themed around 'Detective Conan', with draws scheduled to begin on December 9, 2022!
The new 'Ichiban Lab' series shares the same sales method and gameplay as regular Ichiban Kuji products. The difference lies in 'Ichiban Lab's' attempt to inspire consumers' desire to learn, alongside offering enticing prizes. Each prize comes with an explanatory booklet detailing the principles behind the item, such as how a voice changer achieves its effect, or why a cushion feels so elastic, etc. This allows consumers to not only play with toys but also research their principles, gaining more knowledge about everyday phenomena!
