Found this while browsing some image boards.
It seems a kuji lottery is in development for our shinki?

I'm really hoping this isn't the re-release we were waiting for. :( If that's the case then prices won't lower much if at all.

How could it be a rerelease? Ichiban Kuji is a line of figures of it's own. It's like MegaHouse announcing a Shinki Exellent Model and people thinking it's a reissue of a Konami action figure :P
It's definitely some new figure(s), though I'll say it right now, no matter how good they look, Shinkis have no business not being Shinkis. That Figumate Strarf sucks not only for the different style, but for not being a proper Shinki.
Hopefully they'll at least keep the scale and detail the joints, and only if it looks just like a better detailed Shinki it'll suit mine and most fans' interests. Removable armor could even be a gimmick.

Well, I was not aware it was its own figure line. :P

In any case, statues of the girls would be interesting, but strange. I'd still try and get ahold of one on the secondhand market though if they're neat enough. Perhaps shinki accessories?

if its anything like the one's I've participated in, be prepared to win 15 hand towels and posters and not score a proper figure.

The A-D prizes (which i speculate to be figures of the 4 individual main shinki respectively) tend to run in the $100-$150+ price range individually.
Otoh, if we're lucky we might get a bunch of shinki SD figures scaled to nendo size at good prices.

As an example this is a list of the general stuff i've won in IK lotteries:
Saber wine glasses
Lucky star x Macross Vf-22 SD Ishatas (cute enough to melt the planet)
Macross fronteer rice bowls
Type moon posters
Piles o SD figures (artura, nero, kagamin, sheryl and rei to name a few)
Evangelion hand towels
Zenoic hand towels

Oh yeah, I bet most of the prizes will be hand towels, keychains and other little things like that. I would like a wallscroll or some keychains though.

As long as it's cuter than Family Mart Miku I wouldn't mind shelling out money for whatever the top figures are.

This looks to be what we'll get for lower prizes :)

Okay, so this is really just a custom Nendo Petite, but hey~

Doesn't look half-bad for what are essentially consolation prizes. Judging by the Arnval, though, the individual figures are likely to be hit-or-miss in quality. However, since there's a Graffias in that picture, I'm guessing a large number, perhaps even a majority, of Shinkis will be represented in the SD figures.

I kinda don't know how to feel about this.. I mean, will this lesson the likelihood of KONAMI coming out with a re-release,..I doubt it,.. but what if they might use this as a gauge for demand for figures etc.. I don't know..just ranting..

The little Ines prize figure is cute though...

I believe that's one of the 'evil' Arnvals from the plane ep, hence the expression :) So no quality issues, just the strange face from the show.

hmmmm, the prizes look cute but I feel like I could just buy them later on after they are released
