Gundam Orphans Ichiban Kuji looks stronger once the clear gunpla prizes are seen in-store

The official Ichiban Kuji page already had the hard buyer facts for Gundam Orphans, but the same-day HOBBY Watch sample check at Gundam Base Tokyo changes how easy the prize structure is to read. The clear-color gunpla axis stands out far more once it is framed as the main reason to pull.

Start with the official sales facts

The BANDAI SPIRITS official page lists store sales from April 25, 2026 and online sales from April 27 at 11:00. The listed price is 850 yen per draw.

Sales channels are also explicit: Lawson, Ministop, bookstores, hobby shops, select drugstores, Ichiban Kuji official shops, and Ichiban Kuji ONLINE. That makes it easy to judge the real buying path before caring about the sample photos.

What the sample check changes

The same-day HOBBY Watch post adds value because it re-centers the lottery around the C prize MGSD Barbatos solid clear and D prize HG Barbatos Lupus iron-blood clear samples at Gundam Base Tokyo.

There are still plenty of other rewards in the mix, including the A prize bust, B prize Mikazuki and Orga figure, and E prize magnets. But for most readers, the real decision is whether the clear gunpla branch is strong enough to carry repeated pulls.

How to read it as a buyer now

Even if you like Orphans broadly, the cleaner way to judge this lottery is to split it into two buckets: gunpla-led interest or character-goods-led interest. The official page already gives enough prize images to make that split quickly.

So this is less about blind anniversary hype and more about whether the clear-color Barbatos rewards actually match your shelf taste. If they do, the lottery reads much stronger. If they do not, the rest of the lineup may not carry the same value alone.
