Bandai Spirits will be releasing a new Kingdom Hearts Ichiban Kuji lottery titled “Linking Hearts,” and there will be both a figure of Sora and Roxas in it. The new Ichiban Kuji lottery will release late May 2024 and tickets for the lottery will retail for ¥790 (~$5 USD).
There are seven prizes for the Ichiban Kuji lottery, which excludes the Double Chance and Last One prizes from previous Kingdom Hearts Ichiban Kuji. No retailers have been listed for this lottery, although previous ones ran in 7-Eleven and Ito-Yokado stores across Japan. The run period for this lottery has not yet been revealed. More information about this new Ichiban Kuji will be revealed at a later date.
The prizes for the Kingdom Hearts: Linking Hearts lottery are as follows:
- A Prize: Sora statue
- B Prize: Visual Bath Towel
- C Prize: Cushion
- D Prize: Glass Plate
- E Prize: Towels
- F Prize: Design Tumbler
- G Prize: Keyblade Charm collection
Currently, the only prize in the Ichiban Kuji Kingdom Hearts lottery that has been revealed is the Sora figure. This Sora statue is based on the Kingdom Hearts II‘s Station of Awakening, which features Sora asleep in the stained glass platform. The figure can be viewed below:

Previous Ichiban Kuji lotteries included the Second Memory lottery in 2020 featuring statues of Sora & Roxas and Axel & Roxas as prizes, and the 20th Anniversary lottery in 2022 featuring Sora and Kairi statues as prizes.
The series has received a number of new pieces of merchandise recently, including foil-printed puzzles, a brand new light-up Keyblade based on the Kingdom Key D, a line of clothing and apparel by Graniph, and Jacquard bags and backpacks.
