Ichiban Kuji Dragon Ball GT (2026) Brings Super Saiyan 4 and Super 17 to MASTERLISE

Dragon Ball GT is getting the premium MASTERLISE treatment in Bandai Spirits' next Ichiban Kuji release. Confirmed via Bandai Spirits' official listing, Ichiban Kuji Dragon Ball GT (2026) launches August 22, 2026, priced at 790 JPY per draw.

This is a confirmed release with a locked launch date and per-draw price, so here's what's included.

What's Confirmed About This Lottery

Bandai Spirits' official listing confirms the following:

  • Launch date: August 22, 2026
  • Price: 790 JPY per draw
  • Features Super Saiyan 4, Super 17, and the rest of the GT crew rendered in the MASTERLISE format
  • Sold through Japanese hobby retailers and Ichiban Kuji import shops

What MASTERLISE Means for This Release

MASTERLISE is Bandai Spirits' premium sculpting and finishing standard within the Ichiban Kuji line, generally delivering sharper detail and more dynamic posing than a standard prize figure tier. Applying it to Dragon Ball GT specifically signals a higher production investment in a series that gets comparatively less premium figure support than the mainline Dragon Ball Z cast.

A Deep Cut for GT-Specific Fans

Featuring Super 17 alongside Super Saiyan 4 Goku gives this lottery real appeal for collectors specifically invested in GT's storyline, rather than just the more universally recognized Z-era character designs. That specificity is part of what makes this release stand out among Dragon Ball's broader Ichiban Kuji catalog.

For MASTERLISE-format figures like these, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps the detailed sculpting dust-free.

For giving a standout pull like Super Saiyan 4 its own spotlight, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds a dedicated display tier.

Why Dragon Ball GT Gets Less Premium Support Than Z

Dragon Ball GT has long occupied a more divisive spot in the franchise's history compared to the mainline Z series, which has led manufacturers to generally prioritize Z-era characters for premium figure lines. A dedicated MASTERLISE Ichiban Kuji built specifically around GT content is a notable exception to that pattern, and it gives GT-focused collectors a rare chance to add premium-tier pieces without waiting on a full statue line that may never materialize for this specific era.

What to Expect From MASTERLISE Sculpting Quality

MASTERLISE releases across Dragon Ball's Ichiban Kuji catalog have consistently prioritized sharper facial sculpting and more dynamic hair and energy-effect detailing than standard prize tiers, even when priced only slightly above a non-MASTERLISE release. For GT specifically, that extra sculpting attention matters given how visually distinct Super Saiyan 4's fur-covered design is compared to standard Super Saiyan transformations, making accurate texture work a bigger part of the figure's overall appeal.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Confusing MASTERLISE prize figures with standard-tier Ichiban Kuji prizes, which differ in sculpt and finish quality
  • Overlooking import availability and assuming standard North American retail carries this lottery
  • Assuming this release covers the same character roster as mainline Dragon Ball Z Ichiban Kuji lotteries
  • Displaying dynamic Super Saiyan 4-style poses without adequate support for extended limbs or hair sculpts
