FLOW GLOW Ichiban Kuji: Acrylic Boards, Choco Figures Set for November

BANDAI SPIRITS announced on September 7 that the merchandise lottery "Ichiban Kuji hololive FLOW GLOW" will see sequential release starting November 13, 2026. Each draw costs 790 yen including tax. The lottery is themed around FLOW GLOW, a VTuber unit that debuted in November 2024 under "hololive DEV_IS," a group within hololive production operated by Cover. It is the second DEV_IS group following ReGLOSS. The currently announced lineup centers on five FLOW GLOW members: Hibiki Riona, Torakane Hiiro, Mizumiya Hibiki, Wando Chihaya, and Kikkira Vivi. Each member receives an individual prize in the form of a B5-sized acrylic visual board featuring newly drawn illustrations. A separate "Choco no Kko Prize" offers a deformed figure of about 4.5 cm in five types, with the specific type not selectable by the purchaser. The product will be available at Ichiban Kuji ONLINE, Ministop, and official Ichiban Kuji shops. Additional goods using newly drawn illustrations are planned, with details to be announced later.

The product page for the lottery went live on BANDAI SPIRITS' Lotter Innovation Division site, Ichiban Kuji Club, where the acrylic boards and Choco no Kko figures were first shown. Each member's board reproduces a handwritten-style message from that member alongside the new illustration. The five acrylic board prizes are each one type per member, all B5 size.

Retailers carry a caveat that handling may be canceled or release timing may differ depending on store circumstances, and that the lottery ends when stock runs out. The listing asks customers not to contact stores directly. Images shown may differ from the actual products, and listed content is subject to change without notice.

The new goods arrive as hololive production marks its ninth anniversary. The Inside cosplay roundup notes anniversary events planned around the same period: the "HoloKaru Yokohama" sightseeing event from September 18 and "Holo Hanabi 2026" fireworks at Saitama Stadium on October 15.
