The C prize is a figure of Near, sculpted sitting in a chair with casters in a distinctive pose. The D prize is a figure of Mello, reproduced sitting in a luxurious chair. Each draw costs 850 yen including tax. The full prize list is not yet public; A, B, and E through I prizes, along with the Last One prize and Double Chance campaign, remain unspecified.
