A Dazzling 50th Anniversary Celebration: Pure Gold Miniature Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu
The beloved long-selling party game, “Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu” (which can be translated as Pop-Up Pirate), celebrating its momentous 50th anniversary, is making headlines with its world-first figure adaptation! Introducing the “Pure Gold Miniature Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu”, a truly exclusive item that went on sale Wednesday, December 3, 2025, with a strictly limited run of just 50 pieces.
First launched way back in 1975, “Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu” has endeared itself to fans as a classic party game across more than 47 countries and regions worldwide. This incredible popularity is reflected in its cumulative shipments, which have now surpassed a staggering 20 million units! Its secret lies in its irresistible blend of heart-pounding suspense and delightfully straightforward rules, making it a game that anyone, regardless of age or language, can immediately pick up and enjoy. This universal appeal has ensured its continuous love and success around the globe.
On July 5, 2025, the 7th generation “Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu” was released, retaining its iconic core style while introducing a refreshed doll design that beautifully merges elements from both Japanese and international versions of the game. Perhaps the most exciting change is the reversion of the win/loss rule back to its original format from 50 years ago: “If it pops out, you win!” As it commemorates its 50th anniversary, this return to its origins offers a refreshing and universal take on fun, emphasizing the joy of “winning” rather than the dread of “losing.”
To further honor the 50th anniversary of “Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu”, a very special item has been meticulously crafted: the “Pure Gold Miniature Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu.” This exquisite miniature figure, made entirely of pure gold, is a truly luxurious and collectible piece. Each one comes with a unique serial number, adding to its prestige and exclusivity.
The miniature flawlessly reproduces the Blackbeard figure at approximately 16mm in height, with the accompanying barrel also measuring around 16mm. This delicate creation is the work of highly skilled jewelry artisans, ensuring every detail is perfect. Not only is the Blackbeard figure itself exquisitely rendered, but the barrel is also designed to allow five swords to be inserted—a thoughtful nod to the 50th anniversary. Holding this piece, you can truly feel the unique radiance, texture, and substantial weight that only pure gold can provide.
This breathtaking piece is priced at 1,980,000 yen (tax included). Collectors and enthusiasts can acquire it from the U-TREASURE Online Shop or by visiting the U-TREASURE Concept Store Ikebukuro.
