HoYoVerse will release a Pom-Pom-themed itabag for all of your Honkai: Star Rail goods. The bag will be available from November 10, 2024 via the miHoYo flagship store on Taobao. [Thanks, heiankyo_327!]
The Honkai: Star Rail Pom-Pom itabag costs 219 CNY, which converts to around $30.50. Design-wise, it resembles the Astral Express but it uses the red, gold, and black color scheme of the train’s conductor. There is a small circular window for a badge, as well as a larger door-shaped window for items like plushies. In the sample pictures, we can see examples of Sparkle, Astral Express, and March itabags. The bag itself is 25.5 x 10 x 19 cm.
Itabags are a part of fandom culture, and they first appeared in Japan during the 2010s. The goal of an itabag is for the owner to express their love for a character or franchise. Usually, the bags have a see-through window so that you can place items like plushies, badges, or keychains. The window is fairly important for maximizing real estate and allowing for more freedom in what goods you can display. While you don’t necessarily need to use the Honkai: Star Rail itabag to show your love for the game or one of its characters, it would look quite strange to other fans if you put something else in it.
Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.
