Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS company's prize brand BANPRESTO today (23rd) announced its new lineup scheduled for release in December 2025. This article will feature the Pokémon-themed "Gengar Backpack" (tentative name)! It's truly adorable!
"Gengar," a flagship Ghost-type Pokémon that has enjoyed immense popularity since its debut in the first generation, has a very mischievous personality and loves playing pranks. It excels at hiding in the shadows of various objects, making it far from easy to spot. In addition to causing the surrounding temperature to drop by 5 degrees Celsius, Gengar's body, like a black hole, seems capable of storing all sorts of things. Furthermore, since its pre-evolution Gastly weighs only 0.1 kg, but evolves into Gengar weighing 40.5 kg, this is definitely one of the eerie secrets hidden within Gengar.
The detailed dimensions of this commercialized Gengar backpack have not yet been announced, but it fully reproduces Gengar's charming design. From its purple body, pointed ears, and small spikes on its head, to its iconic red eyes and tongue, everything is faithfully recreated. The entire backpack also resembles Gengar's body shape, appearing round. Currently, it appears there's a zippered pocket on the back for storing items. I really want to fill it with things to make Gengar plump and round~ It feels like carrying it out would help me meet other Gengar fans.
