>>333719Honestly, my dream Itabag is a bag I can use everyday, even at work, that has some sort of panel to hide the mobile shrine during moments in which I need to hide my powerlevel, but that will still let me carry my husbandos anywhere I go so I can look at them and remember why I’m working so hard.

This is why I don't like overly specific itabag bases though, you're better off with a more basic base so you can fit more merch in without distractions from the bag itself.
They're also doing an Asuka one though which is kinda funny.

>>333856honestly I think it's because he's more of an all-ages character and the sheer volume of merch means there's more plain stuff out there. Like every husbando keychain is going to be designed with female fans' taste and itabagging in mind, meanwhile Kirby is popular with kids as well so there's a lot of generic merch like what a little boy who plays the video games would want. Here in the US it's hard to find official kirby merch that isn't literally just a png of basic promo art. However there has been a LOT more cutesy kirby collections for female fans recently so I feel like now is the time to make a bag for him

Also I have been making an ita bag for a character from a obscure-ish game (it got translated into english recently, so it's more well-know now) for a few years and I'm pretty happy with it; it's what made me learn how to import cheaply from japan.

>>333727Sorry to reply to a week old post but this was my dilemma as well until companies started producing bags to remedy this issue. I use this one from WEGO which is pretty popular because it's cute, functional, and only ¥5,000. The front looks like a normal purse and the back is transparent for displaying merch. It even comes with the backing to pin merch to which can also be removed and turned around if you really wanted to be stealthy. It comes in a ton of different colours too

>>335808Zenmarket used to be my favorite, but the raised their per-item price to 500 yen, so it isn't affortable anymore. I haven't tried it yet because I'm low on money righ now, but I have heard good things about Dejapan, their tax is just 100 yen per item (+ free if you only order a single item) so that's probably the cheapest one now.
The trick is to find merch bundles on Mercari, specially the ones labelled as "junk" (I once got 2 figures for €30 just because they were missing their bozes), just make sure it's a bundle and not a "tell me what you want from the image" listing. I heard yahoo auctions is great for the same stuff as Mercari, but I'm a Eurofag so I can't confirm. Suruga-ya is also very useful to find individual stuff for cheap.
Honestly the dealbreaker when importing from japan is the weight, you have to stay under 1kg to have cheap shipping & it's so hard, specially when just a single book weights 800gr & the padding adds to he 1kg.

She's completely enamored with Yukamitsu and it brings me so much joy, I have never seen someone so obssesed (that isn't a porn-rotted scrote) with a f/f ship. She posts different coordinations of her merch daily, though I don't know if she has an actual itabag. I hope we get pics of her collection someday, it seems massive (for what these 2 character have)
>>335819Same here, when it's shitty woke stuff it's bad, but I honestly enjoy when people spend time and effort to create something of their favourite character instead of just buying the same mass-produced plastic as everyone else.

Upsides
>Great for more obscure characters or characters who are western and way less likely to get official merch because of that>A lot of time the design is more lovingly done than the official merch which is sometimes just stock art printed on a badge >can be cheaper than the official merchDownsides
>Sometimes it can look kind of messy with a bunch of clashing art styles, this is avoidable if you're willing to pick carefully and place them nicely, but I'd say it's the main downside to fanmerch only bags (some of them can still look fantastic though like this one >>333951 ) >tumblr art and pronoun pin stuff can be common depending on the fandom, meaning that it's not only harder to find merch but harder to find inspiration for your bag. >fanmerch can also be MORE expensive than the official merch in some cases, especially for series with tons of merch.

>>335870>fanmerch can also be MORE expensive than the official merchGod this, the other day I saw someone opening preorders for your usual acrylic keychains and I got excited because they made some of obscure characters I like that have no merch, but then I saw the price was $18. I passed so hard after that, it's a straight up robbery.
They included a ugly lanyard (not a full one, just those small ones that they add sometimes to keychains), but I don't think that would add an extra $10. It made me remember why I never buy merch from US artists, almost $20 for a 5cm keychain that you arent even producing yourself + trying to makie so much profit using characters that you don't even have the rights of should be illegal; even with VAT and shipping buying from JP artists is cheaper and have better quality

>>335819I think the problem anons had with fanmerch is when people made fanmerch bags for characters that had plenty of real merch. For example, back in the day people would make itabags filled with fanmerch for characters from anime like BNHA or YOI that had boatloads of real merch that they could've preordered or done box splits for to fill their bag. Most anons I recall were supportive of baggers who made bags of characters with little to no official merch and even had resources for where to have your own merch made. I personally don't really mind them, especially when you can tell they put a lot of effort into the presentation and curation rather than a shitabag like picrel where they just went to the artist alley at a con and bought the first few things they saw so they can say they made a bag kek

What's the story with the little mini bears? How did that get started? Do people dress up their own mini bears, buy them premade, or both?
No. 336373
>>336358I think they're premade bears from some company that also sells anime/game outfits for them, I have seen a handfull of bear cosplay around suruga-ya
>>336366They raised the prices last month, that's probably why you had a normal shipping price.
Weird, I haven't seen anyone complain. So Dejapan are kind of like Buyee 2.0? They have tons of hidden fees (even a "we check if your parcel arrived" one kek) and they put the original shipping box on another box, so if you order more than 1 thing you get a massive package.
I had Neokyo under my radar, but after some maths I saw my usual 4-8 item orders were cheaper with Zenmarket before their price raise. But since it looks Dejapan isn't that good I will switch to Neokyo instead.

Generally the best place to get danganronpa merch is surugaya and mercari jp.
I'm going to be honest though I'd go in not expecting to find merch for cheap if you're going to do a bag for Komaeda so pacing yourself is a good idea (speaking as a fellow dangan bagger for a high character tax character).

>>367948Honestly you're better off using food accessories (ie: maybe a plush tomato keychain on the outside?) over actually the bag shaped like a tomato, mainly just because there's more room for merch in a regular sized bag.
Overly themed bags have a couple of issues, they're usually pleather so they flake like crazy over short periods of time and are usually small so you can't put a lot of merch in them.

Its powered by 2 small usb powerbanks that are built in and has switches to turn on/off the screen, servo, and lights independently. The screen loops a compilation of clips from the anime.Amazing stuff honestly, I'm always really impressed by people who can put electronic wiring and such in their bags.

It is a PicRel. I'll likely have to make all the badges and charms myself, but it's worth it for them.

>>431562I gather a bunch of inspo pics from pinterest and weibo and have a centerpiece to coordinate other merch around of (such as a large fancy enamel pin or button pin rosette) If theres some blank space around some odd shaped merchandise i like to slap miscellaneous bows/ribbons/flowers to make it less empty. Sometimes I draw a rough draft on how I want to place pieces on an art program.
Start off with button pins of similar size since theyre the easiest to come by and stack up in bulk, hand towels are also an underrated ita bag filler that are flat so not too bothersome pinning to the board. I would personally avoid gathering too much acrylic keychains as they're hard to puzzle together due to the varied shapes and tend to shift around a lot; though you can pin them down and I personally recommend paper fasteners to do the trick. heres a vid guide on how to attach acrylic charms with paper fasteners; When I dont have any on hand I use a sewing pin and bend the tip with some tweezers.
Best of luck on your itabag journey and remember to take it slow and not indulge too quickly on trying to finish it as fast as possible. it makes it all the more meaningful and worth it if you gather pieces with consideration and care!
