Forget piloting an Eva; now you can wear one—or at least carry one around. FX Pop-Up has teamed up with Neon Genesis Evangelion again, this time dropping a bag collection that’s equal parts practical and fandom flex. From a mecha-themed backpack to sleek sling bags and crossbody options, this collection is ready to help you face your daily battles—whether it’s a surprise Angel attack or just surviving rush hour.
The showstopper is the Mecha Pack, a backpack that looks like it rolled off NERV’s assembly line. With a 3D-embossed EVA-01 head on the front, the backpack doesn’t just look cool—it’s basically an Evangelion for your back. It’s got all the bells and whistles: an AGS Pro Suspension System to save your spine from the weight of your laptop and snacks, an EVA back pad for extra comfort, and a plethora of pockets, including one for a 17-inch laptop, an 8.3-inch tablet, and whatever else you can cram into 33 liters of space.
The Mecha Pack comes in three colorways—Unit-01’s signature green and purple, Unit-02’s fiery red, and Mark.06’s sleek blue—so you can rep your favorite mech without the hassle of psychological evaluations. If a full-blown mech backpack feels like overkill, the collection also includes sling bags, crossbody options, a wallet, and even a recycle bag, because NERV apparently has a green initiative now.
Pre-orders for the Mecha Pack are priced at US$139.99, but once the Angels (or the hype) hit, the price will jump to US$167. Shipping starts mid-December, just in time for the holidays—or your next battle with reality. As for the rest of the collection, the prices range from US$22.99 to US$49.99.
