#moabong

Just realized the moabong v2 doesn’t have the “TOMORROW X TOGETHER” branding on it (save for the TXT elements) :(

Am hoping the iridescent pearl finish looks more appealing irl bc seeing both versions side by side like this makes me like how bright the white body is on v1. Still uncertain about how i feel about the all silver buttons since they’ve stripped off a number of unique elements from v1 as it is :(

I’m so glad they kept the retractable feature and the finding MOA feature!!! 🥹😭😭 Those were some of the best features of moabong v1 🥺

I’m a still a little bummed that it’s less colorful now but the “iridescent pearl” detail seems like such a classy touch that aligns with the more “mature” (or at least less cutesy) look they’re going for with v2! And the color shaking mode seems so fun!! I think it’d help to make moabongs stand out in events where there are different fandoms present and it’ll probs look v pretty irl 🥹

I’m a bit on the fence about the removable cross feature though 🤔 iirc there is a POB of album-inspired detachable crosses which feels very nostalgic 🥺 It seems like a cute feature that could lend itself v well to customizations but i’m worried that it could lead to it falling apart quicker/more easily and the cynical part of me thinks it feels a bit like a cashgrab hahaha like if they see the demand for more detachable crosses, they’ll probs go ahead and start selling multiple accessories for the moabong v2 😬

Still not sure how i feel about the more spherical shape too. The back looks like it’s still a bit flatter?? so idk how it would look irl

Ooh this would have been a good approach too — having the lightstick’s details paying homage to their previous eras 🥺

I had a tough time trying to think of what new or other color combo could be used for their merch tbh and i think part of it is bc they don’t really have official colors afaik?

Like yeah, each member had a different color during their debut teasers and they also had their own colors in CTF (can’t recall if they’re the same as from their debut material) but I think TXT, as a whole, does not have any official colors? And neither do MOAs :(

If we/they had official colors then i think those should be used for the lightstick!!

Sidenote: i’ve seen some fanmade designs of album-inspired crosses and they look so cool!! But we’ll probs never get official merch like these bc the production costs would probably be v prohibitive but just look at these shapes and colors!!!
