Openable, Extendable Handles, and Collectible: ACE's Popular Suitcases Debut as Capsule Toys!

Luggage manufacturer ACE Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Hiroaki Morishita) is launching its first-ever capsule toy, the "Miniature Trunk," against the backdrop of recovering travel demand and the expanding capsule toy market. These are Bandai Gashapon® products that intricately replicate the company's popular suitcases. Sales began in late May 2026 at Gashapon vending machines nationwide, and sales also started on June 1 at the World Luggage Museum, operated within the ACE Tokyo store. Starting June 5, 2026, a novelty campaign will be held at select stores, where customers will receive one capsule toy for every suitcase purchased. Product Introduction: ACE's popular suitcases, chosen by many as travel companions, are now available as palm-sized capsule toys. Despite their miniature size, they replicate details such as opening/closing functions, extendable handles, and authentic color schemes. You can enjoy them in various ways, such as taking photos with scenery or favorite items, or displaying them in your room. The lineup includes 6 types. From the Japanese travel bag brand "PROTECA," the "360G4," a suitcase with a new concept that can be opened from any angle, and the "Staria CXR," a high-performance suitcase with a horizontal and vertical rib design, are included. Additionally, from the bag & luggage brand "HaNT," the "Coconto," a suitcase with a slim silhouette that is less obstructive in crowded places, is featured. Novelty Campaign: From Friday, June 5, 2026, customers who purchase one ACE suitcase (excluding sale items) at ACE Bags & Luggage direct stores, ACE direct stores, and Work Style Beauties Atre Kawasaki store will receive one capsule toy.
