xikers finally unveiled their official lightstick just a few hours ago, and it's even cuter than we imagined! It comes out as early as May 7, so it won't be long until you can hold it in your hands!
A good year after xikers' debut, fans can finally add the official lightstick to their collection:
Like most other lightsticks, xikers' lightstick consists of a rod with a transparent orb at the top that can glow in different colors. Inside is a yellow “x”.
The special thing: the orb is wearing a hood, which makes it look exactly like TRICKY, xikers' mascot!
Under the official announcement on Twitter fans quickly expressed their excitement and repeatedly stressed how cute the lightstick is. So it's definitely going down well!
Even though more and more lightsticks are deviating from the norm, the majority are still very similar to each other. So xikers definitely stands out and will undoubtedly be mentioned in the same breath as other unusual lightsticks in the future.
These include, for example, the one by Dreamcatcher, which looks like a magic wand and can be extended almost endlessly. Another example is SHINee's so-called “Shating Star”, which resembles a star.
The lightstick comes in a white box with yellow print, which also contains a yellow hand strap and an instruction manual. While supplies last, a group photocard is also included!
The design of the lightstick may not come as too big of a surprise to some fans, because it closely resembles the acrylic lightstick that xikers released for their 2023 World Tour. It is flat and not three-dimensional, but it also shows the head of the mascot TRICKY.
What do you think of the new lightstick?
