Best Honkai & ZZZ Collectible Cards 2025: The Ultimate Guide to Photocards & Film Strips
Who says you need a massive display cabinet to be a collector? In 2025, the hottest trend in anime merch fits right in the palm of your hand.
Welcome to the world of "Paper Goods"—where high-end printing technology meets portable art. From shimmering lenticular cards to transparent film strips, these aren't just pieces of cardboard; they are "Portable Art" that you can carry, decorate, and cherish. Whether you're a journaler, a phone case decorator, or just love the thrill of opening a pack, here is your guide to the most aesthetic cards from Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero.
"Carry your favorite character in your pocket. These cards are the lipstick effect of the anime world—affordable luxury that sparks joy every day."
1. Dynamic Art: The "Winking" Raster Cards
Remember those stickers that moved when you tilted them? These are the high-definition evolution. The "The Memories We Share" Raster Cards use advanced lenticular printing.
The Magic: Tilt the card left and right, and watch your favorite character blink, smile, or unleash their ultimate. It’s interactive art that never gets boring.
2. Cinematic Vibes: Faux Film Cards
For the photographers and dreamers. The 2nd Anniversary Faux Film Cards mimic the look of actual movie reels.
Pro Tip: Hold these up against the blue sky or a neon sign and take a photo. The semi-transparent material lets the light bleed through, creating a stunning, nostalgic filter effect for your social media posts.
3. Lore Collectors: Mindscape Cinema Sets
If you love the UI design of Zenless Zone Zero, you need this. The Obol Squad Mindscape Card Set physicalizes the "Cinema" (Constellation) screens from the game.
These are heavy, premium matte cards that feel like official dossiers. Perfect for organizing in a binder to track your "collection" progress IRL.
4. Travel Buddies: Photography Transparent Cards
Designed specifically for the "Clear Card" trend. The Photography Series Transparent Cards mimic an Instagram or Polaroid frame.
Take them on your next trip! Frame a landmark within the clear section of the card to make it look like the character is visiting that spot with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these cards standard size for binders?
Most Raster and Mindscape cards fit in standard A5 4-pocket binder pages. However, the Film Cards are longer and may require special ticket-holder sleeves. Always check the dimensions in the product description!
Is it a blind bag (random)?
Check the product page carefully! Some sets (like the Mindscape Cinema sets) are sold as "Full Sets" (you get everyone), while others might be random blind packs. We know the pain of gacha, so we try to label this clearly.
How do I protect them?
Paper and PET scratches easily. We highly recommend buying Penny Sleeves (soft) for bulk storage and Toploaders (hard plastic) for the cards you want to carry around or display.
