Tamagotchi Original - Sky (Updated Logo)

Bandai are definitely banking purely off nostalgia with this release. Great device with all the charm of the 90’s devices, and admittedly a very pretty paint job’s, only let down by poor build quality. Sure the originals weren’t great or anything, but the plastic of these devices feels brittle and cheap even compared to the Digimon rerelease. Another thing of note is the way the battery compartment attaches to this device means it isn’t flush with the rest of the device and is kinda sharp. Late to the party here, but I was super excited when I saw this release, especially after seeing so many videos of people collecting this Gen, to ultimately be let down. My last Tamagotchi was a Connection and those things were made with such care, and attention to detail, out of far better materials. It would be good to one day see a return to that. Please Bandai, tell me you’re reinvesting the money from this into something cool like a Morino, Ocean, Devilitchi or Connections rerelease.

I bought this as a Christmas gift when I was reminded of how fun and cool it was to have one as a kid. The toy is actually boring. You can quickly give it food to fill it up, bath when you see poop, and only has one guessing game to keep it happy. Not sure what I was expecting but my daughter has a bitzee and prefers that because the characters change, it’s more interactive and has different games.
