Tamagotchi at Toyfair 2014

AHHH

Yumecantchi! It's so cute I almost vomited!

Looks like there's no Memetchi figure.... I must have mistaken Amiamitchi for her

 

[AeroHail]

Aww, I want them all now! They look like they'd be a lot of fun to carry around for unplanned photos.

 

[Eternal Mametchi Fan]

Yuuuus! BTW, did you notice the second photo in the gallery, of someone holding a white leopard TF? There appears to be something mysterious in the background but it's blurry...could it be those "kiosk" things?

 

[tamastar133]

Himespetchi caught ya! I'm so happy image they made a Melodytchi one? Hehe that's cool a close up

 

[Eternal Mametchi Fan]

I think the white star faceplate would look good on a pink one, and the black faceplate would look good on a blue one!

Excuse my bad image editing XD

I think Bandai should promote the swappable faceplates

 

[AeroHail]

I agree, they look really nice swapped!

 

[Celestea]

I love the new shells! o: A couple of them remind me of these nano designs:

There are some differences, but I do wonder if there's some kind of connection.

Also, I've been thinking... Do you think we'll be getting all 12 designs, or at least the non-iD L UK designs as well? I ask this because, in the video, the units with the old designs they were demoing also had the color icon backgrounds.

EDIT: Added an edited picture so you can see the color background easier.

 

[Pashalin]

I need the white shell with stars and all of the figures.

Bye money. At least I'm not spending much on ponies or dolls this year because this years lineups for those two brands are pretty shabby...

oOh the pink one with stars I NEED IT too bad it's not real since you colored it the blue and black tama looks lovely as well I guess that must be Wave 2 like the tamaGo since there was some changes like this one with colored icons

I wonder that as well. If not, I'll probably have to import the UK designs. Or trade if anyone here would like a US design. So for the US design I like the blue/white with stars and the purple with hearts. I sorta want to avoid the IDL looking ones because, well, I don't want them to get mixed up.

It also appears that they replaced the silver band with matching colors instead, so blue gets dark blue, red gets dark red, etc, and all have... silver faceplates?

Also I saw in picture on the bottom of one of the reds it says "new one." So I am wondering if they're going to redo the ones sold in the UK with an 'updated' version?

 

[NitraatPoep]

Love the whitestars design. Hope theyll come to europe too.

Tamagotchi Friends won the "Techlicious Best of Toy Fair 2014" award, according to the Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. Twitter account. Great to see that Tamagotchi is back on the winning track, so to speak - I see this as a good sign for future releases here in the US and outside of Japan in general.

Some photos of the figures as you can see. It looks like along with the figures, you can buy accessories with it and play it like action figures.

OH, and:

An add from The Voice Kids in Spanish, I believe.

[2pVaporeon]

YES! A Yukinkotchi figure! SHE NEEDS LOVE I SAY!

*ahem* But that black shell with the dots and bow? Yeah it's mine.

 

[MagicMimitchi]

here's another toy fair video

They said the price would be $19.99

you can also see some new gorgeous shell designs at about 1:29

and they said something about color icons but i couldn't get a good look at them

as far as i can see it just looks like there is icon backgrounds on the paper behind the screen like in vintages and connections

The NA shells:

I really really want those bottom 3 NA shell designs. They're sooo cute! I'm so glad I decided to wait for the NA release of Tamagotchi Friends. They'll also be cheaper. I could definitely afford to buy 3 of them at $20 a pop.

 

[Eternal Mametchi Fan]

Apparently the new designs will be in Germany too

 

[furbitchi]

The BFF shell is very 90s girl colour well it reminds me of from seeing those shades as a kid out of all these designs to choose from I still like the Dalmatian one the best. Whatever happend to the flame designs and the dark boy colours they had the 90s tamas which they KEEP REFERRING TO had more gender neutral colours than this it's almost sexist.

 

[Midorime]

I see all those scratches/cracks by the buttons. I'm starting to wonder if they happen when the faceplate is snapped on, which means it's either too tight or they're using too much force....

Has anyone experimented with their TF on painting over the band so the color doesn't rub off? Like using a top coat of paint varnish or clear coat of nail polish?

I mod-podged mine on an iD L and it doesn't rub off, not sure if its the same paint used though uwu.
