Ever felt like your Tamagotchi needed a little more… punch? Well, get ready because Tamagotchi just leveled up into an actual robot! Enter the Chogokin Tamagotchi Robot—a hybrid of ’90s nostalgia and metal-mecha awesomeness. No longer will your pixelated buddy just beep at you when it’s hungry; now it’s rolling up with a mini, metallic exoskeleton, standing at an impressive 100 mm. Yes, that’s right—it’s Tamagotchi, but make it Gundam.
This little robo-pet doesn’t just look cool. It transforms from a UFO-shaped Tamagotchi carrier to a miniature, die-cast robot, complete with a custom-colored OG Tamagotchi nestled within its metallic shell. And for all the collectors out there, don’t worry; the nostalgic ’90s program inside remains unchanged, so you can still relive those frantic feeding sessions.
Available for preorder on November 1st, it’ll set you back 9,900 yen (about $66 USD)—a small price to pay for a pet that now doubles as a tiny Transformer. The toy will be released in May 2025. More looks after the break.
