Tamagotchi (たまごっち) is a series of handheld electronic pet game devices launched by Bandai in 1996. Its name combines the Japanese words for egg (たまご, Tamago) and watch (ウォッチ, Watch). Upon its release, it sparked a global electronic pet craze, becoming one of the most iconic toys of the 90s to early 2000s, and undoubtedly a cherished childhood memory for many toy enthusiasts!
This Tamagotchi Light Mascot Gashapon features popular Tamagotchi characters as mini figures. It includes four types: Mamecchi (まめっち), Kuchipatchi (くちぱっち), Mimitchi (みみっち), and Kuriten (くりてん). Each figure, approximately 5.6 cm tall, boasts adorable poses and detailed sculpting. Furthermore, each one can activate a light-up function via a switch at the bottom, showcasing Tamagotchi's charming appeal in the dark!
