1.21.16 - Virus Gabumon up for preorder!

I wasn't going to really cover this much as technically Yamato has never had a Virus Gabumon, but I figure it would be useful to note that Den Den Hobby has the limited Agu/Gabu set for preorder. They were only availible at Jump Festa, IIRC, and will be up on the Premium Bandai website for a short while next month. These are very limited. They'll run you around $30 on DenDen until they raise their prices.

2.8.15 - Plush, GEM line update, and ANOTHER can badge set...

Wonfes (Wonder Festival) was today and new images from the GEM lines were shown, which include Punimon, Tsunomon, and Gabumon. The in-trainings will be a set and then Gabumon is sold seperately, each for about $5. 

The large plush we keep seeing but hearing nothing about showed up on Twitter. The size and detail is great but I'm not digging that black line for Gabumon's mouth. I hope it isn't as noticable at other angles... Again, no word on availibility or price.

Also, this is actually old news from the official 15th Twitter, but Hobby Stock announced their own can badge set... It's limited (lottery prize?) I think. I can't find anywhere to order them and there's 2 secrets. My guess is probably WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon judging by the colors... so I'm not looking forward to Y!JP prices on these.

Can Badge Set 3

A new "Can Badge" set was announced this morning via HobbyStock's Twitter, retweeted by Adventure15th.

They retail for 300 yen (each?) and there are 10 total, 2 being unrevealed secrets. My bet is one is probably MetalGarurumon or Gabumon.

They are in the style of the recent chibi keychains and plushes... not my favorite cup of tea, but I'll bite.

There is some exclusivity, but I don't know if it's at the special event mentioned only or their website (similar to how the first keychain set you could only obtain MetalGarurumon through their site) or if they will be widely released but maybe the secrets are exclusive... will let you know more when I know more.
