11.11.16 - Some new screenshots, posters, and more exclusives!

Alrighty, a lot of news these past few days yall.

First up are some more exclusives! These are exclusively at the Animate Cafe in Japan, but considering it's Animate, they may release leftovers in their online shop as web-exclusives. You know me, I'll update once we know anything! FYI, the items are more can badges, keychains, and a clear file.

Next up is a long list in the line of posters (and man, I'm lagging behind so hard on these releases.. I gotta catch up).

Animedia (interesting note, Yamato's cooking skills are still canon)


Otomedia (yep, seems like a staple now. Maybe I should import a subscription lol) Also, my favorite thing about this one; Yamato and Takeru's scarves match.


Newtype (no better scan as of yet, this was or only shot of Yamato's new band until...)

 Things important to note are that Yamato's bass appears the same model, IMO, when I previously heard of him using a new model. It could be an animation error, but in the picture with Takeru, the Competion Stripes are missing. Also, we finally see Yamato's new band members. No names ect. as of yet, but he has switched to a drummer and two guitarists in lieu of the keyboardist.

Also to end all this amazingness on an even better note, NicoNico is doing another stream the day before the blu-ray launch and will reveal info on Tri Episode 2!

EDIT: I updated my "About Yamato" page with the new tri images/information, including posters. I've also added more about his band for present and past. I'm hoping to complete his "attire" section in the next week!

8.7.15 - Yamato DAF2015 Can Badge is up

So, my hunt for the DigiFes items has still been a complete bust, even with Y!JP. I noticed the phone cases went up, but the badges must have glazed me over (there's so many!). Anyway, the preorder for these ends on August 19th, so get them while you can!

Here is Yamato's.

7.24.15 - Site updates + Show Accurate Digivice

Just a few small site updates.

•  Doujinshi Wish List / Collection pages updated
• "Other Merchandise" page updated with more can badges and a scrunchie.
• "Figures and Keychains" page HEAVILY updated with tons of new stuff, including Digi-Colle. 
• "Flats" page updated with posters/sketchbook.
• Small adjustments made to the "How to Shop" page.

Also, the Premium Model / Show Accurate Digivice went up for preorder today. I'm still on the fence about getting one. I hear it isn't an LCD game but *theories* imply it may light up based on the show colors, play Brave Heart, ect. I really would like one. The preorder ends in September!

Til next time

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.

1.25.15 - Return from haitus

Sorry about the long haitus everyone. I was without internet for a good part of the year and in that time they announced tri., a sequel to Digimon Adventure! So, of course, that means lots of merchandise has been pouring out. Here's a quick rundown of the Yamato related items:

• Can Badge (from Live Event, PB*)
• Can Badge 2 (PB, only sold in a set)
• Rubber Straps (2 for Adventure, 1 is a rare variant)
• Keychain (circular, two-sided with Gabumon)
• MetalGarurumon S.H. Figurearts Original Designer's Edition
• Yamato Ishida G.E.M. Figure (REissue, no card is included)
• Digivice Vers. 15th "Yamato Ishida" Version (slimmer than original, new Digimon included, first run includes a blue Digivice pin)
• Digimon Tag and Crest (now called Coat of Arms) Vers. 15th (more show-accurate, first run includes the Orange/Blue/Clear Digivice pins previously availible and a Tag pin)
• Yamato Ishida Keychain Plush (Sega - UFO Catcher prize)
• Gabumon Plush (little is known)
• 2 posters in Otomedia Magazine featuring him

It's a lot to take in right? I've managed to snag most of everything, but I expect once tri. is out that things will be more pick-and-choose. Have you all collected anything recently?
