New Bandai Sega Prize plush - Tsunomon~

These were just revealed on the BPNavi page.  New Sega UFO prize plush! You will need a deputy service to get these from auction or select sites may carry them.

Tsunomon is in the Vol. 1 In Training / Child set:

New crane plush for tri

These were just revealed. They will be coming out in Japan crane games so expect them on Y!JP. These match the previously released Adventure set.

10.15.15 - New magazine poster, tons of Toei webshop merch, GEM re-re-release, Gabumon UFO catcher

Since my internet is spotty, I'm a bit late to update, but hope you all enjoy it anyway.

Let me start by saying I'm leaving out some pretty cute Gabumon-relevant merch, so you may want to search Toei's Webshop and AmiAmi thoroughly.

Toei has more can badges (of course), except this time they are long! I am particularly pleased with this set, because not only is there lots of Yamato, but there's lots of characters represented, including Zero Two variants. The set retails for around $60 USD, but AmiAmi is kind enough to have preorders closer to $40. Thank you, AmiAmi, for rescuing my wallet.

On the bad news side of things, this art is reused for a new set of those damn randomized posters. You remember, the ones where you get 8 out of 16 variants randomly in a box? Ugh. Since Yamato had more than one or two in this set, I ordered 2 sets for around $55 USD, also from AmiAmi.

Also, somehow this sticker slipped through the cracks. It's still on AmiAmi, too, for around $5?

Now, I'd like to mention this cute Gabumon, at least. It's a crane prize, so check Y!JP for him:

Finally, there has been quite a bit of posters going on in various magazines. Here is the new Tri one to be released in Japan's Newtype November 2015 Issue but there are also non-poster related spreads in Animedia and HyperHobby.

 

Also, before this slips away, Yamato's GEM figure is getting a third release (second re-release). AmiAmi has him here.

8.29.15 - New UFO / Crane plush keychain: Gabumon

So, Bandai posted new crane game plush on their plush site (here), due out mid September. I'm not super excited (okay, that Goma!) But only because we already had Agumon, Patamon, and Gabumon in the last lot. I'd rather see more human characters.

Look for these on Yahoo! Japan about a week after release. Will probably run you 1500 yen each or less.

5.9.2015 - Tri trailer, Can Badge, Plush Updates

I know I'm a bit late reporting on the tri trailer, but my limited connection prevented me from seeing it for awhile. The TV Series is now a theatrical 6 part anime. (Good quality, unknown length, could take anywhere from 1 year to 3 to air completely.) Yamato appears a few times and the words Taichi says, in my opinion, imply that 02 won't be entirely retconned, but possibly this will be an alternate timeline of Adventure, as if 02 didn't happen-- which is the best I could hope for. On the other hand, here's hoping the 02 exclusive cast gets a cameo. Alphamon somewhat supports this. There is a new character and all I'll say is I'm not fond of her and that she is there for the new "moe" generation (as I have described her elsewhere: Homura Akemi with a Fennekin). Let's hope this isn't a repeat of ReBuild of Evangelion.

Now, for actual Yamato-news. Sadly, Yuuto Kazama has been replaced. The entire cast was replaced with newer, fresher actors (in a sense, I believe this is like the mysterious moe girl, to appear to a new generation). The good news about this is most of the cast grew up with Digimon and respect it. I am anxious as I haven't watched any new anime in some time (most recent titles included RAINBOW, Madoka Magica, Ghost Hound, Princess Jellyfish, and Tsuritama. The latter is the same artist for tri, by the way.)

Click here for more information on Yamato's actor, Yoshimasa Hosoya. I have only seen Ghost Hound and he probably had a line in that, so I can't really give my impressions. Will probably do research at some point.

There are some small updates to the site, just including the most recent merchandise which were a sketchbook and a new wave of can badges based on previous cell phone strap/keychains, with the same "secret" Piedmon style ones.

Finally, over on my Facebook Group (DigimonCollect@Facebook), we discovered an ultra rare WereGarurumon Lottery Prize plush, which I added.
