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

7.18.15 - DigiFes merch updates

Before you get excited, nothing super-Yamato related has been revealed, except a new Omnimon / Omegamon figure, labeled "Our War Game Vers." that features a new mold and Taichi and Yamato on the shoulders. We only have a tiny silhoutte as of now. I'm glad I waited on previous versions because I can't wait to display this one from the right side. Yamato/MetalGarurumon, you'll get your time in the sun, buddy.

As far as DigiFes Merch is concerned, there's been some stuff like glowsticks with the logo of the event, but nothing character specific yet. For now, the only new Yamato-related item seems to be the previously mentioned Charatch watch, but then, you have to buy the entire set. I'm hoping to find the blue shell down the road, seperately.

Edit: I take that back. There was a desktop calendar on the webshop that featured all eight kids. Doesn't appear to be any other images in the tiny calendar, so this was a pass for me, too. 

Will update when there's more! Make sure you guys have August 1st marked on those calendars (and bank accounts)!

6.22.15 - Charatch Mystery Item

The mystery item retailing for around $100 was revealed to be a Digimon watch with interchangable plates. These plates resemble the Digivice and come in all 8 Chosen colors.

Generally opinion is the thing looks too clunky/geeky to be worth the cost, so this is a pass for me as well; although I would love to find just the Yamato faceplate down the road.

Otherwise, news will probably be slow until August.

6.18.15 - New UFO catcher, DigiFes, and other items

Over the last few weeks a few items have popped up, including:

• A new Gabumon Crane Plush Prize / UFO Catcher (Don't expect these to be horribly expensive on Y!JP. Released alongside a few Agumon prizes)
• New plastic lanyards featuring the children/crests. (They were for preorder on AmiAmi).
• The line with Punimon/Tsunomon/Gabumon mini-figures, releasing in September, went up for preorder for around $45 USD. 
• A "mystery prize"! costing around $100 USD was put up on Bandai Premium (or was it Toei Webshop?) No word on what it is. Some guesses include Taichi's Goggles or one of the other kids' Digivices. I'm betting it's a D-3, with how they have been pushing Zero Two lately. I would like to jump in on this, but preorders end in July-- not sure if I'll have the money.
• Also, another "mystery prize" will be given out to attendees of DigiFes. First of all, you order a ticket (you need a Japanese address), then hope you get lucky enough to attend via raffle. At the event you get a random gift. Again, no idea what it is, but I bet you anything something Yamato oriented will be there. Not looking forward to dropping money on this, let me tell you.

Also remember that the 15th Anniversary Crest/Tags are released this month! :D Just in time for all those winter cosplays.

I'm working mostly on my doujinshi section of this site for now as I don't expect much merch until DigiFes on August 1st.

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.

3.27.15 - A few more small updates

Added:

• Otomedia Poster #3
• Gabumon Wash Mitt
• Yamato Memorial Swing Keychain
• Taco Bell Prize (Variant)

Also working on a "how to shop for" page.

3.26.15 - Small updates

Aside some conspiracy theories as Yamato being the new villain (and the new poster for tri.) all in good fun, of course, there isn't anything to report.

I did make some updates to my doujinshi and card wish list page.
