Um, what is going on here? If you saw the images we just recently posted to our blog of the upcoming Tamagotchi Some device that Bandai Korea just announced than you may have noticed this. Bandai Korea was just at the Character Licensing Fair 2019 held in the Starfield COEX Mall in Korea where they showcased the upcoming device in every color and version for everyone to see.
Fans were drooling over the new faceplate inserts, which feature new designs for both the magical and fairy versions. What you may not have noticed is that the plastic top shell which is placed on top of the faceplate insert was for the Japanese Tamagotchi Meets. You can see in the image about that it does read “Tamagotchi Meets” above the buttons, and even the hearts on the fairy version, and stars on the magical version do not align with the new faceplate insert design. These are plastic top shells are clearly meant for the Tamagotchi Meets.
So why did Bandai Korea do this? Perhaps this is because the Tamagotchi Some did not go into production yet, and the tweaking of the faceplate insert would be enough for them to showcase the device at the event. These are most likely preproduction devices that Bandai Korea has on hand. No official word here, but it was very interesting to see this mismatch. Did anyone else notice?
