It’s toy fair season and Bandai Namco US did not disappoint! Bandai Namco US had an impressive Tamagotchi booth at the 2025 Toy Fair New York at the Jacob Javitz Convention Center. This event gives merchandisers and retailers the ability to preview upcoming products in hopes to expand their reach to customers. Be sure to check them out through March 4th, 2025 at booth #403!

Julie, tolovelfromvine was in attendance and took some great pictures! The booth itself featured beautiful graphic from the latest Tamagotchi devices, including Tamagotchi Original Angel, and Tamagotchi Uni.

There was a photo spot of a Tamagotchi Original Dreamy (an iconic shell) that actually has lights around it so the edges are glowing!

Of course they also had the Mametchi and Kuchipatchi statues, oh did we mention there is an all-new Tamagotchi mascot costume? The costume is noticeably taller, and featuring brighter colors, love that!

There were shelves showcasing upcoming products, and thats where we started to drool. First there is a cute Tamagotchi display which consists of Tamagotchi devices attached to a wall display in the shape of a Tamagotchi, which features a television screen inside of it.

So what new products were showcased? It looks like Bandai Namco US is bringing the Tamagotchi Collectibles Poop Time to North America! We couldn’t be more excited to get our hands on these, and to keep our Tamagotchi Original produced in these cases. They’ll be $5.99 at Barnes & Noble, Hot Topic, and Box Lunch stores.

Already announced, and available for preorder on Amazon US, the new Darth Vader Tamagotchi Nano was also being showcased along with the silicone set for those Star Wars fans! Along with the latest Spring 2025 Tamagotchi Original shells, including Stained Spring Glass!

Next, bath bombs! These have been a huge hit in Japan, and look like they’re coming to North America! Bandai Lifestyle Tamagotchi first volume bath bombs (grape scent), and Hair Tie Bath Bombs come in four styles, in an orange scented bath bomb.

Then you’ve some beauty, Tamagotchi Face & Eye Color! Already announced by Bandai Namco US, listed for preorder on Amazon, but now we can see the store display, along with the packaging, which will be identical to the Japanese packaging.

Remember those adorable Tamagotchi PuriNuri Petit plushies we saw that the “Fun With Tamagotchi” panel at the 2024 New York Comic-Con? They’re coming!

Next up are Tamagotchi Mini ChibiNui Mascot Plushies which are adorable and come in Kuchipatchi, Mametchi, Memetchi, Sebiretchi, Milktchi, Weeptchi, and Ichigotchi!

Bandai Namco US also showed off the Tamagotchi Play Charm Phone Mametchi Plushie that attaches to your phone case.

There is also a new type of plushie coming, one that actually houses your plushies. It almost looks like a jacket that will cover your plushie and come with a lanyard to wrap around your neck. Two were previewed, a Kuchipatchi and Mametchi style.

The newly announced IN Tamagotchi plushies were also on display, and they look even better in person!

Hi! I'm Athens/Andy (they/them). I am a somewhat old yet somewhat new face on writeblr. I'm currently a second year student at a university in the deep south, studying history and anthropology in order to become a museum curator. Most of my free time is spent writing, which is the driving force behind this blog. Writing has become the love of my life over the past ten years.

AthensWrites has had two prior iterations. All I posted here in the previous iteration was privated, including Not Your Typical Fairytale. Don't fear, NYTF will make a glorious return ;)

With all that said, welcome back to the odd writings of Athens, and I hope you enjoy your stay. Below the cut, I've detailed some of my current projects, which range from Sci-Fi (my favorite) to thrillers to fantasy to realistic fiction. I've highlighted key content warnings and tags for each, just to keep you aware. If you'd like to hop on a tag list for any of these stories, please let me know! Some of them I post more frequently than others. I am also very tag list and tag game friendly so PLEASE tag me in stuff. If you need other people to tag in a writeblr tag game, look no further than this post!

The collection is constantly updating and evolving, so stay tuned!

We're live, my friends. Let's get these two idiots together.

Night has fallen, and she’s backlit by the misty light coming from the gala below. The champagne glow of it catches in her golden hair, glints off the slightly reflective fibers of her suit. Her back is to you, and though you know she can hear even the slight uptick of your breathing at the sight of her, you allow yourself the indulgence of a moment to regard Supergirl leaning on her elbows against your balcony railing. How her head tilts almost pensively downward between her broad shoulders, her cape fluttering restlessly in the light breeze despite her stillness. “You know this isn’t really an entrance,” you tease. Kara doesn’t startle at your voice, and that betrayal of her super senses in that tiny way warms you, another data point in the growing catalogue of Kara’s trust in you. You come to join her on the balcony, leaning an elbow on the railing to face her. “People get suspicious when mild-mannered reporters fly forty stories up into the air,” she teases back, favoring you with a genuine but toothless smile as she turns her gaze to you. You don’t have trouble reading the guilt folded into the corners of her closed mouth. “I take it this isn’t a social call, then,” you say. The warmth dissipates from your chest a bit, as though Kara’s muted smile is a cloud keeping the sun at bay. Kara looks at you for a moment, and her eyes soften the longer she stares. You wait for her rejoinder, the rabbit of your mind hopping sadly from worse to worst case scenarios. You flex your jaw, an old coping trigger to stop an unreasonable mental spiral, and force your hands to still from where they’ve knotted together in your anxiety. “I haven’t been completely honest with you,” Kara says. “But I’d like to be, starting now.”
