Bandai announces Stranger Things collaboration Tamagotchi

Bandai is releasing a special collaboration model, the Original Tamagotchi Stranger Things, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Netflix series Stranger Things. The device features a unique LCD screen that is inverted to represent the Upside Down, a central setting in the show.

The device utilizes the GEN1 program, allowing users to care for characters like Mametchi through traditional gameplay including feeding, cleaning, and playing mini-games. The product includes a dedicated collaboration design case with a ball chain for use as a fashion accessory.

Pre-orders are scheduled to begin on November 6 at the Bandai Official Online Store and other retailers. The product is set for release on February 27, 2027, with a retail price of 3,300 yen.
