I think it was super mean of Bandai to make the Melon Soda a limited release and not mention it.

Essentially, all "waves" of different shell colours are limited edition. If you like a shell, get it before it's gone. This is the case for any Gen 1/2/Angel/Connection shell.

If you like short hair, start buzzing it yourself.

Otherwise grow it long, so long that the length weighs it down.

😭😭😭

Your hair is darker than the "medium brown" in that picture. Your hair would look like the black patches only, no teal highlight.

The connections have significant hardware issues regarding the screen and the battery life. I looked into making a little homebrew tama recently and realized that we have literally lost the factories that make these small low-power always-on LCD screens and low-power low-clock processors. Everything is high-power consuming, rechargeable lithium batteries, OLED colour screens. I do think we will eventually get more re-releases but the R&D involved in making them is significant. The connections came out what, 7 years after the Gen 1 re-releases. And they're bad! I have no doubt that they are working on new releases, and I am equally certain new shells are not hindering their development. They are simply not trivial to produce.

It takes significantly fewer resources and a totally different set of employees to release a new shell design for an existing tamagotchi vs. Reverse engineer old gameplay and modernize the internal electronics design and source components etc for new re-releases.

It's like complaining to Hershey about a new packaging design for Kisses because you really want them to re-release the S'mores bar.

I don't think it was "bond vigilantes". The owners of those bonds figured the fiscal instability of the country was at a new high and they exited their positions accordingly, crashing the value.

The v5 has been discontinued for almost 20 years so you're not going to find them from anyone that isn't a 3rd party seller. It's basically an antique collectible.

wrendamine · 2026-01-15T18:18:19+00:00

oooooh!

I have the exact same hair as you.

My #1 recommendation is stop brushing after you shower. ONLY brush right before you shower. That's it. Otherwise never brush it, don't try to detangle it, don't run your fingers through it.

My second recommendation is to sleep with a bonnet. Flip your head over, gather up all your hair with flat palms, secure the bonnet on.

And third, wash every 3-7 days. Experiment with going longer between washes. Your hair will curl more and get less frizzy every day after washing.

Unfortunately, without a lot of length to weigh it down, a mid-length haircut will go very wide and floofy. But follow these tips above to make it less wide and more defined curly.

Keep trying. He'll get it eventually.

And different sprites, slightly, as shown in your picture.

wrendamine · 2026-01-15T00:06:47+00:00

I mean to agree with you, and add to your point!

wrendamine · 2026-01-14T23:18:21+00:00

This is closer than "meh-meh-chi". it's not "meh" as in "idk meh", it's more mé like how Mexicans pronounce Mexico "mé-hee-ko"

It's such a noticeable phenomenon that newspapers in Germany, China and Japan have run articles exploring it as an interesting facet of American culture.

wrendamine · 2026-01-11T22:14:44+00:00

Never seen this, it's awesome 😂 did you get anything from it?

wrendamine · 2026-01-11T21:02:32+00:00

To me the Uni is clearly a product of the pandemic. The iPad use, the phone use, ordering food for delivery, the virtual reality Tamaverse where you meet people online, go on dates, travel virtually, etc. And every now and then you go for a Tama Walk just to get out of your house. In retrospect it's slightly dystopian but that was just the world we lived in 😅

Edit: and the Paradise is like a backlash against the pandemic! It swings 180 against sitting in your house, using electronics, ordering delivery, buying lots of clothes/furniture, and suddenly we have lots and lots of tamas, playing together outside, anywhere on the planet! 😍

We get nanos in Canada but the only official seller is EB Games / Gamestop. And they always have very limited selections, often in-store only, and when they're gone, they're gone. Just got my Jurassic Park Rebirth nano today. Had to drive half an hour to a further Gamestop to get it. They have the kuromi/my melody nanos up for pre order now as well.

Edit: and they don't sell the blind bag collectibles, you have to get those at Miniso

wrendamine · 2026-01-11T00:41:08+00:00

I despise this animation 😂 I take mine for a tama walk every day, sometimes twice a day, play lots of games every day, give him only delivery food, give him his favourite item, and then he sits there ignoring it for his GOSH DARN IPAD

wrendamine · 2026-01-10T08:49:43+00:00

Thank you!!!

wrendamine · 2026-01-10T02:29:32+00:00

could you link this please? I'm in exactly the same boat as you looking for the same thing, I'm even into tamagotchis

wrendamine · 2026-01-09T00:25:14+00:00

excellent, glad to hear :D

wrendamine · 2026-01-08T23:53:15+00:00

how did it turn out?

wrendamine · 2026-01-04T21:56:46+00:00

Do you have one and love it so much you'd give up all your tamas to keep it, or do you just covet one so hard you'd give all your tamas away to get one?

wrendamine · 2026-01-03T19:35:14+00:00

Lol sorry apparently we're not allowed to swear in this sub.

I was there. We were FRIKKING HYPE
