Bandai UK Attends UK Toy Fair 2023 & Brings Impressive Tamagotchi Display

image source: Toy World Mag

It’s toy fair season! Bandai UK attended the UK Toy Fair 2023 this week. The UK Toy Fair is the UK’s largest dedicated toy, game and hobby trade show which is held annually. Similar to last year, where Bandai UK brought the unannounced and unreleased Tamagotchi Pix Party, and pictures got out. It looks like this year they are being more careful.

UK Toy Fair 2023 was held from Tuesday, January 24th 2023 through Thursday, January 26th, 2023, at Olympia London, a beautiful venue that hold the over 20 vendors. Bandai UK was at stand N17 and had quite an impressive Tamagotchi display!

The Tamagotchi display featured a bunch of Tamagotchi’s, more than we can count and more than are currently available in the UK! Bandai UK brought TinyTAN, Demon Slayer, Kingdom Hearts, Jujutsu Kaisen, Spy x Family, Hatsune Miku, Jurassic World, Star Wars, Grogu, Toy Story, Hello Kitty, and Tokyo Revengers Tamagotchi!

That’s right, Bandai UK hasn’t even announced some of those, and they were on display at the UK Toy Fair 2023! We even got a closeup look at the upcoming Tokyo Revenger Hug My Tamagotchi sets, which is the first time we are seeing them in person! All four were on display, including the two latest, Takemichi Hanagaki, and Chifuyu Matsuno. This confirms that these will be making their way into the UK, and if our memory serves is correctly, it’ll be the first Hug My Tamagotchi set in the UK!

If you look carefully at the picture above and pay close attention to the Tamagotchi Original section, you can see some new shells! Keep in mind it wasn’t too long ago where we saw some new Tamagotchi shell preorders drop on Amazon, and other retailers such as Greattoysonline and Hubbyte. We spy the Tama Universe, Memphis Style, and Garden Poppies shells for sure. There are some that we do not recognize and might be the ones we saw pop up online late last month, including Berry Delicious, Starry Night, and Kuchipatchi Comic Book.

IT’S TIME TO BATTLE AGAIN...

For fans of this iconic franchise, this needs NO introduction. For those of you curious but unaware of just how popular this series is, kick back. We’ve got this.

First hitting our PS3 consoles back in 2014 with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, the game is based on Hirohiko Araki's long-running Manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Characters from the first eight story arcs were in your control with battles taking place across various locations from the show. It was the perfect accompaniment for a completely hooked fanbase that had played their part in skyrocketing JoJo’s popularity from its first episode in 2012!

Fast forward to 2022 and to our major opportunity with Bandai Namco Entertainment which saw us launch the game’s remaster, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R EXCLUSIVELY here in the UK! Thanks again to everyone at BNE!

The remaster sees additional content with 50 colorful characters, wielding Stands, Hamon, and a whole lot more for this loyal fanbase to punch through with all of their manga-fueled might!

Take a spin through the game’s official Launch Trailer above and see where the blows land! We have a feeling it’ll be a straight shot to the shopping basket!

You can secure both Standard and Collector’s editions with us right here at The Game Collection!

If you’re looking to split the cost then you can pay-in-3, interest free with PayPal!

All JoJos Unite! Fight for your destiny...

-Jack

GENSHIKEN POWER LEVELS

12 Days of Aniblogging 2023, Day 10

For no particular reason, all the members of the Genshiken have had their abilities translated into specific parameters. It’s pretty obvious that A would be the strongest, but you might be thinking to yourself, “What on earth is all this B+ and C+ nonsense!?” Well, don’t worry, because I’m not going to explain anything here. Just consult the Servant Parameter Rules.

Overall, the ratings represent ‘otaku power expressed as deviance, taking combat potential into account’.

Spotted Flower spoilers follow. (everyone is bisexual now).

Sasahara Kanji: C+, B

Condition: Green

An “average” otaku in nearly all respects, though he has good taste and the ability to distance himself and speak objectively, even when under attack by girls. Can appreciate yaoi in some situations. As a manga editor, of course, his power increases, and his devotion to his waifu is commendable. The Gunpla Quiz gave him the Ball as his favorite mobile suit, and he’s also a Patwaber fan!

Still… Ahhh! Men who get in the way of Yuri are unforgivable!

Kousaka Makoto A-

BAYOEN! BAYOEN! BAYOEN! BAYOEN! BAYOEN!

Extremely high base stats, a very scary offense and near-perfect defense, that pretty-boy face, perfect crossdressing, and the ability to make it all look effortless. Capable of going at it for half an hour while also watching anime! He can pull girls for threesomes whenever he wants! (not Saki though). He’s a master of the Great Tanaka Rensa technique! That kind of power is truly fearsome… However, a kiss on the cheek from Sasahara was super effective.

Harunobu Madarame. C++/--

Sou Uke

A lot of pros, a lot of cons. However, it all balances out to an average C. This guy is the very picture of a normal otaku… or at least, he tries to be. Low base stats, excellent coverage and decent utility, but he suffers from four moveslot syndrome. Capable of entering a gay relationship, and even bottoming, although the circumstances were not particularly praiseworthy. Easily punishable, due to his excessive recovery frames.

…I can’t decide if cheating on his wife on the night she gave birth to their child is something that raises or lowers his power level.

Mitsunori Kugayama C-

Level 27 Ranger

A pretty skilled artist, when he has to be. Usually he doesn’t have to be, so that’s fine. Manages to live a nice normal life without drama, and that counts for a lot – but he’s pretty conflict-averse.

Souichirou Tanaka. B

P-Bandai 1/100 MG Master Grade Ver. Ka

Capable of successfully synthesizing 2d and 3d by sewing cosplay, building gunpla, and even making custom figurines. Tanaka definitely understands the power of care and love. That’s not the kind of power you can take lightly.

The type to mostly just block attacks until he sees an opening.

Kasukabe Saki E

Blood Type: AB

An otaku-sounding name, but a low power level. Not actually very good at conflict, either. Still, she has been to Comiket Comifest! Don’t count her out.

Ohno Kanako D+, B

Wears a Three Star Uniform

Just wants to be a pretty cosplay mannequin with no internality – until Ogiue shows up, and then the gloves come off. You can really tell the devs put a lot of effort into that jiggling, huh. Don’t take her lightly though: she built seven Goufs.

Her victory line, “There’s no such thing as a girl who hates homos!!”, does feel really out of place after a round win against Hato though.

The Genshiken President ???

BLOOD TYPE: BLUE

A mystery to the last.

Angela Burton – C+

“Unlike your chest, mine gives people dreams and desires.”

You’d think that not being able to understand all those doujinshi she’s buying would make her a weak otaku – but in practice not speaking Japanese just makes her really good at dodging attacks. Extremely high attack power. Eventually becomes an enlightened being capable of appreciating both Yaoi and Yuri and, uh, demanding threesomes from her friends. Hm.

Suzanna Hopkins – B+

Pettan Pettan Tsurupettan

Today I’ll sneakily hide in the trees again and keep stalking Ogiue! I'll wait and steal the precious thing! The little girl who speaks in nothing but references is actually really blushing?! She sticks out her arms when she runs; is she going for the cute look?

This fanservice joke girl (evil spirit begone!) /

born into the nation of America (probably plays puyo puyo)/

was actually, canonically, (Kadabra, Alakazam)/

bisexual??????? (Mada Mada Ra, Mada Mada Ra, Mada Mada Rame, yeah!)/

Manabu Kuchiki – E

Stand Parameter: Development Potential E

The other kind of joke character. Like Sue, he’s a grappler, but he just doesn’t have enough options or ability to adjust to matchups. Gets points for liking traps, but loses them for one-note misogyny; gets points for kissing Madarame but loses them for being boring. Starts a lot of conflict but easy and uninteresting to deal with; he always goes for the super so you just have to bait it out and then smash attack him.

If that wasn’t enough, I personally hate this guy because if not for him Hato and Madarame totally would have done That!!!!!

Ogiue Chika D+, A

Genshiken Brigade Chief and Ultra Fujoshi Director

Incredible otaku power – enough to draw doujinshi of people she knows in real life and easily grasp the truth of Kifujin Kaminaga’s “Hato x Brother” madness. She does constantly try to kill herself and deny her heart but once she stops doing that she’s capable of producing incredible amounts of manga. Ends up with a boyfriend and a girlfriend but complains that sexually satisfying them both takes away from her drawing time. She’s bad at dealing with conflict but her pure ‘level of ability as an otaku’ is close to the top of the rankings.

This ranking is curtain fire shooting game.

Girls do their best now and are preparing. Please watch warmly until it is ready.

The border land was wrapped in Scarlet Magic. Girls believe that you solve this Genshiken Nidaime.

Yoshitake Rika C+++

Nen Type: Manipulator (Pseudo-Coercive).

A demon of chaos. Her power as a fujoshi is fairly standard, but she devotes herself wholeheartedly to causing problems and drama – and in this capacity she’s powerful enough to approach Hato. All her moves have random components… in serious play nobody uses her but among casual players she’s often considered broken.

Yoshitake Risa D

Noble Phantasm Rank C

It’s all fictional anyway but girl. what is wrong with you. Fails to appreciate Hato, but does get Hato to wear fetish clothing, so that’s a bonus. The gap between her appearance and her personality is moe.

Mirei Yajima D+, A-

Self-Proclaimed Uncute Girl Doing Uncute Things

Toiling away in the shonen mines, convinced that someday Naruto and Sasuke will kiss for real no you just don’t understand the depths of their relationship. A terrible artist, and she knows it. Grouchy and grumbly and insecure about her gender presentation, especially with Hato around.

But she’s a good writer, and a good editor, and she knows what she wants (Hato) and how to get it. My second favorite character honestly; I really love the way her complexes towards and around Hato play out. “He needs to have sex with a guy so we can draw better manga, which is the only way to make sure he stays with me!” Yajimacchi are you okay? (no she is not. She has way too much internality).

Kenjirou Hato. A++

Super High School Level Homewrecker

What is Hato’s otaku level? Let’s review: Hato is a crossdresser with a foundational crush on his older brother’s EX-level fujoshi girlfriend, going so far as to dress up as her, copy her drawing style well enough to end up with a wall circle spot at Comifest, and blush when she tells him “Hey. I’m getting married to your brother soon. It’d be really hot if you dressed up as me and fucked my husband-to-be, your brother, as revenge on me for taking him away from you.”

Hato has a naked floating tulpa girl of his fujoshi self floating around behind him who does things like make him smell his senpai’s bedsheets and shower in his room, hoping Madarame will walk in on him. Once he's in deep enough with all of this, he gains a second naked floating tulpa girl of his fujoshi self who has the same eyes as his older brother's girlfriend and is Evil. Hato then integrates both of them and keeps crossdressing after a conversation with Ogiue about what he really wants to be and what he wants to draw.

Hato is out of his fucking mind. I love him.

Hato’s conflict potential is also extremely high. Not only was he a judoka (who spent time in the locker room looking at other boys’ bodies and thinking about yaoi) he expertly plays all kinds of “ohhhh you should just give up on me” women games with Madarame’s pure maidenly heart.

And then Spotted Flower happens. Spotted Flower is a moiling toxic sexual swamp of barely-holding-together relationships and threesomes where your good old favorite Genshiken buddies are now bi (Kousaka, Sasahara, Sue, Ogiue, Angela, and Yajima, in addition to original series bisexuals Madarame and Hato) and cheating on each other. Everybody hates Spotted Flower and they’re so wrong.

By the time of Spotted Flower, Hato is living as a woman full time, with silicone implants.

Regrettably, I have no choice but to stan.

Been a while since I last shared my Ben 10 collection! Except for the wolves and DVDs, I limit myself to what I can find at physical flea markets, so the growth is slow but steady.

The DNA Hero wolf (big one on the left) was imported from Australia and the Metamorfigures wolf (big one on the right) is from the UK. I also have a Bandai Mini waiting for me in Germany and a Transforming Rock in the US, but they're currently held by trusted collector friends, so I'm in no hurry to get them.

Collecting at this slow pace has been really fun! I've met a lot of other toy collectors over the last 4 years, of all age ranges and personalities and fields of interests (though, only one who also collects Ben 10). I'll never stop collecting toys :D

Whenever I see Precure fans say things like 'They should make a Precure season that's more mature or adult' or 'Precure needs to start appealing more to the older fanbase', I get so confused and annoyed and I just need to say this in big text (so people can read it):

PRECURE IS A SHOUJO FRANCHISE TARGETED TOWARDS YOUNG JAPANESE GIRLS

That is who these shows are meant for, IIRC 'officially' the target demographic is something like 5-12 year old girls but from I've seen actual Japanese Precure fans say, a lot of girls view themselves as having outgrown Precure by 1st grade (obviously this doesn't mean there's no girls older than 5 who like Precure, just as a thing to keep in mind when talking about the audience for this series)

And yes, I am aware of the whole 'Toei and Bandai also include 16-35 year old men [not 100% of those are the exact age group] as a Precure demographic' thing too (although I'll admit I've never actually seen any things from Toei/Bandai stating this is a demographic they aim Precure towards, so I'll admit I take this with a mild grain of salt - don't doubt they release some merch meant for the older fanbase) but the primary audience of this series and the one they predominantly target it towards is the young girl audience.

But the point I'm trying to say here is that wanting a Precure season aimed towards adults is basically saying that you want a Precure season that isn't Precure. (And saying you want a 'more mature' season in conjunction with saying you want a season meant for adults is basically you admitting you think children's shows can't cover more mature topics - when they very well can).

And wanting Precure to start appealing more towards the older fanbase is dumb too because we are not the primary audience here, hell we're not even the secondary audience. The Western Precure fandom is still fairly small and niche, relatively speaking. Toei isn't making the show for us! They're not trying to cater to the tastes of teenage and adult fans living in the US, the UK, Australia, wherever you live as a non-Japanese fan!

Sometimes I honestly wonder if it's insecurity more than anything else. Like there's one Precure fan on the subreddit who's made multiple posts talking about 'Precure needs to start appealing more to the teenage boy demographic' and that honestly just tells me that they are a teenage boy who's insecure about liking a show meant for little girls, so they want Toei to change it so they won't be insecure about liking it anymore. (Somewhat relatedly, I'm pretty sure this is the same person who's posted multiple times talking about their idea for a military-themed Precure season where they talk about how the Precure would be a special forces team and they'd be snapping enemy necks, using firearms, and all this other weird military fetish shit AND talked about how they could imagine Cure Flamingo spinning around on a stripper pole because of her design having fishnet stockings around the time Tropical Rouge started and, when everyone called them out for this, insisted that there was nothing wrong with what they were saying and that 'Toei knew what they were doing when they designed Flamingo' 🤢🤢🤢🤢)

But anyways yeah, just let Precure be what it is! If you want it to be more 'adult' or 'appealing to the older fanbase', just please stop I beg of you.

Marugame Udon Waterloo Station Opening Tamagotchi Challenge

Marugame Udon, the largest Udon Noodles chain in the world recently opened a new (8th) location in Waterloo Station, London! To help celebrate, Marugame Udon gave away 100 Tamagotchi Original’s to the first 100 guests that were queued up to enter the restaurant on opening day, January 12th, 2023. Tamagotchi and stay out int he cold, waited in queue in hopes to get their hands on a free Tamagotchi, and a delicious bowl of udon noodles!

The first 100 guests that got their hands on the Tamagotchi Original, and one of the newer shells too we may add, would earn additional prizes based on how they cared for their Tamagotchi. How awesome is this?

The official Tamagotchi UK account posted a video of the rather impressive line! These guests had to keep their Tamagotchi’s alive in exchange for a delicious prize! If they kept their Tamagotchi alive for 7 days, they would earn a free breakfast Udon, and for 28 days, they would get free udon for a year!

Caretakers have to post a picture of their Tamagotchi’s lifespan along with their unique number tag on social media by February 12th, 2023. In return, Marugame Udon would send out the prizes to qualifying winners! Talk about an awesome restaurant opening!

Haha dang it.

Had a dream I finally found an Ojiro figurine in a local nerd shop, bought it, then because I was the only person in the UK who bought one, they sent loads of other unsellable Ojiro figures to that shop, and to say I was living my best life was an understatement.

Bandai Namco, Funko, Bellfine, Good Smile Company-- any of you guys please bite the bullet and bring out a proper Ojiro figure, I'm begging 😭

Callie Callie I need your help—

should I trust Walmart or nah ??? they got these little shit heads & by the gods I am tempted 👀👀

Eeeehhhh I tend to distrust most American big box type sites when it comes to buying authentic merch, in general. Walmart is no different than Ali Express or Amazon when it acts as a shopping cart aggregator for a million small retailers that might or might not plan to ship you the real thing.

Especially for amusement prizes, I prefer to buy from someone who actually went to the prize machines and won them (eBay or Yahoo Auctions) or a site that is reputable for reselling these kinds of items legit. I used UK-based Dekai Anime for a couple recent gashapon orders and they were great.

Bandai has a semi-functional search feature to search for gashapon retailers near you, too. Hope this helps!

Visited the Bandai Gashapon Store in the Meadowhall Shopping Centre, Sheffield, UK yesterday. They did have some Tamagotchi items, but it was the One Piece collab stuff, which I'm not interested in. But I got these cuties!
