Another Unreleased Tamagotchi Shell Spotted on History Display
Those 25th anniversary history displays are really showing some interesting shells. We spotted an unreleased Chamemetchi shell back in April of 2022, and now we see yet another shell that was not released. This new shell is a beautiful blue with yellow accents around the screen and key charm, and it reads “Kinza 100% Family” around the screen.
Kinza means the enduring bonds between people—close relationships forged through mutual trust and support. This makes a lot of sense for a Famitama that is focused on family.
The original poster of the image, Kiri_tmgc on Instagram claims the picture was taken of the history display at a Tamagotchi Smart event. Have you seen this shell before?

Tamagotchi V5 Customisation Guide: Painting
This is part 3 of my tamagotchi customisation series, showing how to paint a tamagotchi.
For the rest of the series, click here:
Part 1 - Dissasembly
Part 2 - Painting prep
Part 4 - Reassembly
Part 5 - Overview
Obligatory disclaimer - I'm not responsible for any damage caused to your tamagotchi, you do this at your own risk. I'm just showing what I did!
You will need:
- A tamagotchi (disassembled and taped)
- Matte spray paint
- Paint pens
- Glossy clear sealant spray
- Newspaper
This is a do as I say, not as I do situation. If you care about the surface you're painting on, spend time actually covering it with newspaper, and take wind direction into account. I was not super invested in protecting this grass from the paint and now theres a weird white patch on my lawn. But it'll grow out!
I'm not going to pretend to know enough about paint to give solid recommendations. If you know more about paint than I do, use your own knowledge and make good decisions. If you don't, maybe do some research!
Personally, I went with mtn water based spray paint in matte white. Make sure whatever you choose advertises itself to be used on plastic.
To decorate, I used posca paint pens. For my design I used blue, pink, green and yellow.
To seal it, I used craft sealer from hobbycraft, because posca pens recommend using a water based sealer. I know Mr Super Clear is popular, but this was cheaper so it's what I went with. So far, it's holding up well!
This is where the pencils are super useful, especially when painting on grass like I was. Stab them into the ground, then spray the shell. Once again, I'm no expert. I recommend watching a youtube video if you don't know how. Keep the first coat light. If you miss any parts, you can get them in the 2nd coat.
Another benefit of the lollipops! They held the shells very easily for drying. I just poked them into the gaps in this table.
Best to follow the instructions of your specific spray paint for this. Personally, I did two coats, with 30mins between them, but my paint had a faster dry time since it's water based. Then, I left them overnight to ensure they were 100% dry before using the paint pens.
Now for the fun bit! Decorating the shell!
TamaShell is such a good resource for inspiration. I loved the half and half look of this shell so I used that as a starting point. My tama has yellow buttons, so I also incorporated that into my design. I wanted mine to look like an official tama design, so I put the face on the house and matched it with the button colour.
Paint pens are pretty self explanatory. I drew the outline of my design, and then filled it in. I had to go over some colours a few times to stop the white from peeking through. Unfortunately I forgot to take any photos of it after I added the details, but you'll see those soon enough! The good thing about paint pens that if you make a mistake, you can just paint over it! Avoid unnecessary stress by having a paint pen in the spray paint colour if you can. The pressure to not get any paint on the white parts was a lot and could have easily been avoided.
When you're 100% happy with your design, it's time to seal it.
Back to lollipop mode. Cover any unpainted parts in tape, then put them back on the pencils. Follow the instructions on your sealer. I did two coats, and left it to dry for half an hour between them. Sealer is really important because not only will it protect the tamagotchi from wear and tear, but it will also give your tamagotchi a really nice glossy feel. It wont be identical to an original tamagotchi, but it makes it feel more official.
Once that's done, make sure the sealer is dry and then it's time to put it all back together!

Tamagotchi 25th Anniversary History Display Also Reveals Unreleased Familitchi Chamametchi Shell
It’s the display that keeps on giving. Didn’t we see a unique Tamagotchi on it recently? A fan was visiting the 25th anniversary mini pop-up store at Yodobashi Camera Hakata in Japan and captured an image of the history board with a closer look at the Familitchi shell. As we were looking at the image, we noticed a Familitchi shell that was never released, we even check the Project TamaShell website to verify.
The shell features Chamametchi’s iconic pink on the top of the shell, and her skin tone on the bottom half of the shell. It also features several Chamametchi’s all over with a bunch of hearts. The buttons are a light pink, and the key is Chamametchi’s skin tone.
This shell is adorable, and based on the design, and of course it being in the Tamagotchi History display, would have been exclusive to Japan back in 2007. We wonder why this shell was never released to the general public because it is absolutely beautiful!

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States, and the start of the holiday season! That's why I've decided to start running my v5 Familitchi, because what's more important this time of year than family?
