BAPE & Tamagotchi Mix Up Digital Pets With Streetwear In New Collaboration
Prepare to step into a time machine of nostalgia as two iconic brands, BAPE and Tamagotchi, join forces to unveil a capsule collection that will ignite nostalgia. This collaboration consists of a range of co-branded offerings comprising limited-edition Tamagotchi gaming devices and BAPE apparel.
The Tamagotchi gaming units maintain their iconic egg-shaped design, allowing players to nurture their digital pets by feeding, training, and playing with them. The Tamagotchis come in three color options: green, blue, and pink. They draw inspiration from the design of the 1996 “first-generation Tamagotchi,” showcasing icons like ‘Mamecchi’ and ‘Oyajicchi’.
The BAPE-inspired style extends to the iconic camouflage pattern on the custom shell and LCD screen. Each Tamagotchi includes a neck strap and is available for purchase at ¥6,600 (US$59).
The apparel line includes three t-shirts and a hoodie that blends the imagery associated with both BAPE and Tamagotchi.
To acquire these virtual pet games and stylish garments, mark your calendar for October 14. They will be available through BAPE’s physical stores and website, as well as the Bandai site on October 15.
