Bandai Releases Tamagotchi UFO Swing Aurora Version In Five Types
An aurora repaint of an existing swing line plus a repeat-shipment plan is Bandai treating gashapon nostalgia as stock it expects to keep selling, not a one-run novelty.
Reporting from 1 source: Inside.
Bandai will release the gashapon "Tamagotchi UFO Swing ~Aurora ver.~" in the second week of October, priced at 300 yen with tax included. The lineup has five types: Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, Mimitchi, Maskutchi, and Ginjirouchi. Each design shows a Tamagotchi being abducted by a UFO, and the character attaches to the saucer with a canican clasp so buyers can swap the figures between them. Bandai plans multiple shipments after the initial release.
The mechanics carry over from the standard version: a canican clasp joins each Tamagotchi to the UFO, so the figure and saucer can be separated and recombined. That is the point of the line, and the new finish is a color variant rather than a new build.
The five characters are Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, Mimitchi, Maskutchi, and Ginjirouchi. Bandai has already said the set will ship multiple times after the initial run, which tells buyers the first batch is not expected to be the only one.
