Bandai’s iconic handheld digital pet toy, Tamagotchi, is turning 30! For this special milestone, the toy company has partnered with Uniqlo UT for a limited edition collaboration featuring a collection of T-shirts and a special edition themed shell.
This upcoming UT collection draws inspiration from the pixel art of the Original Tamagotchi, capturing the nostalgic charm of the living Tamagotchi in its simple yet expressive digital world. The official site just revealed the product lineup, which includes four graphic t-shirt designs and the UT Original Tamagotchi. The collection is said to go on sale mid-December this year, but other stores in the region may have varying launch dates and availability.
The shirts come in a relaxed fit designed for women, available in white, black, and lavender. Each shirt is priced at JPY1,990 and features adorable Tamagotchi graphics that capture the charm of the beloved virtual pet. One standout design shows the classic blue Tamagotchi with the cheeky line, “Needs constant care and attention.” Sizes range from XS to 3XL, so there’s a fit for everyone.
Meanwhile, the UT x Tamagotchi collab channels nostalgia with a design inspired by the original device’s shell, dressed in the brand’s signature red and white. Priced at JPY2,990, it showcases familiar Generation 1 characters and elements that long-time fans will recognize instantly.
