Tamagotchi V5.5 news

Tue, Oct 21

Hi all, Bandai contacted me yesterday and told me about the V5.5...apparently this won't be the American/European version of the Royal Famita after all. There will be new colors and a new family. I'm guessing that the new family will be a different pure family from the ones we have seen on the regular V5. I will be posting a picture of the new designs as soon as they are out. Anyway, here's a copy-paste of what Bandai told me:

Jesmond:

Thank you for your support of Tamagotchi Connection. We do not have an official V5.5 but rather a refresh of the V5. Same shape and concept with about 12 new colors/designs. The new images should be updated onto www.tamagotchi.com sometime soon. The front of the packaging for these toys still says V5 but the back does promote how you can now raise the characters to become a celebrity type family!

Edit: I was reading some Tamagotchi Celebrity (the V5.5) logs and I can confirm that the V5.5 is the American/European version of the Japanese royal Tamagotchi.
