Tamagotchi 30th revivals: New Species Found Blue and Angel Peal Pink

Bandai is bringing two more retro Tamagotchi shells back on October 17. Both the 30th Revival Original Tamagotchi New Species Found!! Blue and the Angel Peal Pink are priced at 3,080 yen including tax and marked for ages 6 and older. Blue reprints the old “New Species Discovered!!” look in blue and yellow and runs the GEN2 program, which can raise Mimitchi. Angel Peal Pink reprints Tenshitchi’s pearl-pink design on the GEN3 program, which can raise Kuriten.

Care play is the classic loop: feed them, clean up, treat illness, then train and play mini-games. How they are raised changes what they grow into. Each set is the device plus an electronic manual, with a test CR2032 battery, and a ball chain so it can hang on a bag. Bandai notes some on-screen text is in English. The pair is the second wave of the 30th-anniversary retro design series on Bandai’s toy site.

Plarail Air: an ANA jet on the blue rail, out October 1

Takara Tomy put a plane on Plarail track October 1. Plarail Air: Fly All Around! ANA Passenger Plane Set has a suggested retail price of 8,800 yen including tax. It is an all-in-one set of an ANA jet, track, and a map sheet. The company says this is the first Plarail collaboration with All Nippon Airways. The jet raises and lowers its landing gear and banks on curves.

The new trick is building the blue rail upright so the plane climbs and dives instead of only running flat on a table. The map sheet, plus separately sold Plarail vehicles and Tomica cars, can turn the layout into an airport and a town. Takara Tomy is selling it through toy specialists, department-store and mass toy departments, Tomica and Plarail shops, ANA FESTA airport stores, ANA Shopping A-style, other online stores, and Takara Tomy Mall.

Pokopia Moncolle: mossy Snorlax and Lapras Ditto, 715 yen

Two new Moncolle figures from Pokémon Pokopia went on sale October 1. Takara Tomy’s official Pokopia collection page lists Moncolle Pokopia Collection Snorlax (moss-covered) and Ditto (Lapras transformation) at 715 yen including tax each, with an October 1 release. Game Watch, reporting the same launch, says both figures are about 4 cm tall and sculpt the Pokémon as they appear in the Nintendo Switch 2 game Pokopia.

The mossy Snorlax is product code 4904810058595 and the Lapras-form Ditto is 4904810058601, and both are linked to Takara Tomy Mall from the collection page. They sit alongside the August 29 Pokopia Moncolle wave, including the town playset and earlier Ditto forms, so the line is already a small display, not a one-off. No age grade is printed on the collection tiles.

Beyblade X CX-00 Tiga Rage, the Ultraman Tiga starter

Beyblade X’s CX-00 Starter Tiga Rage FT3-60T went on sale September 12 at 2,750 yen including tax. Takara Tomy built it as a collaboration for Ultraman Tiga’s 30th anniversary and the Ultraman series’ 60th. Colored parts swap to echo Tiga’s three forms, Multi Type, Sky Type, and Power Type. It is a balance type and includes a winder launcher styled after the Spark Lance.

Distribution is narrow. Takara Tomy says it is sold at authorized B4 stores, Ultraman World M78 online, and some Ultraman shops, not at Ultraman World M78 physical stores, and stock varies by shop. It needs a separate Beyblade X stadium and launcher. The company warns it must not be played with other Beyblade series, including Burst, and that paint can wear off in use.

Anpanman Hajimete House DX, six dolls, October 10

Bandai’s Anpanman Hajimete House DX, billed as a first house full of friends where the bread rolls, is scheduled for October 10 at 11,000 yen including tax. The age mark is 2 and older. The set adds doll play around Anpanman’s house and includes six dolls: Anpanman, Uncle Jam, Baikinman, Dokin-chan, Kokin-chan, and Cheese, plus five pieces of bread.

Bandai’s product page calls out a stove, a front-door chime, and a toilet among the sound and finger-play features, so the house is built for routine pretend play rather than a single gimmick. Bandai labels the photos as illustrative. For the Japan preschool aisle, it is a character house at a gift price, landing the same week as the Tamagotchi revivals.

Anpanman block bucket: a bread factory for ages 3 and up

A week later, Bandai’s Anpanman Block Bucket arrives October 17 at 8,800 yen including tax, for ages 3 and older. The bucket is meant to build both a bread factory and a big house. Inside are a stove for baking, a kitchen for cooking, and other pretend-play parts. Blocks can be rebuilt into a child’s own factory.

The set also includes food and small-item parts, a television whose screen changes, and a seesaw for hand play. Contents are two dolls, 72 block pieces, and one play-support sheet. The bucket doubles as the storage case. It is a construction-and-pretend SKU rather than a doll house, and it gives Anpanman a second October drop beside the Hajimete House DX.
