NYCC ‘26 Product announcements
During Saturday’s “30 years of Tamagotchi” panel, even more products were announced such as the Neon Planets Tamagotchi Paradise which will release on November 21st, 2026 with pre-orders available on Amazon. Also announced are the pastel-blue silicone case for Tamagotchi Paradise models as well as a black and 30th anniversary lanyard. The panel also revealed the long-awaited My Lab Tamagotchi, a portable accessory based on the Lab Tama kiosks designed for use with Tamagotchi Paradise. Users can also unlock outside toys, decorations, and items which can be transferred to a Tamagotchi Paradise when connected. It’s something I’ve been hoping would be announced once I heard about its announcement in September for the Japanese version.
The panel also unveiled the Tamagotchi Rings, a new line of functioning Tamagotchi devices designed to be worn as rings. They feature feeding mechanics, mini-games, room customization, and a sleep mode with colored screens and a dedicated charging case. They are available in three colors: Aurora White x Pink, Gold x Light Blue, and Silver x Black. The rings are scheduled for a March 2027 release.
The Original Tamagotchi and its revivals were also announced include the Winter series of Original Tamagotchi models and the Original models + A Collectibles Figure Set. Walmart will have 2 exclusive Original Tamagotchi models: The 30th anniversary Tama Space Purple and the Beach Day versions. Coming soon to EB Games, Best Buy, MiniSo, Barnes & Nobles, and Boxlunch are the 30th anniversary Original Tamagotchi revivals which will come in 6 variants.
There is also the 30th anniversary collectibles set which include: 6 Tamagotchi Collectibles 30th Anniversary Volume 2 set for a February 2027 release, 6 Tamamori Accessory 30th Anniversary collectibles releasing on January 2027, and 3 Sweet Fragrance Friends – Tamagotchi collectibles also releasing on January 2027.
