Collaboration comes as Tamagotchi nears its 30th birthday<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n A toy has to have a pretty great design for its name to basically become the shorthand for its entire genre, but that\u2019s exactly the phenomenon-level of pop culture presence that the Tamagotchi<\/strong> achieved. Toymaker Bandai first released the pioneering digital pets in 1996, and as they get closer to celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2026, they\u2019re teaming up with Uniqlo for a new line of T-shirts, and also a new Uniqlo Tamagotchi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Four different Tamagotchi designs are coming to Uniqlo\u2019s UT graphic T-shirt collection<\/strong>, starting with this one that references how the aspects that seemed like unpleasant chores to naysayers were the exact elements that made Tamagotchis feel like living creatures and allowed fans to form emotional bonds with them.<\/p>\n Though the above design is plain on the back, all three of the other shirts feature Tamagotchi art no matter which angle you\u2019re looking at them from. Here, for example, you\u2019ve got \u201cTamagotchi\u201d written across the chest in a pixelated \u201990s font\u2026<\/p>\n \u2026and a variety of Tamagotchi toys and forms on the back<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Arguably the biggest blast of nostalgia comes when you flip this shirt around<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n \u2026and see the hunger and happiness status displays and feeding options<\/strong> from the original Tamagotchi models.<\/p>\n Rounding off the shirt selection is this understated design with Mametchi<\/strong>, the Tamagotchi form that often serves as a mascot for the franchise as a whole, on the front\u2026<\/p>\n \u2026and a column of other forms on the back near the waist hem.<\/p>\n Finally, Uniqlo is also offering a special Tamagotchi<\/strong> itself, in the red-and-white color scheme that Uniqlo uses in its logo.<\/p>\n \u25bc In keeping with the throwback vibes, the Uniqlo Tamagotchi is a Gen 1 version.<\/p>\n Uniqlo\u2019s crossover T-shirts are usually offered in a men\u2019s\/unisex cut, but these are an exception, as the Tamagotchi shirts are women\u2019s items. They\u2019re all priced at 1,990 yen (US$13.25), and the Uniqlo Tamagotchi at 2,990 yen. They\u2019ll all be on sale from mid-December, and available then through the Uniqlo online store here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Uniqlo<\/a> via Nijimen<\/a><\/em> Collaboration comes as Tamagotchi nears its 30th birthday.
