Great Desk Toy. Great toy for kids. (For under $20)
Its a simple tamagotchi. This is an angel one and only has 5 final characters apparently. I like it so far and for the sale price its worth it. (Under $18 at time.)I am a 36yo man and wanted a desk toy to get off my phone but also remind me to take breaks from my computer screen and desk during work. Tamagotchi does just that. I work from home so I can leave the beeps on and get reminders.I am thinking of getting some for my nieces and nephews. Just be careful youre getting the kind you want, there are regular tamagotchi and angel tamagotchi. And yes there is a way to turn off the sound. Wish it had a pedometer feature in 2026. 5 stars for under $20 price.

Love it
Had no idea that tamagotchis were still being made. I absolutely love this thing it brings me back to being a kid. There's so many cases to choose from and the price is affordable.

Fun game!
I purchased this for my daughter as a nostalgic gift. The size is the same as before and it’s easy to use. The quality is good as well.

Tamagotchi party
This item truly nostalgic, had bought this for my self just because I was feeling nostalgic than bought another one because it was tending in my home with my two other girls so now my daughters have them too and it's been fun taking care of these guys and laughing and sharing each tomagotchi mile stone. It is super challenging tasking a tama life and your own but this been fun! with a toddler well it sure creates a fun twist plus it's been really neat to see how my girls are becoming responsible. Ultimately reached the highest best level in the tama world. Check it out for your self wether your 7 yrs old or 100 it's for everyone. This experience also has had me be more intentional with my girls and less screen time on the phone. It's a fun way to take a break from the day to day phone screen time.

it’s fun to have on you for nostalgia
not as needy as i remember! you can also mute the tamohatchi by holding down the A and C buttons when needed. it’s fun to have on you and for the value it’s a great digital simple pet. It’s exactly how i remembered tamagotchis being when i was younger except it not being backlit

Tamagotchi Original - Avocado Mix
What a fun gift for a 33 year old! My co-worker was having a birthday, she's a bit of a quirky type. I found this Tamagotchi Original - Avocado Mix and knew it was perfect for her crunchy-granola vibe. She loved it! We had so much fun getting it all set up and the office staff checking in to see how her "baby" was growing. It is still a good quality, fun product. As we age it is a little harder to see that little screen.

Very fun to play with BUT teaches responsibility harshly... 10+
So it was very fun to play with, it's like a little digital pet you have to take care of. It beeps when it needs something.SCROLL DOWN IF YOU WANT A SHORT HELPFUL GUIDE ON HOW TO CARE FOR IT :) vvvWHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR/TIPS & TRICKS:- A button is the button on the left. B button is the button in the middle. C button is the button on the right.- If it isn't taken good care of, the pet will 'die' aka it flys back up to its home planet. You can get a new one if you reset but it isn't the same pet and if your kid is below 9 they will most likely become distraught over it dying- If you feed it too many snacks (the cake) it will die before it turns into a teenager! You can feed it the burger only.- If it isn't disciplined or played with enough or it's weight is too high it will grow up to become an unattractive bad mannered alien.- When it needs something, it beeps. You can silence it (although that is the #1 leading cause of tamagotchi deaths) but if your children go to school then you need to take care of it while they are at school, unless you want them to be checking their tamagotchi every 10 minutes or having it beep. If they are in middle school or higher, then they can put it on their backpack and check it between periods/at lunch time.- Discplining it is clicking the button with the little head that's speaking/yelling. If it beeps even though its hunger and happiness is full, you need to click that button to discipline it. The more you discipline, the less it will beep when not needed which is what we want. You also need to discipline it if it refuses to eat when hungry or play when unhappy.- HERE'S HOW TO PLAY THE GAME: When you click the play button, a number will appear on the left. If you think the number on the right (there is no number on the right YET) will be higher then it, click the B button. If you think the number that the number on the left will be higher then the number that will appear on the right, click the A button.- All the responsibilities might seem a little stressful, right? But as your tamagotchi grows up, it will become less maintenance.- It will eventually die of natural age LUCKILY things you can do to increase its lifespan are:- Keep in tiptop shape. My rule of thumb is even when it doesn't beep, check every 10-15 minutes. If a heart is gone for HUNGRY or HAPPINESS play with it or feed it!- Play with it. As much as possible. Not a lot but I'd recommend 30 minutes of play total a day. Playing with it also keeps its weight down, and the more it weighs the less it'll live :(- Only discipline when necessary!

Good item I'm so happy
I'm so happy about my Tamagotchi gen 1 Sakura that arrived in good condition safely and secure. It's just like the one I had many many years ago but not the same design. I'm super impressed with the delivery it arrived a week earlier. Thank you very much.

Pretty Little Tama
I just bought it to look at it and you're probably reading this review because you want to do the same. Very pretty little Tama. Can't comment on the game play because, as I said, I bought this pretty little Tama just to look at it. It's currently on display in my room. A+ would recommend you buy one to look at it too.Oh! I have read that if you do play it, don't feed it snacks until it's an adult or you greatly increase the chances of killing it and you may be arrested by the Tama police before you can even reset the device.

Birthday gift
The Tamagotchi I got for my 6-year-old niece has been a huge hit! It's fun, easy for her to use, and teaches responsibility in a playful way. Highly recommended for young kids who love interactive toys!
