Tamagotchi Nanoblock Sets Let Us Build Fake Virtual Pets

Kawada announced it is working with Bandai Namco to release two Tamagotchi Nanoblock sets based on the original virtual pet. Each one is set to arrive on July 12, 2025 in Japan. They will cost 1,760円 (~$12) each. While US listings aren’t live yet, Amazon already has one placeholder for the white variant.

Each Tamagotchi set ends up building both one replica of the virtual pet as well as an additional item. Each one is based on the first generation model, with one being white with black buttons and the other blue with a clock design and yellow buttons and accents. They are just about two inches tall (58mm) and come with a ball-chain keychain like the toys did. The white kit includes enough pieces to build a baby black Tamagotchi character, and the blue one comes with an egg. Each one features stickers to place over the LCD screen “face” with different designs. Both are only two-star difficulty kits with 200 to 220 pieces.

Here’s how each one will look:

While this is a replica of the Tamagotchi virtual pet, a new model is on the way in July 2025. Tamagotchi Paradise will involve different types of ecosystems. It also features a crank that lets us zoom in and zoom out on characters.

The Tamagotchi Nanoblock sets will arrive in Japan on July 12, 2025, and it looks like we’ll also see them appear worldwide sometime around that launch.
