Zachi/Vader Appreciation Post

A lot of Tamagotchi books were released in early/mid-1997 before the release of the International P2 that features exclusive mystery creature Zachi/Vader-chan. While Japan saw a lot of reverse-import International P1s that saw Sam/Bill integrated into most Tamagotchi visual media post-May 1997, the International P2 was much more niche. As a result, there's nearly no art of Zachi/Vader, and no profiles in Japanese guidebooks and comics! He also wasn't included in any of the videogames. Per request, I was able to dig through my library and find some weird little dudes hanging around.

Bask in the alien glory of the most mysterious hidden character!

Proto-Vader-chan from August 1997's "Tamagotchi Research Report" (Tokuma Shoten's Roman Album line) as the International P2 wasn't released overseas until a month or so later. The tokusatsu alien/robot vibes are strong here.

Here are two Vaders from the harder-to-find second volume of Tamagotchi Research Report. The first is a sticker, while the second is from a gathering on the beach.

Tokuma Shoten went to town in their kids activity book "Doko² Tamagotchi". Look at him go! He spends a lot of time either introducing himself (ベーダーでーす "Iiii'm Vader") , hanging with Sam/Bill, or just living it up!!

Finally, obligatory English profile from the English "The Official Tamagotchi Care Guide and Record Book" by Doris Betz

And...that's it.

Justice for Zachi, he needs more media!!

Tamarindotchi

I've heard of these things since I was a baby, but they never interested me, so there's no "I got inspired by" or "I loved this as a kid" today lol

The thing is that I drew this back in 2021 because I saw the Tamagotchi Video Advetures on YouTube, and I liked the crayon-like style they had there, and the simple design of these characters was pretty cool to me. I don't know much about this franchise, but I'm aware that Mametchi is like the main one in the series, and, at least in this american version it was just another character (and apparently it was a girl), the common early weirdness of franchises lel

Anyway, this version was pretty nice to me, and hard to not draw the characters hehe

My cybies collection grows slowly. Masktchi is my white whale but sadly there's like no listings.

Sadly they can't stay there because they're blocking access to my drawers... hopefully i'll move to a place with a bigger room and enough shelf space for all my junk one day. For now though, everyone but Zatchi is getting tucked away.

Question for Zatchi ! Have you heard about the tama carddass ? do you collect them ?

Zatchi: *looking it up* OOooh! I have not heard of these! How wonderful!!

Zatchi: They are a little out of the range of what I usually collect truthfully, but these seem quite nice!

I'm not quite the type to collect trading cards, I'm more of a telephone card collector!

Old unfunny tamagotchi stuff I drew on paper the sequel.

I love Zatchi in all their designs. I Did this in early 2023. And I forgot to post it here. (the tags killed me)

Okay does anyone know how to get Zatchi on the Tamagotchi original p2 remakes??? He's the one character that I reeeeeally wanted for maximum nostalgia but I can't figure out how to get him for the life of me 😔

[v4point5]

I've been pausing these two a lot lately and didn't wanna keep running them if I wasn't enjoying it as much as I could so I took the batteries out. carnation was animated on screen for a few seconds before he slowly disappeared 😭

the Keitai made a small beep when it shut off which I've never heard before so ofc, me being the worrywart that I am, I got worried I accidentally scratched the motherboard when I popped the battery out. that happens whenever I take the batteries out tho, especially after my almost-disaster w my music star lmao.

until next time, carnation and p2!

MY TAMAGOTCHI EVOLVED INTO ZATCHI!!! (his name is cheddar btw everyone say hi)

[digi-tama-in-your-pocket]

IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!!

I was about to give up hope because it felt like Zuccitchi's hearts were draining faster, and I stupidly went downstairs without my Tama several times, just begging for a discipline mistake, but I hear the evolution sound and perk up to see my alien boy, I finally reunited with him after about 20 years give or take.

I told this story a dozen times. But I had a gen 2 Tamagotchi as a kid, white and green with red buttons it was. I took it up to a month long getaway at my Great Grandma's house for Christmas and New Years, which was far from home, the Tama was one of my only forms of entertainment besides a few toys, a tiny TV we didn't get to watch often, and a walkman.

I got Zuccitchi and almost cried, I never saw it before, I thought it was an ugly disgusting house fly or something, I had never seen it before and thought I did something bad to get an ugly adult, which the box kinda nails into your head. ( For the record, I love Zuccitchi now. I didn't have artwork to go off of back then ), but despite my feelings, I still took the best care I could of him, and through sheer dumb luck, I got the secret character, without even knowing a secret character exists. And this was just the coolest thing back then, finding a secret and not knowing what else could be hidden ( granted, with Tamagotchi originals, the secret character is the only secret but I didn't know that back then. )

I don't know how much battery life is left in this Tama, but i'm just happy I finally got Zatchi again, two biggest Tamagotchi Original goals, Get Mametchi, and get Zatchi, are met. I am very pleased.

One of my coworkers fell in love with my Frankentama and begged me for one of their own. This is the first time I've tried multicolor buttons...and I believe it worked!

They didn't believe I could make it sparkle from the inside. Well, surprise! Revenge of the clear hologram film.

Here's this one's pedigree:

-International P2 chip and screen (English language, Zatchi raisable, localized medicine icon)

-Original Tamagotchi Gen 2 wallpaper flipped upside down with a clear hologram sheet placed over it

-Japanese P2 green front shell

-Red buttons from a modern Tamagotchi Original, yellow and blue buttons from the clear blue (my custom) and green shells

-Solid purple screen holder (leftover part from my custom)

-Japanese New P2 clear yellow back shell (the other half of my custom)

-Keyring from International P2

-Stickers I bought literally a dozen years ago

I actually don't know if it works or not because I ran out of loose LR-44 batteries. Here's hoping it's not a total dud and that my coworker likes the result!
