Darth Vader was one of the first fictional characters that I really loved even though he was technically a villain. There was something about this tragic character that appealed to me and to millions of fans around the world given his popularity. The much maligned prequels, for all its faults, gave us even more insight into Anakin Skywalker and his transformation to the dark side. The Clone Wars series though cemented Anakin as one of my favorites. Sometimes, I wonder about an alternate timeline where he wouldnt have become one of the most dangerous villains in the Star Wars universe. Designer: BandaiWell never get the answer to that of course but at least with this newest toy, you get to raise Anakin. Of course hell still eventually become Darth Vader but at least you get different versions of him. Bandais newest Star Wars Tamagotchi lets you raise a digital pet version of Anakin Skywalker. Just like with other Tamagotchis, you need to feed and take care of him, but with a Star Wars twist. You have lightsaber drills and duels as part of your training and you can also take him to meet other popular characters from the universe. Aside from the usual Tamagotchi things, this one has several mini games like a letter hunt, lightsaber training, the famous/infamous trench run, and even a lightsaber duel with Obi Wan Kenobi and Like. There are also low-res sprite renditions of 12 iconic scenes from the Star Wars universe so there are a lot of things to do in this tiny body. Too bad theres no way that you can actually change the fate of Anakin but at least you will get 10 different Darth Vader outcomes, depending on how well you take care of little Anakin or how much you neglect him, as we all eventually do with our Tamagochis. When you get the Star Wars Darth Vader Tamagotchi, you also get a protective silicone case that is, as expected, shaped like the iconic helmet of this fan favorite villain. So you get a tiny Vader inside an egg-shaped Vader. Imagine how cute that would look like attached to your bag or keychain. Its available for pre-order on Amazon and will be released this March. Bandai previously released R2-D2 and Grogu Tamagotchis so its about time we got another iconic character.
