Just sharing the regular dose of Digimon News from China (Cuz Bandai China and Toei China are on another level when it comes to Adventure + Reboot appreciation 🤭)
ChinaJoy 2024 (A Game/Toys related convention in China) opened in Shanghai today, Bandai had their corner there and a whole designated section for Digimon. Photos of the Digimon section layout was shared on their Weibo some time prior to the convention opening.
Today the Digimon Web account on Twitter also posted an update, showcasing the giant Agumon on display!
And another one from Bandai's weibo
Now the products!
They had on display the Digimon Adventure: Yamato and MetalGarurumon figure open for pre-orders, scheduled to release in 2025.
Close up photos from BN Figures' account
For any Yamato fan, this is like chef's kiss fr.
Next, the Kayo Horaguchi art of Digimon Circus, where the Adventure partners are dressed as a Circus troupe is now being turned into mini-figures.
Onto my personal favourite announcement, the 25th Anniversary memorial art is also being turned into figures!
Please check out op's post on Weibo for more stuff on display at the booth.
Not too many photos shared by official accounts yet, but most likely they will post more as the event goes on.
Some links from Weibo if you want to see more of the event: 1 2 3
HAPPY (almost) ODAIBA DAY!!!
*coughs a few times*
A piece I've been working on and off on for a bit. But decided to see if I could get it colored in time.
Now I scurry away for a yearly rewatch of the OG English Digimon Movie
Since I, apparently, haven't had enough ideas for a Digimon Adventure reboot sequel yet (and am struggling to get my things for Taikouvember going), have idea number 4:
What if it wasn't exactly reincarnation theory that applied... What if the original timeline had already taken place, but hadn't provided the results Homeostasis had hoped for, leading to the events of The Beginning... What if Homeostasis actually rebooted the timeline, but needed a capable fighter to guide, to lead everyone through once more... What if the reason why 2020!Taichi had seemed so confident and positive, never doubting his duty, always on the right place at the right time was that... This time, he was the vessel Homeostasis chose instead of his sister - who had successfully managed to push its presence out of herself in the previous timeline...?
What if he had been a puppet, doll, marionette all along? What if, once his Crest got activated, Homeostasis had sneaked into his body to give him the quest to befriend the others in this timeline all over again, granting him access to memories of his previous life to succeed. What if that was why Omegamon - and every other evolution level - could have been achieved so easily?
At first it was a fun quest - being the literal "Chosen One". The perfect soldier, strategist, leader. Perfect in every way. A sense of nostalgia to meet his beloved companions all over again, even if they all seemed a little bit different, a little to the left, albeit not any less lovable to him... But there had also been sad memories, memories of failure and loss. Things he wouldn't want to experience again - but also things that a part of him longed and yearned for. A discrepancy that keeps growing in his heart the older he gets, the more memories he acquires. He loves his redheads and will love them in every timeline... But there's also something he desperately misses, something he couldn't get right before. So maybe... He can do it this time...?
(I know there is quite a tendency to write Suffering!Taichi AUs and as long as canon doesn't give me a happy end for him, I will probably always jump right in on it, no matter what happens.)
