Your Custom/Modded Tamagotchis

Blue Haired Beauty · May 28 2007, 03:08 AM #1 2007-05-28T03:08

I would like to add a new little section to my website.
Any custom/Modded Tamagotchis.
I have wanted to do this for a while but have been kind of busy and somewhat lazy about getting it going.

So if any of you out there would like to contribute to Tamenagerie.com's Modded Tamagotchi section, please post a nice picture in this topic.

I'll start with one I have. I have started my own mods but have not completed them.

Glow in the dark screen and decals on ChocoSilver Entama.

Another amazing mod I received as a gift ☺ This used to be the Pink Frill Entama. Talk about a major improvement.

This picture of a modded Akai was taken off YahooJP auctions months ago.
You get the idea. If you've played around and done fun stuff to your tamas, I'd love to see it.

Yay! Is this for all kinds of customization/modification, or mostly just stuff done with the shell? I've made new keychain-things with beads and/or cord for nearly all of mine. ^^;

The glow in the dark screen backing is great. Where do you get the stuff to do that? I don't think I've seen sheets of glow in the dark stuff anywhere.

I'm not a big fan of the covering-stuff-in-plastic-rhinestones trend, but that Pokéball Akai looks pretty darn impressive.

This is my one heavily-customized V4 so far:

It's made to stand up, even though it's not standing there. I wish I'd changed the buttons, but I didn't have a good color to switch them with, and now the shell is stuck shut with paint/glue so there's no opening it all the way back up.
It's actually very purple, not blue, but I can't get it to show up right in photos.

My mods seem pretty tame by comparison, but here's my V3 (originally the blue circles design).
I removed the paint, changed the buttons, and added stickers and beads.

Here is my customization/modification of my Tamagotchi V4 Pink Hearts!

My camera isn't working so I had to scan, I put a cloth in the back.

Your custom Pokéball Akai looks wonderful! I like shiny ^_^

Each of your tamagotchis looks great, I love unique! It stands out much more than plain.

PS: Sorry the picture was blurry.

Thank you gyara, Tamalova123 and again Cyann for posting those pix for me. I found your email the other day and thought D'oh! I need to get this going again!

Mighty impressive mod there gyara. Talk about imagination and it just works so well!
Then the simple elegance of Cyann's.

I can't tell what was done to Tamalova123's.
Added accessories? Please forgive me. I am not familiar with what that one looked like out of the pacakge.

Thanks for the pix people. It is much appreciated and I gladly await for more pix. :hito:

The glow in the dark background, I am not sure where exactly that stuff came from. Obviously it's just a paper or plastic type glow in the dark thing but I don't understand myself what exactly it is. Then to have patterns on the screen as well.
I have not taken it apart to get a good look.
Those were modded and gifted to me so it's kind of a mystery to me too.

Thank you. ^^; I intend to try customizing more in the future, but for now, I don't want to do anything to the Tamas I already have (and am not quite ready to fight with the model spraypaints again). I should look for some cheap secondhand ones on eBay though, I think.

Ohh, you aren't the one who obtained the glow in the dark stuff in the first place. Hm. I'll have to look for something like that...I'd really love to do the same for a background in one of mine (as long as nobody would be offended by my copying that idea ^^; ).
I need to find something more reflective, at least, if I ever replace another screen backing. That one is so dark.

I saw a really neat Tamagotchi mod on DeviantArt a while back, actually. You know those collars and bracelets with big metal spikes on them? Hot Topic type stuff. Someone had taken the spikes off one, and glued them on a Tamagotchi. Possibly a bit impractical (and dangerous, heh), but it looked darn cool.

Still wondering, does making my own keychains count if I haven't done anything to the rest of the Tamagotchi?

I made this:

It's not a real tamagotchi, I just massively edited a glow in the dark v4 with Macromedia
Fireworks.

Gyara, I've been thinking about taking my black G2 apart (again) and trying to do a pirate-themed Tama. I think I've got some white buttons from a Tama angel, and it'd be pretty easy to add a skull and crossbones someplace. Maybe the skull above and bones intersecting with the buttons somehow. Then maybe the inner "crack" could be red. Or white. Dunno.

Wow!
. Hidatchi ., They should make that a real tamagotchi!
If you could, you should send it to Bandai.

Ooh! Good idea. You should, that'd look cool.

Sorry BHB for veering slightly off topic, but I've just discovered the perfect way to get paint off a tamagotchi to a perfectly smooth clean finish in minutes!

I was just changing my electric toothbrush's head as it needed a new one, when I had a flash of inspiration

I put back the old head, gave it a dab of tooth polish, and took to one of my tama's with it. Within about 3 minutes of using the electric toothbrush, the tama was completely clear of any paint and still had a lovely smooth shell

Now I have to decide how I'm going to modify it! (and keep the old toothbrush head in a safe place for future use as a tamagotchi paint stripper!)

cyann · May 30 2007, 02:10 PM #12 2007-05-30T14:10

Excellent find, Spudi! Was it a sonic toothbrush?

And grr, I can't find my white buttons. I *know* I saved them along with some other spare Tama parts, but it's been a number of years so I wonder if somebody thought they were trash and got rid of them.

cami123200 · May 30 2007, 07:46 PM #13 2007-05-30T19:46

Hi,

I was wondering, where do you get other tamagotchi buttons???

cyann · May 30 2007, 08:37 PM #14 2007-05-30T20:37

From other Tamagotchis.

cami123200 · May 30 2007, 09:04 PM #15 2007-05-30T21:04

oh, okay. I'm currently trying to do the screen on my tama. The stupid screws in the chip won't come out!!! any tricks?
