Bandai Reveals New Godzilla x Digimon Pendulum COLOR Devices

Bandai has announced an exciting new collaboration between the iconic Godzilla franchise and the Digimon series.

Orders have now opened for the new “Digimon Pendulum COLOR Godzilla Edition,” which introduces a fresh wave of crossover virtual pet devices.

Digimon originated in 1997 as a line of digital virtual pets designed and quickly evolved into a massive multimedia franchise encompassing anime, trading cards, and video games.

The series focuses on human partners raising digital lifeforms that battle and evolve into more powerful stages over time.

Godzilla, the undisputed King of the Monsters, first stomped onto Japanese cinema screens in 1954 as a walking metaphor for nuclear devastation.

Over seven decades, the legendary kaiju has starred in dozens of films, battling other massive titans and destroying countless miniature cityscapes.

This second major crossover between the two historic properties is based on a terrifying scenario where Godzilla’s genetic material has infected the digital landscape.

The lore explains that powerful “G-Cells” have eroded the Digicores of classic monsters, triggering bizarre new evolutionary paths.

Fans can raise a total of 57 different characters, including familiar digital companions and famous cinematic beasts.

The roster features brand new corrupted variants such as Greymon: “G” Erosion Mode, MetalGarurumon: “G” Erosion Mode, and BlackWarGreymon: “G” Erosion Mode.

Players can even utilize the signature Jogress function to combine specific corrupted partners to create the ultimate Omegamon: “G” Fusion Mode.

The devices feature full-color LCD screens, USB Type-C charging capabilities, and built-in accelerometers to calculate training results based on how many times the unit is physically shaken.

Special crossover gameplay elements include a “G-Cell Activation Value” that determines evolution routes, alongside appearances by classic movie monsters like Anguirus during training sequences.

For the first time in the series, the outer shells utilize advanced UV printing technology to showcase exclusive artwork by acclaimed Digimon character designer Kenji Watanabe.

Two different designs will be available to collect:

Digimon Pendulum COLOR Godzilla Edition (SIDE Godzilla Color)
- Price: 7,920 yen (approx. £41 GBP / $52 USD).

Digimon Pendulum COLOR Godzilla Edition (SIDE Digimon Color)
