I found this new toy on the Japanese Bandai website. I don't know exactly what it is but it seems like this is a sort of Furby (another Bandai toy) but with a ChaMametchi theme. As you might recall, ChaMametchi is Mametchi's younger sister who first appeared in the Tamagotchi movie last year and then she also appeared on the Tamagotchi V5. From the pictures on the website it seems like other characters will make an appearence (like Mametchi and Kutchipatchi). The small bag is a way of interacting with ChaMametchi and pressing the buttons will make her speak. However she only speaks in Japanese for now, so unless they come up with an English version or unless you understand Japanese, there's not much sense in buying one.
This toy also seems to be a modified, more sophisticated version of Arukotch where she walks around and interacts with other tamagotchi, plays games and collects items. As I said before, the highlight of the toy is the talking feature where you will be able to interact on some level with ChaMametchi herself...seems like a good idea. If anyone has more information about this toy I would really appreciate it if you shared it with us by leaving a comment on this post. Thanks :)

1, as part of steps to expand its overseas sales network. The Japanese maker of games and toys, known for its Power Rangers action figures and "Tamagotchi" virtual pet, said it will set up Bandai Polska sp.zo.o to tap into eastern Europe's toy market.
