BLACKPINK tease official Tamagotchi collaboration

BLACKPINK are officially teaming up with Tamagotchi for a new collaboration — and BLINKs are getting a first look sooner than expected.

Following an earlier teaser from YG Select, it has now been confirmed that the collaboration will launch with a pre-release collectible titled the BLACKPINK Original Tamagotchi. The device is described as a pre-launch product that forms part of an expanded lineup for the official BLACKPINK X Tamagotchi collaboration, which is scheduled for a wider release in 2026.

According to the announcement, the BLACKPINK Original Tamagotchi has been planned as a collectible device that emphasises rarity and collection value, positioning it as a special item for fans ahead of the full collaboration rollout next year.

The pre-launch release will be available exclusively via KakaoTalk Gift on 23 December, with sales opening at 14:00 KST. At the time of writing, no further details have been shared regarding pricing, design variations, or availability outside the KakaoTalk platform.

For now, BLINKs can expect a limited and highly collectible first chapter of the BLACKPINK X Tamagotchi partnership — with more to be revealed as the full collaboration approaches.
