This is an incredibly rare, vintage Bandai Tamagotchi Connection Version 3 (V3) virtual pet in the highly sought-after White & Black Zebra pattern shell with bright orange accents. This piece is 100% brand new, factory sealed, and has never been opened.Released in the mid-2000s, the V3 version famously introduced infrared connectivity alongside access to the classic TamaTown.com online universe. This specific unit is a phenomenal find for collectors looking to add a pristine, untouched specimen to their virtual pet display. The Tamagotchi has been shelved since 2006 in a climate controlled environment in its original and unopened packaging. Due to its age the 1CR 2032(3V) battery that came with this toy will need to be replaced.
