This is from the first wave of the Tamagotchi craze. It says BANDAI 1997 on the back. Is it the original model? I'm not sure which generation it is, so please take a look at the pictures to see if you can tell. I played with it a lot, so the pattern on the surface is worn and faded. It's also faded overall and has many scratches. The back is also dirty. The battery compartment screw has rust. When I put batteries in and turned it on, it worked normally. I've also included a picture of the inside of the battery compartment, and one of the screws and the terminals have rust. *Batteries are not included to prevent leakage, so please provide your own.* *By the way, it takes GPA76 batteries, but I looked it up online and found that LR44 batteries are compatible, so I used those to test it.* This is the item, but please only purchase it if you are okay with the condition. This is a long-term, home-stored item from a private seller, so please do not purchase it if you are looking for a pristine or perfect item, or if you are sensitive to imperfections or a clean freak. I will wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it anonymously. Everything in the pictures is what will be sent. *Please note that returns and exchanges are not accepted.* Instant purchase is OK. Thank you.
