BTW, I've mentioned that I have the second and third wave Tamagotchi Paradise to tear down. I still need to do that. I was holding off until a tripod accessory I ordered arrived, and that took a month, but when it arrived it worked poorly and I got frustrated and gave up.

Bit different than usual, I got some mini DisplayPort dummy plugs from Amazon for review. I thought I'd try to take one of them apart to see what's inside (usually an EEPROM). www.amazon.ca/dp/B0GX5PD3Y8

Got my Digimon Color Digimon Xros Wars 15th Edition. Looks the same as any other DMC but with a UV print. I don't care much for Xros Wars and only got this for the firmware, so I only have this one color. The tape seems wider than usual, dunno what's up with that.

I finally managed to get my hands on a Pokemon Friends Pokeball. Box is smaller than expected, and appears to have been retaped (probably at the factory).

Finally got some stuff from Japan shipped. For the longest time Japan Post wasn't shipping to Canada. Anyway, it's another Punitapichan, specifically this year's rerelease. I mainly wanted to see if it's got new firmware.

Today's item: LeapFrog LeapMove. I saw this last week at Walmart, and this week after visiting the Lab Tama, I decided I might as well pick it up.

I finally bought something non-Tamagotchi. It's a Bitzee Hamster Ball.

A quick look at the Digimon Color Monster Hunter 25th Edition. Not going to do a deep dive on this since I already did last month (though I don't think I posted a thread about all of it? Most of the details are on Humulos' site).

Here's another thing from my previous Taobao shipment. It's an iFIT ACT. I think this might be the "newer" version, where the band is one-size-fits-all (actually, adjustable rather than fixed-diameter), and there isn't a gigantic well for the device.

Today I have for you the Healing Room Bag from Healin' Good PreCure. I've gotten the LCD toy from each of the past few seasons, but typically don't talk about the contents much. This, however, is from five years ago, and I think long enough for people to not be mad about spoilers.

Let's take a look at a random ancient product I got in a recent Taobao batch. It's some sort of "self cloud" device, intended to share content and internet access wirelessly.

Amazon's doing Black Friday sales, and since this is currently at its lowest price, I got a Leapfrog Leapster Ultra.

Let's look at a random thing that I got in my latest Taobao shipment. This is a Schneider Electric WiserExtend WiFi repeater. As far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with the Wiser smart home system, and was only sold in China.
Front of the box of a WiserExtend WiFi repeater, showing a photo of the product in front of a living room scene, and a description of the product in Chinese below on a green background, translated as follows:

WiserExtend series WiFi wireless router repeater

A while back I got my Pendulum Color v4, v5, and Zero, but because someone gave me the flash dumps, I didn't bother taking mine apart until now. Better late than never. Here's the boxes again. First, v3 Wind Guardians

Welcome to my teardowns account. This is where I'll be showing the electronics that I buy and tear down. Expect technical analysis on firmware and such. 🎨: @kiminukii.bsky.social
