Japanese toy manufacturer Bandai is marking the 75th anniversary of Charles M. Schulz’s “Peanuts” comic strip with the release of an all-new Tamagotchi Nano featuring Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang.
Featured VideoThe Peanuts Tomagotchi will allow people to care for Charlie Brown’s dog, Snoopy, and other characters like Woodstock and Harriet. The toy includes three minigames, and players can expect appearances from Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Schroeder. It is protected in a red silicone case designed to look like Snoopy’s doghouse, and attached to a keychain so you can take your pet wherever you go.
The Peanuts Tamagotchi is priced at $31.99 and will hit stores in Japan on July 12, 2025.

Reddit user u/jhacirowoolah posted their receipt for the Peanuts Tamagotchi to the r/tamagotchi subreddit on May 9. The post read, “Finally did my pre-order with Amazon Japan, and I can’t wait!”

u/moni_poo said, “Oooooo, that’s exciting! Post updates on gameplay when you get it. 😍.”
“I love the design!” commented u/sleepykale.

u/wickedharvest asked if u/jhacirowoolah’s pre-order total included “shipping and Trump’s Tariffs?”
Advertisementu/iguen replied, “Trump’s 145% or 245% tariffs don’t apply to products shipped from Japan, even if they were made in China. Companies like Goodsmile USA are affected because they ship directly from their Chinese factories. However, Japanese third-party retailers avoid Trump’s ridiculous tariffs by routing products through Japan first—shipping from China to Japan, then from Japan to the U.S. and other overseas market. Also, 8515 yen seems like third-party reseller price, because its official price in yen is 4400 though.”
