Help Out

There are a number of ways you can help make Project TamaShell better! All contributors will be mentioned on the Thanks page that is linked down below.

Images

The most important part of this site is providing images of the various Tamagotchi shells. Whether it is an image that the site lacks entirely, or simply a higher-quality picture of one that is already up, every little bit helps! My preference is stock images (the pictures that online stores use to showcase a product). Click here for a sample stock image. If a stock image for a given unit is not available (and it may not be), then a photograph is also welcome. The preferred position for a Tamagotchi picture is a straight-on view with the screen centered and the chain off to the right. Whether or not the screen contains anything does not matter. This is only a preference, however, so don't hesitate to submit an image just because it's not in my preferred view!

Availability

You don't have to have pictures to really help out the site. I would like to list where every shell was made commercially available, but I simply do not know that information, aside from what I have personally seen in US stores. Something as simple as "I can confirm that the orange and purple V1 was sold in Germany," is very useful. Just remember, though, that eBay purchases may have come from anywhere, regardless of from where the seller shipped it!

Names

Bandai actually gave each unit a specific design name, but if I don't know that information, I simply label the Tamagotchis with "White w/ Yellow" or something to that effect, indicating the primary shell color and accents. If you know the given name for any design, that information is very valuable to me!

Accuracy/Corrections

Did I make a mistake? Tell me! Even something as minor as correcting a typo would improve the quality of the site. And definitely call me out if I have any V1/V2 units on the wrong pages.

Other Information

There are plenty of tidbits of information that would improve the site. For example, that the Glow-in-the-Dark V4 was the winning design of a contest, or that a specific model was exclusive to a particular store are great things to note.
