It looks like Bandai has rereleased Punitapichan last month. If you've been waiting to get one, now's your chance. It's pretty nifty with its see-through screen. toy.bandai.co.jp/series/punit...

There is indeed a firmware update. This one is from 2022 instead of 2020. I'm not sure what's changed. The main code probably got rearranged due to the linker, but the data pack seems to be the same as last time.

The inside is basically the same as before. Same slightly weird disassembly, same PCB (the only change appears to be the manufacturing date code), same GeneralPlus GPL95101UB. The 8MB flash is KH branded this time, but the original GeneralPlus brand is just a rebadge of the same chip.

The device itself looks the same as the original release, except for the battery door, which has a bit of a different design. Instead of a Tapioca illustration, it has uhhhh... FCC notice. Really weird. The SKU is also lasered in instead of molded.

Inside are the device and the manual.

The box looks mostly the same as the original, except the right side got replaced with warnings, in both Japanese and English (weird).

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.
