Our first more detailed images of the Appmon toyline that I can think of.
We get to see two different products...

First up is a preview of the Gatchmon figure.
Nice little figure I think. Somehow I didn't expect it to look so nice close up, the magnifying glass has some nice details to it.
I may import that one...
Next up is a preview of the Appmon Chip for Navimon.

The chip looks pretty nice (no free QR code in the preview for us.)
We also get a great clean image of Navimon's art.

I'm getting a real Kamen Rider type of vibe from him. He looks much more interesting and dynamic here than in some of the other art we've seen of him, don't you think? I mean, we've seen him full body before, but it comes across differently here than I had seen before (I think the background and skimming video footage made me miss the details, which now that I'm looking at them on a white background, just really stand out to me.)
They finish off with another image of Gatchmon's toy

This appears to be the same figure, but it appears there will be some sort of way to swap the eyes, which gives him a neat fun look.
The Appmon Twitter account put these up and promises (if they can) to put up new preview images every week.
Update- Here is week 2.

We start off with another fun image of a Gatchmon figure.

The Appmon Chip this time is Cameramon.

And a great image of Cameramon's art. He looks sort of menacing like this I think.
And we finish with another image of Gatchmon.

Poor guy seems tired.
Hopefully they continue along next week.
Update- Time for week 3!

Looks like Gatchmon is visiting Shueisha. Perhaps he is getting a sneak preview of the Appmon tie in manga?

The Appmon Chip this time is Perorimon.
Update- Here is the rest of week 3.

Perorimon gets some nice big art. And he has a nice little hat.
And we finish off with Dokamon giving Gatchmon the ol' stink eye.

Update- Time for week 4.

Gatchmon is at the Jump Victory Carnival event while they are setting it up.

The Appmon Chip this week is Hackmon.

We've seen this picture a few times before, but to get it so large and clean is fantastic. The various details are really nice.

And the previews for week 4 ends with a Hackmon figure showing off part of not quite set up Appmon display for Jump Victory Carnival.
Update- They put up an extra image of Gatchmon to celebrate the Jump Victory Carnival opening.

Update- Time for week 5.

Another shot of Gatchmon at the Jump Victory Carnival.

The Appmon Chip this week is for Messamon (People seem to disagree how his name should be spelled, so for now I'm going with Messa.)

One of the weirder designed Appmons. I'm quite curious to see how he acts in the show.

For the last week 5 image Gatchmon is at a familiar location for most Japanese anime fans.
Update- Time for week 7 (they didn't do a week 6.)

First up is Gatchmon hanging around Bandai's Headquarters.

This week's Appmon Chip is Dokamon!
Update- The rest of week 7 and all of week 8...
First up, the rest of week 7 (got delayed because I got caught up in other news and just forgot to update it when I woke up the next morning...)

I really like this action pose for Dokamon. It's actiony, but also seems fun.

Gatchamon and Dokamon end the week just sitting around.
On to week 8!

After visiting Bandai last week Gatchmon is at Toei Digital Center this week! This is a new building Toei setup in 2010 to modernize their post production. He's hanging out outside of the office where ADR is done for Appmon!

This week's Appmon Chip is Musimon!

Good profile art for Musimon. It feels like he's the Appmon who opinion has changed the most from the initial images. In the initial shot we saw of him he just looked like a head with arms. Seeing him with full gear makes him look much better.

Appmon saying goodbye for the week and reminding everyone the show begins in nearly a month!
Time for week 9!

First up we have Gatchmon posing with the upcoming Applidriver product!

This week's Appmon Chip is Roleplaymon!
Update- The rest of week 9 has shown up!

Roleplaymon's art works well. He feels like a proper chibi RPG hero. Minus the mouth and maybe the eyes....

To finish off the week we have Gatchmon posing with an in package Applidriver. The package looks nicer than I expected for some reason... which is odd because I'm not sure what I expected...
Update- They put up week 10 a bit late, but we have it now...

Gatchmon is joined by Dokamon at a commercial shoot in the first image this week.

This week's Appmon Chip is Dougamon!

Dougamon's design is interesting. Once you get past the massive screen there are some interesting design elements. He's clearly named after Niconico Douga, but he also has what appears to be a tv antannae on top. Elements of his body (but especially his arm) appear to be based on a television remote? (I may just be seeing something that isn't there, but it looks like it to me.)

To finish the week we have Gatchmon next to his packaging. The art on the box is interesting to me. I don't think we've seen Gatchmon with such a soft expression before. The other interesting bit, the artwork is clearly based on the toy of Gatchmon, rather than just being anime artwork. It's a nice little touch
Update- Week 11 time!
It appears with them showing Gatchmon's packaging last week they may be done with the normal updates, but they've updated this week with a few eclectic choices all based on things shown at the Tokyo Game Show.

We start off with the finalized coverart for the Appmon 3DS game. This was shown during the TGS stream.

An exclusive Gatchmon Appmon Chip and some exclusive cards.

A special Appmon Chip of Onmon. This will be given if you pre-order the full version of the Appmon 3DS game in a specific time period.
I really like Onmon's art and the look of the chip really looks special.
