for Chapter 2: The World of Digital Monsters, what I find most interesting is the inclusion of HiAndromon in the Crack Team but also the exclusion of Apollomon Whispered from the Big Death Stars (a shame as I like Whispered and would like to see it exist beyond Xros Wars).
Armamon and Omega Armamon Burst Mode are also missing from the Legend Arms.

I find it interesting that Monzaemon in the Chapter 4: 25th Anniversary Memorial Corner art is holding my favorite Digital Monster color which is exclusive to the 20th release. Transparent blue with the orange gate is just awesome.

I really want one of the Dramatic Acrylic Dimension pop up pieces. They all look awesome! I do wish Mamemon got one but I can't really think of a cool particle effect for it other than generic punches and explosions anyways and I like all of the version 1 digimon a ton anyways

Death Generals and Big Death-Stars are two different groups. Apollomon Whispered is a Death General, not a Big Death-Star.

Of course Death Generals in Xros Wars is the in-universe version of Big Death-Stars but so far we don't have the confirmation of the two groups being the same. Or maybe because Apollomon was there, DarkKnightmon formed a new group with a new name for the Big Death-Stars + Apollomon. (This is a theory)

Totally loved that MetalGreymon Virus stepping out of that V-Pet digivice's screen artwork!

 

[e105zeta]

Huh, looks almost like they left a slot for Dominimon before redacting him.

 

[Geode]

Yes, finally a new live action short and it has Espimon, I hope it’s a little longer than the last one.

 

[Noni]

A lot of the anniversary art is great. The Metal Greymon one is so good. The acrylic stands are very charming, as well.

I am interested in that digimon groups/organization relationship charts, and hoping we get to see a complete and higher-resolution version uploaded or photographed and posted soon. Also interested in the V-Jump's Digimon 2022 Guide Book. Hope someone scans it.

I'm assuming the new v-pet product to be unveiled here is the Digital Monsters 25th Anniversary Vital Bracelet.

The next week will be a good one for Digimon fans.

Interesting, in the Digimon Profile were it talks about the Crack Team, HiAndromon was never listed as a Digimon part of that group... It makes me think that when the Crack Team upgraded an Andromon into HiAndromon resulting it to become self-aware, it might've disbanded from the group as it realized what their intentions are.

 

[Tarama]

Huh, looks almost like they left a slot for Dominimon before redacting him.

Yeah. We need to get his profile.

I love the shirt designs! Also the Agumon illustrated card is so beautiful!!
