About a month ago, the official Digimon site put up a poll for people to vote for their favorite Digimon LCD toy (Digivice, V-Pet, CSA prop, etc.) They put up the various items released in Japan and asked everyone to vote once. The poll closed a bit ago and we have the results!



The top result being the original Digimon V-Pet isn't shocking, but we have the full results to look at...

That's what I expected tbh, nice this one doesn't seem to have been rigged by a certain fan base unless those X ones being so high are from that.

Didn't hear of any campaign for this one. Anyway, brief thoughts:
  • The Digital Monster and the Pendulum rated higher than their remakes, which still got a significant share of the votes. Not surprising.
  • The most recent V-Pet, the Digital Monster X, rated third; thus mirroring Kizuna, the most recent movie that was a significant nostalgia trip with new forms for old digimon and also got third place.
  • The D-Ark rated higher than the digivice, but the D-Ark anniversary rated lower than the Digivice anniversary. If you add up both of them, they get almost the same percentage.
  • Seems like every V-Pet has its own fanbase... except the Twin, the Mini and the Xros Mini.
  • The Xros Loader, unlike its V-Pet counterpart, is as popular as the rest of the toys.
  • The lowest non-anniversary digivice was the iC, which was also coincidentally the one that played the most like a V-Pet.
  • CSA didn't attract many votes, except for the most nostalgic of them, the 1999 version. Fitting.
  • In general, doesn't seem like much can be said on whether the fanbase prefers the V-Pets or the digivices.

I'm actually surprised the original v-pets took first place. It never struck me as being THAT popular compared to stuff like the Pendulum, but the margins between places in this poll are pretty small so it makes sense. The D-Ark though... I'm pretty suspicious of that. I am pleased that the Digital Monster X was high up too, by and large people seemed to have a ton of fun with those!

I voted for the Ver. 20th myself since all I have experience with are those and a Xros Wars Mini, and its pretty obvious what will win out between those 2. 😝

I was hoping Xros Loader to get higher position in this poll so that we'd get a brand new full colored V-Pets in the near future.

Tamers is probably the most popular thing in the franchise excluding Adventure. Nothing suspicious about it rating high.

Tamers ranking highly isn't suspicious.

Tamers tends to rank reasonably high in things because Tamers fans come out for polls or to otherwise talk up Tamers. It's the purchasing follow through where it often, but not always, slips on.


The CSAs ranking low aren't that shocking because they have no toy, game, or play aspect. The only thing confusing about the CSAs is why they were included in the poll at all.

I agree with most but in my opinion I like the d ark the most and the pen20 is my 2nd favourite. The 1st gen isn't even in my top 3. But decent results either way.

Was so busy with university that I didn't vote at all, but it makes me happy that the ones where they put the most effort came out on top

Maybe I should rephrase that. I am surprised to see the D-Ark rank so highly, since I never heard anyone talk about any outstanding features it had or mention it as a favorite among Digivices before. Maybe I just haven't talked to the right people. Because I had no exposure to anyone who said they really liked it, I didn't expect it to be so high, and it still strikes me as kind of odd.

Final Attack Ride: D-D-D-Ark!

Sorry, I just had to throw that reference in there after seeing "re-re-release of the D-ark". Plus Digimon and Kamen Rider are both associated with Toei anyways. But yeah, exciting stuffs! :3

And I understand you reference there LOL. I almost forgot that KR and Digimon are actually on onec company haha. But maybe Bandai will focus more on re-releasing the vpet as we see that there is another preorder for 20th original color. I just hope that after this we can get the sought after D-ark (even though my intuition says that after the 20th we will get pendulum 20th, because of pendulum Z)
