For a while I've been considering starting some props for the Digimon show, specifically the props for the digidestined from the first 2 seasons.

but I've run into a bit of a snag, I don't have one of the toys to help me base my prop off of.

I'm looking for anyone who still has one of these toys that they are willing to part with. (PM me to negotiate) I don't necessarily need one of the electronic versions, one of the small hollow ones that came with the 2 in figurines will do just fine as well.

i'm looking for one of these, I know they came in many colors, and that is not important to me, nor is working condition.


A bit of a new twist on asking for help for a costume, but I hope there is someone who can pull through as always!

If I were willing to part with one of the many that I have, I would help ya Luke. Unless you plan on just using it as a reference and not exactly tinkering with it. You could find cheap ones on ebay though. At least, for Zero Two. Adventure's digivices are pretty expensive. I have a pink clip on digivice from Adventure that came with a Gatomon toy, but I'm too attached to it and I use it for my Kari cosplay.

Also, the second link doesn't work.

Oh my god I used to have a pink one! It broke and I'm sure it was thrown out =(

Have you checked ebay? I find tons of old toys for great prices on there.

[fntmalchemist]

yes, I've checked ebay. and no, they are not cheap.

these toys are old enough to be considered collectible by now I think.

The going price on used, but working condition of these toys is around $60.00, because everyone seems to think that they can tag *RARE* onto the end of every little known child's toy.


my purpose?

I plan on covering the screw holes with clay, as well as the edge of the buttons so that the insides remain safe. Then I'm taking a silicon mold of it. the clay can be removed afterwords, and the toy should not be damage at all. worst case scenario: a little clay is stuck inside the device around the buttons, and doesn't really affect anything.

so Lina, If you were willing to lend it for a week or two to allow me to subject it to my mad science, I'd appreciate it. let me know.

A lot are not cheap, I've been looking for a long time for some more, but you can find some for pretty cheap if you get lucky. They are very pricey though. ><

I can lend you one as long as it doesn't get destroyed, but I trust ya because you are my friend!

Ok, well, I've got the D3 version all set, but I'll still need to find an electronic version D2.

I've been shown the hollow versions that came with the action figures, and sadly they are not able to be used for my purpose.

does anyone still have an electronic D2 that they would be willing to lend to me for a few days, or at worst, sell to me? it can be any color, dead battery, scratched, flooded screen, or even missing a button.

thanks for all the help Lina, sorry that the gatomon/kari device won't work.

still looking for something along these lines:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand facebook stalking has paid off. Looks like one of my friends found one in storage.

Thanks for everyone's help, but I think I got this.

preliminary work on Tag/ Crest Repros is now in session.

if anyone's seeking, lemme know.

Glad you found one!

You know I want a crest and tag, Luke! Kari's please!
