November 28th, 2015. At today's Mega Hobby 2015 Autumn Expo, anime figure production studio MegaHouse unveiled a new official Digimon figure, featuring Digimon Adventure's Ishida Yamato and Garurumon, his partner's Adult-level evolution. Yamato & Garurumon are the next entry in the G.E.M. Series, a line of high quality figures aimed at young adult women, featuring characters from popular anime and manga series.

The G.E.M. Series has most recently featured Wizarmon and Tailmon from Digimon Adventure, which has been one of MegaHouse's most popular G.E.M. Series franchises since it became a part of the line in January 2014. Past Adventure G.E.M. figures include multiple versions of Takaishi Takeru and Yagami Hikari with the various forms of their Digimon partners, repeated reissues of Yamato and Taichi, and other members of the Chosen Children. Of the entire G.E.M. Series figures, Ichijouji Ken is the only Digimon character to hail from Adventure 02 rather than the first season.

An exact date and price for the Garurumon figure has not yet been given, but past Digimon figures were priced at between 4,800 yen and 11,000 yen (approx. $40~$90).
