D-3 Ver. 15th Paildramon Color Sells Out in Five Days

March 11th, 2016. The latest color version of the D-3 Digivice Ver. 15th became available via the Premium Bandai web shop today, in a run of just 3,000 units. Like with the black and blue Ver. 15ths before it, the Paildramon Color device is being given a limited run. Based on the color scheme of Motomiya Daisuke & Ichijouji Ken's Jogress D-3, the toy goes on sale for 9,990 yen from 11:00 PM Japanese Standard Time. The finished devices will ship in July. Those that order it will receive a Paildramon illustration sheet.

The Digivice will contain more than 150 Digimon, with more than 80 being usable by the player. There are six available partner Digimon, the selection being derived from Digimon Adventure 02; Patamon, Hawkmon, V-mon, Wormmon, Armadimon, and Tailmon. Aside from the color the device appears to be identical to its predecessors, with the structure of the Paildramon Color's gameplay following the same route as the original Ver. 15th D-3. The LCD toy tours players through the world of the anime series, culminating in a final battle with Armagemon. Imperialdramon Paladin Mode will be available on this Digivice just as he will be in the preceding D-3 Ver. 15th, and by connecting it to a first generation Ver. 15th, tamers can unlock a special message.

As of March 16th, the device is sold out, with "no plans" for a continuation.

D-3 Ver. 15th Digivice Paildramon Special Edition Announced

February 9th, 2016. The Premium Bandai web shop updated tonight with a surprise product in stock; the D-3 Ver. 15th Digivice Paildramon Color. As with the original D-3 Ver. 15th--which will be sent out this June--the Paildramon Color Ver. 15th will be produced in only limited quantities, fixed at 3,000 units. Preorders will open on March 11th at 11:00 AM Japanese Standard Time, and the final product will be shipped out to buyers in July 2016. The price is identical to preceding D-3 Ver.15ths, 9,990 JPY. (About $90 at present exchange rates.)

The previous twin black and blue models of D-3 sold out just six days after preorders opened. As P-Bandai only sells directly to Japanese buyers, international fans will have to go through a middleman service to purchase the Digivice.

The D-3 Ver. 15th has connectivity with 2014-15's Digivice Ver. 15th, unlocking a special message by connecting with the toy, and can further battle with the original D-3, Digivice, Digimon Pendulum, and Digital Monster series.

Stingmon and XV-mon Will Appear in Digimon World -next 0rder-

October 16th, 2015. Today the Digimon World -next 0rder- title site updated with a new batch of screenshots showing the game's male and female protagonists Takuto and Shiki with a lineup of new Digimon not seen in previous updates. The new screenshot batch confirms that Renamon, Kyubimon, Diablomon, Angemon, Stingmon, XV-mon, Gaomon, Mirage Gaogamon, and Dynasmon will all be included as usable Digimon in the game.

The pairing of Stingmon and XV-mon is an especially interesting choice given that past updates have shown War Greymon and Metal Garurumon in a party, and the game's TGS2015 trailer showed off Omegamon in battle. With Jogress potentially being an in-battle evolution option, Stingmon and XV-mon may point to Paildramon's inclusion in the game as a Jogress.
