Title: Here's the absolutely massive Tamagotchi Paradise next to other
objects in the wild, for scale

No product launch excites me more than the release of a new Tamagotchi. So
when it comes time to review one, I like to first give myself a little while
to just live with the device ΓÇö to feel that initial delight and let it die
down before I try to look at it critically. That way, I can more fairly
assess whether we've actually got a toy that's worth the price tag and will
hold a person's attention once the novelty wears off.

But Tamagotchi Paradise arrived a few days ago, and while a proper review
will be coming down the line, there's one thing we need to address right off
the bat: This thing's fucking huge.

It is slightly larger overall than the previous reigning beast of the
Tamagotchi family, the Tamagotchi Pix (but a hair thinner). Tamagotchi
Paradise is so big, it makes me want to resurrect out-of-fashion internet
terms to describe it: absolute unit; "oh lawd, he comin'"; etc., etc. Leading
up to the device's release, there were a lot of questions about how big it
really is, so for anyone who hasn't yet had a chance to get their hands on
one, here you go, I'm going to do my best to illustrate it for you.

Here's how Tamagotchi Paradise compares in size to:

Now, don't get me wrong, Tamagotchi Paradise's comically large build isn't
necessarily a bad thing. Actually, I'm kind of into it. It's certainly harder
to juggle this device with anything else I might be holding, like my phone or
a drink, but it does have a nice heft to it and it feels pretty good in the
hand. And thanks to its sheer bulkiness, I'm probably less likely to misplace
it around the house, as I've been known to do with smaller models that easily
slip between couch cushions.

Will I be running two of these at the same time? Probably not, beyond the
brief moments when I want to use the Connection features. My bag only has so
much room. But is Tamagotchi Paradise so cumbersome that I won't be bringing
one everywhere with me for the foreseeable future? I think we all know the
answer to that.
