There are two types of Gotchi Figures:
- Type A : (seen above) These are the ones that come with the Tamatown Tama-Go when you first purchase it. They only include one game; they do not unlock any new foods or items, and you don't see the character while you play.
- Tybe B: These are the ones sold separately. They include not just a new game, but also foods and possibly items. If you connect one of these to your Tama-Go and go to Tamatown.com, special features are unlocked.
Currently, three Type A figures exist: Mametchi, Memetchi, and Kuchipatchi. But these three characters are also available as Type B figures. To tell the difference, Type A will have a clear base, while Type B will have a colored one. Also, the poses for the character on top will be slightly altered.
In this image, Type A is the first row, and Type B is the second. What startles me is Kuchipatchi; the only difference in his pose is that Type A just has him squinting...
