Digimon Data Link - Burst
This was posted on the Entertainment Earth Site
"Based on the 5th season of Digimon: Data Squad, this wave 2 set of toys and figures feature the fierce digital monsters portrayed in the animated series. The Digivice DataLink is an electronic toy for boys that enable them to enact fierce battles with their virtual Digimon monsters. This set of 2 pieces contains the following: 1x Shine Grey Mega (Burst), and 1x Mirage Gao Mega (Burst) Subject to change.) Each Digivice DataLink electronic toy includes one character that boys can groom, feed, train and prepare for Digital monster battles with other Digimon owners. Using the unit's infra-red technology, boys can "battle" their monsters while trying to defend the universe and to gain their opponent's DNA skills. With the DNA scanner feature, boys can also collect DNA skills for their electronic digital monster by collecting and scanning the DNA metal chips included in the Digimon character action figure sets. The unit also includes 7 mini games that boys can play to train their digital monster in battling skills and strength training exercises. Boys can also play any of the mini games to earn points to purchase exclusive items or to unlock unique, new characters."

It seems that the motion sensor is gone & replaced by some tacky looking sticker.
They state it's out in August while other sites still state July.

Not new to me.
So I guess there won't be an Airsignal feature. Makes me wonder how to archieve Burst Mode in these.
Probably by the Items they are talking about.
I might be wrong, but do these look somehow cuter and more toy-like, compared to the japanese version?

If they do then they may have been made to look more toy like. For some reason.

Here is are the japanese ones:
MirageBlue
ShineOrange
The Data Links are somehow blockier.

Didn't expect all the features of the Japanese one, nothing new there. Still will pick one up though.

I'll probably wind up getting one of these since my wallet cannot justify the import of one of the originals.
I'm surprised that it looks so different than the original one though. I wasn't expecting all the features to be kept, but it just looks rather cheap now.
I have to laugh at the article/advert though.
It may aswell just say "This product is not for girls, fack off Yoshi wannabes!"

Oh, we are so not going to repeat the gender wars we had upon reading the last toy statement from Bandai. :|
And I'm serious. This thread is about the toy itself, not about how much they hawk the toy as "something for boys" even though there are plenty of females here that buy them too.
So take the gender wars somewhere else, because you don't want to find out what will happen if you don't.
