Bandai America and Sanrio are teaming up for the ultimate collaboration, due out in December.

The Hello Kitty Tamagotchi combines two ‘90s icons in a pocket-sized game. The friendly character helps players raise the Tamagotchi from egg to baby to adult. She’ll give it milk or apple pie and help tidy up its space. Hello Kitty will also play games with the Tamagotchi character, either the Piano Game or the Balloon Game.

Fans of the two brands can pick up the Tamagotchi in December or preorder it now for $19.99. It will be available at hobby shops, GameStop, and Amazon.

Kids ages 8 and up can choose between two styles for the Tamagotchi-fied Hello Kitty. A white shell has Hello Kitty’s red bow and whiskers, while a red shell showcases some of her favorite things.
