Bandai Museum / 1990~2000

The Advanced Technology Exhibition Hall @ TEPIA was established by Association for Technological Excellence Promoting Innovative Advances (TEPIA) in 1989. It is a venue in which visitors can learn about a variety of advanced technologies that are the pride of Japan. They can also learn about the role plastics play in these technologies.

1990~2000

Since the advent of the Family Computer, new generations of popular video game consoles have evolved to offer increasingly high performance. Toys are also becoming more and more high tech. Tamagotchi, a portable device on which a digital pet is raised from an egg into an adult creature, and POKEMON, one of Japan's national character toys, became huge fads. Character toys modeled on the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon characters, cute heroines who fight against evil forces, appeared for girls.
