Link's Awakening Remake: New Trendy Game Prizes

The newest video from GameXplain shows off some good stuff in Mabe Village, including the Trendy Game, where they get a Yoshi Doll. However, unlike in the Treehouse Live stream, they go back inside afterwards and reveal that the prizes have changed:

There's now a figurine of YipYip here, the Chain Chomp pet with the ribbon (now called CiaoCiao). And this is probably where you get the figurines for the stands from, where in this version of Link's Awakening you would have to play the Trendy Game a lot more to complete it.

There's also a new Piece of Heart there and with the new physics it might be difficult to cheese this game in order to get many Rupees early on. The initial Purple Rupee even gets replaced by the figurine, while a Red Rupee takes the place of the Yoshi Doll. But with the 10 Rupee fee you would only earn 10 Rupees from it.

Of course it also could be that this isn't the only source for those figurines. For example the Shop seems to have to extra slots, which weren't there in the original:

There are signs on them, probably indicating that something will go there in the future... And it would make sense, if those were figurines as well. The Chamber Dungeon could also be a source for getting these figurines.

But then there's the question, how you would store them in your inventory...? Maybe they have their own sub menu or maybe you can only get one at a time, where you'd have to place it on its stand before you can get the next one. Or maybe they don't appear in your inventory at all...
