Hello, this is Funasen, the CSM developer.

Thank you so much for all your reservations for CSM ALTERING!
We are currently accepting second-round reservations for shipment in October.

■Introducing how to transform into Shining Form!

① How to transform from Burning Form
In the play, the Burning Form is exposed to sunlight and transforms into the Shining Form.
Since there is almost no motion involved, I had a hard time deciding how to do it, but I decided on the transformation using the movements below.



In most scenes where people are bathed in sunlight, they are tilting their bodies upwards and sticking out their chests.
At that time, even if both arms are down, you will feel your hands moving slightly to the left and right as you push your chest out. In terms of muscle movement.
I chose this method because the movement gives the impression of passing over two sensors at the same time.
Another easy-to-understand example is in the "TV Special: New Transformation," Burning Form spreads both arms out from the front of his chest down (a hand movement that's a bit like Gills').
With this method too, your hands will end up right in front of the sensor as you move, so I think people will be happy with this method of operation.
(Although, in this case, the transformation sound was heard when the arms were in front of the chest.)

In addition to the sensors, you can also transform into Shining Form by pressing both hip buttons simultaneously while in Burning mode.

By the way, since the transformation reacts to sunlight, I did think about using a light-sensitive sensor...
If you have a CSM ARCLE, you will find out by trying it that the infrared sensor becomes less sensitive in sunlight and stops responding.
So, since this model also has an infrared sensor, we couldn't include features that would encourage playing outdoors.
The LEDs are hard to see outside.
Also, even if you plug in a light sensor, if the sensor reacts the moment you move out of the shade into the sun, you won't be able to transform at the time you want, so I thought it would be inappropriate for this toy.


② How to transform into Shining Form directly
This is the transformation that took place in the final episode.
Before transforming, equip the Dragon's Nail. Then, make the two infrared sensors react at the same time, just like in step ①.
This will complete the direct transformation.
In the movie, you thrust both hands forward, cross them, and pull them back. There were two sensors in the path of the pulling hands behind them, so this method of operation worked perfectly.


So, along with the Grand Burning transformation, all of Shoichi's various transformation poses can now be recreated with just two infrared sensors.
I'm relieved that we were able to meet all of the requirements by using the minimum number of sensors and installing them in the minimum locations.
This was the most difficult part of creating the specifications.

That's all for today's ALTERING information.


Also, starting today, pre-orders for new Saber products are now open on PREMIUM BANDAI.
Its name is "Extra Large HEROES KAMEN RIDER SABER Brave Dragon"



This is an ultra-large scale figure measuring approximately 52cm in length. The "Junior Large HEROES" brand is a figure brand that BANDAI markets in China, and primarily produces Ultraman figures. However, with KAMEN RIDER SABER now available, it will also be released in Japan exclusively through PREMIUM BANDAI.
There haven't been many examples of figures of this size in recent years.
A while ago, they released large-scale figures under the brand name "Kyomoto Collection," and this figure is almost exactly the same scale as those.
And because of its size, the fine details of the paintwork can be seen! Even the glowing details of the flame sword Rekka are printed, resulting in an overwhelming quality!

I would love it to be displayed as interior décor in the entrance or living room.
To all Saber fans and figure fans, thank you for your support.

That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be on Tuesday, February 9th.
