BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone!!

This is Funasen.
We hope you will continue to support this blog and KAMEN RIDER toys this year!

Well, today we will continue to introduce the deeper specifications of the "CSM KIVAT BELT "!


① In "Wind Mode", various voices such as lines and whistle lines will be changed!
When you turned on the DX version of KIVAT BELT, it would randomly enter either a "happy" or "unhappy" state, and depending on that, the voice (the way the words were spoken) would change when you loaded various whistles.
In the main story, there was no scene where the way he spoke changed drastically depending on his mood, but instead, there was an episode where Kivat caught a cold right before or after transforming into his Dogabaki form.
Regarding the distinctively depicted condition of "cold," this product has a separate mode that can be controlled by button operation.
That's "cold mode."
If you press the two buttons on both ears of Kivat when he is in his "pre-transformed" state simultaneously, he will change modes while saying, "Oh no! Do I have a cold?"
In this "Cold Mode," all of the audio played by the dialogue buttons will change to dialogue taken from episodes in which the character has a cold.
Also, in the movie, the lines spoken while blowing the whistle were weak, so we changed the way all the linked whistles were spoken to sound weaker as well.
For example, if you say "Wake up!", if you have a cold it would go something like "Wake... up... cough cough..."
In addition, some of the responses to voice input will change to lines specific to Cold Mode.
However, once the Dogabaki Form transformation sequence begins, the calls of "Garuru Saber," "Basher Magnum," and "Dogga Hammer" remain as powerful as they are in the movie.
We created a program that would faithfully recreate even the small details from the film.

By the way, if you press the buttons on both ears at the same time again while in "cold mode," it will say "I'm back to normal mode!" and return to "normal mode."


② Includes the "Life Energy Predation Sound" by Castle Doran!
After playing various special move sounds, you can press the "sound effect button" on Kivat's ear to play "Castle Doran summoning sound" to "Life Energy predation sound."
Sometimes Kivat will randomly say things like, "Come on, fang!" or "Bite hard!"
(Sometimes they don't talk.)
Because this is a scene that can only be seen in the first half of the movie, we didn't record it as a series of sounds for the special move, but instead made it possible to play it back at will with the press of a button.


3. Includes multiple ways to call "Gabb" and "Tatsurot"!
What techniques can be used to express a "sense of life" using a machine?
I think one solution to this is "different reactions to the same action."​
Even though the lines are the same, they were dubbed by Sugita each time in the film, so they were said differently each time.
Regarding this expression, this product comes with three recorded patterns of the "gobble" sound that is made when the mouth is opened, and these sound are set to play randomly. In addition, when you set the Tatsurot Whistle, it will randomly play one of three ways to call it: "Tatsurot!", "Tatsurot--!", or "Tac-chan!"


4. If you leave Kivat alone, it will randomly play "needy" lines!
Following on from ③, to express the sense of being alive, we added a gimmick whereby if you leave Kivat turned on for a certain period of time, it will start speaking on its own.
"Oh, I'm bored," "Hey Wataru, tell me something," "Zzz...Zzz...Ah!" and so on. Kibatto, who has too much free time, will react in some way.

It is my hope that you will discover a quasi-living quality in this Kivat, which is imbued with irregularity, and grow to love it.
