BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone, this is Funasen.

Today, September 23rd (Wednesday), is the start date for the first shipment of CSM Exabelt and ExaRizer!
The earliest they will arrive is tomorrow, but for everyone who has been looking forward to them, we hope you enjoy them!



I may be a little biased, but I think the appearance, color, and sound inside are all incredibly well done, and I can confidently present this product to you.
Please feel free to send us your comments and feedback by clicking the survey link in the instruction manual.
We will use all feedback, both positive and critical, to further improve the series.

In addition, in today's blog, we would like to provide some additional information to help you enjoy the product in good condition before it arrives.

This instruction manual comes with the following notice:



When attaching or removing the Ixa Knuckle from the belt, or when pushing the knuckle into place when loading the Whistle, please be careful not to handle it roughly, but rather handle it so that it is parallel to the direction of travel.
Rough handling may cause the silver paint to peel off.
This is due to the inherent structure of the Ixabelt, and we are taking all possible measures to address it.



Originally, the design had two features that meant that the contact surface between the knuckle and the belt would inevitably leave scratches: the detector on the knuckle would be constantly pressed down while it was set on the belt (the surface with the detector would be pressed against the belt), and the knuckle had a structure that allowed for some play to be pushed in.

With DX, the molded color remains the same, so there is no color peeling, but with CSM, it has to be painted.
Then it is painted, but the fact remains that the knuckle and belt will come into contact with each other.

Since good appearance is required for this series, we decided to paint it.
In addition, we take measures to prevent the paint from peeling off as much as possible (applying a coating and conducting durability tests).
We decided to paint the memory buttons silver for the CSM DOUBLE DRIVER ver.1.5 after durability testing, and we did the same thing.

That being said, we cannot say that it will never peel off, but by assuming that it will be handled with care, we were able to pursue reproducing the appearance.
When you receive the product from tomorrow onwards, please read the instruction manual carefully, handle it with care, and enjoy playing with it.

Thank you very much!
That's all for today's blog. The next update will be on Tuesday, September 29th.
This week's update was on Wednesday, so there will be a short gap since then.

Well then!
