BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone. This is Funasen, the CSM representative.

It started streaming on "Toei special effects Fan Club" yesterday.
Have you seen" KAMEN RIDER Genms: Smart Brain and the 1000% Crisis" yet?

The Genms project, which started as an April Fool's joke project, has finally reached the point where a new form will be introduced...!
This new item has already been commercialized! Pre-orders for this item will begin today at 4pm.

Product 1: "DX Genmu Musou Gashat + Thousand Ark & Dan Kuroto Progrise Key"!



This product is a set of three new items that appear in this spin-off work.
The highlight of the series is the Genmu Musou Gashat. The visual of the Hyper Muteki, which can be called the Genm version, is the next form after God Maximum! It's really cool!

The toy gimmick combines the "Gashat Gear Dual dial gimmick" with "animation from the Mighty Brothers XX Gashat," making it a new Gashat that goes beyond simply changing its shape and color.
Above all, the transformation sounds are super cool. It's worth watching just to see the transformation scenes, so please check it out on TTFC!

The Thousand Ark has the same appearance as the Ark One Key in a different color, but the internal sound has been completely redesigned and is exclusive to the device.
Each item, including the Kuroto key, also features original lines recorded by Iwanaga and Sakuragi.
Anyway, please check out the work first.


And now for the long awaited item, the fifth product release in the DX uncommercialized item project!
Product 2: "DX Mighty Novel X & Bang Bang Tank Gashat"!



With the release of Genmu Musou, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to commercialize it.
This is the latest project in the "DX Commercialization Plan for Uncommercialized Items" launched last year.

The Mighty Novel X Gashat is a Gashat that appears in the novel KAMEN RIDER EX-AID: Mighty Novel X, published by Kodansha.
If you haven't read the novel yet, please take this opportunity to check it out.

This product also led to the creation of new character design illustrations for the rider.



So that's the visual. The army color for Snipe-related games seems to be orange. (Including Jet Combat)

With this, all the Rider Gashats used in the battle have been commercialized!​
(Averting his eyes from Bos of Terra.)
This is a long-cherished wish for all the Gashat collectors from back then. We look forward to your pre-orders.


Additionally, the 10th episode of "Pre-Ban Lab Z," which has been streaming on YouTube since last week, introduces the "CSM OOO DRIVER Complete Set ver. 10th."

You can listen to the various transformation sounds with changed pitch in "Ancient OOO Mode", so take a look if you're interested.

Also, here is the new gimmick that was revealed for the first time in the video above!
After transforming, you can use the sound effect button to play the "ability activation sound" that corresponds to that combo or subspecies!
Oars' unique fighting style involves each part of his body exerting a special animal ability.

This was a gimmick that we came up with during development of the previous CSM OOO DRIVER, but we gave up on it because it would have been difficult to implement this behavior given the number of buttons (it would have made the controls quite complicated).
With the addition of the "sound effect button," recording was finally made possible.
*However, this sound effect is limited to some animal medals, not all medals.

In addition, a future issue of "Pre-Ban Lab" will feature the Gashat Progrise Keys, which will also feature the transformation sounds of Mighty Novel and Bang Bang Tank for the first time. Look forward to it!


Finally, the latest visual for the "Toei special effects Fan Club" release" KAMEN RIDER Rider Birth: The Secret Story of the Birth of Birth-X" has been released!



It is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2022, and the "CSM Birth Driver" is also scheduled to be unveiled around that time, so please stay tuned for further information.

That's all for today's blog. The next update will be on Tuesday, April 26th.
See you next time!
