BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Happy birthday! The new OOO DRIVER is born!!

Hello everyone. This is Funasen.

If you're reading this, you've probably already seen the product page, but were you surprised?

To be honest, there is so much information to share that I don't even know where to start...


First of all, we would like to thank you for all your reservations!

They sold out within six hours of launch, and pre-orders for the second batch were soon opened.

The second batch of orders is limited, so we recommend you make your reservation early.




In today's blog, we will provide an overview of the whole thing and go into detail on the "three points" listed on the reservation page.

By the way, the "CSM OOO DRIVER. Three points this time" are a reference to "KAMEN RIDER OOO, three previous events."



One! "You can transform into all the combos that appear in the movie!"

Yes, first and foremost, this is it. In the previous blog where I announced the teaser, I said that OOO is almost the only main rider who "has a clear and unique transformation sound that appears in the show, but can never be reproduced in a DX toy."



First of all, you will be able to transform into all of those combos!



"Soul Combo" that appeared in the movie "OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen KAMEN RIDER"

"Super Tatoba Combo" that appeared in the movie "MOVIE Wars MEGA MAX"

"Love Combo" appeared as an image in episode 24 of the main story.

"Oars' Tatoba Combo 800 years ago" that appeared in episode 30 of the main story

Appeared in the final episode of the main story. "Tajadol Combo by Ankh Voice (final episode ver.)"

Another rider who also transforms with the power of medals is KAMEN RIDER Poseidon.
There are six of them. The medals to play these sounds will be included with the complete set.



There are no medals for the Love Combo, and it is just a sound that Eiji says, so there is no medal included in the product, but it is included as one of the sounds that can be played with the newly added dialogue button. It is "Love! Love! Love!"

OOO's Tatoba Combo 800 years ago is a reproduction of the slightly lower-pitched transformation sound of "Tartoba! Ta-to-ba ta-to-ba!"

When scanning a regular Hawk, Tiger, or Grasshopper medal, you must perform a specific action to play this audio.



It goes without saying that "Tamashii Combo", "Super Tatoba Combo", and "Tajadol Combo (final episode ver.)" are the combo sounds that were essential to include in this product.



In addition, this time we are also making shark, whale, and wolffish medals, and have included buckles for KAMEN RIDER Poseidon, the rider who transforms using those medals.

By replacing the left and right belt straps from OOO DRIVER, this can be completed as the "Poseidon Driver."

Regarding the base of the belt, the Poseidon Driver does not actually have light blue lines on the top and bottom, but since the price would go up if we added two belts, we decided to make them shared. It's the same idea as the G Den-O buckle on DEN-O BELT.





We had received many requests in advance to include sound and light in the belt buckle itself, but due to space restrictions, it was not possible to include a battery, speaker, LED, medal identification function, etc. For that reason, we decided to put the "transformation cancellation sound" in the scanner rather than in the buckle.
If you press the scanner trigger and the dialogue button at the same time, the sound of the transformation being cancelled will be played, so you can play out like in the movie by manually returning the buckle and operating the scanner!



Two! "With the "New Core Medals" that the Kougami Foundation will create in the future, five new combos will be born!"
This time, the medals that appeared in the materials for "MOVIE War MEGA MAX" have finally become a reality, with an astonishing feature!
As fans of OOO who have seen the movie may remember, the shark, whale, and wolffish that were in the materials appeared as KAMEN RIDER Poseidon. There were also various other animal designs, such as a polar bear, gazelle, and bee.
These voices were actually recorded in the DX OOO DRIVER that was released at the time! (Those who are familiar with the back story and toy specifications will already know.)
After discussing with Naomi Takebe, producer of OOO at Toei, and Ishimori Productions, a project was formed to create new combo designs and new combo songs, and five new OOO combo forms were drawn! The new combo songs were also newly created by the people who wrote the lyrics and composed the original combo songs!

The future Core Medals are not the same three colors as KAMEN RIDER Poseidon's "Shark, Whale, Wolffish," but are colorfully colored in the so-called Tatoba style. In order to materialize them based on the movie materials, unique colors were added. These five OOOs are so cool that you can imagine them fighting in the future, or rather, you would want to see them in a movie.

Some of the new combo transformation sounds are also featured in the gameplay video below, so be sure to take a listen!

In addition, the ancient document and diagram of the Ormedal created by an alchemist, which was also featured in the play at the time, has now been made into a complete version.
This is also a document written by Ishimori Productions. It's fun just to look at it.




3! "The world of OOO is expressed through the recording of Eiji Hino and Ankh's voices and background music!"
Yes, this features plenty of audio from Watanabe Hideo, who plays Hino Eiji, and Miura Ryosuke, who plays Ankh, who are still excited about their appearance in "Heisei Generations FINAL"!

As the two of them said at the stage greeting in Kansai yesterday, anyway! We recorded a lot of lines!!
It's the dialogue between the two characters - a series of famous lines that allow you to follow the emotionally heated scenes, whether it's light-hearted banter or emotional clashes.
The series of games where you transform while listening to the two of them's voices is sure to get you excited and make you think back to the play!
The background music really brings it all together! Due to space limitations, only one insert song from the show, Tajadol, was included, but there are still two battle scene background songs included! All of OOO's songs put you in a good mood, so when combined with the transformation game,
The fun is endless!

We also had the opportunity to interview Watanabe and Miura this time, so if you haven't seen it yet, please check it out below.





We apologize for this being another high-priced product following Kaixa Gear, but delivery will be in June (July for those taking the second order), so we hope you will continue to cultivate your desire and earn Cell Medals (slang)... To borrow a line from Uva...

Release that desire!

So that's all for today.


Starting next time, we will be explaining the detailed specifications of OOO DRIVER Complete Set in several parts.
The next update will be on Monday, December 18th.

See you next time!
