BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone!
This is Funasen, in charge of CSM.



Today, March 18th, is the birthday of MASKED RIDER KUUGA 's Yusuke Godai!
Congratulations!! (^_^)b



And today, deliveries of the "CSM HENSHIN BELT ARCLE" will begin!
This wasn't something I did on purpose.
Since the person in charge at PREMIUM BANDAI has no control over the specific delivery date, I was just hoping that would be the case, but I was surprised that it actually turned out to be exactly that way...
However, since the shipping date is today, it will probably arrive in your hands tomorrow.
The ideal situation would have been to ship it on 3/17 and deliver it on 3/18, but since 3/17 was a Sunday, it seems that wasn't possible.


Well, in today's blog, I would like to give you some information about ARCLE, even though it is about to arrive.

●Recreating the Mighty Form transformation sequence from episode 2
Although the information was listed on the pre-order page, we were not able to explain on the blog how to recreate the first transformation scene from episode 2, so we are revealing that today.
This sequence starts when you press the red and blue buttons simultaneously while in the "pre-transformation state." Please see the image below.



If you press the "transform button" after this action, the sequence of sounds will be reproduced: multiple punches and kicks, followed by the sound of the transformation.
If you press the red and blue buttons simultaneously just as the "Intermission" background music finishes playing, you can start the game at exactly the same time as in the movie.

What's more, there is a "BGM standby function" that is standard in CSM, and in normal standby mode, the BGM starts playing "at the same time" as the transformation sound is activated, but as part of our efforts to recreate the sequence in episode 2, we have included a standby function that starts playing the BGM "Warrior" after the transformation sound from episode 2 is complete!
I've tried transforming a few times myself, and it's a really satisfying reproduction...!
Please refer to electronic manual for details.

●About the reinforcement with urethane seal when installing ARCLE Armor
The CSM version of ARCLE Armor is attached magnetically.
This was because if the old Concert version's armor had remained in the form of a clamping mechanism that snapped into place, the belt would have had to be removed every time the armor was put on, making it difficult to achieve what we wanted to achieve this time, which was to have the vibration sound of the transformation play the moment the armor was put on.

However, the downside of using a magnetic system is that the holding power decreases after the armor is attached.
Although we do use strong magnets that are small enough to fit inside the armor, if you jump or run while wearing them, the physical impact will hit the armor and cause it to fall off.
(There's no problem with transforming without making any big movements.)

There are two things you need to do to prevent this from happening.
One is, "Remove the belt you are wearing" (not HENSHIN BELT).
When you move, the hard belt hits the armor, causing impact and causing the armor to come off.



The second is reinforcement using the included urethane seal.
This product comes with the urethane stickers (16 blocks) shown in the image below.



The reinforcement is completed by attaching eight blocks to the top and bottom of the back of each piece of armor.
Please refer to the instruction sheet included for detailed instructions.





By doing this, you can enjoy activities such as "Rising Mighty Kick," where you actually run and jump while wearing the armor.

We ask for your understanding that this magnetic and urethane attachment/detachment structure is designed to faithfully recreate the scenes in the movie when playing with the figures, and is a way to deal with any physical problems that may arise from this.
We came up with this specification in order to somehow achieve both of these two things.



The above is ARCLE information just before delivery.

Once you have played the game, we would appreciate it if you could fill out the product questionnaire with your impressions, good points, bad points, and other opinions.
There is a link URL in electronic manual. We will use it as a reference for product development in order to further develop the CSM series.

Additionally, we are currently conducting a survey for those who pre-ordered the "CSM BLAYBACKLE," whose pre-order deadline was last week on Monday, March 11th.
The URL will be included in the information email from PREMIUM BANDAI.

We will use your feedback as a reference for future development, so we appreciate your cooperation.


That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be on Monday, March 25th.

Well then!
