"CSM Charis Rouser & Charis Arrow" review just before release! Introducing the final specifications!
Hello everyone. I am the developer of CSM Charis Rouser and Charis Arrow.
The "CSM Charis Rouser & Charis Arrow" will be delivered at the end of this month, and we will be introducing it using the final development sample in a pre-release review!
There are actually some update points that we haven't been able to introduce yet, so please take a look.
Below is the final sample.
Some of you may have seen it in the exhibits, but it is enormous!
When the Arrow is unfolded, it is approximately 130cm long and may hit various things, so please be careful when handling it.
The clear parts of the Charis Rouser and Charis Roe have a more textured appearance than the product images and display items on the reservation page. The clear red and clear green parts are painted silver on the back to give them a clear look.
The front part of the Rouser unit is removable as shown below, and contains a hidden BGM button, which is an unusual design that uses the flex of the part to press the BGM button. The structure of this BGM button was created based on the density of the Rouser's internal components and the premise that the design prioritized appearance to avoid creating any button-like parts on the exterior. Because it is located in a position that is easy to touch accidentally when removing the unit from the belt or attaching it to the Arrow, the BGM is designed to play by pressing it for about 0.3 seconds longer to prevent accidental activation of the BGM.
The shape of the side buckles has also been revised from the exhibit model, and modified to be as close as possible to the shape in the movie given the joint structure.
Strictly speaking, the one in the movie is a little thinner, but due to structural reasons there is a certain thickness necessary to hold the card holder, so this is just a design modification.
Regarding the side buckle, the inside of the exhibit was molded in silver,
We received several requests to paint the inside black, so we have painted the inside black. However, the side buckle on the right hip where the card holder is attached is left in its silver molded color because painting the inside would cause the paint to rub off when the card holder is attached. This part is covered and cannot be seen when the holder is attached.
We have also made some adjustments to the card holder.
We have made some fine adjustments to the gunmetal paint color and other coloring specifications, but the biggest change is that the heart-shaped parts are now much thinner.
On the order page it actually looks quite thick, but this is because at the time pre-orders began we were unable to verify how thin we could make it and how close we could make it to the shape in the movie. However, after repeated testing and revisions, we were able to make it as thin as the image above.
We have also updated the audio specifications from what we previously announced.
Regarding the BGM, the reservation page only said that it contained 10 songs,
Shortened versions of "Awakening" and "Take it a Try" based on the images from the movie have also been included, bringing the repertoire to a total of 12 songs.
Also,
Human Undead transformation sound (transformation cancellation sound) using "♡2. Spirit" and
Regarding the Wild Charis transformation sound using "♡K. Evolution Paradoxa",
The specifications have been updated to include multiple variations of the transformation sounds to match those depicted in the film.
That's all for the update points!
This is the largest item in CSM history, so be sure to enjoy it during the New Year holidays!
Well then!
