CSM event "THE HENSHIN" details announced!!!


Hello everyone, this is Funasen.

Details were announced today for "THE HENSHIN COMPLETE SELECTION MODIFICATION EXHIBITION vol.1"!
If you don't know yet, please check the page below.



In today's blog, I would like to summarize the information that has been made public.
This time, we will be focusing on the "HENSHIN BELT" and show three main exhibits.

① Past CSMs will be exhibited, with each work showing its own unique worldview!



This corner will display all of the CSM series released so far, from the first installment, DOUBLE DRIVER, to the 24th installment, the Amazons Driver. However, rather than simply displaying them in release order, the exhibition booths will be organized by "work" and "in accordance with the worldview of that work."
It's super cool, so I think it'll look great on Instagram!
In addition to past products, many unreleased items will also be on display!
Will that actually be turned into a 3D figure? Look forward to it!


② The toy production process "Until the DX ZIKU-DRIVER is made" is revealed!



If you are a toy lover, you may be wondering what the production process is like.
The production process of the "KAMEN RIDER" program itself was compiled into a special edition book after the show finished airing, and the process of creating item designs was featured in magazines such as Figure Oh, so I think there are some people who have a certain level of knowledge about it, but I don't think there are many opportunities to learn about the development process of the toys themselves.

The manufacturing of the toys goes hand in hand with the creation of the program, and there are many, many dramas behind the scenes. This time, we wanted to share some of those stories with you, so we decided to set up an exhibition area that shows the entire toy manufacturing process, from design to delivery.

As for the "drama" part mentioned above, there are quite a few off-the-record topics so I may not be able to tell you much, but the main focus is on the finishing touches of "product development and manufacturing", so I think it will be enjoyable for anyone with an interest in manufacturing in general!


3. The future of "HENSHIN BELT toys"! HENSHIN BELT that no one has ever seen before will be on display!



Have you ever been to a World Expo?
When I was a student, I went to the Expo 2005 Aichi, Japan. It was a fantastic and enjoyable event where various companies used their respective technologies to paint a picture of the future.
At this CSM event, we will be exhibiting three never-before-seen prototype HENSHIN BELT based on the concept of "HENSHIN BELT toys of the unseen future" that will make you think about that "future"!

For the design, we asked an official designer who has worked on numerous KAMEN RIDER, HENSHIN BELT, and weapons to come up with a completely new design for HENSHIN BELT based on three concepts, and then incorporated gimmicks to bring it to life.

The gimmick was developed in collaboration with companies that have unique technology and value, resulting in a very fun and exciting toy!
You can only see and experience this here! Come see the future of HENSHIN BELT toys at the venue!


And and···
On Friday, December 6th, the day before the event, a "Special Eve Festival" will be held.
A live-streamed talk show will be held with Takahashi Fumiya, who plays Hiden Aruto, and Okuno So, who plays Tokiwa Sougo!
The host will be Shiihashi Justaway, a well-known comedian who is a big fan KAMEN RIDER!

We asked the two of them to talk about the contents of the event...
The latest CSM work will also be announced during this talk show!
And, the CSM will be available for pre-order starting the night after the talk event!!

We brought back DOUBLE DRIVER as a result of this event, but that's not all!
This belt will also be on display at the venue, so please look forward to it.


Also, in this month's issue of "Figure King", we have a whopping 13 pages of "CSM Special Feature".



I have also been featured in an interview explaining some past items, so please check that out too.

In addition, "Hobby Japan" has also published a two-page article on CSM.



lastly.
Starting tomorrow, KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE "DX Shining Hopper Progrise Key" will be on sale!







Zero One's main form, the legitimate power-up form of the "grasshopper motif"!
The fact that it evolves while still retaining the original form motif is sure to tickle the otaku heart...!!
What's also great is that when you switch it into key mode it turns into a large grasshopper design.

The key parts on the front are printed with a plating-like effect called "hot stamping," giving them a truly glamorous appearance.
The transformation sounds are also really cool.
Be sure to get it!!


That's all for today's blog.

Due to today's update, there will be no blog post next Monday.
The next update will be on Monday, December 2nd.

Well then!
