Hello everyone! This is Funasen.

How did you spend your Golden Week?
In preparation for the next product development for CSM DEN-O BELT & Cataros, I've been rewatching a certain work.
Also, the president was amazing yesterday! The president is immortal.


Well, today is the deadline for pre-orders for the "CSM Hopper Zecter"!



Have you made your reservation yet? If there are any of you who are still undecided, I would like to share these words of Kento Handa:

"I think the stress of not being able to get something you want is greater than the stress of buying something you want and then thinking, 'Oh no, I bought this expensive thing! What should I do?' So I say, buy it while you can."

These are words that Handa Kento, who plays Inui Takumi, said in an interview when CSM Faiz Gear was released, and I believe these are golden words for collectors.
As a collector myself, I have often felt the same way.
Looking back, it's true that the regret I felt when I couldn't buy something or didn't buy it lasted much longer than the regret I felt when I bought it and then regretted it.
I ended up buying them later, but had a hard time finding them.

Of course, I'm sure you won't regret buying it, so I hope you'll enjoy it!

In addition, the first prototype of the Hopper Zecter has been completed today, so we will post a picture of the Zecter buckle.



The photo on the reservation page didn't really give the impression of it being die-cast, but I think this photo gives it a sense...
(It's the first time, so it's still a bit rusty, but I'll start polishing it from here.)
The fact that this part is die-cast is directly related to the feel of the buckle when deployed.
With the DX version, when you open the buckle, the spring force causes it to open up with a force, but there is also some recoil due to the lightness of the plastic.
The CSM version adds weight to it, giving it a firm feel when it opens.

In fact, we have just started reselling the "display stand"!



The delivery will be in July, which will be exactly the same time as the Hopper Zecter arrives.
Please try wrapping it around your decoration!


Finally, today I would like to tell you a little more about the audio specifications of "Neo Amazons Driver."

I mentioned in a previous blog post that there is a "transformation explosion sound" in the game, but there is a slight "pause" between the "transformation sounds" and the "transformation explosion sounds"! What is this pause?
You get it, right? It's "Uaamazon!" time. Or "...Amazon!" time. (It's not possible to get to "Armaazoon!".)

A basic rule for NARIKIRI playing is to say "Transform!" and make the toy move, but with Amazons, each character says the word "Amazon" in their own way, which makes for a more memorable transformation scene.
This product includes timing that allows you to insert lines that you will want to imitate! If you try it, you will get the illusion of an explosion reacting to your voice, which is quite fun!

The same goes for the Neo Amazons Register. The way to play the register is simple: push the beak to activate the transformation sound (the transformation explosion sound will also be played), and release it to activate the de-transformation sound. When the transformation sound is activated, the sound of the beak moving will be played first, and after a short pause, the transformation sound will be played.
Here too, you can pretend to be Amazon by mumbling, "Amazon."

This is the end of today's blog. The next update will be on Monday, May 15th.
See you next time!
