Hello everyone. This is Funasen, the CSM representative.

It was announced today.
A comprehensive exhibition event for BANDAI 's "character NARIKIRI TOYS"
「NARIKIRI WORLD -BE YOUR HERO-」
It has been decided that the exhibition will be held at Tokyo Dome City Gallery AaMo from Friday, October 28th to Sunday, October 30th!



We held a CSM-only exhibition event in 2019, but this time it will include not only KAMEN RIDER, but also Super Sentai, Ultraman, and other special effects items in general, as well as new NARIKIRI items from animated works. BANDAI, which has been developing various character NARIKIRI items for many years, will be the only concept exhibition of its kind.
If you have time, please come along! Event information will be updated in the future, so we will announce it on our blog.

To commemorate the event, we will begin accepting orders for various character products on different days.
There will be no on-site sales or lottery sales. We will start accepting pre-orders for PREMIUM BANDAI products in stages leading up to the event.



First of all, KAMEN RIDER
Pre-orders for "CSM Lost Driver ver.1.5" and "CSM Eternal Edge" will start on Friday, October 14th!



At the 2019 CSM event, we released the "CSM DOUBLE DRIVER ver.1.5" as a commemorative product for the event.
For the upcoming event, the belt's sister product, the "Lost Driver," will be released in ver. 1.5 specification, making this a well-known lineup selection.
We hope you will enjoy this product along with the "CSM DOUBLE DRIVER" and "CSM Accelerator Driver", which are currently available for pre-order.

Then the following week,
Pre-orders for the "TV Power HENSHIN BELT Kingstone (Shadow Moon ver.)" will begin on Friday, October 21st!



Last year, as part of a crowdfunding project for "KAMEN RIDER BLACK SUN," we released KAMEN RIDER BLACK's HENSHIN BELT, the "TV Power HENSHIN BELT Kingstone," and now the Shadow Moon version is finally being commercialized!
This is the first time in the 35-year history of Shadow Moon's belt that NARIKIRI TOYS toy has been commercialized! So, be sure to check out this mysterious item that looks like a reproduction item, but is also a new and first-of-its-kind product!
Thank you to everyone in the BLACK generation.


And finally this product.
The event will be held on Friday, October 28th, which is also the day that KAMEN RIDER BLACK SUN will begin streaming.
"CSM KAMEN RIDER BLACK SUN HENSHIN BELT (temporary name)"
Reservations are now being accepted.



It has been a year since the design was announced at Tamashii Nation 2021 last fall.
During this time, all episodes of the series were produced, and development of HENSHIN BELT also progressed in parallel.
The event page also mentions the word "automatic transformation." It will be unveiled with a surprising gimmick.
The main attraction of this event will be the "BLACK SUN HENSHIN BELT." Look forward to it!


Changing the subject, deliveries of the "CSM OOO DRIVER Complete Set ver.10th" and "CSM OOO Scanner ver.10th" began yesterday.
This time, we packed it with gimmicks so that we could reproduce as many scenes as possible from all the OOO works. Therefore, the instruction manual is also very long.
For this reason, on page 3 of the instruction manual (see below), we have included explanatory text that allows you to see at a glance the general operating role of each switch.



First, I would like you to look here, jump to the page that describes what you want to do, and check how to do it.

The instruction manual has to include all of the operations included, which is why it ended up being so long, but we think some people will look at the volume and feel that there are too many operations and it's hard to play.
This is the result of being able to recreate all of the scenes from the movie with a limited number of switches, but for those who find it difficult to play and don't need that many functions, we hope you'll just enjoy the basic gameplay, which follows the same steps as the DX OOO DRIVER.
If you use the same controls as DX, you can play in exactly the same way as the DX version, so I don't think you need to go to the trouble of reproducing the finer details mentioned in the instruction manual.
(To allow for such simple play, all CSMs, not just this product, are designed to be played in the same way as the DX version.)
The small gimmicks that have been added are like sub-events or hidden dungeons in video games; they're not a problem if you don't do them, but will be even more fun if you do.
Just like playing a game to its fullest, I would like those who want to enjoy the depth of the OOO work to read the instruction manual carefully, try out various things, and have fun playing the game to the fullest.
Although there is only one product, the people who play with it have different expectations of depth in their toys, so the basic approach is to keep the basic operations the same while adding depth all the way to the end so that the greatest common denominator of people can enjoy it.
In that sense, the "CSM OOO DRIVER ver. 10th" has enough depth to be enjoyed for quite a long time, so we hope you will enjoy it for a long time, making new discoveries every time you play with it.

The OOO DRIVER has a slight gimmick in the box that contains the complete set.
After opening the lid, see below...



When you remove the medal box, you'll find a mysterious depression at the back.




Ah! It's in!



This means you can place the blister containing the three Goda medals that come with the "CSM Tajanity Spinner".
Only the three Gouda Core Medals were sold Sold separately, but the "Complete Set" box now stores all of the Core Medals.
The whole box is complete and you can play with just this part, so feel free to put it back in if you like.


And here is the final advertisement for OOO products.
Reservations for the "CSM OOO DRIVER Buckle for DISPLAY" will close next week on Tuesday, October 4th.



Those who have received their Oscanner will already know this, but in this "CSM Oscanner ver.10th", the black parts are not molded in the color but rather have a "semi-gloss paint" finish.


*The back side remains in its molded color as it will collide with the buckle.

This is an additional element that has two purposes: to differentiate it from the previous product and to give it a more luxurious feel.
On the other hand, the black parts of the included "buckle" remained in their molded color because the O-Scanner would hit them.
This "OOO DRIVER Buckle for DISPLAY" is designed for display purposes only and is finished with the same "semi-gloss black paint" as the OOO Scanner, giving it a more cohesive look overall.
If you like the paint job on the Auscanner, we hope you'll also check out these items.


And finally, an update on Revise products!
​About the color of "Perfect Wing by Stamp" from the "Memorial by Stamp" series!
The color on the pre-order page was slightly different to what's in the movie, but a sample of the final version has now been posted!



Don't worry, the molding color is perfectly matched to that in the movie!


Next up is "Gift Stamp"!
Here are some photos of the latest prints, compared to the Rex By Stamp.





It's huge! The bi-stamp was big enough, but this one is even bigger and its presence makes me laugh.
While struggling with the constraints of mold removal, various ingenuity was put into reproducing the organic design in the film as much as possible.
A part has also been added that completely hides the battery cover, and the lettering required for manufacturing is designed to not be visible on the outside.
Please look forward to the finished product.



The reservation deadline for the 3 Memorial Buy Stamps and Gift Stamps is the day after tomorrow, October 2nd (Sunday) at 11pm! Don't forget, it's coming up soon!
We are currently preparing a special design for the packaging as well! We will introduce it on our blog once it is completed.


That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be on Friday, October 7th.

See you next time!
