Hello everyone. This is Funasen, the CSM representative.

Pre-orders for the "CSM Dopant Memory Fuuto Detective Set" have started today at 4pm!



This set contains six types of memory used by the Dopants who appeared in the anime version of "Futo Tantei."
The choice was made based on the dopants who fought against the Doubles in the anime and memories that have not been commercialized before.
(I don't know when I'll get the missing bottle, but I hope to release it someday along with the other items I need!)

The biggest feature of this product is its appearance, which is based on the accessories from the live-action version and reproduced through new modeling.
Since the animation is drawn differently depending on the scene, we decided to use the live-action version as reference when commercializing it as a 3D object.
The three-dimensionality of the bone details has been enhanced, the number of wrinkles has been increased, and the shape of the buttons has been adjusted without compromising the shape of the bones.
(However, because the bones have been made a little thicker to improve the accuracy of the reproduction, the linking gimmick with DOUBLE DRIVER, etc., which was possible with previous products, has been removed.)
To improve the appearance of the back side, the entire back side is made into a cover part, and the battery cover is placed behind it.
This is something that cannot be done with clear-colored Gaia Memory (it wouldn't make much sense), and is only possible because it is Dopant Memory.
This successfully eliminated the toy-like feel.



And! By applying a dirty paint job, we were able to express the solid feel of an item from the movie.
The paint job is on a level that surpasses previous Dopant Memory models.

The memory stickers also use design data created specifically for this anime, and a design was also created specifically for the product to include "Scream," which does not appear as a memory in the anime.
Scream is the only one whose mark is black, unlike previous Dopant Memory characters. After discussions with the original author, Sanjo, and other members of the Fuuto Detective team, it was decided that the color black would be chosen to express Scream's brutality.



As a fan, I am eager for the anime to continue. And when it does, I would like to make memories of the Dopants that will appear in the future!
While we look forward to such a future, we hope you will enjoy this product for now.


In addition, today we are unveiling for the first time the packaging design for "CSM DOUBLE DRIVER ver.1.5 Fuuto Detective EDITION"!

Here's the front page!



The double nailed their signature pose, "Now, count your sins!"
This is an original illustration by Kabashima Yosuke, the director of "Futo Tantei"!

And on the back is Shotaro and Philip.

These were the original drawings by the two people who played a central role in the anime series.
I requested lighting that would stand out against the black background of CSM, and I was blown away by how cool it turned out!

In fact, even if you just look at the product itself, it is impossible to tell from its appearance whether it is the Fuuto Tantei EDITION or not, and this is not apparent until you play the sound.
While it is not visually recognizable as a Fuuto Tantei product, the only thing that distinguishes this product from a Fuuto Tantei product is the packaging design.
It can be said that this is the biggest identity from a visual perspective. The cover of "CSM Gaia Memory" features Shotaro and Philip, and the back cover has a warning notice.
Only the "CSM DOUBLE DRIVER" version will have images of KAMEN RIDER DOUBLE
The deadline for purchasing the two products, DOUBLE DRIVER and Gaia Memory, was the end of last month, but they sold out before the deadline and there was a long period of time when they were unavailable, so we quickly set up a third round and extended the deadline.
We are accepting reservations until 11pm on November 14th next week, so if you are interested in the packaging, you still have time!

We have also created a video introducing the new features that have been added, so please take a look.

And speaking of the "CSM HENSHIN BELT Century King Sun Driver," which is currently accepting pre-orders, there has been a report of Nishijima and Director Shiraishi appearing at the opening ceremony of the "NARIKIRI WORLD" event, so please take a look at the report below.

There is also a video of the ceremony, which includes the extremely rare and mysterious scene of Nishijima holding the Titan Sword!
A report of the entire event has also been uploaded, so please take a look if you were unable to attend.

A limited number of "Senki-King Sun Driver" were also available on Amazon, but they sold out the other day and there are no plans to restock them in the future.
*Please note that it is currently being sold at a resale price.
If you are planning to purchase this product, please purchase it from PREMIUM BANDAI.
Even including shipping, there is no price difference between Amazon and PREMIUM BANDAI.



I hope to be able to introduce the additional gimmicks around the week after next. (I'll check how much of a spoiler it's okay to reveal.)

Finally, we'd like to once again thank you for all the applications to the "CSM/CSG Commercialization Campaign"!
Due to the sheer volume of submissions, it will take time to read through them all, but we will read them and use them as reference for future product development.
Thank you to everyone who wrote down their requests regarding specifications. We will take this into consideration as well!

That's all for today's blog.
The next update is scheduled for 11/15 11/22 (Tuesday).

See you next time!
