KAMEN RIDER GEATS

A wide variety of PREMIUM BANDAI Geets items!


Hello everyone. This is Funasen, the CSM representative.

Regarding the "CSM Birth Driver & X Unit", we will no longer be able to deliver it during December.
We sent you an email today informing you of the delay.
We apologize to all customers who were looking forward to purchasing this product.
The cause is as stated in last week's blog, and is due to delays to the transport ship carrying the goods.
The shipment was split into two, with the "Birth Driver standalone version" and the "Blu-ray set version" being shipped on different ships, so they arrived in Japan first and we were just about able to ship them out tomorrow, but the ship carrying the "Birth Driver & X-Unit" is still delayed in arriving in Japan and is expected to arrive in Japan during the New Year holidays.
We will contact you again in January to inform you of the shipping schedule, so please wait for that email.
Thank you very much.


In today's blog, I would like to introduce some Geets products that began being accepted for pre-order on PREMIUM BANDAI yesterday.
There is no CSM information today, but I would like to introduce this to you.

① DX DISIRE DRIVER Rider Base



This is a standalone version of the buckle part (named the Rider Base) that contains the electronic gimmick, which is the core of DISIRE DRIVER. This is a product that was created as a part of the TV show.
It would also be a good idea to combine it with the already released "DX Surprise Mission Box 001" to create a separate DISIRE DRIVER for distribution.
You can combine it with some core IDs you already own and decorate it in various ways. It's a product (and a program) that can be enjoyed in many ways other than just making sounds.


② DX DISIRE DRIVER High Spec Belt & Raise Buckle Holder



This is a belt product in CSM format.
This product is aimed at adult fans as it can be attached to DISIRE DRIVER to recreate the prop-like appearance of an adult wearer.
Since this product is compatible with DISIRE DRIVER, it is released with the DX title.
If you combine it with the Rider Base (1), you will have another driver separate from the DX DISIRE DRIVER, so we think it would be a good idea to purchase it together with (1).
For all the adult fans out there, we hope you enjoy this product!
The side parts and belt fasteners are also newly designed, with nylon belts running through them.

We have received feedback in the past that people would like to see this type of belt sold, but because this belt was a major attraction for the product when it was made into a CSM, we have continued to avoid selling it separately for DX toys.
Especially in the early CSMs, upgrading the belt made up a large proportion of the improvements.
However, as CSM has evolved, its positioning has changed to include upgrades to the sound and gimmicks as its main selling point, so we decided to release it for DX use this time.
In addition, unfortunately, there have been many counterfeit belts of this type on the market, not just from Geets, so this also includes measures to address this issue.

I'm sure there are some people who look at the selling price and think that it's higher than they expected.
The actual manufacturing cost of this belt (including the belt fastener and side parts) is about this much, which is why a CSM belt costs at least 10,000 yen.
It's a bit pricey, but it's a belt for adults that will give you a sense of satisfaction, so if you like the feel of CSM, be sure to upgrade to this product.


3. Revolve Change Figure PB02 KAMEN RIDER Nago & Punk Jack Set (name omitted) 



Pre-orders started yesterday. This is a figure set that lets you transform into the main forms of Nago and Punk Jack.
The "Hammer" and "Chain Array" which were missing from the Armed Parts products are included here.
The greatest appeal of this Revolve Change figure is that it is not just a figure product of two characters, but that it can also be played with as the other forms of Geets, Tycoon, and Buffer, and what is also wonderful is the setting and direction of the show "KAMEN RIDER GEATS."
As announced on TOY WEB page, "Command Form" will be released to the general public at the end of January.
The Command Forms cannot be combined with other Raise Buckles, but of course any toy can be combined with them, so you can have fun creating your own original Command Forms.
The more body parts you add, the more forms you can recreate, so we hope you'll collect the entire series!
I may be biased, but this is a really fun figure toy!


④ Revolve Change Figure PB03 KAMEN RIDER Seeker Set (name omitted)



Pre-orders for the Seeker Revolve Change figure began in conjunction with the film's theatrical release last weekend.
Adding this will make the building fun even more fun!
By combining the helmet parts of "Revi" and "Vice" included with this set with "PB02", you can recreate the forms that appeared in the movie version.
You can even create some interesting forms like Levi's Magnum Boost Form!
The DX Powered Builder Buckle & Gigant Buckle Set, NARIKIRI item that allows you to transform into a Seeker, is on sale to the general public from today, December 27th, so we hope you will enjoy playing with it while watching the movie over the New Year holidays.



KAMEN RIDER GEATS story made great progress in the Christmas broadcast, so we'll be keeping our eyes peeled in the future.
Thank you for your continued support along with your toys.


Finally, we'll also introduce two videos released on "Pureband Lab Z"!
Here is the episode introducing "CSM Lost Driver ver.1.5", "CSM Eternal Edge", and "CSM Dopant Memory Fuuto Detective Set"!
There will also be some gimmicks being introduced here for the first time, so be sure to check it out!


Next up, here is the episode introducing "CSM Century King Sun Driver" that was released earlier today!


It even introduces special moves that can be performed by operating the sensor, which should give you a better idea of what the product is like.
*When transforming into the locust monster, there is a "thud" sound when you hold your hand over the sensor, but this sound does not occur in the actual product. Please be aware of this.

We are accepting pre-orders for these products until next month, so we appreciate your continued support.










That's all for today's blog.
The next update is scheduled for January 10, 2023.

Have a happy new year!
