SHIN-MASKED RIDER

Introducing the "CSM HENSHIN BELT TYPHOON Early Model with Prana Forced Ejection Assistance Mechanism"!

Hello everyone.

We are Mitsuo and TK, in charge of developing the "Shin Kamen KAMEN RIDER" NARIKIRI TOYS.
Starting at 4pm today, we will begin accepting pre-orders for the "CSM HENSHIN BELT TYPHOON Early Model with Prana Forced Ejection Assistance Mechanism"!
The initial announcement that the product would be commercialized had already been made, but we were finally able to start taking pre-orders today.
The order period for this product is rather long, with orders ending on January 7, 2024, and delivery scheduled for June 2024. We hope you will take your time to consider it.
Also, the promotional video was released on YouTube today, have you seen it?
Seeing is believing, so if you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend you check it out.

*The CSM TYPHOON shown in the PV is a prototype before the final appearance, and there are some differences with the actual product. The design has been updated since the PV, and is expected to be closer to the one in the movie.

This time, we would like to introduce some highlights, focusing on the parts that we were unable to cover on the order page or PV!

① Pop-up gimmick when transforming back!
The CSM TYPHOON is equipped with a pop-up gimmick that was seen when it was detransformed in the movie.
The actions taken when activating the gimmick have also been faithfully recreated to those in the movie, with the transformation being cancelled by pressing the button on the top of the right side buckle.
In addition, there was a scene in the movie where the internal mechanism of the windmill would light up after popping up and releasing prana, so the CSM TYPHOON also has an LED lighting gimmick installed in its internal mechanism in addition to the LEDs that light up the surface of the windmill.
Of course, the items that appear in the movie "Shin Kamen KAMEN RIDER" were not designed with reproduction as toys in mind, so I remember that all of our development and design staff were astonished when they first saw this pop-up gimmick at a preview screening.
However, we couldn't help but recreate this gimmick in CSM! So, we are now able to deliver it to you all.
When you see the real thing, it has an amazing gimmick that feels even more real than in the PV, so I would love for you to actually pick it up and play with it.

We are also currently designing and developing the second belt, an "initially improved version with an opening and closing safety device," which will of course be equipped with a shutter opening and closing gimmick!
Although the internal structure is completely different between the pop-up gimmick and the shutter gimmick, we have been developing the belt so that the thickness and size will not change between the first and second editions, so we hope you can safely get your hands on this "Early Model with Prana Forced Ejection Assistance Mechanism." (Please note that reservations for the second edition belt are still a long way off.)

② The belt is made of luxurious genuine leather!
The belt of this product is made of genuine leather, giving it a luxurious finish!
As was the case with the "CSM TYPHOON" released in 2022, using genuine leather increases the cost, but the texture is impeccable.

In addition, if genuine leather is stored properly, it will deteriorate less over time than synthetic leather and is more durable.
When developing this item, we considered using synthetic leather to reduce costs, but because synthetic leather hydrolyzes and falls apart within a few years, we decided that genuine leather would be best from a durability standpoint.

Because it is made from high-quality materials, it gives a sense of realism and fulfillment when you wrap it around your waist, so I hope you will enjoy it.


3. Audio gimmicks to enhance immersion!
This item contains many of the distinctive sound effects used in the movie "Shin Kamen KAMEN RIDER."
As stated on the order page, in addition to the "first appearance sound from the top of the cliff," "impact sound," and "rider kick sound," the "descent from the helicopter and spinning kick sound" seen in the battle against Hachiorg will also be included.
In addition, TYPHOON shone especially brightly when descending from the helicopter in the battle against Hachiorg, so in order to recreate that, when the corresponding sound effect is played on this item, the LEDs on the front side of the windmill and the LEDs for the internal light will all light up, making it appear brighter than when it is normally transformed. We hope you enjoy the variations in light.

Additionally, the Cyclone guidance sensor mounted on the left side buckle uses the same electrostatic sensor as the "DX Vision Driver."
In the movie, this part was used by tracing the touch panel rather than pressing a button, so we designed it this way to recreate that.
The sounds of the Cyclone being guided and then exploding, as seen in Battle No. 0, have also been recorded, so we hope you will try playing the game with the feeling, "Sorry, Cyclone..."!


That's all for today's blog! Well then!
