Hello everyone. This is Funasen.

This weekend on Saturday, October 17th, the "HENSHIN BELT DX Dark Sword Moon Darkness & Evil Sword Calibur Driver" will be released!



This is an item that allows one to transform into the mysterious swordsman, Calibur, but just like Saber and the others, he transforms by inserting a book into it.
Therefore, a special belt is also included. The transformation sound is death metal-themed and super cool, so look forward to it!
Just like SEIKEN SWORDRIVER, this sword is equipped with the ability to read Wonder Ride Books!
Unlike the Sword Driver, it only reads in one place, but it is an excellent product that can read all types of books individually.

When a Wonder Ride Book other than "Jaaku Dragon", which is necessary for Calibur to transform, is read, it will change to a name with "Jaaku" at the beginning, such as "Jaaku Brave Dragon" for "Brave Dragon" or "Jaaku Lion" for "Lion Senki".

And now the "Legend Wonder Ride Book" is on sale!
This is a traditional item that features all the previous riders, but this year, the lead voice will change due to differences in the lead side!

For example, the "Zi-O Advent Calendar Wonder Ride Book."



When you lead with SEIKEN SWORDRIVER, the sound "Zi-O!" will be heard, but if you use the Dark Sword Tsukiyomi, it will say "Another Rider!"​
In addition, in "Decade World Travelogue," SEIKEN SWORDRIVER will say "Decade!", and in the Dark Sword Moonlight, it will say "Dai Shocker!". In "A New Legend Kuuga," "Kuga!" will be replaced with "Grongi!", and in "01 AI Development Record," "Zero One!​" will be replaced with "Magia!"- never before seen variations in reading aloud. More to look forward to.

By the way, in response to the question, "Are there two Zero One Legendary Items?", the belt purchase campaign items and the three types of Zero One Wonder Ride Books released as candy toys are actually "Zero One Books" with different attributes from the books of the Legendary Riders.
"Hiden's Secret Story" ⇒ Hiden Intelligence Book
"Ames Animal File" ⇒ AIMS book
"Metsuboujinrai Monsters" ⇒ Metsuboujinrai.net book
The product was a book that represented these three organizations.

On the other hand, "01 AI Development Record" belongs to the same genre as the "Legend Book" legend books from Kuuga to Zi-O.
In other words, this is the genuine "Zero One Book."
The sound of the transformation made by the Sword Driver is also different from that in "Hiden no Hiden Monogatari."

Well, we're looking forward to seeing the enemy rider's sword, but the items used by the enemy organization are also available on PREMIUM BANDAI.
"Alter Ride Book Set"!



The books handled by Megiddo are also commercialized with completely new designs.
This is a set of three books, but by changing the number of books inserted into SEIKEN SWORDRIVER one, two, or three), you can enjoy three different transformation sounds!
Since it comes as a set from the start, it's a game you can enjoy all at once.
Be sure to get your hands on this to enjoy even more depth in your Sword Driver play.

And speaking of PREMIUM BANDAI, the "Display Base ver.2" finally comes in a new color variation! White! 



Why white? Because it makes SEIKEN SWORDRIVER stand out!



The "CSM EXA Belt" also looks great!!



The defining feature of these two is that the rider himself has a lot of white in him.
So I think it fits the image perfectly without any sense of incongruity.
Looking back at HENSHIN BELT, there are quite a lot of black-based designs.
If you put a black belt on a black base, the product will sink, so some products look better on a white base.

Additionally, we are now accepting preorders for a new pedestal, the Weapon Display Pedestal!



Unfortunately, I don't have a sample of this on hand right now, so I can't show photos of it in today's blog, but as soon as I get one I'll show you some photos of it displayed with various weapons.

That's all for today's blog. The next update will be on Monday, October 19th.


...CSM's new work will be announced.
