Hello everyone! I'm C-san, in charge of developing NARIKIRI TOYS!
This time we would like to introduce the "PREMIUM DX Memorial Raise Buckle Series", which is already available for pre-order from today, August 27th!



The key features of this product are new sculpture, heavy painting, and voice recording!

Since there are so many upgrades from the DX, we will leave the explanation of the "new modeling" and "heavy paint" to the official website and BANDAI official YouTube channel "Banmani!"...
In this blog, we will mainly introduce you to "audio recording" in detail!

First of all, of course, this!
PREMIUM DX Memorial Magnum & Boost Raise Buckle Set
This product includes a wide variety of sound effects and cast voices!
You can enjoy a wide variety of sounds by using three different actions: pressing the additional button on the bottom of the unit, pulling the Magnum trigger, and turning the boost handle.
First, let me explain each buckle in order.
[Memorial Magnum Raise Buckle]
There are 3 modes in total!
 
◆ "Sound effect mode"
When you load it into DISIRE DRIVER in this state and transform, additional sound effects that recreate scenes from the main story will play from the buckle in time with the transformation sound coming from DISIRE DRIVER!
The machine assembled with a clatter, accompanied by the sound of a bullet exploding as it was fired toward the "MAGNUM" logo that appeared in the background, and the arms grabbed the Magnum foam armor and attached it to the body!
You can recreate the sound effects of the transformation scenes seen countless times in the movie!
This specification, which was not possible in the DX version, is truly a memorable one!

◆ "Final episode mode"
This is a mode where you can recreate the scene where Geets appears in the final episode.
*This article contains spoilers, so please be careful if you have not seen the final episode.

Kagekazu, Neon, and Michinaga are helpless against the fierce attack of KAMEN RIDER Rigado Omega. But this man comes to their rescue!
「BOOST＆MAGNUM READY FIGHT FOR DESIRE」
Hidetoshi, now a god, rushes to the scene! This scene was extremely exciting!

So in this mode,
DISIRE DRIVER: "BOOST & MAGNUM READY FIGHT"
Magnum Buckle:"FOR DESIRE"
In this way, you can recreate the final episode by hearing the Magnum Buckle sound after DISIRE DRIVER!

◆ "Normal mode"
This is a mode in which no additional sound effects are played when transforming.
Some of you may be wondering what this mode is for, but it is mainly used when setting two memorial buckles on DISIRE DRIVER.
By setting one buckle to a mode such as "sound effect mode" or "final episode mode" that plays additional sound effects during the transformation, and the other to "normal mode," you can prevent sounds from playing from both buckles at the same time or overlapping.
*In other words, depending on the combination of buckles, it is not possible to "play in a way that the additional sound effects play in order from the two buckles in a timely manner." The order in which the transformation sounds of both buckles play depends on DISIRE DRIVER. And the two Memorial Buckles themselves cannot know "whether their own transformation sound will play first." Therefore, the buckles themselves cannot determine whether the "additional sound effects that play over the transformation sound" should play first or after the additional sound effects of the other buckle. For this reason, we have made it possible to play without any discomfort by combining "Normal Mode" and "Sound Effect Mode," which do not play additional sound effects.

We hope you will take advantage of this "normal mode" and enjoy playing with Memorial Raise buckles.

What's more, in any mode, pressing the button on the bottom will activate Hidetoshi's cast voice!
In other words, you can play like this!
◆ Set the buckle on DISIRE DRIVER to activate the transformation standby sound.
​Press the button on the bottom to activate Hidetoshi's "transformation" voice
◆ Transformation sounds are activated by buckling the buckle
◆ Press the button on the bottom to activate the catchphrase, "Now, here comes the highlight!"​

By the way, Hidetoshi's transformation audio also includes the sound of snapping fingers!

 
In addition, when transforming by rotating the revolver part on the buckle, the DX version had a revolver sound after 1/6 of a turn and a gunshot sound after 2/6 of a turn, but the Memorial version has a new internal mechanism that does not make the gunshot sound until it has turned once!
In other words, the version has been upgraded so that you can spin the revolver as hard as you want, just like in the movie, and then operate the trigger to hear the sound of a gunshot!

Now you too can fully NARIKIRI in KAMEN RIDER GEATS /Ukiyo Hidetoshi!

[Memorial Boost Raise Buckle]
 
This model comes with five modes - Eiju mode, Keika mode, Nene mode, Michinaga mode, and normal mode - that allow you to recreate scenes in which each rider used the boost buckle!
(In normal mode, like Magnum, no additional sound effects are heard when linked with DISIRE DRIVER.)

Each of the four modes includes not only the voices of each cast member, but also additional sound effects when transforming!
To hear this, make sure you have your Magnum Ninja Zombie Beat Rays buckles ready!
Both the DX version and the memorial version are OK!
When using the memorial version of the Raise Buckle, set it to "Normal Mode"! This is where it comes in handy!

Insert the two buckles into DISIRE DRIVER and transform...
Hideju Mode → Overlaps with the "Magnum Boost Form" transformation sound
Keiwa Mode → Overlapped with the "Ninja Boost Form" transformation sound
Michinaga Mode → Overlaps with the "Zombie Boost Form" transformation sound
Nene mode → Overlaps with the "Beat Boost Form" transformation sound
Additional sound effects that match each transformation sound are activated from the Memorial Boost Raise Buckle!
The transformation sounds vary in length and rhythm depending on the form, but we have paid particular attention to detail so that each sound effect is different to match the scene in the movie!

Another thing worth paying attention to is the "Boost Time Special Move" that is activated by turning the handle of the Boost Raise Buckle twice after transforming!
This also has additional sound effects that correspond to each mode!
Here's one example:

◆ Eiju Mode/Magnum Boost Form
⇒Reproduce the Rider Kick that Geets summoned Boost Striker to unleash, reminiscent of the defeat of Castle Jamat in episode 1!
Includes Boost Striker's footsteps and cries, Boost's muffler sound, and even the Rider Kick explosion sound!

◆Michinaga Mode/Zombie Boost Form
⇒Reproduce Buffer's special attack reminiscent of the defeat of Trump Jamat in episode 6!
Summon the Boost Striker Buffer Mode with the sound of a cow mooing! Includes attack sound effects along with the sound of a bell!

What kind of additional sound effects will be played in the Keiwa mode and Neon mode? Get this product and find out for yourself!

And the Boost Raise Buckle is a deadly trump card that will fly away somewhere after being used once!
This even includes the sound of the Boost Raise Buckle flying off on its own after battle!
It's designed so that you'll definitely want to ring it after using a boost time special move!
 

Packed with the stories of these four characters, the Memorial Boost Raise Buckle is sure to provide plenty of emotion and play value!

Now let's briefly introduce some other memorial buckles!
[Memorial Zombie Raise Buckle]
 
It's obvious at a glance! The image has changed completely due to the change in molding color.

When developing these memorial buckles, we checked the actual props used in the film for all five buckles and adjusted the colors accordingly.
There are several types of props, but we have chosen the ones that appear most frequently in the film.
Once you get the product in your hands and compare it to the DX version, I'm sure you'll be amazed at the difference, so stay tuned!

[Memorial Ninja Rays Buckle]
 
As you can see, the gears are painted metallic pink to match the prop!
The specifications have been changed with particular attention paid to even the internal parts.

And when it comes to Kagekazu, he is best known for his performance with the Tycoon Bujin Sword from the middle of the story onwards!

  
As stated on the official website, of course the cast voices used when using the Bujin Sword Buckle are also included!

[Memorial Beat Raise Buckle]
 
This one is painted metallic blue!
When the sample arrived, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!!" It is that luxurious!
 
This also includes voice acting for Fantasy Form!
