BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone! This is Funasen.

Ex-Aid is so funny! Did you all watch the broadcast yesterday?
Paradox Level 99 was super cool!
In fact, it has been decided that Paradox's level 50 belt buckle, the "DX Paradox Buckle", will be commercialized!
Although it is not CSM, Funasen is also in charge of development. So, please allow me to advertise it a little.



The selling point of this game is that you can hear a lot of "energy item" sounds, and you can play them in succession at will!
Each time you press the L button, the sound of an energy item will play in turn, but if you hold down the button, the "energy item acquisition sound" will play after the sound of the energy item.
When this sounds, the item has been recorded.
If you keep holding down the L button after the acquisition sound has finished, the acquisition sound will continue to play, meaning that you will have recorded the same item repeatedly.

After that, by pressing the R button, all of the recorded audio will be played at once. At the beginning of the burst, you will hear the sound of an energy item moving through the air, followed by the sound of acquiring energy items, one after the other, for each energy item you recorded.
After that, the sounds of each energy item will be played in the order they were recorded.
I recommend moving your hands up, down, left and right in time with the sound of the movements, as this will make you feel more immersed in the action.

By the way, the planned limit for the number of consecutive records is 16.
(Because there are 16 energy item sounds.)
So, you can achieve your dream of building muscle 16 times!​
The gameplay is similar to the great person summoning game in "Icon Driver G."

And! Not only energy item audio, but also a lot of Parado's audio is included.
If you press the R button when no energy items are being recorded, Parado's lines will be played in order.
The lines chosen are some of the most memorable from episode 1 through to episode 30, which will air next week.

By the way, if you think that the lines "Max Transformation" and those from the drama that aired yesterday are meaningless because you become GAMER DRIVER once you reach level 99, then you're wrong!



??? "No, this is how you use this buckle."

As you can see, the buckle is sized to fit in an adult's hand, so while wearing GAMER DRIVER, you can operate the Paradox Buckle and hear the sound of "Max Transformation!"
As mentioned in yesterday's broadcast, Level 99 also uses a combination of energy items when unleashing the special move of the "Gashakon Parablaygun (on sale now!!!)", so we encourage you to combine the "GAMER DRIVER", "Gashat Gear Dual", "Gashakon Parablaygun" and "Paradox Buckle" to experience the perfect NARIKIRI-playing experience as KAMEN RIDER Paradox!

We will be able to deliver this to you all in September, which is a little late, but in fact this product was not originally planned to be commercialized.
However, due to the overwhelming response to the Ex-Aid DX series, we decided to release it immediately!
In other words, it's all thanks to your support! Thank you so much!

This concludes the introduction to the Paradox Buckle!



Well, this is the CSM blog.
We will also be explaining new information about the specifications of the "Hopper Zecter," which is currently accepting pre-orders.

In addition to appearance and sound functions, another important element of a toy is the "feel" that can only be understood by touching it.
The CSM Hopper Zecter has also evolved in this area.

This is the DX Hopper Zecter.



The red lines indicate the position where you will feel a "click" when moving the Hopper Zecter's foot lever.
(At BANDAI, we call this clicking "overcoming." That's exactly what it sounds like.)
There are two times: when you start to lift your leg and when you have fully lifted it.
There is free space between these two points, allowing the lever to move smoothly.

Meanwhile, this is the CSM Hopper Zecter.



The number of red lines has increased to four. Two "oversteps" have been added in the middle.
What this allows is that when Kick Hopper unleashes his special move in episode 35 of "MASKED RIDER KABUTO," he can now recreate the movements that follow: 1) "Lift the lever with your left hand" and 2) "Move the lever with your right hand!"
Even without this movement, you can still feel the resistance when moving the lever, and the die-cast parts add to the sense of solidity!

That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be on Monday, May 8th.
I had planned to go into more detail about the audio specifications of the Neo Amazons Driver today, but the article ended up being longer than I expected, so I will explain it in detail next week! (Sorry to everyone who was expecting it!)

See you next time!
