BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone. This is Funasen.

Thank you very much to everyone who pre-ordered the CSM KIVAT BELT and Tatsulot.
We will continue to manufacture carefully to ensure delivery.

Also, starting this week on February 13th, PREMIUM BANDAI first pre-order shipment of "CSM DOUBLE DRIVER ver.1.5" will begin.
If you have made a reservation, enjoy yourself!


Well, there is no new information about CSM today!
So, we would like to introduce you to some new Zero One products.

KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE Metal Cluster Hopper appeared in yesterday's episode of Zero-One.
While it stood motionless, its changing body surface automatically attacked and defended. It was an amazing piece of action never before seen in special effects, and it gave off a sense of otherness and strength. I was glued to the screen. Me too.

All Metal Cluster Hopper Related products will be released this weekend on Saturday, February 15th.
Please see the overview below, and we will post photos of product samples below.

"DX METALCLUSTER HOPPER PROGRISEKEY"!!



The design is of a giant, long grasshopper. The Shining Hopper also had a key design that imitated a grasshopper, but this one is twice as long.

Like the Shining Hopper, the key part is designed with a plated finish using a technique called "hot stamping."​
When the key is unfolded, the inside of the grasshopper is revealed, just like previous keys, but this time, the eyes of the mechanical grasshopper contain LEDs that light up as shown in the photo below.



The transformation sequence also took a little more effort,



① Touch to authorize as before. The transformation standby sound will be played.
② When you insert the key, after the sound "Progress!" a second transformation standby sound will start to play from the key side.

and,



Break the key to transform! After the signal "Metal Rise!", the Metal Cluster Hopper transformation sound will play and the transformation will be complete.
The end of the key is engraved with countless tiny grasshopper designs, which are hot stamped.
Just like in the episode aired yesterday, the design makes it clear that the giant grasshopper is made up of countless grasshoppers.


Next up is the "RKF KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE Metal Cluster Hopper"!!



This time, it comes with two weapons, the "Attache Calibur" and the new "Progrise Hopper Blade", making it a high play value product.
The two can also be combined, allowing for many ways to enjoy them, such as dual wielding or combined weapons as shown in the image above.

The Progrise Hopper Blade is yet to be revealed, but the DX toy will be featured in next week's blog.







Can you see it? The sinister aura emanating from this figure! The locusts!



Release your pent up frustration with figures!
Good luck Hiden! Defeat ZAIA!

In addition, two types of Legend Rider Progrise Keys will be released on Saturday, February 15th!

There are two types: "DX Gogogo Going Ghost Progrise Key" and "DX Tire Changing Drive Progrise Key".
Let's feel the Heisei era with the Reiwa belt.


Finally, the "DX Zetsumerise Key Set 2", which was currently accepting pre-orders on PREMIUM BANDAI, will close the reservation window the day after tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12th.


In recent broadcasts, the Magia have reappeared as "Arc Magia."
Although they are not wearing belts, the prototypes are of course those of past Magia who transformed with the Zetsumerise Key, and this key set is an essential part of playing with them as they transform.
Thank you.

That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be on Monday, February 17th.

See you next time.
