BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone. This is Funasen.

Without further ado, here's the announcement!
It has been decided that the "CSM Genesis Core" will be released as a single item!!

In a previous blog post I said that we would be considering this internally, and now that all approvals have been given we plan to open up reservations at some point next week.
As I wrote in my blog at the time, the production quantity of this product is expected to be quite small based on the pre-order quantity of "CSM SENGOKU DRIVER Project Arc Edition", so please be aware that there are many factors that will make it more expensive, such as packaging costs. (The price is currently being adjusted.)

If you have any comments, please consider purchasing!
We have decided to sell it separately this time, with the intention of it serving as a test case for future sales methods.
I don't think there are many other series that are more complicated than the Gaim series, but I hope that when commercializing Heisei 2nd period Rider items other than Gaim, this will serve as a reference for sales methods for special bridge items.


Now, let's continue with the specifications of SENGOKU DRIVER!
In my previous blog, I mentioned that pressing the sound effect buttons before transformation produces the "belt removal sound effect" and "belt fastening sound," but this time I'll be looking at the sound effect buttons after transformation (when a Lock Seed is equipped).

Pressing the sound effect button will produce the following sounds.
In addition, for some characters, the sound flow will change if you press and hold the sound effect button. (Gaim, Baron, Ryugen, Zangetsu)

① After transformation, you can activate the Watermelon Lockseed mode change sound by pressing the sound effect button!!
When you press the sound effect button while wearing the main Armored Rider's faceplate, the mode change sounds (Armor Mode, Gyro Mode, Big Ball Mode) in Suika Arms state will play in order!
In the DX version, this sound was included as the button sound for the Watermelon Lockseed when used alone.
However, when I tried to play NARIKIRI, I couldn't press that button!!!
Even if I wanted to change modes after transforming, I couldn't.
Since there is no button on the Lockseed to activate it when it is worn, I decided to simply put it on the belt.
So you can make it ring even if you have something other than the Watermelon Lockseed equipped, but we recommend that you don't press it and just play with it after you obtain the Watermelon Lockseed.

② When the Gaim, Baron, or Ryugen faceplates are attached, lines from the "Woman of the Beginning" will be played for each of them!
To give the feeling that these three characters are truly immersed in the role, the lines of "The Woman of the Beginning" are played as a separate flow of sound effects buttons.
The dialogue that each character speaks changes.
In addition to the very opening line, "Be careful. You are about to choose your destiny," several lines from the end of the game are also included.
We are also planning to add the BGM "Time of Nothingness" (currently being adjusted).

③ What's more, when you wear the Ryugen faceplate, you can press the sound effect button to hear "Takato's Auditory Hallucination"!
After killing Takato, Mitch is plagued by auditory hallucinations in which Takato blames him.
This auditory hallucination can be heard by pressing the sound effect button only when in Ryugen state.
However, these lines will not play on Zangetsu's faceplate.
Since these are not Takato's real lines, they have been assigned to Ryugen as a voice that only Mitch can hear.
