BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone. This is Funasen, the CSM representative.

Today's blog brings you an update on the specifications of "CSM KABUTOZECTER ver. 1.5"!



1. Includes the sounds of the Zecter flying and being caught!
When using KABUTOZECTER alone, pressing the "3" of the "1, 2, 3" buttons on the side will play the "KABUTOZECTER flying sound." If you press "1, 2, or 3" while the flying sound is playing, the "Zecter catching sound" will play. This was added to recreate the transformation sequence.

② With the Masked Form transformation sound, you can recreate the transformation pattern where the sound plays even before the Zecter is attached!
A feature seen in the early to middle parts of the story where the "beginning of the DX Masked Form transformation sound" starts playing before KABUTOZECTER is set into the buckle, can now be recreated using the side buttons as shown above!
Of the "1, 2, 3" buttons on the side, pressing "1" will play this voice.
If you put it on your belt immediately after ringing it, the transformation sound will change to one that starts with the sound "Click ⇒ HENSHIN", which is different from the transformation sound shown in the promotional video.
When "1" is not pressed, the transformation sound will be the one that includes the opening sound of the "DX Masked Form transformation sound."

Also, in the second half of the show, before setting up the Zecter, a "start-up sound" was heard and it was put on the belt.
This sound can be played by pressing "2".

3) The standby sound for the Rider Kick has been changed to play the moment the horns are retracted!
This has been revised to more accurately recreate the sequence in the film, so that the sound of the special move being ready to go will play the moment the horns are fully retracted.

4. The sound of the transformation being released is also reproduced from the movie!
The sound of the transformation being released in the movie also included the sound of KABUTOZECTER flying away.
This time, we've added the sound to make it closer to the image in the show. Also, if you press "3" after transforming and then put the horn back, instead of "put on," the sound that plays to cancel the transformation in the final episode (the sound of putting the horn back to cancel the transformation) will play.
In the transformed state, in DX and the old CSM, the "1, 2, 3" sounds are played in the same order for each button, but this time, the "1" sound is assigned only to the "1" button, so that unless this button is pressed, the number sounds will not be played when the "2" and "3" buttons are pressed, allowing you to select the variations shown above.

⑤The paint job on the center of KABUTOZECTER will be changed!
I checked this again because I had received a lot of comments about it.
Other than the dirty paint, the basic structure hadn't changed much from "ver.1", but the color around the central light-emitting point definitely differed depending on the scene.
Ver.1 was created with reference to a close-up photo book, and looking at the close-up photos again, the area around the light-emitting parts was painted gunmetal.
If this is correct then it is correct, but when I rewatched the programme, in the transformation scenes and close-ups of the belt being operated, the gunmetal paint was not used, but rather it was clear black.
Since the special features showed this gunmetal in large photographs, I believe this was the strong impression that was created when it was developed, but looking around the special features, KABUTOZECTER 's design was quite flat in places where Kabuto was shown sideways, so I realized that this gunmetal painted version was for action use.
So, with the aim of recreating KABUTOZECTER with its gimmick, I decided to stop using the gunmetal paint and change it to a paint job that leaves a clear black finish.
We do not yet have a paint sample available for this, so we will update the photos on the reservation page as soon as we have them.


We will also be introducing KABUTOZECTER ver. 1.5 packaging today!

Here is the surface



This is the pose that walks the path of heaven and controls everything. (The same as the one on the reservation page.)

The back side is masked foam.




Also, today we will be introducing the packaging for the "CSM Birth Driver & X Unit" which we were not able to post earlier!
It has already been printed, so it will look something like this:







On the front is Birth showing off his cell medal!
When you remove the cover, the Birth X appears prominently on the inside.
The back side shows the birthday in birthday mode.


Next, here is the standalone version!





On the surface is Bath holding the Bath Buster!
The back side is Birthday, just like the set version.

Please wait a little longer for the email regarding the delivery date of the "CSM Birth Driver & X Unit."
Due to a delay in the departure of the transport ship, we are adjusting the schedule.


Starting this weekend on Friday, December 23rd, the movie "KAMEN RIDER GEATS x Revise: Movie Battle Royale" will be released!
​It has been decided that the rider who appears in the series, KAMEN RIDER Seeker, will be made into a Revolve Change figure!



The product name is "PB03 KAMEN RIDER Rider Seeker MOVIE Battle Royale Set"!
What is the set? Details will be announced soon, so please wait.
Stay tuned for more updates on "KAMEN RIDER Nago & KAMEN RIDER Punk Jack" in the future!


As for the theatrical version, movie tickets which come with a KIVAT BELT Raise Buckle are currently on sale exclusively at Loppi!



Buy a @Loppi movie ticket convenience store voucher with original goods exclusive to the movie theater and get a "DX KIVAT BELT Raise Buckle"!

This item will be available until Thursday, December 22nd, the day before the movie is released.
These items will no longer be available after December 23rd, so please take advantage of this opportunity.


Additionally, Geets is now accepting preorders for the "KAMEN RIDER Core ID Set" as a PREMIUM BANDAI limited item!



The set is made up almost entirely of fallen riders and even includes a cracked version, making it a highly maniacal product that I think would be perfect for PREMIUM BANDAI.
When you collect them, I think the unified circular format will create a cute and spectacular collection.
By combining it with the Raise Buckle, an even greater number of riders can be created, so why not transform into your own original (combined) rider and then create that rider with the Revolve Change figure?
Enjoy it with the following products!




Finally, the "HENSHIN BELT DX Vision Driver" has also startedthe second round of reservations for !
The first batch sold out on the day, but this belt will have many uses in the future, so please look forward to future programs and wait for the shipment!



Today, let's see what would happen if we added a "Legend Rider Raise Buckle" to the Vision Driver.
We will introduce it in a video!
The central LED lights up in the "rider's face" design!
(There are limitations to how it will look due to the limited number of LEDs used, but the lighting captures the general characteristics.)
Please take a look below!

The "HENSHIN BELT DX Vision Driver" is currently accepting second-order orders.
