BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone. This is Funasen, the CSM representative.

I haven't had time to write a blog so I haven't updated it in a while.
So, I know this is a little late, but

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the start of the broadcast of "KAMEN RIDER V3", it has been decided to commercialize the "HENSHIN BELT Double TYPHOON"!



It will be quite some time before orders start and deliveries begin, but please look forward to it!
I'm hoping that we can develop this into something like a 50th anniversary series, but first I'd like to make sure that Double TYPHOON is a good one.

Additionally, although in limited quantities, we are also taking orders for a limited resale of the "CSM HENSHIN BELT TYPHOON KAMEN RIDER 50th Anniversary Memorial Set" while supplies last!
If you weren't able to get it at the time, please check it out here.




Today we will be introducing the evolutionary changes in the design of the "CSM Faiz Gear & Faiz Accel ver.2"!
We will be introducing some areas that are not shown on the reservation page.
At first glance it doesn't look like much has changed, but when you change the angle it looks different.

- Changed the design of the socket for the Faizphone



The former is ver.1 and the latter is ver.2. (The image is of a prototype, so it is gray.)
The socket on Ver.1 is cut at a right angle, but on Ver.2 it has a shape that reproduces the shape of the prop.
Ver.1 and the original DX were designed with the former design, but this was to prevent the socket from hitting the pin sticking out of the buckle when it was folded down to press the switch that is pressed to transform with the Faiz Phone.
This time, we have made holes in the areas that interfere with the pin part to reproduce the shape.
The former is ver.1 and the latter is ver.2. (It may be a little hard to understand.)




● Changed the design of the side buckle



I noticed this after I started taking orders, thanks for pointing it out.
The side buckles also differed from the prop in ver.1, so we changed the design.
The actual product will differ from the photo on the order page as shown in the image above.


● Belt can be removed







Along with the initial report on the "CSM Faiz Gearbox," we also mentioned that the belt can be removed.
As shown in the image above, it is designed to be removed by moving the lock knob on the back.
This is the same method as the belt removal gimmick for the CSM DOUBLE DRIVER ver.1.5.


● Changed the design of the bottom of the buckle



The former is ver. 1, and the latter is ver. 2. In fact, the protrusion on the bottom was biased towards the front only on the prop.
With Ver.1, due to the construction of the mold, the protruding design ended up being extended, but this time we made subtle changes to the division method, which allowed us to reproduce the shape of the prop.
There aren't many scenes in the movie where the bottom is shown, but it actually looked like this, so it's a more realistic reproduction of the real thing.


That's a rough outline of the major changes to the design.
Also, the second sale of Faiz Gear is about to run out of stock, so if you want to get it by September, please consider purchasing again.
The driver has broken, so I am considering buying a third one.




Next up, we'd like to introduce the "DX KAMEN RIDER Sound Core ID Set 01" and "DX KAMEN RIDER Sound Core ID Set 02", which are now available for order!
Below, the product developers introduce the product's selling points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In the main story of "KAMEN RIDER GEATS," the "Core ID," which is the identity of each rider, appears more powerful than ever!
As the name "DX KAMEN RIDER Sound Core ID Set" suggests, when you press the switch, the character's voice will sound! This is a special core ID set product!

The "DX KAMEN RIDER Sound Core ID Set 01" includes the "KAMEN RIDER GEATS Sound Core ID" and" KAMEN RIDER Tycoon Sound Core ID", while the "DX KAMEN RIDER Sound Core ID Set 02" includes the "KAMEN RIDER Buffer Sound Core ID" and" KAMEN RIDER Nago Sound Core ID".



and,
KAMEN RIDER GEATS Soundcore ID includes KAMEN RIDER GEATS /Ukiyo Hidetoshi
KAMEN RIDER Tycoon Soundcore ID includes KAMEN RIDER Tycoon/Kagekazu Sakurai
KAMEN RIDER Nago Sound Core ID is KAMEN RIDER Nago/Kurama Neon
KAMEN RIDER Buffer Sound Core ID is KAMEN RIDER Buffer/Azuma Michinaga
It features over 10 different character voices, making it a great collection item as well as a great way to NARIKIRI play as the four characters!

In addition, the Sound Core ID can be loaded into the DX DISIRE DRIVER Sold separately)!
Even after loading, you can play character voices by pressing the Sound Core ID switch.

Pressing the switch briefly will play a character's voice, and pressing and holding it will play the "Transform!" voice.
The "Transform!" voice can be played at any time you like, so you can easily enjoy pretending to be each character by connecting the "Transform!" voice before or after your favorite lines, or by combining it with the Sold separately DX DISIRE DRIVER or Raise Buckle to play the "NARIKIRI!" voice!



*Items other than Contents are Sold separately.
*There are some raise buckles that cannot be installed on DX DISIRE DRIVER equipped with a Sound Core ID.

This is such an appealing soundcore ID, but that's not all this time...!
Each set comes with two desire cards!
"DX KAMEN RIDER Sound Core ID Set 01" comes with Desired Cards of Hidetoshi and Kagekazu, while "DX KAMEN RIDER Sound Core ID Set 02" comes with Desired Cards of Michinaga and Nene!



The Desire Cards which described each character's "ideal world" were also impressive in the main story!
Now, these Desire Cards are available in a specification that is just like the real thing! Not only the thickness and size of the cards, but also the texture is reproduced to be close to that in the movie!
*Images are under development.
*The image may differ slightly from the actual product.

The surface of the card is embossed, giving it a slightly rough, high-quality texture.
Furthermore, the "DGP" logo shines with gold foil stamping, giving it a luxurious finish!
This Desire Card looks great just as a display item, but it's also fun to play NARIKIRI with the voice that comes from the Sound Core ID!

 


This concludes the explanation of "DX KAMEN RIDER Sound Core ID Set 01" and "DX KAMEN RIDER Sound Core ID Set 02"!
This is an item that can be enjoyed on its own or combined with other items you already own, so I hope you will pick it up and enjoy it!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Additionally, PREMIUM BANDAI has started accepting pre-orders for the latest Revolve Change figure, "PB04 Revolve Change Figure KAMEN RIDER GEATS Magnum Boost (Heavy Paint Ver.) & Fever Form Parts Set"!
This is a fantastic product that can be combined with the retail version you own to recreate the Fever Form, and it also comes with a ton of paint, so if you already have the retail version, you should definitely get this one, and even if you don't, it's a great introductory product to the series!
We appreciate your continued support.



That's all for today's blog.
The next update is scheduled for Thursday, March 9th.
Well then.
