BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Updated on 7/26 (Fri): We have updated the description of the "PREMIUM DX Magnum Shooter 40X"

Hello everyone! I'm in charge of KAMEN RIDER toy development.

Starting at 4pm today, May 27th, pre-orders will begin for three products: "PREMIUM DX Magnum Shooter 40X," "DX Zero Three Pro Rise Key & Zero Three Driver Unit," and "DX Hyper Immortal Gashat & Maximum Zombie Gashat"!
Have you all checked it yet?

Today we will introduce these three products!

PREMIUM DX Magnum Shooter 40X
First up is the super large "PREMIUM DX Magnum Shooter 40X"!

①More than 1.5 times the size of the DX version! The size has been increased to an astonishing total length of approximately 61cm!
The PREMIUM DX Magnum Shooter 40X is approximately 61cm long in rifle mode and weighs approximately 830g, giving it a heavy feel. By the way, the DX version is approximately 38cm long and weighs approximately 340g in the same mode. The overwhelming scale is obvious when you line them up, which is its greatest appeal.
In addition, two barrel parts, one large and one small, are included to recreate the rotation and size seen in the movie. And since the design has been recreated to match the movie, it cannot be loaded into the Raise Buckle Holder, but the shape has been carefully crafted to compensate.
When combined with the Memorial Magnum Raise Buckle or Memorial Boost Raise Buckle, also from the PREMIUM DX series, you're sure to enjoy the truly realistic presence and texture.


② Equipped with two modes: in-movie mode and dialogue mode! Includes various sound effects and cast voices used during the movie.
In this product, two new modes have been added in addition to the normal mode, so that you can enjoy the game by immersing yourself in the role of Hidetoshi and the other Design Gras participants.

1. In-game mode
Use the buttons to select Geets' battle shout mode or Buffa's punch mode, etc.
When you pull the trigger, you can hear the gunfire sound effects for each mode.
*There are two modes in the movie: "Buffa's punching mode" and "Dappan's shooting mode."
Geetz's battle cries have been moved to a more appropriate "dialogue mode" that plays when you pull the trigger.
By playing Geets' battle cries along with his lines, the experience is closer to that of the film.

② Dialogue mode
By pulling the hammer, you can play lines in order.
Starting with that scene in episode 48, special sound effects will be played when certain lines are played and gunfire or special moves are activated.

If you want to become Geets, Buffa, or Dappan and recreate battle scenes from the show, play ①. If you want to enjoy the voices of scenes like that one in episode 48, play ②.

We also added a feature to the normal mode, which is almost identical to the DX version, that allows you to hear continuous gunfire when you hold down the trigger. In the DX version, the only way to fire continuously was to repeatedly press the trigger, and rifle mode did not allow you to fire continuously to begin with, but by making the gunfire sound continue while you are holding the trigger and letting out a reverberating sound when you release it, we have made it possible to fire both single shots and continuous shots.
* Considering that in the movie, the rifle mode did not fire continuously, to be more faithful to the movie, we have equipped the handgun mode with a continuous fire feature only.

In addition to the existing sound core ID and PREMIUM DX series voices, this time we have also recorded new voices such as Geets' catchphrase "Since I'm here, your fortunes are terrible!" from "KAMEN RIDER REVICE Battle Familia", the movie where Geets first appeared! We hope you will enjoy the memories of the year with Geets through the PREMIUM DX Magnum Shooter 40X.

③Other specifications
This product was developed based on the big-sized Magnum Shooter 40X released in China. For this reason, it was difficult to make large-scale changes, and although it is called "PREMIUM DX", it could not be linked or loaded with the Raise Buckle series. However, even though only the Magnum Raise Buckle was linked in the movie, we felt that the Magnum Shooter 40X, which does not have linkage, was too much. Therefore, we modified some parts of the part where the Raise Buckle is set (hop-up assembly) from the Chinese version to make it into a button, and if you press it against a large buckle such as a Magnum Raise Buckle or a Boost Raise Buckle in a loading style, you can simulate linkage.

 
Another big change from the DX and Chinese versions is the white molding color! The DX and Chinese versions used a bluish white, but this time it is a bright off-white that is closer to the prop color. In addition, the only part painted red in the DX version was the hammer, but this time it is all metallic red, and the muzzle is painted silver to match the prop.

This concludes our introduction to the PREMIUM DX Magnum Shooter 40X, which comes with a ton of power-ups!


DX Zero Three Pro Rise Key & Zero Three Driver Unit
Next up, we'll introduce you to the Outsiders 2 products!
First up is the DX Zero Three Pro Rise Key and Zero Three Driver Unit!

This is an item used by KAMEN RIDER Zero Three to transform, who first appeared in the spin-off" KAMEN RIDER Outsiders ep.5: The Goddess of Genesis and the Third Singularity," which began streaming on Toei special effects Fan Club (TTFC) on May 12th.

Some of you may already have it,
This product has some unique features compared to the "DX Zero-Two Progrise Key & Zero-Two Driver Unit" that was released when KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE was broadcast, so I would like to explain the details in more detail from now on.

Now, let's get to the main points of this product!

①Reproduce the "power to print everything"
This product recreates KAMEN RIDER Zero Three's "power to print everything," which is impressively depicted in the film, even in toy form.
After transforming, pressing the Progrise Key once will activate the sound "○○ Big Bang."
The "○○" part in this case is designed to play four different sounds; "Life on," "Blade on," "Arrow on," and "Bullet on." This makes it possible to recreate scenes from the movie such as reviving Dan Kuroto or making weapons appear.
Normally, these four sounds will play in sequence each time you press the Progrise Key, but you can also press and hold the Progrise Key button to play only the sound of your choice.
So for example, when in "Blade On" mode, no matter how many times you press the Progrise Key once, it will not move on to the next sound, and you will be able to hear "Blade On Big Bang."


②Mode switching function
Unlike the "DX Zero Two Progrise Key & Zero Two Driver Unit," the new "DX Zero Three Progrise Key & Zero Three Driver Unit" is equipped with a mode switching function.
The specific modes are as follows:

■ Normal mode
Similar to the "DX Zero-Two Progrise Key & Zero-Two Driver Unit," the transformation sounds will play when the Progrise Key is set.
The key point here is that the transformation sound is a long, full transformation sound.
You can transform using the long transformation sound that wasn't played in the movie due to time constraints.
The sound of the transformation goes, "One: One prediction Two: Two intelligence Three: Three Circles Go! Beyond! one two three KAMEN RIDER Zero Three Is there arc?"
Some of you may have noticed that the final words "Is there arc?" are a reference to "Is there arc," and also to the three circles, or arcs, that are a distinctive feature of the Zero Three Driver's design, making this the transformation sound with a hidden meaning.

■ Movie reenactment mode
The other mode is the "movie reenactment mode."
In normal mode, you can switch modes by pressing and holding the button on a single Progrise Key, and in that state, you can hear lines from some of the characters in the movie by pressing the button on the Progrise Key.
Even after transformation (when the Progrise Key is inserted into the driver), the button on the Progrise Key can be pressed, allowing you to hear KAMEN RIDER Zero Three's lines from the movie.
​In addition, when in this scene-recreating mode, the transformation sounds that are activated are shortened versions of the sounds that are heard in the movie, allowing for more realistic NARIKIRI playing fun.


3. Includes the voice of KAMEN RIDER Zero Three!
As mentioned in the explanation of mode switching, this time we have included the voice of KAMEN RIDER Zero Three.
Newly recorded, distinctive voices in unison for KAMEN RIDER Zero-Two (played by Noa Tsurushima) and KAMEN RIDER Ark-Zero (played by Shou Hayami) have been included, and the same character voices can be heard in the toy.
In addition, the character voices involved in KAMEN RIDER Zero Three's transformation include:
It also includes the character voices of KAMEN RIDER Rider Zero Two, "Let's fly. To even greater heights," and KAMEN RIDER Ark-Zero, "You and me. Hehehe... interesting."


What did you think.
As we explained, the specifications of the toys have also evolved from the Zero-One Driver and Zero-Two Driver to the Zero-Three Driver.

Additionally, the "SUPER BEST DX HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER" and "SUPER BEST DX Zero-Two Progrise Key & Zero-Two Driver Unit" are scheduled to be released in stores on June 15th.
We have recently redesigned the product packaging, which now looks very cool, so we hope you will come and check it out in stores.

"I want a Zero Three item, but I don't have a Zero One Driver!"
If you purchase the "SUPER BEST DX HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER", which will be available in stores in June, you will also be able to play with the DX Zero Three Progrise Key and Zero Three Driver Unit, so we hope you will also check out the "SUPER BEST DX HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER" and the "SUPER BEST DX Zero Two Progrise Key and Zero Two Driver Unit".


DX Hyper Immortal Gashat & Maximum Zombie Gashat
Next up, the DX Hyper Immortal Gashat and Maximum Zombie Gashat!

The item used by KAMEN RIDER" KAMEN RIDER Outsiders ep.5 The Goddess of Genesis and the Third Singularity," which was also released on May 12th on Toei special effects Fan Club (TTFC).
This set includes the Hyper Immortal Gashat and the Maximum Zombie Gashat.

We would like to introduce the key points of this product!

1. Includes the character voice of Dan Kuroto (played by Iwanaga Tetsuya)!
As always, new audio for Outsiders includes recordings of Dan Kuroto's voice.
This item is a set of two types of Gashats, and each item contains a different character voice for Dan Kuroto.
By pressing the button on each Gashat, you can hear the character's voice.
This will be a very welcome item for fans of Dan Kuroto.


②The transformation sound of Maximum Zombie Gamer, who does not appear in the film, is also included!
By using the "Maximum Zombie Gashat" included in this set,
It is also possible to transform into "KAMEN RIDER Rider Genm Maximum Zombie Gamer", a form not depicted in the film.
By inserting the Maximum Zombie Gashat into the DX GAMER DRIVER and pressing the button, the sound of the transformation into "KAMEN RIDER Genm Maximum Zombie Gamer" will play.
Please note that the graphic in the center of the belt is different from that of the Maximum Mighty X Gashat, and is instead a Maximum Zombie Gamer graphic.


③Appearance
This Gashat is based on the previously released "DX Hyper Muteki Gashat" and "DX Maximum Mighty X Gashat", with some parts having been modified.
The only difference in shape is the button part of the "Maximum Zombie Gashat", which has the design of KAMEN RIDER Genm Zombie Gamer.
Although these are minor changes, we hope you will enjoy the differences from the DX Maximum Mighty X Gashat.
The other graphics and stickers will also be new designs, so be sure to check them out when you receive your item.

*The image is a sample image of a prototype. It may differ slightly from the actual product.

KAMEN RIDER Genm has evolved further into KAMEN RIDER Genm Hyper Immortal Gamer.
This is a very fun item for fans of KAMEN RIDER Genm and Dan Kuroto, so be sure to check it out.

That's all for this blog.
Well then!
