BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone. I am in charge of KAMEN RIDER toy development.

 


Today, June 30th (Monday) from 12:00​
"PREMIUM DX Raging Sword"
"PREMIUM DX Memorial Command Twin Buckle"
Reservations are now being accepted!

Reservations usually start at 4pm, but this time it's 12pm.
It has already started!!

So, as a developer and as a Geets fan, I am very happy to be able to deliver new Geets products again!

Looking back, when we announced the four memorial buckles (Magnum & Boost, Ninja, Zombie, and Beat) at the end of August 2023, we never imagined that Geets would still be releasing new products about two years later.

However, the first four and all subsequent Geets products have been well received, so we are now happy to announce a new product.
Thank you very much for your enthusiastic support!!
In response to this, the two new products will be delivered with packed specifications.

First, please check out the product details on the reservation page and BANDAI official YouTube channel "Banmani!"
Just looking at these two will give you almost perfect understanding!!

So, in this blog, I will be sharing more details and behind-the-scenes stories.

"PREMIUM DX Raging Sword"



①Super huge size

It looks this impressive even when held by an adult male.

You can get a sense of how gigantic this is when you compare it to the DX version, but when you compare it to other products...

It is comparable to the previous giant weapon series! It is super huge!

As you can see, it's about the same length as the CSM Faiz Edge.
While BUJIN and Faiz Edge have thin blades, the Raging Sword has a wide design that gives it an incredible sense of volume.
I guarantee you'll find yourself smiling when you pick it up.

 
And the command buckle can be properly loaded.
By the way, the Memorial Command Buckle and PREMIUM DX Raging Sword do not have infrared communication.
This is because the same gimmick as the DX version, "when the buckle is loaded, a button on the sword is physically pressed and connected," is sufficient to recreate the scenes from the movie.
Therefore, both DX and Memorial can be loaded into this Raging Sword without any problems.

Now, this "buckle loading" feature is a very important point.
"The size of the buckle loading part remains the same as DX"
"But the blade and handle will be longer."

In order to achieve both of these goals, we went through a process of trial and error when determining the length and size.

If the blade or handle is too long, it will be too unbalanced for the buckle loading part, which has a fixed size.
However, if the blade and handle are too short, it will become increasingly closer to the DX size.

Therefore, we designed several patterns with different lengths and thicknesses and checked them in actual size, and then decided to commercialize the one with the best balance.
Please look forward to the day when you can swing this giant sword around in your hands (while being mindful of your surroundings).

​②Super bright with 10 LEDs

I definitely recommend you check out "Banmani!", it really shines!!
The DX version shone beautifully even with only two lights, but this time, due to the longer blade, the number of lights has been increased fivefold to 10!!

 
And speaking of the same 10 lights, it brings to mind the Oja Calibur Memorial Edition.
(The price is actually the same, 20,000 yen (excluding tax))
As those who own one know, it emits a wonderful light.
BANDAI is currently in the midst of developing this type of "light-up" product based on its predecessors' technology.

We plan to make adjustments so that the mass-produced product will shine even more beautifully than the prototypes shown on the reservation page and in "Banmani!", so please look forward to it!!

3. Rich audio

Of particular note is the "Raging Sword flying sound."​
It's a nifty weapon that, when transformed into Raging Form, will fly out of nowhere and blow away any nearby jamats, but the length of the sound it makes flying through the weapon varies quite a bit depending on the scene.

I was wondering which ones to include, but at this stage I'm planning to include two types.
A: Short = the standard sound that is played by pressing a button once.
B: Long = The sound of an enemy flying will continue to play on a loop while the button is pressed.
*The alarm will stop automatically after a certain amount of time has passed.
This B is designed to be very fun to play with.
When Buffer transformed into Raging Form for the first time in a while in episode 42, his sword flew around in the air for quite a long time.
I got the idea from that,
・Those who want to arrive at Sword as soon as possible
Play with "A".

・Those who want to fly to the sword for a long time
Play with "B". Stop holding the button at any time and let it arrive at your hand.

It is expected that this division of space will accommodate the play styles of the majority of people.

Grab the sword at any time and pull it towards you, and enjoy NARIKIRI playing game!
So, not only is it big, it's also super shiny!! The sound is great!! So it has plenty of play value.
We hope you will make a reservation!!

"PREMIUM DX Memorial Command Twin Buckle"

This is the biggest selling point here.
​Both left and right buckles are equipped with audio units!

Both are equipped with audio units, for a very simple reason.
・Orange jet buckle
A sound unit is required to play the additional sound effect "Transform!!" when transforming into a single Raging Form.

・Light blue cannon buckle
The DX version was equipped with a voice unit, so it will continue to be equipped.
New sound effects from the film, such as cannon fire and flying sounds, are also included.

By the way, we are not currently planning on having voice communication between the two buckles, so operation is surprisingly simple.

 
Now, the jet buckle didn't make any sound in DX, but this time it makes a loud noise.
In particular, all character voices related to Raging/Command Form are included here.

30 types may not seem like a lot, but when you consider how many times Raging/Command Forms appear, it covers most of the most memorable lines of dialogue during battle.

So, both the sword and the buckle have a ton of upgrade points!!
Be sure to get both and have fun slashing and charging yourself with the Raging Sword, jumping like in the Command Form, and more!

Well then!
