BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

At last... it's finally here! September 13th, 2017!!!
Hello everyone, this is Funasen, in charge of CSM development.


Pre-orders for "CSM Kaixa Gear" start today!
For details on the Ultimate Kaixa Gear, which is packed with all the gimmicks you need to transform into MASKED RIDER KAIZA and Masato Kusaka, please click on the banner below!




What do you think? This time too, we have developed a product with an extremely packed set of specifications. We hope that it will exceed everyone's expectations...!
It's been a year since the release of CSM Faiz Gear. We've taken into consideration the feedback we've received from everyone, and have incorporated as much of the perspective we've gained from the past year of CSM development, as well as our own personal desires, as much as possible.

Once again, in this blog we will be explaining some of the finer details that cannot be fully conveyed on the reservation page.
As this is the first session, I would like to give a general overview.


As for Kaixa Gear, as previously announced, it will be released as Contents includes all items including the Kaixa Blaygun! This is CSM's first large-scale weapon. Its total length of about 87cm is so big that it's almost laughable even when held in an adult's hand.
It is slightly smaller than the prop size, but I think the size ratio between the hand and the Braygun when holding it while wearing the rider's suit is at a level that returns it to the size of a real human, so I think it will feel like the real size when you hold it.
The blade parts of the Blaygun can now finally be detached, and with the included holder, it can be attached to the waist as gear! Although it wasn't mentioned on the reservation page, the cocking lever can be moved, allowing you to recreate the "Kaiser Slash" sequence from the movie!


Not only is the size of the Braygun huge, but the Kaixa Gear is made to conform to the size of the Faiz Gear, so everything else is huge too! The Kaixa Pointer has also been enlarged to a size where the CSM standard Mission Memory can be inserted.
Of course, the phone has also grown to a size that fits into the buckle, but it's not just the size. The functions of this Kaisa Phone are just amazing! The basic functions are based on the functions of the Faiz Phone, but we have added functions that allow you to experience the production of the program even more. That's the NEW point that appears as you read through the reservation page.


This time, we have added a "transformation cancellation sound" and a "ringtone sound." This is a feature that many of you have requested, and it really does add to the sense of realism. The ringtone is a song that strongly evokes the era of 2003, and it brings back memories. After the "transformation cancellation sound," a random "error sound" followed by an "ashing sound" will play! We believe that this is a fun system that succinctly expresses the essence of the Kaixa Driver, the cursed belt.
For everyone who has purchased the item, please try transforming it the first time and see if you can detransform it properly. If it turns into sand... it means you are not compatible (laughs).

And when you answer the phone after the "ringtone sound" has been played, you can hear the voices of Keitaro and Mari calling you, making you feel like you've really become Kusaka! What's more, the photos are all new and exclusive to Mizorogi-san and Haga-san!
Some people may be surprised that I recorded it just for a few lines, but yes, I did it. I think that there is a big difference in the feeling of "NARIKIRI" with or without this. This is a one-time chance, so I'll do my best! I'm pushing forward with all my momentum.
Of course, it would be a waste to have only these lines, so we had the two of them record some more lines related to Kaixa. You can listen to them by entering the number keys. In the movie version, Keitaro also transforms into Kaixa...


And speaking of lines, we have included a large number of lines sung by none other than the man himself, Kohei Murakami,​ ​for Masato Kusaka! What's more, Murakami himself personally chose the lines, so the game is full of famous lines with his approval!!
It's safe to say that this film includes almost all of Masato Kusaka's distinctive lines, from those sarcastic and insincere lines to those cool lines.
I believe the reason why Masato Kusaka is still loved today is because of the combination of his strong character, his lines, and the charm of Murakami-san who performed them. The soul of that character resides in this Kaisaphone.
The recording was fun and thorough. The behind-the-scenes story of the recording is mentioned in a special interview with Murakami. Please check it out.




Murakami also appeared in the product promotional video!

I personally think it's a really fun video, so be sure to check it out!
It has a strange feel, almost like a TV shopping show, but I think it gives you an idea of the size of the product.
I took this photo in the hot midsummer heat wearing a long coat reminiscent of Paradise Lost. Thank you so much!



In addition, three BGM tracks are included! Each one will give you a more realistic feel as NARIKIRI Kaixa.
"EGO~eyes glazing over" can be combined with Kusaka's dialogue playback function to recreate the famous night scene! Try playing the super cool intro and becoming the angry Kusaka Masato.



Kaixa Gear, which includes all of these functions and three weapon items, is priced at 48,600 yen (tax included), which may seem expensive if you just look at the price, but we are confident that it has specs that are worth that price.
Delivery is scheduled for March, which is longer than the usual CSM delivery span, so we hope you will save up your Kaisa over the next six months while waiting for it to arrive.

We look forward to your reservations!!!



By the way, just like Faiz, we have also started accepting orders for the "CSM Kaixa Driver" in addition to the "CSM Kaixa Gear".
Although this is a product aimed at people who can't afford weapons, as the person in charge, I would really like people to enjoy the comprehensive gameplay, including the wireless connectivity, with all the gear included.



That's all for today.
The next update will be on Tuesday, September 19th, as Monday is a holiday.
From next time onwards, we will be posting multiple blog posts picking out each item and explaining them in detail. Please look forward to it!
