BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

The Reiwa era has begun.
And "KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE"!!
It was really, really, really, really fun! (Taro with a collapsed vocabulary)
This might be my favorite first episode of all the Rider series...!
Another exciting year is about to begin. Yay!

Hello everyone.
I'm Funasen, the creepy guy who walks around the toy section on weekends and smirks as he watches kids playing with the test belts. |M0)

The release date of the show's start items, including the "DX HIDEN ZERO-ONE DRIVER" and "DX Aims Shot Riser," is the most exciting and fun day of the year.
I have also read many of your comments online.

In addition to that, the shipping date for the "CSM BLAYBACKLE" is approaching this year, and we have been seeing a lot of feedback on this.
The best part of this job is seeing the customers' excited voices when they receive their products.
Your feedback can sometimes give us ideas for future products, so searching for feedback is also an important part of our job.
​We would especially like to ask everyone who purchases a CSM BLAYBACKLE to please participate in our product survey!
electronic manual included with the product contains a link to the survey.
We look forward to hearing your opinions and feedback.

Well, today, Monday, September 2nd, is the deadline for reservations for "CSM Amazons Driver"!

Today we will introduce further product specifications and make our final appeal.

① Contains only the transformation explosion sound!
As for Alpha and Omega, in the final episode of the first season, the transformation sound didn't even include the "O-Me-Ga" sound, and only an explosion sound was played.
The final episode of the first season was very memorable, and personally it's my favorite episode of all the Amazons episodes.
In short, it is composed of a "super shortened transformation sound," but it is a transformation scene that is filled with emotion that is different from such a simple concept, and the cry of "Amazon!" is also very memorable, so we have recorded that voice as well, and will therefore include this transformation sound as the "Season 1 final episode ver."

② Includes the sound of the final transformation in the movie!
The simultaneous transformation at the end of the movie was also a wonderful and memorable scene.
In this transformation scene, the "transformation sound" itself was not clearly depicted in the cut composition, but a special sound effect was added when the grip was twisted, causing the bloodshot eyes to glow. We will record the transformation sound incorporating this sound, calling it the "movie version."

3. Includes two types of transformation cancellation sounds!
Did you know that there are actually two different sounds for canceling the transformation?
The scene of detransformation was only depicted a few times in the movie, but there were two different sounds for "the sound of detransformation when the belt is physically removed" and "the sound of detransformation when the transformation is deactivated by one's own will/thought while the belt is still fastened."
I watched the video several times and suddenly realized something the other day, so I will include both.
Specifically, the sound of physically removing the belt was changed to a sound that combines the sound of releasing it willfully with the sound of the core part of the DX Amazons Driver being removed.

The above is the specific audio power-up part.

Today we also have some photos of the factory test shots of the Amazons Driver.
What I'd like to say is that this is a piece that allows you to get a feel for the volume of the die-cast.



Of all the past CSM products, "Gattack Zecter" and "Hopper Zecter (including die-cast buckles)" were the ones that used the most die-cast, but this new product uses die-cast that is about 3.5 times heavier than "Gattack Zecter".
This is the highest weight ever.
Die-cast was also used for the Neo Amazons Driver's injector, but only the front part; the back was made of plastic.
Both the front and back parts of this grip are die-cast, so it is quite heavy and has a cool, refreshing feel to the touch from both the front and back, which gives it a sense of material satisfaction.
When you receive the product and take it out of the styrofoam, the first thing you'll say will probably be, "It's heavy!!!"

So that was the final announcement.
Thank you!

That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be next week on Monday, September 9th.

Well then!
