Ultraman Toy Blog vol.52 Blazar Brace 24 Secrets / Part 1 Revealed! This is Blazar Brace!
My name is Nno, and I'm in charge of planning and developing Ultraman toys.
Well, the day has finally come! Information about this year's new Ultraman has finally been released.
・Unique design never seen before
・A production with a clearly different atmosphere than before
・A transformation item that seems to be glowing brightly
・A really cool monster robot
I think there are many people who are overwhelmed by the amount of information that is of interest to them...
No matter how you look at it, there's something different about this one. It's giving off a really funny aura, right?
...But rest assured, the Blazer will definitely exceed your expectations!!!
In order to maximize the appeal of this work, which is full of so much appeal,
We hope you'll get a feel for BANDAI 's seriousness through the introduction of the items that were released today!
Equipped with seven full-color LEDs and a motor, it creates a transformation animation with a rotating orbit of light.
"Lightning Transformation DX Blazar Brace"
A "mystical crystal" that can bring out infinite possibilities when linked with the bracelet.
"Blazar Stone Series"
Pushing the boundaries of robot toys with ultimate movement, sound and light
"DX Earth Garon"
Both products were developed with the aim of creating new play value, in consultation with Tsuburaya Productions and Director Taguchi Kiyotaka, the main director of "Ultraman Blazar."
Personally, this is an item that I'm very attached to, and I've used all of my experience to create an surprise that surpasses my previous work on Trigger, so I really want as many people as possible to get their hands on it!
So, today we will be featuring the first transformation item we want to introduce, the Lightning Transformation DX Blazar Brace!
There are so many features I would like to talk about with regard to this product that I would like to introduce various topics in a serialized format entitled "24 Secrets of Blazar Brace."
We hope you will look forward to finding out what each element in the headings refers to.
In this first episode, we will pick up and review the basic gameplay information!
The 24 Secrets of Blazar Brace <1/24: Blazer Transformation>
Let's start by showing you how to play with Blazar Stone (transformation stone) that comes with the product.
The "DX Blazar Brace" is the first "brace-type" transformation item since Taiga Spark, and is worn on the left arm.
The red and blue lines running across the body, which looks like it was carved out of a meteorite, are really eye-catching.
On the red side of the main body, there is a slot for setting Blazar Stone.
The opposite blue side houses buttons for various operations.
The other item used for transformation is the "Blazar Stone."
It is a mysterious design with a clear cover over an exterior that literally has a texture like "mineral."
The inside is decorated with a relief of Ultraman 's profile, with a foil-stamped holographic pattern on top that sparkles beautifully!
We'll provide more details about each item later, but let's get started by setting these stones into the bracelet!
Put the brace on your arm and load Blazar Stone into the left slot.
The moment you set the stone, the bracelet itself transforms instantly!
The crystal cover on the top opens up and down with a bang!
A black surface suddenly appears in the center of the main body.
At that moment, I sensed something was going to happen...
Shiny!!!!!
from
moved!?!?!?
Yes! This is the "versalight gimmick" that is the greatest attraction of the DX Blazar Brace!!
The seven full-color LEDs rotate using a motor, and the afterglow of their rotation orbit allows them to express "light animation" that goes beyond simple lighting or blinking. This is a unique feature of the Versalight, an ultra-high-spec electronic gimmick that is unparalleled among all Ultraman toys.
Now, while this waiting sequence is looping, press the button on the far right to activate the transformation sound!
Responding to the majestic transformation melody, the light effects change one after another, and vivid animations unfold on the central vision.
This is the transformation into a Blazer! This is the DX Blazar Brace!!
The flashiness and smoothness of this animation, which cannot be fully conveyed through still images, can also be seen in the special PV for "DX Blazar Brace" that was released on YouTube today!Be sure to check it out along with this blog.
"The 24 Secrets of Blazar Brace" <2/24: Z Stone>
Well, it's too early to be surprised!
The "DX Blazar Brace "Contents also comes with one more item! The "Z Stone (original)" is also included.
At first glance you might be wondering "Why is Z included?!", but the simplest reason for including it in the product is that "with the Z Stone, you will be able to instantly understand the fun and depth of the DX Blazar Brace."
Let us introduce it to you, focusing on its "fun" and "depth."
When you put the Z Stone into Blazar Brace, the same waiting sequence as before will start...
Or so I thought!!!
The standby sound melody will change to that of the "Z-Riser"!
And what's more, without a moment's pause...
The voice of Ultraman Z rings out, "Please chant my name! Ultraman Z!"
Next comes Haruki's" Ultraman Z!!!"
That's right, you can hear the voice casts of Zett and Haruki!
With your excitement building, press the transformation button!
UltramanZ original transformation sound starts...
A special animation reminiscent of Z's appearance scene (the so-called "Gun Gun Cut") will play along with the music!!
Going through the cyber-themed production...
It seems to be rising little by little from the center of a dazzling vortex of light...
A mark or a letter?
...Ah! What is this!!!
It's the "Z" mark!!
This is the transformation into Zett! This is the "DX Blazar Brace"!!
What do you think.
Just replace Blazar Stone with a Z Stone.
① "Standby sound" ② "Transformation lines" ③ "Transformation sound" ④ "Light animation"
These four things! All of them! Completely! Change completely, and become a performance exclusive to Z!
(And there are still some audio tracks that we haven't introduced yet...)
We want you to experience the fun and wide range of play possibilities, so we've included a stone from "Ultraman Z," whose character image and voice are already well-known!
"The 24 Secrets of Blazar Brace" <3/24: Cast voices break through the limits!>
Now, I think that one of the things that will particularly appeal to all the Ultra Toy fans reading this blog is the "cast voices"...
In fact, Z Stone isn't the only one that has a transformation line like "Please chant together!" that we mentioned earlier.
Starting with Ultraman Zero, the series includes "Ultraman Ginga" and "Ultraman Decker".
The "DX Blazar Brace" features the voices of a total of 20 cast members, mainly from "New Generation Ultraman"!
It has specifications that are almost like a PREMIUM BANDAI limited item, but this time we're doing it with a transformation item that is available in general stores.
These sounds can be played back in conjunction with the "Blazar Stone Series" to be released in the future.
For example, when you set the "Zero Stone" included in Set 02, Zero's voice will say, "I have no limits!"
When you insert the "Taiga Stone", which will be released in the future, you will hear Hiroyuki's voice saying, "Hero of light, Taiga! Buddy go!!"
We will gradually reveal more details in future blogs, but for now we would like to introduce you to this super special version, which could only be made possible as New Generation Ultraman reaches its 10th anniversary!
"The Secret of Blazar Brace 24" <4/24: Gent's lines>
I'm sure you're already overwhelmed with all the information up to this point, but just one last thing.
The "DX Blazar Brace" has many features that relate to previous Ultraman, but of course it also contains plenty of features that involve the main "Blazer"!
One of these features is that Blazar Brace itself is equipped with lines from the main character of the game, Hilma Gent.
It's rare these days for a line from the main character of the latest series to be included in a toy that is released on the same day the series begins airing, but this is a special feature that is only possible with this series.
The basic lines that can be played by the product alone are mainly 7 lines that can be played by pressing a button,
By using stones that will be released in the future, it will be possible to create even more variations in the dialogue!
(In addition, the voice guidance when there is an error reading the stone is also in the voice of "Ghent.")
Finally
Well, I hope that the information up to this point has been conveyed to everyone,
With this "DX Blazar Brace," we seriously aimed to create a transformation item that can be enjoyed to the max.
When I was buying toys as a user, I was the type of person who would hesitate about whether or not to buy items from a new program, or would wait for reviews to see how it turned out.
But that's why I can say this with certainty.
The best way to enjoy the series is to get your hands on the "DX Blazar Brace" as soon as it starts airing, and then have fun playing it all year long from the first episode to the final episode while chatting with friends and on social media!!!
In the midst of the rising cost of manufacturing these days, this is a super high spec product, so it is a little pricey, but...
We are confident that anyone who has even the slightest bit of fanfare towards Ultraman series, or who has been intrigued by the teaser trailer and visuals for the new film, "Ultraman Blazar," will be completely satisfied with this!
We will be providing detailed information about the product's specifications on this blog and on Twitter until the product's release date, so please stay tuned and we hope you will pick up the product!
So that's it for the first update!
Next time we will introduce the other main item, "DX Earth Garon"!!
Look forward to it.
