With the passing of the current rider series Kamen Rider Gaim, also comes the change over of the mass retail toyline. Though this is the first time in many years that the new toyline will have a pretty high standard to live up to. After this years Arms Change line it’s time for Kamen Rider Drive to step up to the plate with it’s Tire Koukan line! Koukan meaning to exchange.
So the inaugural release for this new mass retail line is TK-01 Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed! Type Speed is Drive’s default form in the series utilizing his standard Type Speed Wheel. Also included with this figure is the Max Flare Wheel. The gimmick of this line is the ability to split the figure in half across the diagonal from the shoulder to the waist, and swap out the wheels. It also appears these wheels can be attached to the hubs of each wheel on the DX Trideron vehicle!
Join in on the discussion of this figure in our ongoing Drive Toy Thread!
I hope it's not wrong of me to be making this thread but noticed there wasn't any discussion for Drive stuff yet here and considering a lot of candy toy stuff went up on Amiami recently for preorder it's about time we got this car moving!
So far here is what we know is coming out:
http://www.taghobby.com/1-0/1-3/band...5%86%E5%93%81/
*The DX Shift Car Holder- an add-on piece to hold 3 more Shift Cars- will also be released October 2nd and will come with the DX Funky Spike Shift Car. This set will cost 2400 Yen.
*Rounding out the October 2nd releases is TK 01, the first gimmick-based action figure for this new series. 01 features Drive’s Type Speed suit and will cost 3200 Yen.
*Mid-October will see the release of DX Trideron, Drives’ personal vehicle (presumably) compatible with the action figure series. Trideron will be sold with the DX Midnight Shadow Shift Car and is priced at 6800 Yen.
And stickied. This thread is going to be my home for the next year
Okay, that belt is really starting to look good. Much better than Gaim's Sengoku driver that's for sure... yeah, I went there.
I still think the sengoku driver looks silly as balls but the gimmick was absolutely fantastic, I'm thinking the reverse this year haha. But I do like that the belt is an actual character so the DX belt might be full of character phrases.
Just noticed the seatbelt buckle on the driver. How clever. I love this stuff , can't wait to hear all the fun sounds.
For now all I plan to get is that one figure we saw a while back.
I am really hoping i love the show as much as i love the look of everything. I also really hope that since Akibaranger got a giant transforming in scale car , that we will get a SHF Trideron ( did i spell that right? )
I can pretty much book all my 2015 spending money towards SHF Drive stuff and Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy. I can only hope that i don't like next years Sentai
....am I the only one that thinks the belt looks like a Bayformer?
And hopefully the gimmick line is at least half as good as Gaim's.
