At long last, Mister Dangerous has finally arrived on stage!

A full scan of the recently-uncovered Kamen Rider Drive merchandise catalog is now online! Translation of this material provides several key insights into the upcoming new series- but still, ALL Kamen Rider Drive details are UNCONFIRMED BY OFFICIAL SOURCES AT THIS TIME. That being said, here’s what the catalog has to offer:
*The collectible gimmick for this season is Shift Cars -small vehicles that interact with the Drive Driver to unlock new powers. Apparently Drive has at least three combat Types- Speed Type, Wild Type and Technical Type. Future Shift Car releases may lead to even more fighting Types.
*Kamen Rider Drive’s main weapons are the Handle Sword (literally a steering wheel with a sword attached; turning the wheel charges the sword’s power) and the Door Gun (a handheld blaster; slamming the door reloads the gun).
*The scans also offer a brief look at a different character, presumably Drive’s rival- Machin Chaser! This character uses a different weapon- the Brake Gunner but his combat Types remain unknown.
Despite everything we have learned from this new merchandise catalog, we still have no real look at Kamen Rider Drive himself! We can only hope this changes in the near future, and until then we ask you join in our ongoing Discussion Thread to share your thoughts on the 16th Hesei-Era merchandise line!

We may at last have our first look at the merchandise relating to Kamen Rider Drive! Keep in mind all details relating to these images are currently unconfirmed.
Some new catalog images have provided us an early look at the DX Drive Driver– the transformation device for the 16th Hesei-era Kamen Rider. In addition, Drive will be armed with another device known as the Shift Bracelet -which seems very similar to the ToQ Changer. The exact powers & effects of both devices remains unknown at this time.
In addition the catalogs contain an image of the red car previously seen in reported behind-the-scenes photographs. Now at last we have a name for Kamen Rider Drive’s vehicle- Trideron!
Still missing, sadly, is an image of Kamen Rider Drive himself. With these details now online the official reveal of this new series may be upon us very soon, so stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Drive news!

In addition to once again showing the mysterious red car from previous leaks, a new figure in a matching red suit was briefly seen fighting an enemy creature. The leaked suit does appear to match well with the vehicle in question, and would also match up with some rough concept descriptions from early speculations about the series.
