The CSM Sengoku Driver, officially announced just a few weeks ago, already has the details of the next Lockseed set available.  Coming soon in 2021 is the CSM Lockseed Team Baron set.  The set includes the following Lockseeds:

  • Banana
  • Mango
  • Marron
  • Marron Energy
  • Matsubokkuri Energy

It also comes with the following faceplates:

  • Baron
  • Black/Proto Baron
  • Blank (which is what Knuckle used)

No release details or price have been set as of yet and, interesting as well, is the lack of the CSM Genesis Driver.  We know it is coming – Bandai has quietly announced it in blog posts – we just haven’t seen it yet.

Stay tuned Kamen Rider Gaim fans.  Things are just starting to get expensive.

Don’t say no – just live more!

One of the most successful lines (in terms of merchandise) for Kamen Rider in the last decade – Kamen Rider Gaim – is making the leap from DX toys to CSM and our wallets couldn’t be more afraid!  Before we begin – what is CSM?  It stands for Complete Selection Modification.  It is basically your DX toys on nerd-steroids to make them as identical to the show as possible and usually with a lot of added features as well.  Those nerd-steroids come with an increased price-tag making these items truly for the ultimate collector and not the casual passerby.

Announced and revealed today – the CSM Sengoku Driver. And while today’s announcement probably didn’t offer Kamen Rider Gaim fans everything they wanted in one shot it does offer quite a lot.  Let’s look at the details and digest them so we’re all on the same page.

CSM Sengoku Driver – Kamen Rider Gaim (March 2021)

  • CSM Sengoku Driver (silver belt)
  • Orange, Kachidoki, Kiwami Lock Seeds
  • Attachment piece for Kiwami/Kachidoki
  • Kamen Rider Gaim Faceplate
  • Lock Seed holder x2
  • Genesis Core
  • Yellow Belt
  • Silver  Belt
  • 35,200 yen

CSM Sengoku Driver – Project Ark (May 2021)

  • CSM Sengoku Driver
  • Blank Faceplate
  • Yellow or Silver Belt (different versions available)
  • 17,600 yen

The CSM Sengoku Driver will come with a large plethora of sound effects, voice clips, and background music from the show.  Thanks in part to an interview with the actors for Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Baron, we know that there are many theme songs from the show included in the CSM Sengoku Driver, including the fan-favorite “Ranbu Escalation” song.

Pre-orders begin later today in Japan.

Stay tuned for more details including information on a North American release via Bluefin Brands and Team Kamen Rider.
