It’s been a very long time since Bandai Japan first spoke on a potential CSM Genesis Driver, the belt used by a number of characters in the Kamen Rider Gaim series.  And after a couple of years, Bandai Japan is finally ready to showcase and open pre-orders.  Today, they did a Kamen Rider Gaim CSM Genesis Driver announcement, revealing three different item releases.

  • CSM Genesis Driver
  • CSM Genesis Driver Buckle Edition
  • CSM Energy Lock Seed Set

More details will be released on October 6th (October 5th in the US).  The previous CSM Kamen Rider Gaim items were released in the United States but we don’t have any information from Team Kamen Rider on whether or not this item will also see release in the United States.

Stay tuned for more info!

The second Lock Seed/Accessory set for the CSM Kamen Rider Gaim series is here – Team Baron!  The details have also been shared as we get our first official look at the redesigned Energy Lock Seeds.  Of note is the inclusion of the “Power Down” sound effect in the Energy Lock Seeds which was included in the original DX toys but was incredibly difficult to get to activate.

The set includes:

  • Banana Lock Seed
  • Mango Lock Seed
  • Walnut Lock Seed
  • Maron Energy Lock Seed
  • Matsubokkuri Energy Lock Seed
  • Baron Face Plate
  • Black Baron / Proto Baron Face Plate
  • Blank Face Plate (Knuckle ver.)

The designer blog of this set mentions that while the blank face plate is virtually the same as included int he Project Ark version, this one specifically is for Kamen Rider Knuckle and will have sound effects for his Rider whereas the one in Project Ark is designed for the Kurokage Trooper and will have different sound effects.  Check out the designer blog here.

This set is scheduled for release July 2021.

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.

The hits from Premium Bandai just keep coming tonight! We have one more item to our list of reveals: with a new web page featuring  the DX Messiah Lock Seed and Savior Arrow Set.

Both items belong to Kamen Rider Savior, the villain of the Gaim Gaiden Duke and Knuckle V-Cineama. The Savior Arrow is a black repaint of the Sonic Arrow, so this will provide late comers the perfect opportunity to experience the toy if they’ve missed out the first time around. The DX Messiah Lock Seed itself is a red redeco of the Sukia Lock Seed with a new interior sticker featuring the Savior Arrow.

Preorders for this set will be made avalaible August 7th 2015 and will close on September 10th with a final shipping date of sometime in November 2015. The DX Messiah Lock Seed and Savior Arrow set retails for 5,616 yen before middleman fees.

“YOMOTSUHEGURI ARMS, MEI KAI YOMI YOMI YOMI!” The latest Premium Bandai release happens to be one of the most sinister items from Kamen Rider Gaim, one that could pretty much kill its user from overuse. That’s right, this is the video for the Yomotsuheguri Lock Seed! With the cosmetic appearance of a gold and red Budou Lock Seed, this new release contains completely different sounds.

Making its first appearance in Episode 42 of the series, this mysterious gold and red Lock Seed was promised to give its user enough power to crush Kamen Rider Gaim. Even though they were told that the risk of using it for too long could lead to it draining their life force, the user still decided to use it, enabling them to take on the form of Ryugen-Yomi Yomotsuheguri Arms. With the in-show ability to summon the weapons of the Overlords, it served to be a counterpart to Gaim’s own Kiwami Arms.

The Lock Seed itself features the standard Squash, Au Lait and Sparking finisher sounds, but also features the phrases spoken by its user! This Lock Seed also comes with the Ryugen-Yomi Rider Indicator faceplate that you can attach to your Sengoku Driver! The set itself was released just recently as a Premium Bandai item, for the price of 2160 yen.

This two-pack contains the Fire Braver & Rolling Gravity Shift Cars set to appear in the December episodes of Drive. This set will be released on December 6th as well, for 1512 yen.

Two of the three mystery lock seeds in the big Premium Bandai Showa Rider Lock Seed set have been revealed through magazine scans.

We’ve known about Shadow Moon now for some time, but this new one might come as an unexpected shock to a few folks with a Seed to represent Shocker’s Great Leader. What’s more, the magazine scan previews the inside artwork for both Lock Seeds.

“BAKAMON! Haji o shiri nasai! NEVER GIVE UP!!!” Even though the series is over, Gaim continues to produce its merchandise through Premium Bandai. The latest release from this past weekend, is the Premium Bandai Gashapon Lockseed Donguri (Oren Voice Version) and Darkness Lockseed set.

The Donguri (Oren Voice Version) Lockseed, otherwise known to some as the Fake Donguri Lockseed, made its debut in Episode 17, bringing some comedy relief to a serious situation in that episode. Created by Oren Pierre Alfonzo, otherwise known as Kamen Rider Bravo, the Lockseed was used by his protégé, Hideyasu Jonouchi, otherwise known as Kamen Rider Gridon.

The Darkness Lockseed set consists of the Dark Orange and Dark Lemon Energy Lockseeds. These two Lockseeds make their debut in Gaim’s Summer movie, “Great Soccer Battle! Golden Fruits Cup!” used by the brainwashed Kouta Kazuraba, aka the titular Kamen Rider Gaim, to transform into the evil Gaim-Yami.

Note that this set is a Gashapon style set, meaning they lack the LED and springloaded action that DX Lockseeds do, and that they need to have their back button repeatedly hit to make the sounds. Though this set was released this past weekend, another batch of it was up for preorder up until September 17th, with an expected release date for that batch being November 2014.

Bandai isn’t done with Kamen Rider Gaim quite yet! It seems we’ll still be getting Lock Seeds well into Drive’s Premiere!

The Rider Lock Seeds will be continuing, featuring characters from Ichigo to J. There’s currently no word on when these new Seeds will be coming out, but the Showa lock Seed from the Movie Taisen set should give you an idea of what to expect.
