2017 marks the year of the Hoppers, not only are they getting redesigned Figuarts for the premium ShinkocchouSeihou line, but they’re also getting a brand new roleplay belt with Premium Bandai having just launched the official pre order page for the Complete Selection Modification Hopper Zecter!
With pre orders for this piece already having begun, the Complete Selection Modification Hopper Zecter will retail for 12,960 yen with a release date of July 2017.
Announced only days ago, Premium Bandai has just updated their order page for the Complete Selection Modification New Den-O Belt with official images and release info!
The CSM New Den-O Belt is the first Den-O related entry in this high end replica line in over 8 years. And it looks like they pulled out all the stops for this one. Not only can this belt be used for New Den-O’s standard Strike Form, but it can also assume Vega Form! Strike Form brings with it a wealth of voice clips from New Den-O’s Imagin, Teddy. While the briefly used Vega Form mode brings voice clips of Deneb from when he possessed New Den-O in the Decade crossover film. In all, this belt includes more than 50 sounds & voice clips! New Den-O’s Belt also includes his Rider Pass, Teddy’s Rider Ticket, & a blank New Den-O Ticket.
The CSM New Den-O Belt retails for 14,040 yen and will be released as a Premium Bandai exclusive in May 2017.
And the next CSM release has been officially announced! If you can’t tell from my initial excitement, this one is very near and dear to me in particular. Up next for Premium Bandai’s exclusive high end role play line is the Complete Selection Modification New Den-O Belt! The original CSM Den-O Belt was actually released way back in 2008. So it’s taken quite a long time for Kotaro/New Den-O to finally receive his.
In the near future Premium Bandai will be updating their website with more information on this exciting release. We’ll be sure to to keep you up to date when they do!
The first episode of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has premiered and the hype is beginning to build across the fan community. Many fans are “feeling” the idea and premise behind this new series and many of us (including your’s truly) are now going back and placing orders for various merchandise.
One such item that is something of a collectible for Kamen Rider fans over the years is this year’s belt henshin device – aptly named the Gamer Driver. Unlike previous years, this year’s version has no electronics in it – instead all the electronics are in the collectible Gashats that you insert in to the driver.
But don’t let us tell you that – check out our buddy Long’s Toys and his review of the Gamer Driver in the video below! Be sure to Like the video and Subscribe to his channel!

As it’s become a yearly tradition with a new Rider series and toyline, Premium Bandai unveiled this year’s holiday themed Roleplay toy: the DX Christmas Eyecon.
Two options are avalaible for purchase: you can buy the Eyecon on it’s own or get a bigger package which includes the DX Ghost Driver, a special Kamen Rider Ghost card for the Ganbarizing game, both will have a Christmas cake and the topper which includes a motorized figurine.
The set which including the Ghost Driver will run you 13,190 yen while the Eyecon on it’s own can be bought for 4,104 yen before middleman fees (do note that international shipping laws may prohibit the cake from being shipped overseas). Either way, both sets will see release in December just in time for the holidays.
CHANGE..STAG BEETLE!
For those that might still be on the fence about getting the forthcoming CSM Gatack and Hyper Zecters, Premium Bandai just released a promotional video demoing these products. And as is tradition with Premium Bandai teasers, the video of course has a special guest: Actor Yuuki Sato whom portrayed Arata Kagami AKA Kamen Rider Gattack in Kamen Rider Kabuto.
