Might as well start off the topic with the latest stuff so we have something to discuss. Kamen Rider SummonRide was announced and it'll be out at the end of the year. Drive is still silhouetted in the scans but the game will feature him. Since it includes tie-in merchandise I figured this topic might be better than The Starcade (a topic will eventually get started there once we get more info probably).

Scans under the tag.

So Japan just now picked up on the Skylanders craze?

 

So: Kamen Rider is cashing in on Skylanders and Disney Infinity? Interesting, Strange.. But interesting.

 

I wouldn't call it that strange. The only reasons I haven't wondered why they haven't done it sooner was because Skylanders wasn't Japanese in origin and that Japan really hasn't latched onto the idea yet - the idea itself seems to lend itself to the MO of how toku these days are pretty toy heavy, and it could aim at both collectors and kids alike if they do it well enough. I really do hope this becomes a running thing, so long as it doesn't interfere with their other game series (and the game itself doesn't suck) anyway.

On that note, made a thread for it in the Starcade last night if anyone's interested in talking about it further, since this is a video game thing and all.

On the note of Drive, do we know what the quality of the cars will be like? I know ToQ's trains are supposed to be nice to appeal to train fans - do you guys think/do we know if that will be the same here?

 

The Gashapon versions of the Shift Cars will have metallic paint and wheels that can move. They'll probably be made out of plastic or something. I wonder if the DX versions will be die cast like Hot Wheels.

 

Now that would be pretty neat. Those wouldn't interfere with the transformation device working though, would they?

 

I don't think die cast parts will affect the infrared connection or other parts of the Driver. I imagine they're also using a peg system similar to the ToQ Changer for the various Shift Cars.

 

Double posting but with news!

The Bandai site is open now: http://www.b-boys.jp/drive/

 

Just noticed, the clip for the driver's strap is a seat belt, lol.

 

yup. that seat belt belt

So, any Rider cars yet?

 

Only a TVM release so far.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_-In6AKdR4

 

this video confirmed the gimmick is a rehash of toqger, it has the same pin system as toqger on the bottom of the shift car.

 

I noticed that as well. Kinda glad that the electronics weren't in the cars, since that meant you would only need batteries for the belt and brace, unlike Lockseeds. I am not looking forward to the day I have to change those button batteries on all my Lockseeds and Gaia memories. On the other hand, this could also mean that all the sounds are already programmed into the belt and that new sounds will have to be added with the cars, like the Fourze driver.

 

Yeah

Yup it is definitely better without batteries.
On another note:
Has anyone found any DX merchandise selling out yet?

So far only hlj has a listing which is on order stop status.

 

Really? I mean, I can understand the pain of having to replace the batteries, but that aside, I really can't see how the gimmick items having their own electronics is worse than ones that don't really add anything to the toy.

I just don't like the feeling that I'm buying more toys to unlock the sounds of the toy that I already bought. Not to mention, unlike gimmicks which have their own electronics, they're pretty much locked into whatever they pre-programed onto the belt. No changes, no extras, no specials. Any new features will have to be put into a newer release like the Mobirates or the White Wizard Driver, necessitating the re-purchase of a new belt.
