Faiz Gear Box ( Suitcase with Customizable Foam ) Kamen Rider Faiz 555

 Bought the largest one from the Taobao seller, and it can barely fit in all my DX Faiz Gear including the attachments. Will probably get a few more for my other belts as the third party CSM beltstraps cannot be used with the drivers to hang on the wall like the old thinner belts... 

Seiken Swordriver Set 80cm Seiken 聖剣 Kamen Rider Saber series 仮面ライダーセイバー 聖刃

 Very large seiken!!!! This is the "predecessor" of the upcoming Japan release of the Seiken which they state as approximately 81cm (this version is stated as approximately 80cm). I measured this to be almost 81cm. The Japanese version will have paint for the blade (not sure if handle will have too), contains BGM and dialogues I think, but at a much higher price, about 2.5 to 3 times more.

The comparison with the Power Rangers Legacy Saba Sword and modified Gokai Saber..

Am waiting for the bootleg DX Seiken Swordrivers to arrive...

Henshin Belt ver.20th DX Den-O Belt and Climax Cellphone K-Taros / Keitaros

 Because I have the K-Taros / Keitaros Phone, so I bought the DX Den-O Belt. For nostalgic purpose. Those were the days when Kamen Rider toys are still selling in Singapore's major departmental stores and such, and the frequent sales that had the items at a incredible low price. That was when I bought this K-Taros / Keitaros Phone at SGD5 only.

 

DX Zikan Girade and DX Saikyo Girade Kamen Rider Zi-O Zi O Zio Series

 The full names are DX Character Conversion Gun-Sword Zikan Girade (字換銃剣 ジカンギレード) and DX Time Crown King Sword Saikyo Girade (時冠王剣 サイキョーギレード).  Very mouthful.
I bought the DX Saikyo Girade for my nephew earlier, and also gotten 1 for myself thinking that I can soft of combine the features with my KO one. But realised that it will be too hard and damaging to both pieces. Also, the KO Zikan Girade is remolded, so it will not fit onto the DX Saikyo Girade.  So I bought the DX Zikan Girade. Luckily it is not so expensive now. Will likely put a switch to the big face.

 

Complete Deluxe Modification CDM - Faiz Gear and Faiz Axel ( Kamen Rider Faiz Series DX )

I think all are the Korean version... Gotten this a long time ago, and recently decided to change the belt-strap using a (couple of) 3rd Party CSM Zero-One Driver belt-strap. Yes, have to cut and join extra length of another belt-strap as my waist too fat. Luckily superglue can be used, and most gaps filled up with bits from cutting the belt-strap. 

With that in mind, I also decided to put some paint onto the remaining DX Faiz Gear that I have to make them look more closer to show or the CSM version. Not easy, considering the rubbery plastics cannot be painted, and the black acrylic paint also peels super easily off the plastic surfaces. But finally done, not perfect, but close enough for me.

Have since ordered a big suitcase to put in the huge Faiz Driver...

*** EDIT: I had forgotten to take pictures of the DX Faiz Axel's touch up with silver paint for the "screws" on the watch, which the CSM version has.

Thought of a lot of ways to attach the beltstrap, including removable methods... in the end have to settle for the usual fixed type... Used cable-ties to secure the belt-strap to the original belt-strap parts, after drilling 2 small holes on each of the part...

Next, I painted the detailing lines and areas black with acrylic paint and a super small nail brush... Tough...  

Also sprayed the phone collector part to silver at the exterior sides, similar to the CSM version...

Assembling the pieces together... Looks good...

Continue to paint the DX Faiz Phone's Mission Memory, and also painted the antenna to silver except for a hole on the face of tip... 

Looks good....

Proceeded to touch up for the DX Faiz Pointer... The front chromed part is a replacement from a recently bought one, as the old one was terribly defaced after spraying it with chrome silver paint...

For the side buckles, I made a U shape piece to "clip" onto each side buckle. The velcro straps are taken from the spare 3rd Party CSM Belt-straps ... 

Red paper covered with strips of transparent sticky tape is attached to the "pipes" area using double-sided tape. Did not last long, am going to try to use the Daiso plastic (contact) glue tomorrow to try to stick them securely... Hope it works... 

End results look not bad!!! The CSM Faiz Gear is way too expensive, so this set will make a good stand-in...

Next modification will likely be doing either the form-light-colour modification for the Arcle Belt, or start on the Typhoon Belt Project...

Bootleg DX Double Driver ( Version 6 ) ( Kamen Rider Double W ) Knockoff KO

 Cost RMB 88, excluding local and international shipping... This is the latest bootleg version 6 of the Kamen Rider Double / W 's DX Double Driver. Summary of this bootleg as follow:
(1) Plastic used for the Driver is a bit softer.
(2) Plastic used for the strap is super soft/flexible. Good for long term use, but they don't join together that well
(3) Gold tips on both driver units and Silver tips on both Gaia Memories
(4) Finally has correct and more toy-accurate Cyclone and Joker Memories in terms of appearance and sounds (though is fake-interactions with the Driver and Maximum Slot). Memories are almost like the enhanced shokugan (candy toy) versions of Gaia Memories.
(5) Unpainted light box at bottom of Driver seem to make the different colour lights appear opposite.
(6) Same as previous versions, this bootleg also excludes the pins to activate the DX Memories' henshin sound and Maximum Drive sounds. Have since added a piece on the Maximum Slot to restore this function, see blog picture.

A very nice bootleg. And I probably will replace the belt strap with the 3rd party CSM Decadriver Beltstrap. Or maybe not.

COMPLETEly-not SELECTION MODIFICATION Henshi Belt ARCLE ( Kamen Rider Kuuga ) - Phase 1

 Just for fun....

Opps, forget to remove the white velcro pieces at the back of the main piece... Because my fat tummy cannot wear the Legend Henshin Arcle Belt, I decided to get a 3rd-party CSM beltstrap to attach to this Arcle Belt, and tried a LOT of different ways of attaching before finalizing on this method... Phase 1 of this modification also includes painting up the front and sides to look more show accurate. However, things went very wrong while spraying lacquer, as my bottle of lacquer spray had become too concentrated and damaged the sprayed-silver side buckles; stupidly painted PVA glue over the resprayed side-buckles to realised that it makes acrylic painting (on the ancient words and Kuuga logo) extremely difficult and ugly... anyway, have ordered another Arcle Belt to redo the side buckles, hopefully this time will turn out better... 

 

Phase 2 will be the adding of the various colour lights to shine through the main window cover for Kuuga's various forms... May take some time as I had not yet bought the LEDs and such, and also mainly because still working on the DX-turn-CSM Faiz Gear...
