April Purchase (2) - KO DX Titan Sword ( Kamen Rider Kuuga ) 2nd Purchase

A surprise find while casual walking around the neighbourhood after brunch today... At a small toy kiosk... The KO DX Titan Sword from Kamen Rider Kuuga series!!! Costs SGD10.90, it came packaged with 2 KO KR figurines... This is the 2nd time I am buying a KO of this toy, and the colours are more different this time compared to the 1st purchase... In addition to a orange transparent jewel cap on the sword hilt, the extendable blade now comes in 1 whole piece cast in orange transparent plastic, and the stickers are missing... The blade still can be pressed in and extended out with the push of a button at the handle... Lots of plastic edges not trimmed, but still, I think it is a very good KO...


A close up view of the sword and figurines (which I throw away after a minute of te-dombing)...


The back of the packaging... Hilarious heads!!!!! Hahahahaha....

April Purchase (1) - DX Trailer Cannon, DX Drive Driver (2nd Buy)

Long time did not purchase... Sadly 65Daigou now refuse to 代购 toy guns anymore, including the DX Door Gun and DX ToQ Blaster, which don't resemble any real firearms at all... sigh... anyway, decided to go to CSC to see if got any good buys for my little nephew...

DX Trailer Cannon
Got it at $85, after a $5 discount from the stall owner, thank you thank you! Very heavy, and not sure if my little nephew will like it or handle it well, as it is quite heavy... anyway, quite a good piece of toy...


And de-tombed... Aiyoh, 1 shift car only... but hey, it is the (currently) most powerful shift car!!! Hahahaha.... Fortunately it has car-reading function, so not too bad...



DX Drive Driver (2nd Buy)
And bought for the 2nd time, the DX Drive Driver!!! For myself!!! Because very cheap!!! At only $60, after a $5 discount again!!! Hahahaha.... Actually the fact is I ask the stall owner if he can give me a lower price if I buy both the DX Trailer Cannon and DX Drive Driver... Got a total of $10 discount, happy... hahahaha... But frankly, am quite surprised with the dipping price of the DX Drive Driver, which utilizes more technology as compared to most of the previous KR henshin belts... Anyway, is a good (and sensible) thing... OK, need to find a red belt to replace the short plastic straps!!!


And de-tombed... Wah, now I got 2 Max Flare shift cars... Nevermind, I probably will mod the candy toy one into Formula... and maybe I can mod the Type Speed shift car into an adjustable mode car!!!!!! Hahahaha... possible, possible...


And because this is the "1st Edition" (???) version, it comes with a special Gambaride card... Probably will stick some barcode on it to let the DX Diendriver to read the card... maybe a 'Final Attack Ride' ???


Also got a free KR Chalice Head display... thank you!!!

Update : Kamen Rider V3 Double Typhoon Belt - Single Switch Activation

Updated my previous Kamen Rider V3 - Double Typhoon Belt modification with a DPDT switch... Also took the chance to do some minor adjustments like position of the fan blade, rotation direction to be opposite, etc... Actually at this point I thought of re-modding my Kamen Rider Ichigo's Typhoon Belt using the speaker output to activate the motor, so that I need not switch off, but later decided against it as I prefer to keep the fan blades rotating at a constant speed... and thus also lazily repeated the same concept over to Double Typhoon Belt too... hahahahaha....


Also need to cut a small piece of ABS to cover the gap previously used by the sound IC activation switch...


I also made a new battery cover as I had lost the original one previously...


Looks good!!!


And done... Happy...


And it now proudly displays with the rest of the belts...



And here's the demo clip of the mod...
