2018 December Haul (3) - Gashapon Den-O Ridewatch, Dinosaur Box ( KO 52Toys BeastBOX DIO BB-01 )

Bought a Gashapon Den-O ridewatch for my little nephew...


... and 3 Dinosaur Box ( KO 52Toys BeastBOX DIO BB-01 ) for me and my little niece (pink one)... quite fun and joints are tight, but the sprues are not cut cleanly and can be quite sharp, need to trim...

DX Ninja Ichibantou - Blade and Handle Extension Modifications ( Shuriken Sentai Ninninger )

The DX Ninja Ichibantou has a pretty big shuriken attachement holder part but the blade is rather short. Hence I extended the blade with a toy sword blade. First open up the toy...


Made the inner core blade with ABS sheet and outer blade with a spare toy blade...



Painteds the outer blade with PVA glue and then sprayed with silver-chrome paint...


Assemblying of the blade...


And tested the functionality of the toy... Worked...


However, I accidentally made it too long proportion to the handle and thus have to extend the handle. And finally I stupidly extended the handle slightly too long as well.. sigh... nevermind, life goes on...


Hot-glue is used to attach the handle extension, and super glue the final cover onto the extension...


Final look fo the modified Ninja Ichibantou... Not a good mod as the PVA paint gives a rough texturewhen sprayed over, and the hot glue used to attach the outer blade to the inner core deforms the plastic... and the handle is too plain...



Decide to add only flame sticker to the handle extension, so printed out and used the Daiso soft laminate (the sticky side) to make a flame sticker... Somehow I cannot get the proper color nor tone... nevermind, tried my best already...

Alternate Replacement - "DX" Kimewaza Slot Holder ( Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Series )

As I had bought my DX Gamer Driver loose, it naturally did not come with a DX Kimewaza Slot Holder. This means half of the playability of the gashats are lost unless I press the activation buttons manually which is troublesome... Hence I removed the gashat slot holder from the DX Gashacon Sparrow and modify it to be a "DX" Kimewaza Slot Holder. It worked quite well, considering now I can activate the 'Critical Strike', and also the 'Critical Finish', and do both kimewaza attacks together!... The belt clip is taken from a spare DX Decadriver's driver holder.

First the gashat retainer part is trimmed to allow gashat to be removed without pressing release button...


Making the Kimewaza Press button...



Activating the gashat button...


Finsihed Kimewaza Slot Holder...



Clipped on the belt strap...

2018 December Haul (2) - DX Ninja Ichibantou ( Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Series )

Finally gotten the DX Ninja Ichibantou after numerous searches and attempts to buy it (at a reasonable price)!!! Very happy to get this and I want to modify the blade to a longer one but not sure if have time... anyway, this costs about SGD55 after all costs and fees included...

Complete DX Modification ( CDM ) - Dark Visor Zwei : Battery Frame and Card Placer Improvements

Made a 2 x AA battery frame to squeeze in the batteries instead of button cell type which are drained of electricity extremely fast. Volume is still a bit soft probably due to another speaker used.




Also made a magnetic retainer part to hold the card placer down to allow the card to press onto the sensing switches. No specifications on the sizes and such of the parts made as I did trial-and-error.



The tough part is aligning the circuit board accurately enough to be able to slot in card and to press the sensing switches down enough.

Complete DX Modification ( CDM ) - Dark Visor Zwei : Card Reading Function II

I transplanted DX Dragvisor Zwei's circuit board to the previously modified DX Dark Visor Zwei.  Though the new circuit board is smaller, it still has no space for large capacity batteries (i.e. non button cells type).  To make it worse, this circuit consumes current heavily and button cells especially the flat LR1130 cannot last long at all, despite supplying it now with a 4.5V supply instead of its original 3V... The sound volume is also super soft due to the button batteries type used... Anyway, am satisfied already... Too many other things on hand to worry about...
