DX Ixa Calibur イクサカリバー Blade Extension Modification 改造 Kamen Rider Kiva 仮面ライダーキバ Series

Yes, the title is just rubbish and for fun... This was modified long time ago, see previous post of modification of DX Ixa Calibur in 2012 for some pictures on the modding... In commemoration of the upcoming release of CSM Ixa Driver and Ixa Riser... and Bandai Premium seem to miss this weapon out... not sure why...

DX Complete Henshin Assault Wolf Progrise Key - Kitbash w/ GP ( Kamen Rider Zero One KR Vulcan )

It seems that the DX Shotriser is shortchanging the DX Progrise Keys as it cannot play the full Henshin sound. Hence I implanted the GP ( gashapon ) Assault Wolf Progrise Key circuit board into the DX version. But in order to still allow the Shotriser to perform the final attack function, I had to resort to use various switches to "cheat" and achieve this function. In the end, took 2 days as there was some swapping of switches after the initial modification. Not sure if still have the strength and will left to continue with the DX Shining Assault Hopper and DX Shooting Wolf Progrise Keys... hopefully will...

The insides of the Progrise Keys (GP version on the right)....


Start to trim GP circuit board... and realized more needs to be trimmed...


Decided to place the GP circuit board here... no other good places anyway...


Need to break / destroy the GP sound activation switch as it is a SMD and soldered on 4 points...


I wanted to activate the GP sounds manually and also when the DX Shotriser trigger is pressed, hence I added 2 switches (in parallel) to it...


Made a plunger from ABS sheet to activate the GP switch with DX Shotriser trigger...


Initial placed the Sound Select switch at bottom of Progrise Key, but realized that it was too hidden in the DX Shotriser to press when the Progrise Key is inserted in... Hence need to swap position with the GP sound activation switch on top of Progrise Key...


Final configuration... this swapping took 1 full day... tired...

Kitbash : DX Zero Proto Driver ( Prototype Stage ) Kamen Rider Zero One 01 Homemade Henshin Belt

Bashed this from the DX Progrise Key Connector (no Progrise Key version). Intend to give to my little niece for a early school holiday present, but not sure if she will want to have it. Hence I did not put in the driver's sounds yet, meaning this Driver is still incomplete.
