DX Dragonic Booster & King Lion Booster ドラゴニックブースター & キングライオンブースター Kamen Rider Saber Series

 

レジェンド変身ベルトシリーズ Legend Henshin Belt Series ファイズドライバー Faiz Driver 仮面ライダーファイズ Kamen Rider Faiz 555

 Nice belt. Especially the lengthen finisher Exceed Charge sounds. Have since file down the pin for the Complete sound activation a bit the button is too sensitive. Also some comparisons with my DX (paint touched up) and 2005(?) Legend rider Series Faiz Driver (modified to Orga Driver).

Yutaka SB-555C Faiz Shot Kamen Rider Faiz 555 Series

An old toy produced 16 years ago... Surprise to see the size is almost the same as the DX counterpart, only thinner in width. This is a Yutaka Company simplified version of the SB-555C Faiz Shot which has simplified functions and sounds. Gotten it to complete the DX Faiz Gear Box. Now only left to get or make the Faiz Axel watch...

Modification Two Sides Removable CSM Belt Straps for Doubledriver CSM 1.5 Type Kamen Rider W Double

 Modified the 3rd party CSM belt straps for Decadriver to become the Doubledriver CSM 1.5 type where both straps are able to be removed instead of just 1 side. Simple concept of drilling a hole at the outer casing, attach a screw to the pin, but the adjustments and such are manual and painful. Finally use hot glue to thicken up the knob for thumb and fingers to slide the screw head.

Bootleg KO Ohma ZiO Ridewatch Sound Addition

 Added the Ohma Zi-O Driver's transformation sound to this bootleg KO Ohma Zi-O ridewatch. Did not use the actual ridewatch's sounds as I felt that is not the true Ohma Zi-O form.

DX Tategami Hyoujuu Senki Wonder Ride Book タテガミ氷獣戦記ワンダーライドブック Kamen Rider Blades ( Saber Series )

 Too heavy and the hardest Wonder Ride Book to open via the Swordriver's pin gimmick. My bootleg is not able to activate it properly most of the time if I am holding it to face me ( i.e. draw the sword with left hand ) but will work quite fine when I draw the sword out with right hand. Should be some tolerance issue that I cannot figure out the solution with the ad-hoc mechanism and material... If this is a toy for children, I think it should be designed to be lighter, as this is too heavy for kids... But quite a fun WRB...

DX Ankokuken Kurayami & Jaken Caliburdriver Kamen Rider Calibur Jaou Dragon Perfect Set Saber Series

 Bought this set around the 11-11 period, and was  bit cheaper than usual. Am tempted to make a bigger size sword to put in the original sword's electronics as this set does not require the sword to be inserted into a small swordriver. Will see how next time. Also featuring the CSM belt straps from Rider Creator. I bought 2 belt straps from this company Rider Creator but found the quality to be lower than what I bought from previously. Each set of belt consist of 1 glossy and 1 matt belt finishing.

Restoring Bootleg DX Seiken Swordriver / Dragonic Knight & King Lion Daisenki Set / DX Saber Books

 Restored the "draw sword" feature of the bootleg DX Seiken Swordriver (from Kamen Rider Saber series) recently bought. More pictures and details can be found in my blog which will be posted later. Took many days to figure out and a few more days to replicate on another 2 bootlegs. Also showed the DX Saiyuu Journey and DX Storm Eagle Wonder Ride Books, as well as the DX Dragonic Knight & King Lion Daisenki Wonder Rider Books Set.

 

For the restoration to have the normal "Draw sword" feature, I refer to Bilibili videos to check for the mechanisms. Not much details but will do. The below are the main pieces needed. I use a combination of 1.5mm (?) and 0.2mm (?) ABS sheets, slowly adjusting the parts to the appropriate thicknesses. Will not be answering any questions on the size, as I also have no idea how big they are. I estimate, cut , test and trim them.

 

The below 2 parts form the main mechanism system to push up the pins when sword is drawn out...

Fitting onto the driver...

 

A small spring is added to let the lever flip back to vertical position after sword is inserted in...

Finally cover the mechanism to prevent the spring and lever from coming out...

For the bootleg Wonder Ride Books, the middle button has a very strong spring, is best to replace with a weaker and shorter one, so as to prevent the book from being pushed back up after inserting it intot he driver.

Bootleg DX Double Driver ( Version 7 ) ( Kamen Rider Double W ) Knockoff KO - Eternal Skull Memories

This is the latest bootleg version 7 of the Kamen Rider Double / W 's DX Double Driver. I bought this because of the more toy-accurate Eternal and Skull Gaia Memories, though is fake-interactions with the Driver and Maximum Slot, as my DX versions seemed to have gone cranky in the switches after many years. These 2 bootleg memories will act as my spare standby copies, in case the DX ones really become damage beyond repair (touch wood). As with the Memories in version 6, these Memories are almost like the enhanced shokugan (candy toy) versions of Gaia Memories. 

 The main body is still the same as the previous versions', summarize 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
(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, but can be restored easily.

A very nice bootleg. Will restore the main driver's DX reading function and modified it into the Lost Driver before giving the main driver to my nephew, together with the gashapon Double T2 Memory.
