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...
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.
