Oh hey, apparently we're getting a Revice Buckle too, that's cute. Wish it was a little better designed than just sticking an image of the driver on a buckle with Revice's colors, but eh, they can't all be hits. I'd imagine the Hammer Buckle on-top pairs with it?

Edit: Oh yeah, I guess the Hammer Buckle being packaged with the Driver means that the alledged toy listing might be real? How interesting.....

Geats must have a love story too somewhere.

It all depends whether the protagonist gets the girl or some other rider who deserves romance too. Or a few number of them.

Oh gosh, it'll be kind of a shame if all the legend rider buckles look like this... like I get what they're going for but I'm not feeling it

Close ups of the scans we saw are currently going around. Im a bit occupied rn so I cant upload them here rn but in particular I saw Geats w Boost (top) with decent quality earlier this morning.

Boost looks really nice!

A couple of weird things though that probably won't matter in the long run:

No sign of any brand new forms (Saber showed off Jackun and Peter forms, and I believe Revice showed of Megalodon and Mammoth, but nothing beyond seeing Boost as the upper body).

This is the first time since Drive/Ghost that we don't have an August Item (Ghost did sell the Ore Eyecon, but that was an odd case considering it came with the belt), and the first time since Ghost that an item came with the Driver rather than just the base transformation item.

Not gonna lie, not sure how I feel about the buckles. Considering how great the two halves form with Magnum and Boost, seeing only half form with an odd buckle won't have the same effect. Will definitely have to see with the Press Conference though before making any judgements.

I'll have to find it again (still cant post images, but i can at least provide a link) but I did see something like the rumored Shield and Arrow Buckles! Theyre in the same style as the Hammer Buckle, so I wager that auxiliary/gashapon buckles all share that similar style, while Main Rider + Upgrade Buckles will be as fancy as Magnum/Boost.

I gotcha. Kinda hard to make out, but that one listing proved to be true (which showed that Shield and Arrow were among the first DX Items), so it might be them:

EDIT: One is at least arrow, so it is safe to assume those are Arrow and Shield.

Also, I am happily proven wrong! Here is Geats Water form!

Water looks like the same buckle as Hammer, Arrow, and Shield, so I guess they have corresponding forms with a lot less armor. Perhaps they are the "Lower Tier" items in the game.

Also, I guess the belt might have some electronics? Either that or the buckles can light up the belt, as the belt is glowing blue in the left section for Water.

Pretty sure the belt has lights, in the movie cam footage we saw the edge around the ID change colours a few times, seems unlikely the gimmicks are doing that themselves? But maybe not, we'll see I guess

Also the belt DEFINITELY ROTATES

It even says "revolve on" when it does

Ngl I'm expecting this to be one of the most physically satisfying belts to play with at this point

Thanks! In any case, its nice to see theyre sticking with the gunman theming even for auxiliary forms, itd feel weird seeing Geats wield a sword or something!

(The original toy leak mentioned the DX ver of Buckles do all have sound/lights, if i remember correctly? The candy/gashapon variants probably dont?)

Interesting... I'd totally assumed everything was from the belt until now... huh
