My enjoyment of this line would've increased dramatically if not for the flip-up faceplates. If they'd been individual components like Gaim's fruit helmet inserts, this would've been a winner. Having an action figure upgrade that only looks good from one angle is not great.

Yeah....the one of weakness in Gamer Robot Armors from LVUR toy lines is they not have helmet like in Fruit Armor from Gaim...

So....the head articulation is limited when action figure combined with robot armors...

The Parka Ghost from Kamen Rider Ghost has limited head articulation too but at least the head with mask can be still moving when the hoodie pressed from the back.....

The So-Do version has more articulation despite the faceplate cannot used by other Riders (example: So-Do Gekitotsu Robots come with Ex-Aid's head with Gekitotsu Robots helmet and this helmet cannot be removed)

I love how the level 3 sound for Barcode Warrior Decade says Onore Decade.

Dat Maximum Power voice crack. Still awesome though.

So is Bandai releasing all these gashats now because Dan isn't around to complain? Not that I'm complaining, I'm really liking them. And regretting not getting that Poppy gashat back when preorders were out. It's just so darn cute!

I think the next time I'm inclined to pick up the retail toy line for a Rider show, it might be prudent to pick up the So-Do version instead.

Anyone here collecting the metallic Gashats? I kind of want a metallic Fourze Gashat but I plan the getting DX version and I don't really want to pay for the exact same Gashat twice. These Gashat's aren't cheap.

If I want the Kamen Rider Chronicle gashat do I need to get the Bugle Driver II?

TO become Kamen Rider Chronos, yes. To just be a Ride-Player, no. XD

Yup, the Gashat is only available in a bundle with the Bugle Driver II, just like Dangerous Zombie was with the original Bugle Driver.

Tokimeki Crisis on the other hand will be sold separately.

Oh. That's what they meant. >_> :lolol

*SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE LATEST EPISODE YET* (just in case)

I'm gonna make a small prediction here; when pressing Tokimeki Crisis' activation button, it will alternate between the "evil" voice we heard in the episode and a regular happy Poppy voice.

If you want to mark something as a spoiler, begin the spoiler with [ spoiler ] and end it with [/ spoiler ] and remove the spaces in between the brackets, the site will then cover the words so nobody accidentally says it anyway

If you already have the first bugvisor apart from the Chronicle Gashat is there any reason to buy the Bugle Driver II?
Is it worth getting both or is it Better to think about selling the first and picking up the second?

I'd imagine it has noticeably different sounds compared to the first Buggle Driver but other then that I doubt it. It does come with the Kamen Rider Chronicles Gashat though.

We'll have to wait and see, but judging from how Poppy transformed by hitting a button first, I assume the Buggle Driver II is like the Gashat Gear Dual Beta. It's similar, but there's differences

Short answer: Yes. They have different sounds.

The first Buggle Driver/Bugvisor adds 'Genocide' to the transformation, followed by a Zombie Wail, like this:

Danger! Danger! Genocide! Death the Crisis! Dangerous Zombie! AHHHHH!

With the bold, being the Bugvisor's additions.
The Bugvisor II adds 'War' to the transformation announcements of Toki Meki Crisis and Kamen Rider Chronicle, and may lack the 'Let's Game, Bad Game, Dead Game, What'cha Name? The Bugster!' transformation announcement, and may have nothing, or something else entirely.

I'm guessing Chronicle will get a Candy toy or gashapon version so that might be something if I don't want the full Driver and since Toki Meki is a separate release there's no issue there
The thing that bothers me I suppose is the price of it and since I already have the bugvisor even with the new sounds I'm struggling to justify it in my mind

I might pick one up. Since I started collecting toys around Ex-Aid's late teens or so, I haven't really been collecting the Gashat despite my love for them. All I have is Mighty Brothers XX. I might pick the Buggle Driver II, the DX Legend Rider Gashats, and maybe the Double Gashats before calling it quits on the show's toyline. I love video games and the Gashats but I've joined way too late to try and scramble to get every single DX item. I'll stick to candy/capsule versions thank you.

The Buggle Driver II will be around 6500 yen I believe so I'm not sure as I said if I'll go for that and to be honest I think collecting it your way really isn't as bad as my way for example which was preorder the Gamer Driver and DX Gashats before the show started and then crossing my fingers and hoping I like it which I think you saw my regret on the Kyuranger toy thread with some purchases I made via this method
So there's nothing wrong with waiting and getting a feel for the show and toy line and then getting capsules and candy toy versions of the gimmicks

Would the people who know about these things recommend the Candy/Capsule gashats to me? I know they have to be put together, which doesn't bother me, I'm just interested in how good value they are (like how many sounds there are, for example))

I just watched the latest episode of Ex-Aid and it looks like they just sold me on the Buggle Driver II, the Tokimeki Gashat, and especially the Kamen Rider Chronicles Gashat. Much like the poppy version of the DoRiMeFa Beat Gashat, I'm very surprised by how much I like the Tokimeki Gashat. Maybe its because its all cutesy and what not? *chuckles* Man, those times when the show sells you on something you were on the fence about. Does anyone have any idea when they go on preorder?

It's may release for both the driver and toki gashat
So anytime in the next two weeks I'd imagine

Ya, that sounds about right thanks. Now, I just need to figure out whether or not I want to buy the Gashat Gear Dual...

I have the dual and the beta and I find the Dual more fun so I'd definitely recommend it
You got the sounds for perfect puzzle and knockout fighter without the driver and then perfect knockout with the driver
And with perfect knockout debut just around the corner I'd grab it now for sure it's quite chunky but fits fine in the hand :)

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm getting some things from CSToys and they finally got it in. I was going to get the Wizard Gashat but I think I'll with Dual Gear. That thing's selling like crazy.

I'm not surprised with Perfect Knockout v Maximum mighty X coming up I think both of those Gashats will be sought after highly
So grab it before the rush :)
Wizard is a good Gashat too
Your Spoilt for choice

Well, I just got the Gashat Gear Dual. I got it alongside the Fourze Gashat, my first normal Gashat actually, and a couple of cheap Kyutama. I'll get the Wizard Gashat one of these days.

The Neo Heisei riders you can always go back to later on I find
Like I didn't get the Wizard or W Eyecons till a few weeks after Ex Aid had started so I'm sure wizard will still be there
Hats off to you if your going after all the Kyutamas
I imagine CS will give you one of the checksheets for them

Ya, they still have quite a few Ghost Eyecons for sale on their site. In addition to a bunch of capsule toy Eyecons, they still have a lot of the DX Ghost movie eyecons 3-pack left. People must have really not liked that movie. I might pick up a couple of eyecons in a couple of weeks. I'm not that big a fan of Ghost but the eyecons were a pretty cool collectible.

Oh, I've long given up on the idea of collecting all of them. I still really like the Kyutama though so I figure, why not get as many as I could?

Has anyone with the original Buggle Driver found a way to extend the belt?
I can't use my DX Extension Belt with it like I can the other Drivers
The Buggle Driver has that silver belt and I was just wondering if anyone had managed to extend it?
Otherwise I'll have to cut down a normal leather belt to try and make one to fit me

This looks neat

That's from the Genm DVD set isn't it?

It is, though I reckon some people will sell it on ebay individually like with the Proto Mighty Action X Gashat at a higher price
