Tokusatsu Roleplay Toys Thread
 

I realized we have general threads for stuff like Figuarts, FrS, SO-DO, and Shodo, but not roleplay toys. So I thought it would be nice to have one at last so we can all talk about them in general, share new info, talk trivia, and so on without being restricted to a certain series or toy company. So, without further ado, enjoy folks.

Simple Ground Rule
Let's just talk roleplay toys, so no mecha, figures, collectables, or model kits. :rock:

I know there was the DX Ultra Spark and the Ultra Replica version, but what about the Dark Spark?

FYI, so not a Transformers reference despite the obvious parallels!

You mean this?

Off topic, I recently saw some of Wotafa's videos and he recently did some with Tsuyoshi Nonaka in regards to the toys he worked on. According to Nonaka, the Ranger Gun/Stick from Zyuranger pretty much re-used elements of the Maximillian from Jiban, specifically how it folds up and stuff.

When the OG Dark Kiva gets a CSM of his belt:

Found it by chance but yes folks, that's Mr. Shinya Niiro aka King with the CSM Dark Kivat Belt.

Cool.

Bandai announced the Dictator 30th Anniversary Edition because Blue Swat turned 30.

It's Premium Bandai.

Definitely getting it if it keeps the old gimmick.

Yoooo that is sick. it even has a safety?

The DX Ultra Spark and Ultra Replica are great, but I don’t think the Dark Spark gets as much love in the roleplay toy scene. It would be awesome to see a high-quality version of it, especially considering its design.

I believe they released one two years ago? As an Ultra Replica, I think.

CSM Double Driver ver. 2 announced.

Another one? :lolol

Just found out that they’ve released a high spec belt for the Gamer Driver and am not sure if it’s worth the cost.

I assume you mean this one? Looks like you need the DX Gamer Driver to fully enjoy it since it's just the show-accurate straps and the Kimewaza Slot Holder.

Thanks for the video, though I was aware that it is just the straps.

I?ve had the Gamer Driver for a few years now, but haven?t gotten around to getting an extender, so this would be good. Plus, the Kimewaza slot holder isn?t too easy to get ahold of, so the fact that it?s packed in works for me.

Yeah, this definitely looks like a good solution for fans who want something more show-accurate especially if you have the core merch that it intends to improve. I say get it if you can.

Kamen Rider Store Exclusive Clear Zero One Driver

A shame this wasn't the version of the Zero-One Driver that Aruto had when he got a hold of the Realizing Hopper Progrise Key. I'm not a huge fan of rehashes like this but this in particular works for me. :rock:

Honestly I'm a sucker for gimmicks like this. And it being the Driver for one of my favorite Rider shows does make it rather tempting.

Kamen Rider Ryuga CSM Black DragVisor up for preorder release Jan 2026.

I love how you can recreate the pre-transformation state and the post-transformation state.

This... is not fair.

I wonder if we'll get the Inroumaru first or if they'll switch things up to announce the Sushi Changer and Sakanamaru next. Heck, give us Rekkadaizantou so I can have my mind blown moment. :lolol
