Legend Henshin Belt Series
I wanted to make a thread dedicated to the new Legend Henshin belts. I've also seen them referred to as Legend Makeover Belts.
These are not quite DX re-releases, but rather self contained belts at a more affordable price with basic functionality. As of this post there are:
It's interesting to note that according to the Bandai toy blogs, if they were to release the original Fourze driver today, it would be twice as much as it was when it first came out. And also, the Zi-O Zikan Driver re-release didn't do as well as they expected. Given this information, I think this line of belts is a great idea. Certainly for the early Heisei era, a lot of those belts were kinda wonky and didn't match the show enough. I don't think Bandai really figured out DX belts until Kabuto. I also think this means DX belt re-releases are going to be very rare. |

I wish the new Faiz phone worked with the older DX toys. I have a Faiz Blaster but no phone to put in it. I have the CSM Faiz gear, but obviously that doesn't fit either.

Woah. Unlike the original DX, the Faiz Driver has the FULL Crimson Smash sounds. Very impressive. The Forze Driver even has de-henshin sounds.

I wish they did a side by side with the DX counterparts. These things are very small.
I originally thought they were for adults because that's all Legend Rider stuff really sells to, but the belt straps are still very short and they are built in a way to suggest durability for younger kids. |

Also sucks about faiz having literally no silver paint on the buckle itself. |
Sadly, the new Faiz belt are didn't come with Faiz Shot and Faiz Pointer. I personally think it would be more interesting if Faiz Shot and Faiz pointer are released again.

But maybe they fit in the dx faiz blaster at least? Hopefully someone will compare this with the dx faiz belt release and we'll see if its the same scale, that would be just great. |
I personally really want them to release a legend Altering, but with the csm release looming, i doubt they will anytime soon...

I think at least until Wizard this is a great idea since the sounds would often not be 100% accurate(ESPECIALLY in Early Heisei Phase 1)

Legend Rider Faiz Phone does not fit into the Faiz blaster. Doesn't look like there's a possibility to mod it either. Bummer!

Only thing that really sucks with these is that the modifications to the mold to allow the universal belt loop removes some of the more accurate elements of the belt strap design, such as on ryuki the right side of the v buckle actually had a functioning belt clip, which looks now to be one solid piece with the buckle. This removes the belt activation sounds from when you clip them on to wear for some releases, like den-o. Plus the removal of the hidden henshin sounds from other belts is a let down, mos of those were activated by turning on the belts and pressing a button at the same time. With the ommission of the button, we dont have those features amymore. |
