Who knows! It's absolutely bizarre, but it's being released as a Christmas campaign item of all things

Or maybe it was "Mission Start?" I only heard it the once. Nothing I've done since has been able to replicate it, and I haven't found it among lists of hacked sounds. I'd have assumed that a sound like that would be a basic driver sound, but if that were the case, surely someone would have found it by now...?

That would by the phone for this year.

Keiwa’s like Genm and Zangetsu basically

There's speculation that it's cause they're gonna perma-bench Keiwa, which would make me sad tbh.

I'm confident that won't happen. When he was eliminated, he got labeled "Retired," which Buffa and Na-Go also got. From the first episode, we know Riders who are still in the competition at the end of previous DGPs return for the next. Also, the first rule the series revealed about the Desire Grand Prix is that receiving an ID Core is a one-way trip to becoming a Kamen Rider, and there's no backing out.

On another note, I splurged and picked up the Geats and Tycoon SO-DO figures on Mandarake. I foolishly failed to check to see how many boxes they were, and completely missed the two boxes containing Geats's Entry form, AKA most of the other Riders for display purposes. I suspect this is going to be very hard to find because it's so versatile.

The Monster Raise Buckle also showed up yesterday; these things are shipping shockingly fast. This is the first Raise Buckle I outright regret buying. The slapstick noises are not my jam. I did run into something interesting, though: the first few times I loaded it into the Desire Driver, it didn't register properly at all. (I'm starting to think there might be something wrong with my Driver.) When I got it seated in the second slot, I still wasn't hearing the Monster sounds, and instead, I got "Geats Strike." At first, I thought it was audio unique to the Monster buckle until I realized I hadn't yet heard any of its normal sounds.

Good news! They're releasing the enrtry form.body a lot!

Tycoon Entry is in fact the one most likely to be sought after — because they’ve already confirmed that’s the only box that’ll come with closed-hole fists. At least in this design

I wonder how many Raise Weapon buckles we'll end up getting. I really like how "Astroswitch" they are.

I ended up collecting most of the clear plastic versions of the astroswitches and seeing the raise weapons come in clear plastic is making me want to collect them all.

Do we know if the Drill and Propeller raise weapons are repaints of, or do they get unique props?

Drill is a repaint of the Drill Arm from the Birth CLAWS
Propeller is a repaint of the propellor blade from Build RoseCopter
