I think the reason why the colors are different before and after transformation is because they could have had the phone part of the faiz suit and the forgot to paint it the phone props colours
I didn't know Bandai used the mold of the original CS version, I thought they used the mold of the DX toy like the other belts. Damn it, now I want it!
4:17 About that, you could say it's accurate, but it's more of inconsistency on the show part. Just recently in Ex-Aid, Brave's Gashacon Sword at times its blade completely shows one element in both side, while at other time you see each of the element on one side of the blade like the DX version. They tend to do this a lot in Rider and Sentai, where they have close up shots of DX toys like at times when the hero use the finisher.
Until now, they released a csm blaybuckle from kamen rider blade thay comes with a funcional blade rouzer and rouze absorber (sadly no king rouzer included). I'd like to see a csm denkamen sword, and a csm alter ring from agito that didn't had spinning leds nor a loud buzzing spinning center piece
cybermon 81 I want to know the answer to this as well. I love it so far, with only one issue that has to do directly with one of the riders, but it's a spoiler, so I'm keeping my mouth shut. ^^
Oh dear... believe me, I have a LOT to say about Kamen Rider Ex-aid. A fair bit of warning, it's NOT flattering in the slightest. I'll try to be as brief as possible. Please be aware that this is just my (stream of consciousness) personal opinion and in no way should affect your own enjoyment of the series. First off, while the whole medical/doctor theme is interesting, it's completely unnecessary and underplayed. There is absolutely no reason for them to be doctors and they aren't taking advantage of it in the slightest. Honestly, I was hoping for some kind of medical drama intrigue, but we're not getting any of that. The illnesses are always the same and so is the cure. Hospitals and medical emergencies are hardly the stuff of light-hearted fun and it clashes so badly with the overall slapstick tone of the series. The incessant pinging sound the chief makes whenever he talks just makes me feel like a message/notification has come in and takes me out of the moment and the prat falls are so painful to sit through. Is that supposed to be funny or endearing? The cartoon sound effects just make it all the more lame... The only thing that this doctor-theme has done is given us some grating child-actor patient performances. I'm not that big of a fan of the whole return to the victim-of-the-week formula with patients that they don't spend much time letting us get invested in them. Unlike W, where most (if not all) the characters are recurring, the characters in this are just one-time patients. What is the stake in all of this and why should we care about whether or not the patients get taken over by the Bugsters? The focus of the show is so narrow, it's claustrophobic and lacks any of the world building we see in W or Gaim. By virtue of them being doctors, the patients come to them and they get literally fed monsters to fight. And these monsters are again generic and have zero bearing on the victims. In W, the monsters were humans that were related to the victims or were even sometimes the victims themselves. Why should we care about the monsters either? Regarding stakes, much of the in-fighting seems forced. Perhaps it's because they're taking their time to explain things, but much of it doesn't seem to be about anything worthwhile. If we look at Gaim or Ryuki, there was a clear setup to explain the fighting and each of the character's motivations. At this point in time, I just can't get invested in any of their goals (if they have any) or their disagreements. It's like they're all being jerks for the sake of being jerks. Moving on to the theme of the show, I do appreciate the fact that they're going for a game theme. However, the rules and the technology are just so contrived and poorly explained. What does clearing a game mean for a Rider? Does every Rider have to clear every game in order to get what they want? How do the enemies fit into the game? It's so overly complex and complicated that it's hard to follow. Also, what's the point of Emu being a tensai gamer? The other Riders are doing as great a job as he is. The use (or overuse) of CG is distracting. With most (or all) previous Rider shows, we only had one big CG monster in the second episode and there wouldn't be another until much later. Here, we get CG monsters every episode with CG blocks and stuff. What's the point? The CG monsters are all so undefined and generic and only exist to get defeated. Personally, I'm not a fan of CG, especially when they don't do a good job of blending it together with the real-life action well. Sure, it does make it look more game-like, but on the other hand, it just makes it look more fake too. Speaking of CG, everything else is also so CG-intensive, it's crazy. For instance, I was never a fan of the whole cut-away/Magical Girl/Sentai transformations in Kamen Rider, and they're really overdoing it here. Every Rider gets his own sequence and boy does it feel unnatural for a Rider series and boy does it take up so much time. The stylized "hit" effects, while thematically appropriate, just serve to cover the screen in blotches. The whole stage select thing, while again thematically appropriate, removes the fighting from the location they were in, making it alienating and less immersive than it would otherwise have been. In the end, I guess I could sum the show up as forced, contrived and bland. Don't get me wrong, I can see the appeal, but it's definitely not a Kamen Rider series for me. It's just not hitting any of the right buttons (see, it's a pun).
Actar Raikit I have many of the same complaints, yet I like the show almost as much as I like Ghost, which is my favorite KR to date (though I have yet to get invested in W or Gaim, which I'm going to do next), and I think it's entirely because of the video game theme. I love the henshin sequences (at least in theory I do. Many of the magical girl sequences in Ex-Aid are...um... lackluster to say the least). My biggest gripe are the monsters. Salt? Graphite? What, the periodic table of the elements equates to viral diseases now? I don't get it. That and the CG of the monsters that the LV 1 riders fight, that was the most devastatingly underwhelming thing I've seen in a heisei KR so far. The monsters are supposed to be cool. Now they're weird melted orange cheese puff snacks that seem to fizzle into existence, which does not really evoke "bacteria" or "virus," and certainly doesn't evoke fear like the eyecon baddies did in Ghost. I love the form changes, but I get a bit irritated when they're asymmetrical like Gekitotsu Robots. One thing I thought they were going to do was make the bodies of the patients the world that the KR fought the Bugster in, a la Spirun in Tales of Hearts or network areas in Megaman Battle Network, which both performed flawlessly in the art of "uncorrupt the corrupted" as a theme. I will say this though: I finally understand the methodology of making the henshin item contain batteries, rather than the belt. The longevity of production of Gashats far outstrips the Eyecons. LR44 batteries are still the bane of my existence though. XD
Actar Raikit something I forgot: the characters aside from Emu/M irritate me to no end. Taiga had better have one HELL of a reason for being as much of an asshat as he's been. None of the supporting characters are even holding a candle to Prince Alain/Alan/whateverthesubbersspelleditas from Ghost, and even less if compared to Makoto/Specter.

Is there a mode for Mari? i mean, the Henshin with error sound effects.
I tried to do some research about CSM and went off to find a CS Ryuki V-Buckle...
The time I saw the price, I almost saw the light...
I think the reason why the colors are different before and after transformation is because they could have had the phone part of the faiz suit and the forgot to paint it the phone props colours
I didn't know Bandai used the mold of the original CS version, I thought they used the mold of the DX toy like the other belts. Damn it, now I want it!
the call and end buttons should of had small lights that lit up when in phone mode in their onscreen portions and dimmed to white when in the driver.

Well there is a rumour that at times for the series they use the dx toys
is faiz phone have bgm button ？
How do you feel about the new CSM Faiz Gear that's coming out for the 20th anniversary?
You know, as a big Den-O fan, I wish Bandai would make a CSM Den-O Belt and DenGasher with the same kind of wireless gimmick as the one used here
And they at least got the belt. Sadly, I haven't seen any CSM belt sets that include weapons.
Until now, they released a csm blaybuckle from kamen rider blade thay comes with a funcional blade rouzer and rouze absorber (sadly no king rouzer included). I'd like to see a csm denkamen sword, and a csm alter ring from agito that didn't had spinning leds nor a loud buzzing spinning center piece
Now that you have seen the Legend Henshin Belt Series Faiz Driver, what are your thoughts on it?
Are the mission memories the same size?
Will the CSM work to activate survival? Or is it to big?
so my question is does it work with the Faiz Blaster
Dysfunctional Dildo would happen to know the measurements for the DX model i need something to fit into my Faiz Blaster for a cosplay
Would it be possible to mod the VGC-7701 case to fit the CSM version?
Are you going to do a comparison video between the CSM and DX Kaixa Gear Mr. Actar?
Yeah, I really should, shouldn't I. (^.^') I'm definitely planning one, but when it'll be out, I can't say.
What do you think about the cs faiz belt ?
雲泥の差とはまさにこのことだな
They should make a CSM version of the Kaixa and Delta Gears.
The CSM version of the Kaixa Gears belt is already came out, you can order it online at Amazon, I already bought it.
I prefer CSM Delta Gear.
t need link to buy CSM have box ;-;
FAIZ is my favorite kamen rider
What do you think of Kamen Rider Ex-aid, Actar Raikit?
