Kamen Rider Fourze: Roleplay Items and Other Merchandise

[Zenoff64]

Yeaaaaaaah....good luck finding the belt for less than $50 anywhere. Retail price here in Japan isn't even less than $50 (it's somwhere between 6500 and 7000 yen, which is between $76-$91 currently.) Plus, it's consistently sold out in stores (in every toy store I've went to there's a sign up saying something along the lines of "We have no stock of the Fourze belt, we'll put you on a waiting list and let you know when it's back in stock") You'll never find it on the interwebs for less than that price unless someone is trying to get rid of all their **** and selling it for insanely low prices (super unlikely) But yeah, good luck finding that belt for under $50 :redface2:

Who's talking retail? Every year I wait till someone dumps their collection and pick up the current rider belt dirt cheap. My personal best is $10 for a W driver and $30 for an OOO's after the rest was sold off.

Patience is an absolute virtue in this market.

How so? I've played with it in a toy store, the clarity is much better than the O Scanner.

Hmm, maybe the one I was playing with had bad batteries? I'll have to check again.

Astro Switch Theory

Not counting the Legend Switches, we know that there are 40 rider switch's in all. 10 for each slot on the Driver and thus 10 modules for each limb. We also know that some of these switches affect Fourze's form like Billy The Rod/Elec and the Hi-Hack Gun/Fire.

ElecStates is based off Construction Worker's and has a predominately Yellow/Gold Colour Scheme. The 3rd Switch, Drill is a yellow Switch. Alot of people would consider Drills to be involed in Construction and to be used by Construction Workers. Also the 22nd Switch [HIDE]Hammer[/HIDE] is yellow and is something used by Construction Workers. Noticing a pattern? The other yellow/gold switches I've seen are a bit vague, so we will have to wait for their appearance in the show to see if they also match up.

This doesn't just apply for Elec States though, but BaseStates as well. This time with the black/white/orange colour scheme. 1st Switch Rocket is the obvious one, with Radar also being obvious match for basestates when you think about it. Then there is the 18th Switch [HIDE]Shield, which is white and shaped like the top of a space shuttle [/HIDE]which fits.

While we haven't seen a blue form yet, the Blue Switches seen up to now share a common theme, 2. Launcher, 8. Chainsaw and 19. [HIDE]Gatling[/HIDE] are all pretty heavy and powerful weaponry.

FireStates is spanner in the works for my theory though, we haven't seen any Red Switches beside the Hi-HackGun though we have seen alot of Pink Switches, which some people consider to be a shade of Red. Problem is they don't really fit with the Fire-Fighter motif of FireStates, 5. Magic Hand could fit but 9. Hopping doesn't reall, though it may be the blacksheep of the Pink/Red series so my theory may still work out.

So if we go with it right now we have:
White/Black/Orange Switches = Basestates
Yellow/Gold = ElecStates
Red/Pink? = FireStates
Blue = Water/HeavyWeapon States? (Could be a Warship )
Green = Nature/Traversal States? (7.Parachute is do with Travel and so is 16. [HIDE] Winch[/HIDE] Nature just fits in with the elemental theme.)

Now just to finish off my theory:
40 Switches, Ten for each Port, 5 Different Type/Colour of Switches = Two of each colour for each Slot/Limb. OCD Win.

I don't know where a Second Rider could fit into this but maybe he would use his own subset of switches outside of the 40 or Legend. Maybe he could have a whole new gimmick but that's very unlikely.

Sorry if this a bad post, my first. (What Castle Crasher have to with KR/SS? :castlerock: )

WOW loads of analyzing considering your first post!:thumbs: Just some points to note:

FMCS 02 (Elec States) comes with Elec, Camera, Chainsaw and Hopping modules. FMCS 03 (Fire States) comes with Fire, Gatling, Shield, and Winch I think. But if they come with the toy I think it kinda proves that modules can be used with any state. Also if you look closely at that Elec State scan, the switches are: Elec, Launcher, Drill and Radar.

Scissors is also yellow.

You maybe right that there's a theme, but I don't think they are restricted to one state only.

Hmm, wonder if HLJ is gonna meet that September restock it let people order for. I got my preorder in, so I hope they get more in soon!

Goddammit... I only got past the opening credits of episode 1 & I had to go & buy Gashapon Switch Set 1 for $20 shipped. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A BELT.

Goddammit. :nelson:

 

[xSHiNOx]

you will eventually want to get the belt right? that $20 you wasted could have went towards buying the fourze driver which comes with switches 1-4.

Actually, the switches are divided by type, not color. Square switches are almost always support switches, like radar, winch, and chain arrays. Square switches are Artillery/Heavy Weapons type switches. Triangle switches are finisher switches. When you use them, the battle will be over soon after. And Circle switches are Forms and miscellaneous, seeming to take cues from the other three, as well as use original kinds.

:buttrock: Nice catch I didn't even notice that! Circle also has parachute ... While I can dig the different looking switches I wish fourze didn't look like a psp controller :laugh:

 

[xSHiNOx]

parachute belongs to square.

O = Forms and misc.
X = Artillery weapons
/_\ = Finishers
[] = Support

----------------------

gashapon astro switch set 02 is now out! i gotta get me camera and hopping.
[hide] [/hide]

the hopping switch comes with a glitter sticker due to it not having a DX release so they give you a glitter sticker to make it a DX switch since the switches have no difference except for the sticker.
