Any (from the choice of 40) switch will make a unique sound that matches what the show has.Įach switch has different way of turning on and off just like it is in the show. Yes, you have to let go, so I can open it. This one will be in my room, since the little one already has three other henshin belts.

Requires three AAA (LR03) batteries.Īt this point, I can tell you DX belt is not really a kid item any more. This set comes with the belt unit and four Astro Switches (#01-04 Rocket, Launcher, Drill and Radar). All these effects of course generate sound and light-up effects (on the belt's center panel). Combing an Astro Switch with the main lever triggers his super attacks. Operating the Astro Switches in the belt activates various power-up functions, such as his rocket weapon, drill, radar and more. Flipping the four built-in switches followed by moving the main lever triggers the standard "henshin" sequence. The "driver" or transformation belt is always the main item in Bandai's product lineup for any of the Kamen Rider shows, and Fourze is no exception! Bandai will eventually release a total of 40 "Astro Switches" and all of them produce different effects when mounted into this belt! The belt unit has four built-in switches in addition to mounts for four Astro Switches. If you are really into it, you can buy the other 36 of them :) If you are a fan of Kamen Rider, you will love this item! The Henshin Belt for Kamen Rider Fourze!
