Kamen Rider Decade - DX DecaDriver



  The DecaDriver is the henshin device used by Kadoya Tsukasa ( 角谷司 ) to become Kamen Rider Decade; a kamen rider that could use the power of the 9 previous Heisei Era Riders (Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-o and Kiva).


  The DX DecaDriver is (at least for now) the closest henshin device in terms of look, size, electronics/sounds to the one in the show. It comes with ten Ganbaride Kamen Ride Cards - 9 for each of the above riders and one for Decade (the one use for transforming into Decade).


  The DecaDriver comes in one box, but divided in 3 parts: DecaReader, Buckle and Belt. Just put all of that together and it's done. Turn the reader ON (button is on the bottom) and pull the buckle out to each side and this will make the reader rotate thou putting the card insertion slot face up. Insert the card with the back picture facing the the opening in the front of the reader so the rider symbol can be seen through it. A voice will be heard saying "KAMEN RIDE" followed but a generic sound, push the buckle in from the sides and it will say the Rider name on the card and then again followed by a sound, this time the specific henshin sound for the respective rider; ex: KAMEN RIDE (generic sound) "DECADE" and the followed by decade henshin sound.
You can use all Ganbaride cards but most of them will no act as they did in the show...

Show Sound - Toy Sound
Attack Ride Slash - Attack Ride Decade
Forme Ride Faiz Accell - Forme Ride Faiz
Attack Ride Ore Sanjou - Attack Ride Den-O

 As you can see, the DecaDriver is limited to the sounds it can make. Having different sound effects and voice  for every rider and card type is cool, but for show accuracy is very pour. If you're thinking of buying it, try to get it for $50 tops.
 I'll be wating some time before buying it because i have the hope that they'll release a Complete Selection DecaDriver just like they did with Kuuga's and Faiz gears.

This is all for the DX DecaDriver. Next i'll talk about the DX DienDriver.
