Reason: Actor appearances in CSM videos need to be updated. |
This article is about a toy line in the Kamen Rider Series. |
Complete Selection Modification (コンプリート セレクション モディフィケーション, Konpurīto Serekushon Modifikēshon), abbreviated as CSM, is a series of premium-level toys released by Bandai.
A spin-off series called Complete Style Gigantic is used for scaled-sized weapons.
Overview[]
Products under the CSM label are aesthetically much more detailed than their DX counterparts and are typically engineered to cater to the franchise's older audience. As such, they usually come at a much higher price range and typically are sold under the Premium Bandai banner.
Complete Selection products are larger scale than the deluxe version of the belts while the CSM versions are modified versions of the deluxe belts with additional features being true to its name.
It has also become tradition for an actor from the show/film in which the toy originates from to appear in a commercial promoting said toy.
- For the CSM Doubledriver and Acceldriver, it features an interview with Renn Kiriyama and Minehiro Kinomoto, who both played Shotaro Hidari and Ryu Terui respectively, about the modification of their respective belts.
- During the CSM Diendriver promotion video, actor Tatsuhito Okuda, who plays Narutaki, would occasionally say the word "Onore" (おのれ ), a nod to his character's catchphrase.
- For the CSM Kaixa Gear, it features an interview with Kohei Murakami, who played Masato Kusaka, about the modification of his belt.
- For the CSM Blay Buckle, Rouse Absorber, & Blay Rouzer, it features an interview with Takayuki Tsubaki, who played Kazuma Kenzaki, about the modification of his belt.
- For the CSM Altering, it features an interview with Toshiki Kashu, who played Shoichi Tsugami, about the modification of his belt.
- For the CSM Typhoon 50th Memorial Special Set, Hiroshi Fujioka, who played Takeshi Hongo, appears in the promotional video.
- For the CSM Genesis Driver, it features an interview with Yuki Kubota, who played Takatora Kureshima, about the modification of his belt.
- For the CSM Faiz Driver NEXT, it features an interview with Kento Handa, who played Takumi Inui, about the modification of his belt.
Until 2021, all CSM releases have essentially been "upgrades" to their DX versions. However with the release of the film Kamen Rider OOO 10th: Core Medal of Resurrection and the series Kamen Rider Black Sun, toys such as the Tajanityspinner and Century King Sun Driver were released as a CSM from the start.

The Henshin Exhibition Event[]
The Henshin: Complete Selection Modification Exhibition was a two-day event held by Bandai to commemorate the CSM line. It was held at the Bellsalle in Akihabara, Tokyo from December 7th-8th, 2019. [19]
A selection of transformation belts based on existing Riders were featured exclusively at the event and had no confirmed official release at the time.
- CSM Aqua Driver[20]
- CSM SB-000B Orga Driver - This was the only belt displayed with an existing older version from the original Complete Selection line. An official release was later announced for March 2025.[21]
- CSM SB-315B Psyga Driver - An official release was later announced initially for December 2023, but ultimately delayed to March 2024.[22] It is the first Driver showcased to have a commercial release.
- CSM Alternative Zero V Buckle
Advancing Technology[]
At the event, three non-commercial prototype belts were displayed to showcase the technological advancement in toys, such as lighting, motion sensors, fully automated motors, and steam-effect gimmicks.
- CSM Advanced Screen Display Prototype - Buckle is equipped with a transparent screen that can show a variety of pre-programmed animated digital images and the strap is equipped with LED lighting all around the waist. The strap lights can change into various colors for added play features.
- CSM Motion Sensor Prototype - A belt with a sphere projector in the buckle, the Driver toy was equipped with state of the art interactive motion sensors that could manipulate images on a screen. After the user selects a specific Rider and with the correct hand and arm movements, they can accurately recreate the transformation sequences of past Heisei Kamen Riders and Kamen Rider Zero-One. The main motion sensor bar is behind the buckle on top and has enough range to see a wide array of movements.
- CSM Steam Effect Prototype - A steampunk based Driver with automatic motorized parts and steam-effects. After the belt opens up, lights flash, steam blows out of three smokestacks with two moving side to side and music plays followed by a train whistle sound effect.
These technological advances would later be found in future toy releases such as:
- DX Demons Driver, Vail Driver, and Destream Driver - Belts contain pre-programmed animated digital images that will light up when the corresponding Vistamp is stamped.
- DX Vision Driver, Zillion Driver, and Laser Raise Driver - Belts contain a strap equipped with LED lighting all around the waist.
- DX Dreadriver - The belt contains pre-programmed animated digital images that will light up when the corresponding Ride Chemy Card is scanned and inserted.
- CSM Typhoon 50th Anniversary Edition - The belt contains infrared motion sensors that detect movement, allowing users to imitate Takeshi Hongo's transformation pose faithfully.
- CSM Altering - The transformation buttons from the DX are removed, with motion sensors being placed around the front of the belt instead, allowing users to imitate Shoichi's transformation pose faithfully.
- CSM Century King Sun Driver & Century King Moon Driver - Belts contain motion sensors that upon detecting movement, the automated motorized parts on them begin to condense into the middle of the belts.
- CSM SB-555BN Faiz Driver NEXT, Muez Driver, and SB-913PXX Kaixa Phone XX - Belts are a culmination and upgrade of the technology from the Advanced Screen Display Prototype as they have an LED waistband. The phones have pre-programmed screens and touch-based interfaces that enhances interactive play and replicate the smartphone aspect of role playing for the device.
- CSM Genesis Driver - The Concentrate Pod of the original DX release had a covering lever that slowly ascended to uncover a light of the color of the Energy Lockseed used. The CSM release updates this with animated digital lights instead, allowing the Driver to more faithfully showcase the sizzling carbonation effect in the pod area.
NARIKIRI WORLD 2024[]
NARIKIRI Laboratory - Lab No.03[]
- Boiling Liquid Henshin Belt (液体沸騰変身ベルト, Ekitai Futtō Henshin Beruto) - The pump mechanism allows liquid to low into the center of the belt while air is pumped in from below, creating the illusion of boiling liquid. Additionally, the belt incorporates LEDs to enhance the transformation effect, simulating the rising temperature of the liquid and mimicking the pulsation of a beating heart.
Errors[]
- The Eternal Memory included with the Lostdriver has a silver tip, and the Maximum Drive slot includes W's logo on the button. This error had been amended in future releases.
- It was originally reported that the North American release for the Decadriver ver2 was to exclude the Shinkenger cards. Though unconfirmed, it may be due to a licensing issue with Hasbro and the Power Rangers IP in the United States. Despite so, many buyers have reported the inclusion of said cards from North American retailers, which may be a result of a packaging error.
- The release of the Faiz Belt was met with negative reception due to multiple issues that may been a result in poor production quality control:
- The trigger on the Faiz phone was originally advertised to be hidden, allowing for further immersion in play. However this resulted in the phone being unable to properly read an Exceed Charge as the trigger piece was no longer in sight, with some reports of the BGM not playing in certain cases.[23]
Notes[]
- The Faiz Gear is the first CSM release to have an existing version from the discontinued CS line.
- The Faiz Gear is the first transformation belt to be released in both the CS and CSM lines. Furthermore, it is the first item to feature phrases from multiple characters in the series.
- CSM Faiz is also the first CSM item to not share the same mold as the DX release followed by the V Buckle.
- Certain belts had their toy debut at the CSM-level rather than DX. This practice began with the CSM New Den-O Belt. The Diend belt also doesn't have a DX version either, but a candy toy version exists.
- Both CSM Kabuto and Gatack Zecters have extended rider kick sounds though oddly enough, the CSM and DX Gatack Zecter differ when it says "Rider Kick".
- The Kaixa Gear's pre-order date, September 13, falls under the fan-coined "Kaixa Day", a day which itself is a nod to its number designation.
- On April 1, 2019, as part of April Fools, Bandai jokingly revealed a "CSM Auto Vajin", a life-sized transforming motorcycle priced at 555 million yen and to be released in the year 2555.[24] On the very next day, the CSM Delta Gear was officially announced.
- The CSM Doubledriver is the first to receive updated re-releases.
- A spin-off of this lineup is called Complete Selection Animation where the lineup focuses on items appeared in anime such as the Digivice in Digimon Adventure & the Dragon Radar from Dragon Ball.
- The CSM Typhoon 50th Anniversary Memorial Set is the first Showa Rider belt toy to come with an official scarf accessory, which is a mainstay feature of the original Kamen Rider and is found in many modern-day Riders.
- Due to an unknown licensing issue, the CSM OOO Driver ver. 10th[25] and CSM Birth Driver (with X Unit) [26] are unavailable for North American release.
