Alongside the Gotchard Driver, Bandai has also unveiled the the ValvaradRusher, the transformation device for Gotchard’s rival, Valvarad. Also, roleplay toys!
DX Gotchard Driver
The Gotchard Driver supposedly functions as a card reader for the various cards that will unlock Gotchard’s powers. A video by Bandai Japan, which shows how the driver works, can be seen below:
Gotcharge Gun
The Gotcharge Gun will be the sidearm weapon for Kamen Rider Gotchard. By sliding the Rider Chemy Cards onto a specialised scanner, Gotchard initiates attacks against the enemy. The gun then harnesses cutting edge technology, unleashing a wide array of powerful attacks. Its precision and potency make it a formidable tool against even the most daunting adversaries. With the Gotcharge Gun in hand, Kamen Rider Gotchard fearlessly confronts challenges, displaying unwavering dedication to safeguarding humanity.
The Deluxe Gotchard Gun’s lights, sounds and action packed effects create an immersive roleplaying experience. The deluxe toy comes with Skebows, Golddash & Bulletbang Ride Chemy Cards!
ValvaradRusher
The ValvaradRusher, as mentioned above, is the transformation device for the mysterious rival, Valvarad. The ValvardRusher is based on a wrench and in a similar way to Kamen Rider Gotchard, the device also uses the card gimmick as well as scanning the card to activate the henshin and attacks for Valvarad. The ValvardRusher also acts as a weapon for Valvarad.
In order to transform into Valvarad, the user will firstly rotate the middle part of the wrench which reveals a compartment for a Ride Chemy Card, then the user would need to insert the Madwheel Ride Chemy card into the card compartment of the Driver in which it will read the card. The user then rotates the compartment back into the wrench section which will then complete the transformation.
It is also worth noting that this particular transformation device does not have a traditional belt but rather is a sidearm weapon.
The DX version of the ValvaradRusher comes with the MadWheel, CutsShovel & HiiRescue Ride Chemy Cards.
Valvaradraw Buckle
To accompany the ValvaradRusher, there is also a Ride Chemy Card holder called the Valvaradraw Holder. In a similar way to how Gotchard has the Gotchardraw Buckle, the Valvaradraw holder also carries cards for Valvarad. The difference between the two is that Gotchardraw Buckle can hold up to 10 cards and is worn on the user’s wrist. Meanwhile, the Valvaradraw Buckle can carry up to 20 Ride Chemy Cards and is worn around the user’s waist in a similar way to a traditional rider belt.
The deluxe toy will becoming with GekioCopter & GorillaSensei Chemy Cards.
Legend Ride Chemy Cards
Legend Rider Ride Chemy Cards are an exciting addition to the Gotchard series which brings on a more immersive experiences for fans alike. Each card features captivating artwork of Legend Riders.
The Legend Cards activate sounds for the DX Gotchard Driver toy. At this stage, it is currently unknown if the Legend Ride Chemy cards will appear on the TV series and, if so, it is also unknown what functions it would trigger in the Driver.
Preorders for all Kamen Rider Gotchard toys will be available from The Toku Source soon so keep your eyes open for updates across our social media.
