Complete Selection Modification

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) (formerly known as Complete Selection) is a series of premium level collectible toys. In this line, Bandai will release a redesign of an already released DX toy, usually that of a Kamen Rider's transformation devices. These new releases have much more detail than the previous DX toy, as they are meant to be very close to the show prop. These toys also have show-accurate functionality i.e. they function just like how the actual device would do so in-show. Because of this, toys released under the CSM line usually come at a high cost.

Each time a new CSM item is about to be released, it's a tradition for the toy's respective user's actor to appear for the promotion. Also, most of the CSM releases have improvements of problems and complaints people had for their original DX toys.

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

Improvements

• CS Typhoon now has a working switch box at the side of the belt making the effect of controlling 1’s New Cyclone.
• CS Arcle now fits older consumers unlike the original DX version which fits younger ones. Additionally, the LED lights would stay on for a while and have a motion sensor. Unlike the DX version, the belt has 8 LED lights in the buckle.
• CS V-Buckle, like the Legends Series version, is more show accurate in terms of color and the Advent Decks are more 3D looking.
• CS Faiz Gear has a more larger look and has die-cast metal parts. However the gears' equipment (Faiz Pointer and Faiz Shot) does not feature any sounds.
• CS Orga Belt now has die-cast metal parts.
• CS Den-O Belt now has voices of the Taros as an option including the volume switch, unfortunately the K-Taros Phone doesn't fit due to the centerpiece being die-cast metal and the size of the buckle was too large for the phone to clip on. The belt includes the Plat Form transformation sound (and lights) as well of having the "Full Charge" sound effects.
• CSM Kabuto Zecter now has a working Clock Up pad as well of having the "Rider Kick" sound effect.
• CSM Decadriver now has new sounds and new Rider Cards for Kamen Riders Double to Drive. Additionally, it has a button that plays two BGM from the series.
• CSM Diendriver now has its own barcode reader and its own set of sounds. The logo on the CSM Diend Belt has a sparkly finish.
• CSM Gatack Zecter would possibly have the same functions as the CSM Kabuto Zecter
• CSM Hyper Zecter has Gatack Zecter's voice in it and the horn is slightly larger than its deluxe counterpart.
• CSM Dark Kabuto Zecter have additional transformation sounds.
• CSM Faiz Gear now has wireless function i.e. the Faiz Driver can interact remotely with the Faiz Pointer and Faiz Shot. The Faiz Pointer also has a more show-accurate leg attachment and a LED projection of the Faiz symbol. The Faiz Driver and Faiz Phone also has more LED lights installed. The Faiz Phone now has more sounds, including several phrases from Takumi.
• CSM Faiz Gear's mold was done by Rainbow, a company that produces show prop grade items that do not make sounds. While similar to the CS release, they do not work with each other.
• CSM New Den-O Belt has the similar functions like the CS Den-O Belt such as the Imagin Mode
• The 10th anniversary CSM Den-O Belt & K-Taros Set now has sounds for G Den-O, Nega form, Liner, Climax and Super Climax form as well as additional accessories to modify the belt to resemble the G Den-O belt and a set of Ride Tickets. The one minor setback is that is does not have any sounds or accessories to activate Wing form, but Sieg's voice is oddly recorded on the K-Taros phone. The Den-O Belt also plays music, specifically Climax Jump and Double-Action, to emulate executing finishers like in the TV show.
• CSM Kaixa Gear has similar features to the Faiz Gear. The blade on the Kaixa Blaygun can be detached from the said weapon. Additionally, the Kaixa Phone has several phrases from Keitaro, Mari, and Kusaka himself.
• CSM OOO Driver Complete Set includes show-accurate designs of all the Core Medals used in the series, obscuring the electronics chip which could be easily seen in the DX releases. The O Scanner now includes sounds from more of OOO's combos, including Tajadol Combo using the cracked Taka Medal, the Renai (Love) Combo, Tamashii Combo, Super Tatoba Combo, as well as the Tatoba Combo of the original OOO. Additionally, it includes the Poseidon Driver along with Poseidon's Core Medals, along with the additional Core Medals that appeared briefly in Movie War Mega Max. It also features concept art by PLEX of the "lost" OOO Combos that the Core Medals from that scene represent. The O Scanner has a button at the side which triggers dialogue between Eiji and Ankh, along with another button at the back which plays background music used in the series.
• CSM V-Buckle now have several phrases from Shinji, Ren, Kitaoka, Tezuka, Asakura, Tojo, Miho, Dark Shinji, and Odin. All of the Advent Cards now have NFC Chip, allowing the Drag Visor to read the cards.

Notes

• The Complete Selection is actually a larger scale than the deluxe version of the belts while the CSM version is a modified version of the deluxe belts with additional features being true to its name.
• For the Lost Driver, there were some errors on the belt (the Eternal Memory with a silver tip and the Maximum Slot with W's logo on the button). However, these errors were fixed.
• For the Double Driver and Accel Driver, 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.
• The Lost Driver and the Fang Memory were the only ones that did not feature an actor promoting the item.
• The Kabuto Zecter's promotion features Seiji Takaiwa, Kabuto's suit actor, instead of Hiro Mizushima, who plays Souji Tendou.
• During the CSM Diendriver promotion video, actor Tatsuhito Okuda, who plays Narutaki, would occasionally say the word "Onore" (おのれ, "Onore"), a nod to his character's catchphrase.
• In the W series, it would be the only one that doesn't feature additional sounds.
• The Diend Belt is the first item to be exclusive to be in this line as it doesn't have its deluxe counterpart (though the item appeared in the form of a candy toy but the scale is smaller).
• The Decadriver and the Diendriver's voices had been re-recorded, however the sounds from both items were not accurate to the show.
• The Faiz Gear is the first transformation belt to be released in both the CS and CSM lines, following by the Den-O Belt and the V-Buckle.
  • Additionally, this is the first item to feature many phrases from one of the characters in the series.
• Both CSM Kabuto and Gatack Zecters have extended rider kick sounds though oddly enough, CSM and DX Gatack Zecter differ when it says "Rider Kick".
• The New Den-O Belt is the first belt to not have a deluxe counterpart.
• The Kaixa Gear's pre-order date, September 13 (9/13), is a nod to its number designation.
• For the Decadriver, there is unused sounds that features the KamenRide cards of Double to Drive. It is unknown if the cards itself would be release.
• CSM Faiz is also the first CSM item to not share the same mold as the DX release.
