Complete Selection Modification

This article is about a toy line in the Kamen Rider Series.

Complete Selection
Show	Kamen Rider Series
Debut year:	2006 (CS) 2013 (CSM)
Released by:	Bandai

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

In December 2019, Bandai held an exhibition to commemorate the CSM line of toys.

The strap lights can change into various colors for added play features.
• CSM Motion Sensor Prototype (CSM The Henshin Exhibition) - 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 (CSM The Henshin Exhibition)- This model showcased advancements in motorized transforming toys and had a steam effect gimmick. 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.

Improvements

Belt	Improvements
CS Typhoon	It has a working switch box at the side of the belt making the effect of controlling 1’s New Cyclone.
CS Arcle	It 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	Much like the Legends Series version is more show accurate in terms of color and the Advent Decks are more 3D looking.
CS Faiz Gear	It has a larger look and has die-cast metal parts. However, the gears' equipment (Faiz Pointer and Faiz Shot) does not feature any sounds.
CS Orga Driver	It has die-cast metal parts.
CS Den-O Belt	It 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	It has a working Clock Up pad as well of having the "Rider Kick" sound effect.
CSM Decadriver	It 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. The Rider Cards now have English text and no longer have the Ganbaride branding on the cards. Additionally, all of the cards are laminated.
CSM Diendriver	It 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	It would possibly have the same functions as the CSM Kabuto Zecter.
CSM Hyper Zecter	It has Gatack Zecter's voice in it and the horn is slightly larger than its deluxe counterpart.
CSM Dark Kabuto Zecter	It has additional transformation sounds.
CSM Faiz Gear	It 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. The molding on the belt 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	It has similar functions like the CS Den-O Belt such as the Imagin Mode. First toy release
CSM Den-O Belt & K-Taros Set	It 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 it 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	It 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	It 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 and the additional future 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 that triggers dialogue between Eiji and Ankh, along with another button at the back which plays background music used in the series.
CSM V-Buckle & DragVisor	It includes several phrases from Shinji, Ren, Kitaoka, Tezuka, Asakura, Tojo, Miho, Dark Shinji, and Odin. All of the Advent Cards now have NFC Chips, replacing the DX version's original method of reading the cards via punched hole combinations. Additionally, the V-Buckle now has pins to read each Advent Deck.
CSM Henshin Belt Arcle	It now comes with two variations of the golden Arcle Armor, one for the Rising forms and one for Ultimate Form, along with additional pieces that can be affixed onto the Arcle to display the belt in Ultimate Form. In addition to more sound effects, the Arcle now also has a button to play background music. It also comes with a toy model of the mobile phone carried by Kaoru Ichijo, which contains voice lines from Ichijo recorded by actor Shingo Katsurayama. Aside from now containing accurate sound effects from the original Kuuga TV series, the CSM Arcle can also switch to "D-Mode", containing sound effects from the original DX release as well as those of the A.R. World Kuuga.
CSM Blay Buckle, Rouze Absorber, & Blay Rouzer	Along with larger size, gloss finish of buckle's symbol is modified. A wireless projector connected to the buckle is included which projects the blue screen through which Blade passes for transformation. Quotes of Kazuma Kenzaki are programmed in Blay Buckle.
CSM Delta Gear	to be added
CSM Amazons Driver	The 'Amazon' roll call of Amazon Riders is played between the triggering of transformation and playing of transformation music. Sigma Condorer Core is included with the pack. A special 'bloodsplit' version of Condorer Core is included.
CSM Double Driver (Ver. 1.5)	Strap has now been altered to be removable from the driver, allowing for an easier way to wear, as well as more show-accurate paint applications to both the Driver and Gaia Memories
CSM Kivat Belt	to be added
CSM Tatsulot	to be added
CSM Aqua Driver	Unknown First toy product
CSM Alternative V-Buckle	Unknown
CSM Garren Buckle Set	Unknown Presumably the same as the Blay Buckle Set
CSM Psyga Gear	Unknown
CSM Orga Gear	Unknown

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, V-Buckle, and Henshin Belt Arcle.
  • 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 were unused sounds that featured the KamenRide cards of Double to Drive. The unused sounds would later be used on the Neo Decadriver instead.
• CSM Faiz is also the first CSM item to not share the same mold as the DX release followed by the V-Buckle.
• CSM OOO Driver actually has the O Scanner re-recorded for the lost Combo's Medals as the DX version of the OOO Scanner can actually scan the medals.
• The toy model of the mobile phone carried by Kaoru Ichijo, used the same model from DX Beat Gouram.
• 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. The actual upcoming CSM product was later revealed to be the CSM Delta Gear the next day.
