The Legend Rider Series Henshin Belts (レジェンドライダーシリーズ 変身ベルト,Rejendo Raidā Shirīzu Henshin Beruto) were a budget line of electronic toy belts created by Bandai that started in 2008. It is a continuation of the 2004 line, Rider Henshin Belt Series (ライダー変身ベルトシリーズ,Raidā Henshin Beruto Shirīzu), with some updates such as the new standardized belt notches. The line was eventually cancelled in 2010 and replaced by the short-lived Triple Change Henshin Series.
In 2021, Bandai revived the toyline as the Legend Henshin Belt Series (レジェンド変身ベルトシリーズ,Rejendo Henshin Beruto Shirīzu). The first releases were the Typhoon and Arcle belts for the 50th anniversary of Kamen Rider. While it shares many of the same belts as the previous series, the toys are completely redone and are not re-releases.
Similar to the Kamen Rider Ryuki Henshin Belt V Buckle 2002 release with some changes:
The chrome finish has been replaced with a silver finish.
Includes Ryuki, Knight, and Ouja Card Decks. Also, their respective Final Vent cards. The cards do not have punched out holes to be used with roleplay toys. Notable for having a dark blue colored Knight Card Deck instead of the previous brighter blue release.
