INFORMATION
The "Arcle Super Ancient Petrified Version," a reproduction of the design of the transformation belt from "Kamen Rider Kuuga" as it appeared when it was unearthed from ancient times, is now available for pre-order! Pre-orders will begin at 4 PM on Thursday, May 7th, 2026 at the official Bandai Namco Group online store, "Premium Bandai"!
The "Arcle" transformation belt from the 2000 Kamen Rider Kuuga series is being commercialized for the first time as the "Ancient Petrified Version," recreating its petrified state as it appeared in the first episode, when it was unearthed from ancient times! Using the mold from the "CSM Transformation Belt Arcle ver.25th" released in February 2026, some parts have been newly sculpted, and a special paint has been applied to give it a stone-like texture, resulting in a heavy and impressive transformation belt.
The special stone paint has a matte, thin, and uneven texture that closely resembles the feel of fossils. Instead of a solid color, it is painted with fine particles to create an appearance that is uneven and weathered, making it suitable for close-up viewing.
Furthermore, the design fills in the speaker and sensor holes that were missing on the "CSM Transformation Belt Arcle ver.25th," and the visual of the belt strap being damaged has also been reproduced with a new design. Together with the already released "CSM Transformation Belt Arcle," this item allows you to immerse yourself in the world of "Kamen Rider Kuuga."
