Memories Galore! Hurray!

So for my first post on this blog, I have decided to showcase 3 reviews detailing amazing Gaia Memories that are all must haves for any Kamen Rider fan. First up we have the DX Dopant Memory. This toy is beautifully crafted to copy the look of the Terror Memory from Kamen Rider W. Included with the memory are sounds for 26 Dopants including the Sonozakis (Terror, Taboo, Claydoll, Nasca, Smilodon), Weather, and every weekly Dopant from the show starting with Magma and ending with Yesterday, but skipping Zone for whatever reason. The final 2 Dopants are the two from the Decade and W Movie: Dummy and Masquerade. A 27th sound is included to replicate the Dopant transformation. For your viewing pleasure, Bandai has included a Dopant file showing all 26 Dopants and the letter symbol from their memory. Despite the fact that the memory is stuck visually as Terror, no one can go wrong with this purchase which comes in at a VERY reasonable ¥1,200.

Next up is a review for 2 memories from the 3rd Sound Capsule set: Kamen Rider Kuuga and Kamen Rider Kiva. Both memories are excellent additions to any collection of Rider Memories, at least visually. Kuuga's memory comes with 5 sounds: "Kuuga" and the transformations of the 4 main forms: Mighty, Dragon, Titan, and Pegasus. These are all the sounds that are to be expected for Kuuga. Kiva has only 4 sounds, and here's where the disappointment begins. The 4 sounds are: "Kiva", "Gabut", henshin sound, Wake Up Fuestle. There is no "Wake Up" noise and no pre-henshin noise. All in all though, they're very nice Memories and work very well with the W Driver and other memories.

Finally is a review for the 3 Imagin memories that come in the 3rd Sound Capsule set: Urataros, Kintaros, and Ryutaros. All 3 memories are just pretty and have 4 phrases. Urataros says: 1) Mind if I reel you in? 2) A coward? Yeah, people tell me. 3) Not bad. 4) I am born to be cool. Kintaros says: 1) My strength has made you cry. 2) Wipe off your tears. 3) Thank you. (in sumo talk) 4) You will cry! Ryutaros says: 1) Can I kill you? I can't hear your answer. 2) Dance with me. 3) Nobody can beat me if I'm serious. 4) Yay! These memories are fantastic and go great with the Momtaros memory and other Rider Memories. Special thanks to Shuki and Mr. S for translating the phrases.
