Hello! This is Toy Planet, a recycled toy shop.
This time, we will talk about damage to Kamen Rider belts.
Heisei and Reiwa Kamen Riders have had new series produced every year since Kuuga in 2000.
Along with that, toys are also released every year.
Among these, the flagship item that represents the series is, of course, the transformation belt.
They are equipped with gimmicks that link with key items designed for each series, and we are impressed every year.
However, the belt part of these transformation belts that wraps around the waist often breaks!
Why do belts break?
The main reason Kamen Rider belts break is deterioration over time.
Belts are made of soft plastic materials such as polyethylene,
but after a few years, they harden and become prone to breaking.
In addition to aging, plastic is also susceptible to UV rays and temperature changes, so
be careful about where you store your toys, such as not placing toy boxes in direct sunlight.
They can fade and become brittle.
Even with new products, be careful when storing them tightly rolled up.
If continuous strong tension is applied to the belt, it can also easily break or tear.
Even if the belt breaks, it may not be because your child played roughly,
so please don't scold them (lol).
A broken transformation belt... Repair or replacement?
If a toy you're playing with breaks, you would normally consult the manufacturer's support.
Depending on the circumstances when it broke, unless it's a manufacturing defect, it's highly likely to be a paid repair or replacement.
Furthermore, if it's a toy from a series that has already ended, the manufacturer may not even have it in stock.
Even if you say "it's from a Kamen Rider series 3 years ago...", there might not be any replacement parts available in the first place.
In such cases, you'll have no choice but to try and repair it yourself or buy the same product.
However, buying toys from past series can be surprisingly difficult, precisely because even the manufacturers don't have them.
If you can just replace the broken part, that would be better, wouldn't it?
Buying Kamen Rider belt replacement/repair parts!
Our shop sells parts separately to support toy replacement and repair.
We aim to address not only torn belts but also various other conditions.
- Lost battery cover
- Lost belt stopper
- Partial damage to the main body
A toy that's partially broken or missing a part might still be playable!
Why not bring it back to life with replacement parts?
Don't throw away toys you're done playing with
Even toys that have been repaired or had parts replaced may eventually reach the end of their playtime.
When that happens, please don't throw them away. Instead, apply for our home delivery purchase service.
The toys we purchase are cleaned using our unique method and passed on to the next owner.
This may seem like a small thing, but it is a step towards realizing a circular economy.
Come on, let's "reuse Japanese toys"!
