The primary toy from the newest Kamen Rider series, the DX Drive Driver is the most technologically advanced Kamen Rider toy to date.

Another toy from Kamen Rider Drive, the DX Break Gunner is used by Machine Chaser, the primary rival in the series.

It uses evil versions of Shift Cars known as Viral Cores, but also works with standard Drive Shift Cars. The Break Gunner comes with the Bat Viral Core, but two other viral cores can be bought separately in the Viral Core Set. The DX Break Gunner and Viral Core Set are available from specialty toy retailers including CSToys, Hobby Link Japan, Hobby Search Japan, and Japan Hero Collectibles.

For a 60-year old kaiju, this guy can MOVE. And by move, I mean pose!
