Kamen Rider Den-O - DX Zeronos Belt

Long ago, in 2007, I inadvertently fell in love with Kamen Rider because of a fanart posted by one of my favorite Avatar: The Last Airbender fanartists.  The fanart was of Kamen Rider Den-O.  Three years later, I would obtain henshin belts from that series.  This is one of those belts.  Say hello to the Zeronos belt.

Out of the pair of Den-O belts I had bought, this was the one I opened first.  It was used but not damaged in any way.  As you can see, it looks like what you would expect the Zeronos belt to look like.  The belt comes with a case to keep Zeronos cards in and comes with only one Zeronos card.

One side is for Altair form and the other side is for Vega.  Now, I'm not going to go into a lot of detail because this belt is very basic.  Unlike the Double Driver, the Den-O belts are really just belts.  Really big, exceptionally gaudy belts.  When you push the button to turn the belt on, it makes sounds, you then slide the slide button at the top of the belt to the right, push a Zeronos card into it, and it'll take the card and make the appropriate sounds.  Fair enough, right?  Here's what it looks like when you do the motions for transforming:

Belt on.

Pull out card.

Run card through slot (after pushing the slider over).

Altair form.

Or...

Vega form.

My biggest problem with this belt isn't so much that it's kind of useless (it really is pretty useless, by the way), but the fact that the cards, when fed through the card slot, tend to either go through to hard and fast or not hard or fast enough.  It has nothing to do with the user's strength, either.  There have been times when I've used to much strength and the card won't go through at all, or I'll use too much strength and the card will get flung through way too fast.  This goes for using too little strength, as well.  It's really weird.  The card catcher at the other end of the card slot doesn't really do that great of a job catching the cards, either.

To be frank, I'm not very impressed with this belt at all.  I love Den-O with all my heart, but these belts are really just too simple.  The newer belts are so much more sophisticated compared to this, and because I started off buying the more sophisticated belts before these, I feel like this (and the Den-O System belt) are complete let-downs.  If you like collecting Den-O items, then you'll probably want this just for the nostalgia factor, but if you're wanting a ton of bang for your buck, this belt is not what you're looking for.
