Guess Christmas came early for Actar here! I can just IMAGINE his face slowly transitioning from "utterly stunned" to "this is the best day of my life" after that Warp-Digivolution sequence in the intro. xD
Thank you so much for posting this! I recently got one of thes, and even 8 years later this video is super helpful to help me know what the digimon are saying. Great video! Now I don’t have to learn Japanese
I really appreciate you making this video and brings an old guy like me who's a big giant Digimon fan Joy lots of old Joy this is my youth right here I seen every single Digimon anime out there I have every single game sadly I lost my toys my action figures but I was able to keep two of my digivices and some of the cards and my movie when it came out in VHS now I have to start all over but you want to know something it's okay because my kids love Digimon more than Pokemon and I'm proud I'm actually proud
This review is just great!! It's an amazing work of Bandai and the first Digivice that's not just a "toy for kids" but for real collectors! Thank you for this nice feedback to the digivice! I can't wait to get it too ;) oh and thanks for the translations!
Your intro in the beginning made me laugh so hard & after watching the whole video when you talk about the CSA Digivice, i feel like getting one as part of my Digimon collections. Role play or not, still is a memorial in the 90s anime. You did a excellect preview on this Digivice. Keep it up!!!
I never grew up with Digimon. But something about this... I don't know, its that deep, happy feeling I couldn't really describe. I would actually get this. (If i have the money)
hey, Actar, If you look closely to the mirror screen when you play brave heart, you can see that Evolution bar, it's just moving away from the front, kinda into the digivice
I had to say they did really well on this Digivice. My first 1 Digimon toy digivice is 1 purple white D3. At that time we would only be able to play it as a Tamagotchi. I so want the Original Choosen Children digivice. But seeing it was different to the anime ver, I decided not too. This however was almost exact same as the one in the anime. When I reached your recap of all the digimon voices I was all teared up. Those recorded voice over was just fantastic! Sadly, it is too expansive for me. I might have to wait years for someone to resell it with low prices OR when I am successful enough to spend money buying it. I still plan to have it though. No matter how long it takes. Just for the sakes of Nostalgia if anything. Digimon is one of those childhood memories very dear to me, I don't think I want to say farewell to it even when I am old. Thank you for the review!
Note that since this review, an improved version (CSA Digivice Ver. 1999) that focuses solely on the original anime has been released and it's phenomenal. While it has some flaws, it contains additional features, songs and dialogue, making it THE definitive version of the CSA Digivice. See it here: ruclips.net/video/EdHMFHXc4P0/видео.html
My god that was so cool. I almost shed a tear there. Great digivice and reminded me of how much I loved digimon. Until season 5 came at a time where people were drunk on Pokemon to not care, channel times were awful, it ended where we could have gotten a season 5.2 and the less said about season six and it's second season the better. Bottom line awesome digivice.
Huh. A few months ago, i bought one of the anniversary D-arcs. Basically the same thing. A faithful recreation of the screen used device, cards included.
I think one legit complaint is that it doesn't have Tailmon's rookie to champion/adult evolution, as it DID appear in the original show. Admittedly, it was only once, but it's still fair game. But WOW, I so need to track this thing down. Beautiful.
Not wanting to sound like I'm bragging or anything, but I can also speak Mandarin and a little bit of Malay with English being my first language and Japanese technically being my fourth. (^.^;) I really appreciate your viewership and am glad that my video was able to help you out!
First off it's so good to see another review from you. You are one of my favorite reviewers and I could watch you every day. Secondly this is simply an astonishing piece and id love to have it. Where can I get one and how much do they go for. And finally in the group shot of products you showed what is the boxed figure. I couldn't get a good look at it but it looked really cool. Thanks again Actar and I look forward to your next review.
+Toy Man 1976 Thank you so much for your kind comments! (^o^) With regard to the boxed figure, that's the Japanese Jogress Evolving Omegamon figure where you could form Omegamon from separate WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon figures. While the design and concept are undoubtedly amazing, the figure had a production flaw where the pearl white plastic, that much of it is made out of, is extremely brittle - causing the arms, legs and various other pieces to crumble and break off upon the lightest play. Coupled with the fact that it saw a very limited release, I was lucky to find one Mint in Sealed Box on auction many years ago. (^.^;)
I wish I hadn’t gotten rid of my old Digivices. I don’t remember why I got rid of them, since I did like Digimon. I basically only watched Digimon the Movie and played with toys and cards until I watched Adventure online and fell in love. And that makes sense because Digimon was always intended to be a teenager show, but the muricans dumbed it down. I love the dub though. I’m not a whiny baby. And I know the difference between rapping and singing.
I watch dub when I was kid... but when I teenage... I watch back in sub... it bring back my childhood memories and everytime evolution ost play... my eyes come to tear as in dub they didn't change it
its a cool item i admit but a bit to pricey for me still having a digimon version of the complete selection later called complet selection modfication line is kinda cool i hope they release a CSA D3 at somepoint also cool decadriver btw.
Actar Raikrit is such a hard name to remember. With 20.000 subs you could change your channel name into something easier to remember, maybe "Actar Reviews". Loved the video, thanks for all the info :)
I will never understand why Holydramon is the expected evolution of Angewomon. Without the tail ring, sure maybe Holydramon would be suitable, but now that she has her Tailring again I had hoped for Ophanimon. It just makes more sense.
I just stumbled across this review. didn't even know this product existed. thanks so very much. also as an insignificant side note and with no intended offense: I'm not sure where you're from (your accent is unfamiliar and I am typically pretty good recognizing accents) but your English is superb. I couldn't help but think of how many people I know here in the states whom you totally Trump in vocabulary and pronunciation. again, thanks.
Thank you very much for the compliments! (^.^) I come from Singapore where speaking "good" English is considered important for communicating on a global stage. (Though, I can't say I'm much of a prescriptivist myself.) On an unrelated note, out of pure, unadulterated curiosity, was that capital "T" in "Trump" a deliberate play on words, a Freudian slip or the fault of auto-correct? I had a pretty good chuckle. (^.^;)
Como desearía ver ese merchandising acá en Argentina (buenos aires) a todos los locales que voy, apenas si posters venden, o algún Pin, todos dicen que estás cosas son difíciles de conseguir y si traen, rondan por arriba de los 3000 pesos
+dan uphoff I have to agree. They went back up on Play-Asia.com recently... for 155$ plus S&H. X___X Even the $89.51 on the official Bandai website is ridiculous IMO (nvm that's not factoring s&h charges). For what is essentially a light-up *"accessory"* that talks, that's a steep price tag. Don't get me wrong; I still want one if only for nostalgic value, but its far outside my current budget, even post-tax refunds :( Maybe I'm just weird, but I always liked the little Tamogatchi-like minigames that the originals came with. I actually kinda miss them... I've seen things like them showing up on phones and whatnot, and NeoPets was apparently somewhat close to that, but its still not the same thing :\
there's a site called mandarake, you'd have to use google translate to tell what you're reading but it's basically a websites for stores directly in japan and they don't usually have scalper prices. I saw all the digivices there for like $110-$120 or so new in box.
Edit: I was wrong, I paid $190.20 for it. I paid almost exactly $165 CAD for it. I don’t know where you live, but that’s even less in American dollars. Unfortunately, I think the guy was only selling the one.
Thanks! I was looking for this kind of video and it is more then I aspected. I really love this item, and even if I grow up with the Italian version of Digimon, it sounds familiar anyway. Unfortunately Digimon in Italy is forbidden, so I'm praying for seeing Digimon Adventure Tri. here one day. If can I ask you something, would you please tell me where did you buy this product? Anyway, great work, man! Many thanks!
I think I got the older version. The one that just has Tai, Matt, and Sora on it. I really wanted all 8 but I can't find that one anywhere, I'll keep looking.
hmmm was going to get this but thank goodness I saw this video it's not worth it it's all audio and lights thought it would be really cool because of the price
As cool as this is, the audio highlights a problem with the Japanese version of Digimon that the English dub fixed IMO, and that's how the Digimon's voices don't change enough as they Digivolve, where as in the English dub, the voices change significantly to fit how the Digimon get bigger and stronger as they Digivolve
So because I’m a nerd and a stoner, I have an alarm set for 4:20 PM which is that Digivice beeping, and I’m now waiting for the day when the Digivice goes off right at 4:20 😂 Maybe I should keep it on Palmon.
Love your video, you have a new suscriber. I have a silly question; you showed us all the sounds and lights, but, does this digivice works as a, lets say, tamagotchi too? You know, you walk, fight with other digimons, the digievolutions and stuff? Or is it just sounds and lights?
Holy shit, RUclips actually kept what I was watching open and its actually been not opened for at least half an hour! Are they fixing their app or is that just crazy talk? Find out on the next Digimon: Digital Monsters!
if you try to force agumon like that it'll turn to skullgreymon
Oh yeah your right
Damn your so right
Skullgraymon looks cool but he’s a dickhead
I am laughing way too hard at this.
what about black wargraymon
Wow.....Y’know what I love about the Digimon remotes is how it lights up in many ways seeing how it’s colorful...pretty amazing stuff
Guess Christmas came early for Actar here! I can just IMAGINE his face slowly transitioning from "utterly stunned" to "this is the best day of my life" after that Warp-Digivolution sequence in the intro. xD
+BlueJavelin Tell me about it! I was so anxious for it to arrive that I kept refreshing the tracking info page every 5 minutes. (^.^;)
"Finally!" haha, that intro was the best!
I love the "Omegamon" part with the lights to represent the arms of Metalgarurumon and Wargreymon.
Thank you so much for posting this! I recently got one of thes, and even 8 years later this video is super helpful to help me know what the digimon are saying. Great video! Now I don’t have to learn Japanese
Oh my god i feel like crying right now
I was crying and say every digivolution with the voices haha XDDD
Me too 💔😢😢😢😭
Me too its really exited awesome. I love it
Oh my god me too!!
日本人なので何言ってるかはよくわからないけどデジモンに対する愛だけは伝わりました
もしかしたらこちらの言葉もわからないかもしれませんが、こらからも頑張って下さい
I really appreciate you making this video and brings an old guy like me who's a big giant Digimon fan Joy lots of old Joy this is my youth right here I seen every single Digimon anime out there I have every single game sadly I lost my toys my action figures but I was able to keep two of my digivices and some of the cards and my movie when it came out in VHS now I have to start all over but you want to know something it's okay because my kids love Digimon more than Pokemon and I'm proud I'm actually proud
This review is just great!! It's an amazing work of Bandai and the first Digivice that's not just a "toy for kids" but for real collectors! Thank you for this nice feedback to the digivice! I can't wait to get it too ;) oh and thanks for the translations!
Palmon and gomamon's dialogue made me cry a little ;;;
Haha, that intro was awesome! Always great to see another review from you - I've been really looking forward to this review in particular!
Your intro in the beginning made me laugh so hard & after watching the whole video when you talk about the CSA Digivice, i feel like getting one as part of my Digimon collections.
Role play or not, still is a memorial in the 90s anime. You did a excellect preview on this Digivice. Keep it up!!!
Amazing! This is perhaps the most wanted toy!
Holydramon/Magnadramon has been confirmed!
Yeah but Ophanimon fallen mode too...
Holydramon >>>> Ofanimon
Wooooo!!!! I Love Holydramon!!!!
^_^
SakuraFoxFurry It's Holydramon!!! The Final Trailer Has Been Released!!! Woo!!!
I never grew up with Digimon. But something about this... I don't know, its that deep, happy feeling I couldn't really describe. I would actually get this. (If i have the money)
hey, Actar, If you look closely to the mirror screen when you play brave heart, you can see that Evolution bar, it's just moving away from the front, kinda into the digivice
Well... I'm definitely getting this as soon as it hits my third party site of choice now.
I had to say they did really well on this Digivice. My first 1 Digimon toy digivice is 1 purple white D3. At that time we would only be able to play it as a Tamagotchi.
I so want the Original Choosen Children digivice. But seeing it was different to the anime ver, I decided not too.
This however was almost exact same as the one in the anime.
When I reached your recap of all the digimon voices I was all teared up. Those recorded voice over was just fantastic!
Sadly, it is too expansive for me. I might have to wait years for someone to resell it with low prices OR when I am successful enough to spend money buying it. I still plan to have it though. No matter how long it takes. Just for the sakes of Nostalgia if anything.
Digimon is one of those childhood memories very dear to me, I don't think I want to say farewell to it even when I am old.
Thank you for the review!
9:11 Taichi! You've gotten big!
+zekkoukyo ...and yes, the double entendre works in Japanese too.
Huge Digimon fan I will like to get a digidevice myself.
Note that since this review, an improved version (CSA Digivice Ver. 1999) that focuses solely on the original anime has been released and it's phenomenal.

When you first cut to the sleep mode phrases, my Digivice beeped slightly after yours did for Agumon.
I've been watching this since I was 9 I love your videos so much
you got a new subscriber from Malaysia. Keep it up bro!
I WANT THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
ALSO CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO SHOW THE LOST MEGA EVOLUTIONS.
I am cry by just watching this. So beautiful
My god that was so cool. I almost shed a tear there. Great digivice and reminded me of how much I loved digimon. Until season 5 came at a time where people were drunk on Pokemon to not care, channel times were awful, it ended where we could have gotten a season 5.2 and the less said about season six and it's second season the better. Bottom line awesome digivice.
I love it. I'm treating myself to one for my birthday.
When he pushed the button and the music picked up I said to myself: Ohhhh this is fucking amazing!
Huh. A few months ago, i bought one of the anniversary D-arcs. Basically the same thing. A faithful recreation of the screen used device, cards included.
I think one legit complaint is that it doesn't have Tailmon's rookie to champion/adult evolution, as it DID appear in the original show. Admittedly, it was only once, but it's still fair game.
But WOW, I so need to track this thing down. Beautiful.
Aaron Thall it's on Amazon for $200 🎍😅
You speak japanese AND english?
You have the power of the world, dude. xD
Awesome review, actually considering buying it! ^^
Not wanting to sound like I'm bragging or anything, but I can also speak Mandarin and a little bit of Malay with English being my first language and Japanese technically being my fourth. (^.^;) I really appreciate your viewership and am glad that my video was able to help you out!
Actar Raikit Thats a lot :o. Really cool! And you are very welcome =)
Wow 4 years ago but this video so gold I like you agree like here!
Don't think for a second that I didn't see the Princess Perfume from Princess Precure on your desk. :P I love it~
First time watching a video of yours and i have to admit... It's super awesome. You earned a sub dude.

I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED TO GET ONE ASAP
I watch dub when I was kid... but when I teenage... I watch back in sub... it bring back my childhood memories and everytime evolution ost play... my eyes come to tear as in dub they didn't change it
i cried listening to agumon and gabumon voice.......digimon final evolution...
its a cool item i admit but a bit to pricey for me still having a digimon version of the complete selection later called complet selection modfication line is kinda cool i hope they release a CSA D3 at somepoint also cool decadriver btw.
Can't wait for the new digivice
make more video about latest digivice of digimon
Love it, want one! And when you turned the device on I jumped as that's my phone's ringtone XD
Actar Raikrit is such a hard name to remember. With 20.000 subs you could change your channel name into something easier to remember, maybe "Actar Reviews".

Wow awesome vid man
I wish they would do this with the D3 and an LED screen.
They are making a new replica of the D3 digivice, it showed it in the advertisement paper
+Team Light Crusade what about seasons 3-5
+CantonGames and movies They are only doing the adventure series
+Jay Pate get these???? omg its the crap
I don't care this message was automatically generated by Gmail

Oh my God its so COOL!!! Gosh~ i really love that digivice and i really really want it! Thanks for making this video, its so awesome n incredible!
"Taichi, I'm starving!!" That is awesome.
And I really enjoy the Palmon's voice in Tri, hit my heart.
Holy shit, best intro ever! :D
I got that one complete set animation. Got the digivice d3 blue but would like the first one. So costly.Worth it.? More time pass more costs xD
OMG this is so awesome i am so exited
I may not be an adult yet but man this a nostalgic punch to the guts
Wish it would have a game in it but still love it can't wait till mine gets here !
09:48 OMG PIYOMON KNOWS WHO SORA IS GONNA CHOOSE HOLY CRAP WE WILL GET A CLEAR ANSWER
Best intro ever ^^ love it
I love this Review!!
Deu até vontade de ter um 🥰
Como desearía ver ese merchandising acá en Argentina (buenos aires) a todos los locales que voy, apenas si posters venden, o algún Pin, todos dicen que estás cosas son difíciles de conseguir y si traen, rondan por arriba de los 3000 pesos
whoaaa this is amazing!!
The D-Scanner digivice is known as the D-tector digivice in the States
This is soooooooooooo cool! i have to get myself this!
I want this, but its not worth over 100 bucks :( and everyone wants over 165. My wife would kill me lol
+dan uphoff Yeah, the secondary market prices are pretty crazy. There's a second shipment in March, so don't lose hope just yet!
+dan uphoff Whatas a good site to buy at then?
+dan uphoff I have to agree. They went back up on Play-Asia.com recently... for 155$ plus S&H. X___X Even the $89.51 on the official Bandai website is ridiculous IMO (nvm that's not factoring s&h charges). For what is essentially a light-up *"accessory"* that talks, that's a steep price tag.

I miss the digivice I had when I was a child
Way cool glad to see it
Yeah... Okay, I think I might just try to build this thing myself once my 3D printer is set up...
Thanks! I was looking for this kind of video and it is more then I aspected. I really love this item, and even if I grow up with the Italian version of Digimon, it sounds familiar anyway.

hmmm was going to get this but thank goodness I saw this video it's not worth it it's all audio and lights thought it would be really cool because of the price
Digimon is my favorite anime ever
love the song on the digivice I want one X3
You need get the full version of it, where Meiko and Meicoomon are too :3
I so need one of these
Its great. only needs the stripes on teh screen and maybe Omegamon merciful mode with instrumental butterfly but I guess you cant have perfection :D
nice review maan...i really like your reviewing style lol...btw do u wanna make some sh figuarts digimon review??i can't wait for it btw lol...
The "30 second clip of butterfly" is the whole song
+Munching Orange Nope. The whole song is 3 minutes and 40 seconds long. Besides, it's 30 seconds of Brave Heart and 90 seconds of Butter-Fly.
As cool as this is, the audio highlights a problem with the Japanese version of Digimon that the English dub fixed IMO, and that's how the Digimon's voices don't change enough as they Digivolve, where as in the English dub, the voices change significantly to fit how the Digimon get bigger and stronger as they Digivolve
KRX50 not neceserrily true
The voices change after digivolve bro
I want a digivice now!🐺🇬🇧
$218... *sighs* sorry Digimon I can't do it
+Nano Shifter well, brought mine at carousell at S140 dollars today
jowy87 still that seems a bit much for me right now :/. Maybe if I wait until Christmas this year...
@@NanoShifter I want one ;-;
Actar Why isn’t it playing to try version of butterfly OC why you silenced it because of copyright reasons
This is great... But i was expecting something more than only sounds and lights .. such as a game that might be we could play like previous one
You have the LCD pedometer games for that. This is an actual replica that recreates what the Digivice does in the show.
I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE
great vid
So because I’m a nerd and a stoner, I have an alarm set for 4:20 PM which is that Digivice beeping, and I’m now waiting for the day when the Digivice goes off right at 4:20 😂
Maybe I should keep it on Palmon.
There is only *one* thing that this Digivice cannot do...
GIVE ME MY OWN DIGIMON PARTNER! 😭
ok brave heart is my favorite music of all time to bad we didn't get it in the us because that would have been awesome
Love your video, you have a new suscriber. I have a silly question; you showed us all the sounds and lights, but, does this digivice works as a, lets say, tamagotchi too? You know, you walk, fight with other digimons, the digievolutions and stuff? Or is it just sounds and lights?
+Mauricio Ballén Thank you very much! (^o^) With regard to your question, it's just lights and sounds.
Holy shit, RUclips actually kept what I was watching open and its actually been not opened for at least half an hour!
Are they fixing their app or is that just crazy talk?
Find out on the next Digimon: Digital Monsters!
this digivice uses Tailmon instead of Gatomon which makes it more amazing coz Tailmon sound nice than Gatomon
Agumon warp Shika
Wargreymon
my God that's awesome
were can I buy some I been searching for them I love digimon growing up I wanted one but never had a chance to get one
聞いていて気持ちが良い
Holydramon confirmed!
