Review: Necrom Ulorder

Tengan... Necrom! Mega Ulord!

-Dances to the rocking music-

Oh... hello there! Don't mind me :D

Today we have a lovely little wrist mounted Driver!

Throughout Kamen Rider and Super Sentai, I've got to be honest, I adore the wrist mounted gear... I know it's not for everyone, but I love them!


This time round though, is the Mega Ulorder for Kamen Rider Necrom. Tertiary Rider in the Ghost series with a very different Driver from the others.


The Ghost Driver had a little style to it, and I did have it in my collection for a while, with every single Eyecon I could get my hands on, but recently sold it to jump on the Ex-Aid wagon! Definitely the right move :D

While not sporting the face the Ghost Driver had under that rubbery plastic cover, the Necrom Brace still carries the Eye theme, by being modeled after an... eye dropper!


Yeah, I know, random, but it works! Honest!

Primarily black and green, with shades of silver on the Eyecon housing, and a drop of orange on the dropper -ba dum tish...- the Brace is both subtle, and standyouty (That's a real word! I swear!)

The Necrom Eyecon shares the paint scheme, with a black body, green details and lens and a silver frame. Really makes it pop against the rest of the Eyecons! Which is you know, the one time you want your eyes to pop...

I'll stop now :P


We also have here Grimm and Sanzo! Eyecon 14 and 15, while 95% of the Eyecons don't interact with the Necrom Brace, these two have little pegs on their underside, which trigger alternate sounds in the Brace.

You see, the Brace itself just cycles sound, unless one of the buttons at the bottom of the Eyecon well is pressed. If neither of them are pressed, it just assumes a regular Eyecon is inserted, so gives you the line "Tengan...Ghost... Mega Ulord!" and not much else!


Necrom presses both of these buttons, Grimm the right, and Sanzo the left, all 3 have their own sounds from the Brace, though Necroms are also from the Eyecon itself.

The Brace has a funky little light show when you press the dropper to complete Henshin or Attack sequences. Reminds me a little of 90's disco's! #Datedreference

To operate the Driver, you'll want to strap it to your forearm using the two straps provided with the set. Of course you'll need tiny arms for them to fit, so you're best off getting extenders or replacing the straps entirely.

Hit the little on/off switch on the right side (right side when dropper is pointing towards your hand), then if using Necroms Eyecon, press the button once. You should get an evil sounding "Standby", if you don't, cycle through till you hear "Destroy!", then the next press will be "Standby".

Drop (not literally) the Eyecon into the great big hole in the middle of the Brace, and push it down till it clicks, there are little clasps on either side that hold the Eyecon in place.

Press the big green button on the side to start the Henshin, if using Necrom the Eyecon will shout out "Loading!", and the music will change to what I can only describe as Techno, so easy to dance to!

Next step isn't essential, it operates in both positions, but you can either leave the Brace flat, or twist it upright (this method was used during the show, only time Necrom was activated without twisting the Brace was in Kamen Rider Ghost RE:BIRTH: Kamen Rider Specter when using the Yujou Burst Eyecon). After you decide which position, simply press the button on the dropper.

Tengan Necrom! Mega Ulord! -music music music- Crush Invaders!

Really the light show is just gorgeous :)


You can follow that up with the final attack. Just press the green button on the side again, if using Necrom you'll get "Destroy!" but with a loading kind of noise. Press the dropper and you'll hear "Dai Tengan... Necrom! Omega Ulord!" followed by some rather screechy sounds, which I assume to be attack noises.

So roundup time!

It's a Brace, massive tick in the box, but as I said, you'll need small arms to get the straps round, easily replaced though!

It's black and green with hints of silver, not a pattern you see very often with Riders!

The sheer number of Eyecons available can be really offputting, but as only 3 interact with this Driver, the rest are all just generic noise, it's not really an issue!

Also for giggles, try using the Mugen Eyecon with this... it looks so daft!

Evil voice... always a good sign in a Driver! But definately needed more work... things do feel ever so slightly basic...

You know, forget everything I just said, i'm biased towards tertiary Riders, they always end up being the most badass in the series!
