Logo-supersentaiThis article is about a cross-series toyline in the Super Sentai series.

Sentai Hero is a line of 6.5 to 7-inch scale Sofubi (vinyl) figures in static standing pose, in all cases (except for the Abare Mode figures). The line allows collectors of the Super Sentai series to collect a standard-looking team that grows annually. In all cases, except for its first incarnation as Gaoranger, one can collect all the core rangers as well as the sixth rangers. Super modes vary in availability as while some series feature all the rangers, many feature an incomplete set of super modes.

The line is well-praised for its design aesthetic, featuring a consistent look all through the years that very closely resembles the sentai/ranger suits.

Starting from The King-Ohger line, the toys are downscaled to 13.5-14cm, with the price point being changed from 1300 yen to a more affordable 600/700 yen.

Gaoranger[]

Gaoranger

Gaoranger began the line with only two ranger figures and a villain. Lacking the rest of the ranger figures, it is the least 'collectible' of the line, but is notable for being the pioneer of the cross-line trend.

Hurricaneger[]

Hurricaneger Sentai Vinyl Figure

Hurricanger

The Hurricaneger line carried all the main rangers and basically stopped there, not including any other costumed characters. To represent the fact all main rangers get a figure, each figure is numbered on the packaging.

Abaranger[]

The first and the last pre-posed figures came with the Abaranger series.

Abaranger added super modes to the Sentai Hero line. The pre-posed look however, began and ended in this series as well.

Gokaiger[]

Gokaiger Sentai Vinyl Figure

Gokaiger

Gokaiger featured two lines, the Gokaigers themselves and a second 'Legend Sentai Hero' series, which were rereleases, retools or completely new Sentai Hero figures of past sentai, either as red or sixth rangers. ALL figures are polybagged without a accessories or left "hanging".

Gokaiger was the first series to have a figure not come entirely close to show-accurate paint as its GokaiSilver Gold Mode has multiple sixth ranger helmets on his armor left unpainted.

Legend Sentai Hero Series

Sh-legendmagired

The hardest hit in terms of a retool was MagiRed who lost his ability to turn his head, and had his cape (and MagiStick) now molded onto his body.

These feature past reds or sixths. The 'legend' in the term does not refer necessarily to specific character appearances in the show, though all these sentai suits have appeared as part of their transformations.

The first five figures, as well as GaoSilver, are mostly retooled from the original versions in order to avoid the use of an accessory/sidearm. The four that came after are entirely new sculpts (also with molded on sidearms). The final three are straight-up rereleases with inferior paint aps (with the exception of the final figure Go-On Red).

All figures come with Dice-O cards on their first released.

Go-Busters[]

Go-Busters Sentai Vinyl Figure

Go-Busters also featured two lines, one for the Go-Busters themselves and a second 'Super Sound Buddy Roid (SSBL)', which featured the Buddy Roids, which have varying moulds.
