Kamen Rider (aka Masked Rider)

Manufacturer: Banpresto

1. The set in the first pic are unusual. There's no date on the tags, but they appear to be very old. They are very low-cost prizes, and my guess is that they're from 1990 or 1991. They're about 4 inches tall. Stronger, Rider X & V3 are pictured. There was another set like this with Amazon & V3.

2. & 3. These come from the second official KR series from August of 1992. There were five, including three KRs and two villains. Amazon and Kamen Rider X in pic 2, a villain and Kamen Rider are in pic 3. These are about 7 inches tall.

4. This one comes from a set of 6, which included 3 Kamen Riders and 3 motorcycles which the plushes could sit on. Pretty cool idea, but these are hard to come by. The only one I've found is KR V3.

5. These two are made of a parachute material, and were originally released back in March of 94. In addition to Kamen Rider & V3 shown below, Amazon, Shocker, & one more were in the set.

6. - 8. In 1997, there was a great memorial set of ten Kamen Riders. Pic 6 is one of my favorite catcher toys - Kamen Rider with a removable helmet! In pic 7, you'll see  Kamen Rider RX Black, Kamen Rider V3, & Amazon. Pic 8 has Rider X & Super 1 from this set. These are just over 8 inches tall.

9. Kamen Rider DX - 1999 - The DX line is a special series of larger plush toys. This particular example measures about 12 inches tall, including the antennae. This one was available on it's own, with no other KRs in the series.

10. Kamen Rider DX Figurines - 1999 - These excellent Deluxe figures of Kamen Rider V1 & V2 stand 10 inches tall, and wear real cloth scarves around their necks.
