The Rider Hero Series is a series of soft vinyl Kamen Rider figures released by Bandai. It was started in the year 2000 and continues to exist as of today. Almost every Rider form from every Rider series has been released in this toyline. However, the figures have very little articulation, making play-ability very limited. Most Rider Hero Series figures have a card hung onto the back, which gives some details about the Rider. Some of the Rider Hero Series figures of past Showa and Heisei Kamen Riders have been re-released by Bandai under the new name Legend Rider Series.
