## Toylines

### Super Ballistic Series (Various, 1988-2001)

The original toyline produced by Takara for the series in 1988, the Super Ballistic (*超弾動*) series of figures featured removable armor that could be swapped between figures, a flexible, spring-and-band-based frame, and interlocking hands and ankles, with weapons included on plastic sprue trees. The line was made up of 12\* figures and would see rerelease in multiple countries as the franchise reached new audiences and markets, including Giochi Preziosi as "*5 Samurai*" (Spain), Gig as "*I 5 Samurai*" (Italy), Bandai/Playmates as "*Samurai Warriors*" (Spain, Portugal, and South America), Playmates Toys and later Re:Play as "Ronin Warriors" (United States).:

* Rekka no Ryo
* Korin no Seiji
* Tenku no Touma
* Suiko no Shin
* Kongo no Shuu
* Shuten Doji
* Naaza
* Anubisu
* Rajura
* Arago
* Kikoutei no Ryo
* Kokuen-oh

In addition to their standard release, Japan-only prize versions of Rekka no Ryo and Korin no Seiji were released, cast in translucent plastic, as well as a gold-plated Kikoutei no Ryo.

Utilizing the common body type among the Troopers and Masho, armor could be swapped between figures to create unique (if non-canon) combinations, and the interlocking hands and ankles allowed for a range of dynamic fighting and grappling poses.

### Armor Plus (Bandai of Japan, 2009-Current)

Launched in 2009 as part of the larger Armor Plus line and similar to the Saint Myth Cloth line, Armor Plus Samurai Troopers mimicked the earlier Super Ballistic figures from Takara, utilizing removable armor on a standardized, base body, though as it was targeted at adult collectors rather than children, Armor Plus utilized die-cast metal armor rather than hard plastic and soft rubber and more show-accurate character designs.

The line consisted of 7 figures:

* Rekka no Ryo
* Tenku no Touma
* Korin no Seiji
* Suiko no Shin
* Kongo no Shuu
* Kikoutei no Ryo
* Taiyo no Mukala

In addition, an Arago was teased with a Super Ballistic figure used as a stand-in, but was never developed. A design flaw exists that affects the series; due to the weight of the armor, the ball sockets used for the hip joints are known to break under sustained strain from supporting a fully armored figure. Further, the line is often criticized for the inaccurate, overly slim proportions of the figures.

In 2021, the line was relaunched under with "Special Color Edition" deco, exchanging the metallic sheen of the original releases for a more show-accurate, matte appearance and show-accurate face decos.

The Special Color Edition line currently consists of:

* Kikoutei no Ryo
* Suiko no Shin
* Kongo no Shuu
* Korin no Seiji
* Tenku no Touma

### Choudan Kadou (Sentinel, 2020-Current)

Launched in 2020 by Sentinel Co., the Choudan Kadou (*超弾可動- "Super Bullet Movable"*) acts as an improvement upon Bandai's Armor Plus line, and in turn the original Super Ballistic Series, hence the allusion in the name. Returning to hard plastic for the armor rather than the die-cast of the Armor Plus, the Choudan Kadou series further improved on the oft-criticized proportions of the Armor Plus figures, featuring more life-like proportions and show-accurate sculpts and face decos.

The line currently consists of:

* Rekka no Ryo
* Korin no Seiji
* Tenku no Touma
* Kikoutei no Ryo (Currently not released)
* Suiko no Shin (Announced)
* Kongo no Shuu (Announced)
