Shogun Warriors (toys)

The Shogun Warriors were the central characters of a line of toys licensed by Mattel Inc. during the late 1970s that consisted of a series of imported Japanese robots based on anime and tokusatsu shows featuring giant robots. Originally manufactured in three sizes: the plastic versions, the die-cast metal versions, and the slightly taller but much more detailed 5-inch (127 mm) die-cast versions. Several vehicles were also offered, as well as a set that could be put together to form the super robot Combattra. Toward the end of production, Mattel proposed the inclusion of some original plastic vehicles exclusive to the U.S. for the 3.5" figures to ride in, however, these toys were not released for purchase.
