World Hero Series

Popy’s World Hero (ポピー ワールドヒーロー) line is a line of 3 ¾” action figures released in 1980. The line started as a way to distribute Kenner’s Star Wars action figures in Japan. The first 15 figures were boxed Star Wars figures from the Empire Strikes Back era. The line proved so successful that Popy continued the formula with its own Japanese properties – namely Ultraman, Denjiman, and Kamen Rider. Along with the figures, Popy released 3 carrying cases, similar to the Darth Vader carrying case by Kenner.
