Celebrate 20 Years of Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad

Posted on September 12, 2014 at 9:15 pm by Den-O under General Tokusatsu News

With a recent anniversary for VR Troopers, you may not have realized another series premiered only a week later in 1994. Celebrating it’s 20th Anniversary today is Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad! Unlike the majority of other 90’s tokusatsu this series was not a Saban production nor was it adapted from a Toei series. Syber-Squad was brought to the US by DIC-Entertainment and was in fact adapted from the Tsuburaya series Denkou Choujin Gridman. The focus was on our main hero Sam Collins who transformed into the digital hero Servo, and along with Team Samurai would enter the digital world to fight the forces of the evil Kilokahn Artificial Intelligence.

Though the series never quite had the staying power of it’s Saban competitors Syber-Squad actually still has a decent following today. The original Japanese releases of the DX toy line have become just as expensive if not more so than many Sentai toys released in the same era. And even items from the American counterpart toy line produced by Playmates can still command a high price on the secondary market. Just last year Mill Creek Entertainment released the entirety of Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad on two DVD sets that can be easily found around the $10 range now.

Take a moment to reflect on Syber-Squad and it’s impact on the western toku market, and while you’re at it check out some previous galleries we’ve posted relating to the series:

Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad Samurizing Synchro Gallery by conundrum

Posted on December 15, 2013 at 1:14 am by Den-O under General Tokusatsu News

Our resident lover of 90’s tokusatsu far and wide conundrum is with us once again to share yet another gallery from Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad!

Adapted from the Tsuburaya series Denkou Chojin Gridman this show had the honor of having some of the best DX transforming sets around. However there were also some smaller more affordable Samurizing sets released here in the US that while not as complex as their DX brothers, definitely get the job done. At the lower price point and looking as good as they do these sets are great alternatives even now to the more expensive DX’s.

The Synchro Samurizing Set contains Servo and the 3 vehicles Borr, Tracto, and Vitor that allow him to become Synchro. You’ll see it scales especially well with Gridman Ultra-Acts if you’re on a budget. Seet the full gallery of this figure by clicking this link or by clicking the “Discuss on the Tokunation Forums” link at the bottom of this post!
