The giant robots featured in the Super Sentai series of live-action television shows were often ferried around in giant spacecraft. Popy created a series of large-sized "carrier" spaceship toys, collectively known as "Big Scale," to mimic the effect. Bandai continued the tradition after absorbing Popy into their corporate structure in 1983.

Bandai reissued several of their more popular Chogokin pieces in 1984 under the name "Eternal Masterpiece Series." Featuring the character's name (often humorously misspelled) embalzoned in bold English across the boxes, they are easily distinguished from previous incarnations. With the exception of Mazinger Z, which was specially gold-plated for this series, the toys and accessories seem to be unchanged from previous versions.

Not to be confused with the Eternal Masterpiece series, the Etarnal (sic) Hero Series was yet another attempt by Bandai to wring a profit out of their old molds. The matte-finished, sepia-toned boxes really set these reissues apart. Each box prominently features the English words "Etarnal Heroes Series" and the Japanese characters for "reissue." Similar to the Eternal Masterpiece Series, the toys themselves seem to be identical to previous versions.
