Majin Bander (魔神バンダー Majin Bandā) was a 1969 toku series produced by NMC.Pro and Fuji Television. Out of the 13 episodes that ever aired, only 3 are known to have been archived.
Considering the show only ran for 13 episodes, it's likely that it wasn't very successful like shows such as Kokusai Hoei's "Majin Hunter Mitsurugi" and Nikkatsu's "Blitzkrieg!! Strada 5", although both of the previously mentioned shows are neither lost, nor in bad shape. Another very likely reason is that the tv studio, being a smaller, more obscure company, most likely did not have the proper storage space for the original film prints, and these are the results.
