Over time, my collecting philosophy has come to center on one ideal: having physical representations of the characters most important to me. Hard drives will fail and files will become harder to find, but if I take care of my toy collection, it should outlive its delicate, intangible source material; it will be there to remind me of all I have learned from tokusatsu.
As Rider is very individualistic in nature, I am perfectly content picking and choosing which I want on my shelves. Conversely, because of the collective nature of Sentai, I endeavor to have my teams as complete as they possibly can be.
Above the cut, I will link to examples of popular categories of figures on the market, as I’ve provided summary material within these particular nuts. Below it, I will strive to relay as much information as I personally possess about viable options for matching teams and the availability of various Riders and their forms.

Up front, I of course don't know everything about every toy ever produced. I'm only focusing on the series I know the most about and even then there are plenty of gaps in my knowledge. My only hope is that it helps one person in at least a small way to have this much information about these series in one place. I'm obsessive about matching (and fully complete) teams, and because the world isn't perfect, the options available do not extend as far as they logically should. Should anyone else feel the same, this could be a helpful read.
There are gashapon figures of virtually every series that I know of, so I’ll only mention them (and candy toys) if they are particularly relevant. Further, I’ll only mention exclusivity if it is relevant. You will generally know which Figuarts are exclusives as soon as you see their prices. I'll avoid discussing bikes and mecha unless I feel they are specifically pertinent to representing the associated characters.
I’ll also forgo further mention of Decade’s Final Form Ride series. Simply know that there are figures in it for every titular Rider from Kuuga through Kiva, and that most are hampered by varying amounts of transformation kibble. The Decade and DiEnd from that line are decent, however.
I'll start with Rider and move to Sentai.

Blade
Rider Hero Figures — All forms for all four show Riders have vinyls, as well as Glaive, L'arc, and Lance.
Souchaku Henshins — Chalice, Blade, Blade King Form, Garren, Leangle, and Glaive.
Figuarts — Chalice, Blade, Blade Jack Form, Blade King Form, Garren & Red Rhombus set, Garren Jack Form, Leangle.
S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashiis — I highly recommend Wild Chalice. There's also all of Blade's forms and a Garren in this sub-line.
Gimmicks —There was a DX card collection (Trump Box) that included many of the cards from the show. It has the four regular Aces, the face cards used for Kenzaki and Tachibana's other forms, and all of Hajime's, including his Wild card. It excludes Dia 10, the alternate Club Ace, Club 7, Club Queen, Joker, the Kerberos card, and the King Deck. If you need those, or any of the movie cards, the Premium Rouze Card Archives will always be where it's at.
Self-Defined Representation — I've got a 1:12 scale laptop for Hirose and a milk bottle for Shirai.
Den-O
Rider Hero Figures — All of the show Imagin and Rider Forms (yes, Sieg is a show Imagin) were available as vinyls, as well as Gaoh. Nega Den-O was an exclusive.
Sofubi Hero Figures — It doesn't appear that the Sofubis were as exhaustive, but the more basic forms seem accounted for. There's even one for G Den-O in W's line.
Souchaku Henshins — Plat Form & Momotaros, Sword Form, Rod Form, Ax Form, Gun Form, Wing Form, Climax Form, Liner Form, Zeronos (Altair and Vega), Zeronos Zero Form. There's also a massive 5 Form set that covers Plat Form and the 4 main forms.
Figuarts — Everything Den-O and Zeronos, including Super Climax. Momotaros, Urataros, Kintaros, Ryuutaros, Sieg, Deneb, Negataros, Gaoh, Yuuki, G Den-O, Nega Den-O, New Den-O Strike Form, New Den-O Vega Form.

Other — The WCF line is great for Imagin. There's even a Teddy and Negataros in it! The Digital Grade gashapon figure of Super Climax Form is perfection.

Kiva
Rider Hero Figures — I've seen full-sized vinyls for everything in Kiva except Dark Kiva. Including both of IXA's modes, Rising IXA, Saga, DoGaBaKi, Arc, and Rey.
Sofubi Hero Figures — They tackled the Arms Monster Kiva forms, at the very least.
Souchaku Henshins — Kiva, Garulu Form, Bassha Form, Dogga Form, Arc & Rey. I imagine you might be able to Frankenstein (heh!) a DoGaBaKi figure from the first four if you’re willing to do a bit of disassembly.

Gimmicks — The fuestles were sold individually and while they didn’t sell well they are an option for Jiro, Riki, and Ramon. Kivat actually is Kiva’s belt so role-play toys exist as super swank talking figures in his, Ni-sei, Kiva-la, Reykivat, and Sagark’s cases. There’s Tatsulot to consider, as well. Kiva-la was a premium item, predictably.

Rider Hero Figures — CycloneJoker, HeatMetal, LunaTrigger, FangJoker, CycloneJoker Xtreme, Kamen Rider Accel, Accel Trial, Accel Booster, CycloneAccel Xtreme (yes, I'm serious.), Kamen Rider Eternal, Eternal Red Flare (yes), Kamen Rider Skull, Skull Crystal, Kamen Rider Joker. Sets were released including all three Cyclone forms, all three Heat Forms, and all three Luna forms.
Sofubi Hero Figures — CycloneJoker, HeatMetal, LunaTrigger, FangJoker, CycloneJoker Xtreme, Kamen Rider Accel, Accel Trial, Kamen Rider Skull.

There are Figuarts Zeroes of Terror, Taboo, and Smilodon.

There are Figuarts Zeroes of Terror, Taboo, and Smilodon.
S.I.C.s — Please see the wikipedia page, as it has a list that goes up through 2015. CycloneJoker has pieces to turn it into CycloneJoker Xtreme and can parts-swap with the other default combinations to make CycloneTrigger, etc. Skull comes with his Crystal head, if you're into that.
Form Change Figures — W, like Decade and every subsequent Neo-Heisei series, had a gimmick line of figures that has Souchaku Henshin alike articulation. You could bisect these to make all of the (legitimate) combinations used in the show, and FangMetal & FangTrigger. This line was sold as CycloneJoker, HeatMetal, LunaTrigger, FangJoker, Accel, the Accel Gunner, the Revolgarry, and a figure that switches from CycloneJoker to CycloneJoker Xtreme.
Gimmicks — There are DX versions of most of the purified Gaia Memories in the show and premium gashapon collections of the T2 Memories, Dopant Memories, show memories not released otherwise, and some from the post-series novel that featured Kamen Rider Cyclone. This could be an entire post unto itself.
Other — The WCF line has all of NEVER, including a caped and non-caped Eternal. There's also an Akiko-W holding a slipper.
Self-Defined Representation — Some other things worth considering for Akiko are slippers (duh!), an octopus (DAT TAKOYAKI HAT), a frog, or a doll (see the Puppeteer arc). I have a 1:12 scale book on my shelf for those of you in the know~

SENTAI
When it comes to Sentai, it pays to decide whether you want your teams to be sporting their regular suits or to be in their powered-up forms (assuming they exist for a given series). Unfortunately, sometimes this decision is cruelly made for you.
For those who don't want to read through the sea of text that follows, I have created a chart detailing what lines have matching sets. Once in the shadowbox, right-clicking and opening the image in a new tab or window will help.
Go-Onger
This IS a simple series in that there are no power-ups. Unless you want to customize a Power Rangers RPM Red figure with a coat from a Super Samurai Ranger, that is. You’ll need to paint a regular one or use the one from the Power Morphicon 2012 Exclusive set to make Hyper Go-On Red. That’s assuming it’ll fit as I think the RPM figures were 5'' and the Samurai ones were 4''. Super Megaforce did provide both RPM Red and Super Samurai Red in the same scale, but I'm no longer sure if that coat can be removed. It'd be a process that necessitates an adult's help, if applicable.
There is a Hyper Go-On Red card in the Power Rangers ACG.
There is a Hyper Go-On Red card in the Power Rangers ACG.
It’s NOT a simple series in that every mecha is also a character. Unless you’re comfortable doubling-up representation via gimmicks, this is going to be an expensive and crowded shelf.
Vinyl Hero Figures — These were made for all seven human Senshi and a few were made in a larger scale, as well. I know Go-On Gold and Silver were. The standard full-sized ones are great for a matching set, assuming you can find them at a good price. I’d try Mandarake.
Sofubi Hero Figures — Yes, this could be the giant Miu just mentioned, but I feel safe betting that's the regular one and the rest are, in fact, Sofubi Heroes. Look at the shininess of the plastic. Sofubis are usually more waxy, in that way. Plus, Gekiranger has sofubis. It's only logical.

American Figures — The RPM line seems to have quality figures that encompass all seven. They even made partners for Kishamoth, T-Line, and K-Line. No love for Carrigator and Jum-bowhale?
Gimmicks — The Engine Souls were released as candy toys, gashapons, and in DX format with the DX mecha and various role-play toys. Again, if you’re comfortable with doubling-up the Senshi and the Engines, you could get away with having twelve things on your shelf. If you need Bomper, too, he did receive a special Engine Soul that pops up on Mandarake and ebay from time to time.
Mecha — Again, the mecha are characters and so these count as extremely nice figures for them if you have the room and budget necessary. There are candy toy kits for all of them.
Others — There are some puffy vinyl versions of Engines #1-5 modeled after their hologram...models. They’re adorable, but I’ve never seen them for a price I was willing to pay. Smaller keychain iterations of them exist, too. Further, they made Hot Wheels-esque versions of those same main Engines to fit into the cargo containers of the DX Jum-bowhale.
Self-Defined Representation — I have a Mantan Gun from the Bandai of America Super Legends RPM Red figure to serve as my Bomper, since he uses one in the show. I’ve got a tire dog toy for Go-Roader GT, since I sold my DX one. I also have a set of 1:12 scale wine bottles for Yogostein, Kegareshia, and Kitaneidas that match their predominant colors. Win.
Honoo Shuu Group
American Figures — There's a BoA version of Engine DaiShogun in their Micro Zords line.
Mecha — I cannot recommend the DX Engine DaiShogun enough! There's candy toy/mini-pla kits, too, if you absolutely must, though.
Shinkenger
Regular Shinkengers:
Vinyl Hero Figures — The entire regular team was made, as well as Shinken Gold. I believe this was the last year that these figures came with weapons. The main team each get a Shinkenmaru and Genta gets his Sakanamaru.
Sofubi Hero Figures — The main team and Genta were made. I haven't seen a Kaoru.

Lauren has not been made, but male ranger keys can be customized into females with a single strip of paint.
Figuarts — Takeru, Ryuunosuke, Mako, Chiaki, Kotoho, Genta, and Kaoru. Genta and Takeru are the only ones that are not exclusives. Lots of folks complain about their shoulders, but they’re good figures, imo. Mako tends to have insanely tight hips. On one side, at least. There’s an SDCC 2013 exclusive set that gave the team metallic paint. It includes the Super Shinken Red mold instead of the normal one.
DaiGoyou is included with Genta. What are technically Figuarts Zero Kurokos came with the first releases of Shinken Red and Gold.
American Figures — All six were made in their regular suits at the 4'' scale. I rather liked them when I had ‘em. Lauren was a mystery figure that wasn’t released in the US, as far as I’m aware. She’s covered here. There were two sets of stylized/chibi figures released. The first has the main five and a Mooger/Nanashi Renjyuu. The second is based on the Smash (iphone?) game and has all six regular members. Fuwa Juuzo got a figure under the name Deker and Chimatsuri Doukoku as Master Xandrid.
Gimmicks — That the first five hiden discs are used on their weapons (and in the Rekka Daizantou), not their mecha, made me less inclined to keep them. That’s why I was alright with selling 'em. Their origami in emblem mode are more proper representations in my mind and you can get all five by buying a Shinken-Oh. Keep in mind that the Samurai Megazord can’t manage their emblem modes, outside of Kame. Ebi can’t fold up, but c’mon, Ebi rocks, regardless.
Possessing an Ika Origami disc works wonders for the relationship between Takeru, Genta, Mako, and Jii.

Self-Defined Representation — If you don’t want to spring for the Figuart or BoA Lauren figure for Kaoru, you can always make yourself a fan with some paper or cardstock. I've still got mine sitting on the shelf for the sake of symmetry, and because it works for Kohana from Den-O, as well. There’s a Bulk figure in the Super Samurai Mega Bloks line that works for Shinken Brown. A 1:12 scale whiskey jug works wonders for Doukoku. Just pretend it's sake.
Super (and Hyper) Shinkengers:
When it comes to Super Shinkengers, you’re standing on a double-edged sword. You can get away with having one figure in Super mode, because of the singular nature of the Inroumaru, but if you want a specific one that isn’t Takeru...that decision is sadly already made for you, depending on what type of figure you want them to be.
Vinyl Hero Figures — Takeru was made as a full-size vinyl and he comes with a Super Shinkenmaru. There’s also a Hyper version of him that doesn’t come with the Kyouryuumaru. WTF? That’s it.
Ranger Keys — There are no powered-up Shinkenger Ranger Keys
Figuarts — Super Shinken Red and Hyper Shinken Red exist and were released. They showed Gedou Shinken Red, but I’m not sure they ever released it. I also believe they showed the entire team at one point, but they obviously didn’t follow through on that. There are customs out there, though. Yep, they did show them. Why was Genta stage-left? Oh, Bandai interns~
American Figures — BoA made Super figures for Red, Blue, and Green. On moral terms, I’d pick one and not get all of them, given that the ladies will be even more officially shafted if you do. Blue isn’t a bad choice. Ryuunosuke went Super quite a bit and the white looks really nice over blue.
Jayden, in the American Exclusive Shogun Mode, was available in the 4'' line and came with a Mougyuu/Bullzooka. It's unpainted, but if you want to believe it's a prototype, you can totally say it's a stand-in for Hiro.

Gimmicks — If you don’t want to buy an Inroumaru or a candy toy Super disc to stand in for the Super Shinkengers, you can definitely get a gashapon Saishuu Ougi disc that can at least work for Takeru, Kaoru, and Kotoha. Or, you can get a Kyouryuu disc much the same way that’ll work for Takeru, Chiaki, Genta, or Sosuke.

Others — There are cell-phone strap charms of the main 5 Super Shinkengers. There are cards for all of the main team (including Kaoru!) in the Power Rangers ACG. There's even cards for Hyper Shinken Red AND Green!
I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt they ever made a Super or Hyper Shinken Gold, as Genta only used the power-ups in the crossover with Goseiger and the DVD Special, respectively. They did release a Super Genta Dice-O card during Gokaiger's run, though, so there is that if you absolutely need something for that version of him. Like I predictably did...

Goseiger
Regular Goseigers:
Vinyl Hero figures — The main team and Gosei Knight are available and everyone except Alata and Gosei Knight come with their change cards. Alata’s is predictably included with the Tensouder, but I have NO EARTHLY IDEA how Gosei Knight’s was released, outside of via Dice-O machines. The Leon Cellular comes with the Change Groundion card. The vinyl comes with the Summon card for the Knight Brothers.

American Figures — The 4'' figures are nice. The boys are toeing the line of being too buff and they didn’t make Blue taller than the others. I hope before this world is through Hyde gets a correctly-sized figure <3 There is a second run of the figures with metallic paint.
Gimmicks — I have their reflective change cards and I recommend them if you can find ‘em. The DX ones are discussed above, as most of them come with their Sentai Hero vinyls. I've got an American Gosei Ultimate card for Master Head and one of Wonder Gosei Great for Nozomu. I have a printed photoshop of Hyde's change card for Magis (Gosei Green).
Mecha — If you’d like, you could get a Gosei Great for the five main Headders and a gashapon Groundion headder.
Other — There are some articulated candy toy-esque figures out there that someone on ebay has listed as ‘Pachitto.’ I’ve seen all five. There’s also a Popy Sound figure for Alata, at the very least. I wonder if it actually has Chiba Yudai's voice?
BoA released Hot Wheels re-imaginings of the Dragon, Phoenix, Snake, Tiger, Shark, and Groundion headders. They also made one for Vrak. Yes, I am using his US name to avoid spoiling Goseiger for anyone.
Self-Defined Representation — A telescope is perfect for Amachi Hakase, though I went with a cake 😂

Sofubi Hero Figures — I haven’t seen Super versions at this scale.
Ranger Keys — Super Goseiger Ranger Keys do not exist.
Figuarts — They didn’t make the normal ones, did you expect that they made Supers?
American Figures — BoA came through, HARDCORE. They released all five of them in both normal and metallic paint. The Gosei Ultimate Megazord figure is nice for Master Head, among other things.
Gimmicks — The Summon Miracle Gosei Power cards came with the 1st run of the Tensword. The thing is, that run is still kicking around at e-tailers. It either sold that badly (very likely) or they never put a second run into production (also likely). Theoretically, it should only come with Alata's, but chances are very good that if you buy one that's still sealed, you'll get them all.

Mecha — They only made the entirely gold versions of the Miracle Dragon, Snake, and Shark Headders. I’m not happy about that. But, the superior full-color versions are all on Gosei Ultimate, so whatever.
Datas’s Hyper Change Headder is available as a gashapon, and BoA released it as the Ultra Change Headder with the Sea Lion Blue Ranger Cycle, even though they didn’t actually release Datas himself. Be careful, the Sea Lion Black Ranger Cycle comes with their version of the Sealeon Headder. Needlessly confusing.
Others — Super form cellphone straps that do include Eri and Mouné exist. There are cards of the Super Goseigers in the Power Rangers ACG.
Go-Busters

Enetan is inside the head of her mecha, much the same way, but she IS scaled properly. Li-Oh’s DX release is far from perfect scale but is surprisingly passable standing behind full-sized vinyls. He’d only look better behind sofubis!
American Figures — I will not be following the Hasbro line. Please look elsewhere for information about the figures.
Reika? My self-defined representation of her is covered here.
I purchased some pencils for Miho and Morishita. I got a block eraser for Ku~ro~rin~ I couldn't help myself =P Miho has a frog amongst the things on her desk and if you're the sort to support that one photoshop I've seen pairing her with Enetan, go for it. I tend to like the idea of Reika partnering with Enetan, though. Another great thing for Kuroki is a globe. He has a translucent one on his desk. I suppose a puma, too, if you can get behind the AU Come Back special. I personally cannot.

Figuarts — They are but a dream~

Role-play Toy — It wouldn’t be super outlandish to sit a GB Custom Visor by your regular figures.
Others — There are keychains of their Powered Custom forms.

Why Go-Buster King? Because Li-Oh. Duh.
