One of the most enduring brands of action figures and vehicles has to be Power Rangers. They are faithful and detailed copies of the characters and vehicles seen in the popular and long-running TV series. They are always based around the superhero Power Rangers characters, who "morph" into powerful individuals to take on the aggressive but mighty Zords. The good guys are always dressed in brightly coloured suits of red, green, blue and yellow, and the Power Rangers toys follow each TV series with realistic copies of the characters. Other colours are introduced from time to time, together with new Zords and fighting vehicles.
A new TV series is created each year, with the UK network typically following a year after the airing in the USA. Kids absolutely love Power Rangers toys – the new items are usually launched to coincide with the series launch at the beginning of each year, and the shops always report brisk business of the figures, vehicles and weapons that the characters use. As with most modern TV series, the Power Rangers toys have hundreds of spin-off products in the form of films, books, DVDs, a stage show. Some of the episodes are also available through iTunes.
Power Rangers Super Samurai combines the familiar elements of the characters with an extra set of traditional Samurai skills! Key toy in the range has to be the incredible Black Box Morpher - real sounds from the show are played when the disc is loaded; when combined with the Samurai Mega Blade, a whole new selection of role playing opportunities open up. Always popular toys are Power Rangers masks, and none more so than the realistic looking Samurai masks based on the show's real life characters. What little boy also wouldn't want a set of Power Rangers Super Samurai Battle Gear Gloves - these include phrases and sounds exactly as spoken in the TV series.
