Bandai has announced the exciting "Power Rangers" news in the following press release, from PR Newswire, that the toy company is bringing the Power Rangers action from "show to shelf" with its new toy line which includes dozens of items from show-accurate role play toys to robust action figures to large-scale buildable robots, and much more. The collectible Legendary Ranger Keys ($7.99 SRP per three pack), which unlock the powers of ALL past Rangers, are central to the new Bandai toy line. A quick flip function morphs the figures into unique keys that can be inserted into multiple Super Megaforce toys to unlock special features and powers! With over 60 different Ranger Keys to collect, this innovative toy enhances kids' play with all new Power Rangers items in the role play and Zord Builder categories.
The Ranger Keys also offer digital action: using the Power Rangers Scanner app (available on both iOS and Android systems) on any smart phone or tablet, kids can 'Unlock the Power' by scanning any Ranger Key to morph themselves into that Power Ranger and tap, slash and battle villains on-screen.
In addition to the toy line, Bandai will be celebrating "Power Rangers Super Megaforce" with various interactive promotions. Coming this Spring, "Morphin Madness", a tournament where fans can vote for their ultimate Power Rangers dream team! Running from Monday 10th March to Monday 7th April 2014, fans can participate in this bracket-style voting system which will reward them with coupons for Super Megaforce toys and a chance to win a 24K gold plated Deluxe Legendary Morpher and Legendary Ranger Key set of the fan-selected final five Rangers. Players will be able to vote daily at www.morphinmadness.com.
And this Fall/Autumn, Bandai will launch the "Unlock the Power" sweepstakes where kids can use their Power Ranger keys to win prizes and unlock rewards. More information on each of these Super Mega promotions will be announced soon.
