Toys:
Power
Rangers: Time Force
marks the ninth season of Bandai's continuing success with the
Power Rangers series of toys. The toy line ties in with the new
television series, including the "Quantum Ranger," who
is a bit of a mystery figure from our own time. (The Time Force
concept is that this particular team of Rangers is from the
future, and must travel through time to fight the bad guys from
their time.)
Bandai
will be taking the Power Rangers "on the road" this
summer, starting in May 2001 - the Time Force Time Blaster Tour
will stop in 20 major cities in the United States. The Tour is
housed in a large trailer pulled by a semi, and includes a motion
ride.
