LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Saban’s Power Rangers get charged in the next season of the iconic franchise, Power Rangers Dino Charge. Debuting on Nickelodeon in 2015, this new season will deliver all-new dino-fueled action and adventure to fans of all ages. The series will roll out globally later that year. In addition, Bandai America Incorporated will continue to act as the global master toy licensee for the franchise, creating an all-new dinosaur themed product line.
“Power Rangers Dino Charge will be a strong addition to the Power Rangers franchise,” said Elie Dekel, President of Saban Brands. “By reintroducing the dinosaur theme, which global trends show is popular with boys, we know fans will find this next season larger than life!”
“We are excited to deliver a new toy line for Power Rangers Dino Charge,” said Akihiro Sato, CEO of Bandai America Incorporated. “This dinosaur theme is a proven success in Japan, having seen the strongest toy sales in 10 years. We look forward to building on this popularity around the world.”
On pre-historic planet Earth, an alien secretly entrusted the powerful Paragon Prisms to 12 majestic dinosaurs for protection, but when asteroids hit and the dinosaurs went extinct, the prisms were lost. In Power Rangers Dino Charge, set in present day, an intergalactic bounty hunter has arrived, determined to locate the prisms, harness their power, and destroy Earth. To face this threat, a new team of heroic Power Rangers must join together, find all of the lost prisms, and use their prehistoric energy to charge up an arsenal of dino-fueled swords, blasters, zords and Megazords in order to save the world!
