Power Rangers Get Powerized for the Holidays with New Wish List Feature on Newly Launched Web Site
CYPRESS, Calif.--Nov. 29, 2005 Just in time for the holidays,
Bandai America Incorporated launches a brand new interactive Web site
for its most popular brand, Power Rangers -- www.GetPowerized.com. The
dynamic new site offers a variety of features that enable visitors to
generate gift wish lists to send to Santa, friends and family, see the
Power Rangers toys in 3-D as they morph from mode to mode with just a
click of the mouse, and view streaming video of Power Rangers
television commercials. "GetPowerized.com" also links to Disney's
"PowerRangers.com" site and vice versa, further showcasing the unique
synergy between the toy line and the television series.
With more than a half million hits since launching, "GetPowerized.com" is already receiving a lot of attention from Power
Rangers fans.
"The new 'Get Powerized' Web site is the destination for fans to
interact with Power Rangers toys," said Matt Golding, director of
marketing for Bandai America. "New for the holidays, kids can build
their customized wish lists of their favorite Power Rangers toys and
then e-mail it or print it out to give to parents, family and
friends."
In 2005, Bandai America introduced Power Rangers Space Patrol
Delta (SPD), a dynamic new theme that fuses the teamwork and heroism
of the police force with the action and adventure known to the Power
Rangers brand. Now, by using the new wish list feature on "GetPowerized.com," Power Rangers fans can request some of the hottest
Power Rangers SPD toys for the holidays with just a click of a button:

About Power Rangers
Over the past thirteen years, the Power Rangers have been on
Earth, in space, on the moon, under water, traveling through time, in
the jungle and anywhere evil lurks. They've battled Rita Repulsa,
Divatox, Master Org, Dark Spector, Toxica, Jindrax and many more
evil-doers -- villains who have been shrunk to miniatures, tossed in
jail, reduced to ooze or banished. Over time, the brand has maintained
its themes of teamwork, honesty, loyalty, courage, family, friends and
above all, the victory of good over evil. With a far greater reach
than any other kids TV franchise, Power Rangers is currently seen in
29 timeslots each week; mornings and evenings during the JETIX
action/adventure block on ABC Family and Toon Disney and on the ABC
Television Network every Saturday morning. The brand has established
its ubiquity by introducing such words as "Zord," "Megazord" and
"Morpher" into the modern lexicon.
