Show History
The show was based on a Japanese superhero series and was adapted to American audiences by casting English-speaking actors and using the original Japanese footage for the costumed characters.

Many seasons of the different Power Rangers series are available on Netflix. New episodes can be watched on Nickelodeon.
Toy Manufacturer History
For the first 25 years Bandai was the primary manufacturer of Power Rangers Toys. Starting in 2019, Hasbro takes over that contract as the exclusive maker of Power Rangers toys. Hasbro and Fisher Price are both owned by Mattel, so Fisher Price also has some licensed Power Rangers toys.
