This show also inspired a seemingly limitless line of toys that hit the shelves around the same time and inspired the same mania in toy stores that the show inspired on television. Like the show that inspired them, the Power Ranger toys became a major success story of the 1990 s.

To do this, the teens were granted special suits and masks that transformed them into warriors with special abilities and powers.
