The OG Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
In the ’90s, the Power Rangers were at the top of their game. Kids were obsessed with this TV series that first aired in 1993 before becoming a $6 billion franchise considering retail alone. Some critics and parents claimed the show was too violent, but the do-good theme was enough to keep the show on the air, and action figures of the power rangers flooded toy store shelves. In 1994, Power Rangers were the most popular toy at Christmas. Kids were inspired by the teens who fought evil (Rita Repulsa) couldn’t get enough of their super cool spacesuits in different colors.
