“Hot off the success of the #1 kids action series Power Rangers Samurai, currently airing on Nickelodeon, comes a fun, new costume exclusively available at Build-A-Bear Workshop® beginning October 7. Just in time for Halloween, and based on the latest incarnation of the enduringly popular Power Rangers franchise, the Red Samurai Power Ranger costume has been designed specifically by licensee Build-A-Bear Workshop to fit bears and other furry friends.
This costume marks the very first collaboration between the popular interactive entertainment retailer Build-A-Bear Workshop and the iconic Power Rangers franchise. The Build-A-Bear Workshop Red Samurai Power Ranger costume is a miniature replica of the uniform worn by the heroic leader of the Samurai Rangers.
“We are thrilled to announce the addition of licensee, Build-A-Bear Workshop, to our growing roster of partnerships,” said Elie Dekel, President of Saban Brands. “Halloween is a great time to inspire the hero in everyone and we look forward to growing brand awareness for Power Rangers Samurai with the Red Ranger costume debut at Build-A-Bear Workshop.”
“We couldn’t be happier that Power Ranger fans are now able find Red Samurai Ranger costumes for stuffed animals in Build-A-Bear Workshop stores across the country,” said Build-A-Bear Workshop Chief Entertainment and Digital Marketing Bear, Teresa Kroll. “We are confident that the Red Samurai Ranger costume will be one of the most popular items for our customers this Halloween.”
