Hasbro Partners with China to Create KRE-O Toys for Chinese Tokusatsu Armor Hero

Posted on November 16, 2015 at 11:58 am by Chris under General Tokusatsu News

This one is a little bit out of left field! For those who follow various or not-so-known tokusatsu series, the Armor Hero line from China is their own version of Super Sentai and/or Kamen Rider. Recently, the toys have picked up some popularity here in the United States with tokusatsu collectors, with the recent mech being considered a vast improvement from the last few years.

Today, during the Hasbro Investor’s Conference Call, Hasbro revealed that they have partnered with China to develop their line of building toys, known as KRE-O, for the Armor Hero series in China. These toys will be exclusive to China.

While this may not seem like huge news, in a way it is – Hasbro now has its hat in the ring with a tokusatsu series that rivals Bandai and TOEI. With a global partnership like this being created, one has to wonder … if the Power Rangers 2017 Movie is successful, does this partnership leave a door cracked open for potential Armor Hero showing in the United States?

    When I saw the title I was like-
    "um, you sure you didn't mean to post in TFW?"

    Then I saw "Armor Hero" and it ALL made sense.

    This is cool news.

    That's pretty neat. Shame it's limited to China, though.

    Glad to see hasbro making in-roads into the Chinese market.

    So armor hero is similiar to KR. I assume then that Space Deleter Is their Sentai?

    Armor Heroes subs/duns only go up to the second series called "XT". Go to ArmorHeroes.com and you can find them.

    Armor Hero is a separate franchise from Giant Saver. The one with the improved robot.

    Armor Hero Captor is next year Armor Hero show. Last years Giant Saver was Giant Saver: Space Deleter. We still don't know what next years Giant Saver is.

    Interesting. Oh hey they actually made some new helmets too! Yay.

    Man, I still need to find the last wave of Transformers Microchangers. :/

    I don't know if anyone saw it when I posted it in another thread, but here's the trailer for Armor Hero Captor:
