Kids can join in the battle against Evil Space Aliens! Kids can become their favorite hero in real life with this wearable Red Ranger helmet stylized in the fierce Jungle Fury Beast Master mode. Kids and their parents connect the helmet to Bandai's website using their home computer to access more than 40 different downloadable secret audio missions. Each two-minute role-play adventure can be easily downloaded into the helmet and updated continuously once the last one is completed.

With each audio training mission, kids are encouraged to get up and get active by joining the Order of the Claw and playing out the heroic adventures from the Power Rangers Jungle Fury TV series (missions from last seasons Operation Overdrive are also still available online at www.Bandai.com/PowerRangers). The helmet comes pre-loaded with one mission and features a see-through visor, lights and even more built-in action sounds than before for dynamic and adventurous fun. (SRP: $49.99; Ages: 4+; Available at major retailers nationwide)

Additional creation figure booster packs are sold separately. As an added bonus, kids can use their Alien Chamber as a carrying case and use it to showcase all of their new alien creations with their friends.
