Power Players is a CGI television series based on an original idea and created by Jeremy Zag and developed by Man of Action for Cartoon Network that premiered on September 21, 2019.[2] Around March 2020, Power Players started airing reruns on Boomerang.

Premise

There’s a new team of secret heroes in town and they’re the least likely of champions – toys! Brought to life by a hopeful child, these little problem solvers bring all the fun of Mission Impossible as they follow the mission plans of their creator. Now, a little boy and his toys can change the world – and for his friends.[3]

Characters

Main

  • Axel (voiced by Kieran Walton)[4] - Andrew's nephew. After discovering the power bands, he gained the ability to transform into an action figure.
  • Masko (voiced by Carlos Salazar)[4] - A toy luchador whose arms, legs and head stretch and who wears various masks based on his emotions.
  • Sarge Charge (voiced by Greg Chun)[4] - A tough, grizzled war veteran toy and team strategist, who is an expert in toy weapons.
  • Bearbarian (voiced by Jamieson Price)[4] - A powerful, yet sensitive plush teddy bear, who wields a toy sledgehammer nicknamed the “Worldbreaker".
  • Bobby Blobby (voiced by Reba Buhr)[4] - A tiny doll-like toy who pilots a purple mech battle suit that fires colored clay.
  • Galileo (voiced by Todd Haberkorn)[4] - A lizard-like toy that has never been released in the show’s toy universe.
  • Slobot (voiced by Landon McDonald)[4] - A robotic inventor who moves slow.
  • Zoe (voiced by TBA) - Axel's friend who is the only other human who knows Axel’s secret.

Recurring

  • Andrew (voiced by Scott Whyte)[4] - Axel's uncle, who is a brilliant toy inventor.
  • Luka (voiced by Aleks Le)[4] - a friend of Axel.

Villains

  • Madcap (voiced by Paul Haapaniemi)[4] - A robot who wants to drain the power of Axel's power gloves in order to conquer the world.
  • Orangutank and Porcupunk (voiced by Steven T. Seagle[4] and Scott Whyte[5], respectively) - Two of Madcap's henchmen. Orangutank can fire massive energy disks from his back and arms, while Porcupunk can launch explosive missiles from his body.
  • Princess Sugar Salt (voiced by Sona Movesesian) - One of Madcap's henchmen, who wields a wand that fires heart arrows.
  • Dynamo (voiced by Todd Haberkorn)[4] - One of Madcap's henchmen, who has electromagnetic powers.

  • Dr. Nautilus (voiced by Richard Horvitz)[6] - One of Madcap's henchmen, a mutant alien cephalopod toy with one eye and four stretchable arms who can generate corrosive acid.

Development and production

The show was originally greenlit in 2016 under the working title Power Toys before being renamed Power Players in the final version of the series.[7]

On February 11, 2019, the series was officially picked up by Cartoon Network, making it the first Zagtoon production to be made and produced for this channel, and Playmates became the master toy licensee for the series.[8][9] Power Players will premiere on Cartoon Network UK on February 3, 2020.[10]
