Power Players

Power Players, the 3D animation/live-action hybrid series from ZAG, will enter a major new market this fall.

Audiences in China will be able to enjoy the series beginning in October when it debuts simultaneously on Tencent, Mango TV, and major digital over-the-top (OTT) platforms, including Xiaomi, Haixin, Kukai, and TCL, and more.

REESEE brokered the distribution deal on behalf of ZAG in China and will also serve as the regional distributor for the Power Players toy collection from ZAG Lab and Playmates. The full range of action figures, vehicles, and role-play items will hit stores in China next spring.
