While Mr. Power is fairly well-known in Phalanx Studios’ home country of Taiwan, the superhero style platform figure hasn’t gotten much shine in the USA. The upcoming Power Arts for Power Ups: Mr. Power Custom Show opening on Friday, May 21st 2010 (6-9 PM) @ ToyQube in NYC should help to increase Mr. Power’s stature.
