RELEASE DATE SET FOR MEDABOTS: TIME TO ROBATTLE!
HOME VIDEO PREMIERE OF FOX KIDS AND ABC FAMILY'S TOP-RATED ANIMATED SERIES CONTINUES
HOUSTON, May 2, 2002 - ADV Films has set the street date of August 6, 2002 for the home video release of Medabots: Time to Robattle!, the third volume of the popular animated series airing on FOX Kids and ABC Family. ADV plans a concurrent day and date release for both the DVD and VHS formats of this successful children's franchise.
Demand for Hasbro's Medabots action figures remains brisk after selling out within the first two weeks of their release. Interest will peak with this summer's fast food promotion and Natsume's release of a Medabots video game for Game Boy Advance.
The Story: Ikki and Metabee are beginning to come to terms with each other. That's a good thing, because the Rubberobo Gang is stepping up their activities, and it's up to Ikki and his friends to stop them from taking over the world, or at least turning the neighborhood into a new wave housing development. If that's not enough, the local Parent - Teacher Organization has decided that Medabots are a bad influence on the kids and is confiscating any Medabot found at school. That's not good, because the real leader of the Rubberobo Gang makes his appearance at last. Will the introduction of Dr. Meta-Evil turn the bumbling Rubberobo Gang into successful criminals? Find out as Medabots continues with four more exciting adventures!
ADV Films' home video release of Medabots: Time to Robattle! includes four episodes of the highly-rated children's television series on FOX Kids and ABC Family. DVD extras include character bios, a Medabots A to Z special feature, and ADV previews.
