Power is the fourth and final series for the initial reboot wave of the modern era. First released in 2009 in the United Kingdom and soon after released throughout Europe. It was eventually released in North America in late 2012 and was the final Gogo's series to be released there. The series is a set of 80 Gogo's, as well as 10 rare Most Wanted Gogo's, bringing the total of figures up to 90. This series marks the return of Precious Metal Gogo's, as well as the Most Wanted themed characters last seen in Series 1. For the first time in the brand's long history, stickers are absent from this release and have been replaced with trading cards. This push in direction for the series is commonly theorized to have been made due to the popularity of the increasing demand for the genre at the time.
A trading card was made for every Gogo in the set, including the 10 most wanted figures (all of which were holographic). These cards were meant to be used for the rock-paper-scissors styled game included in the rule-sheet that were bundled in many of the bundle packages. Despite the large focus on these cards, all other major Gogo's releases would revert back to including stickers instead.
Each standard pack contained two playing cards and two Gogo's (one of them being a standard color and the other being a metallic one).

Trivia[]
- Prototype packaging for bag and blister packs showcased online before the set's North American release features Evolution and Explorer Gogo's on the front despite the being different series.
- An advertisement for a mobile game developed by Bullsitoy was on the back of each North American pack.
- Although Power was scheduled for an early 2012 release in North America, the series was pushed back to Fall of that year. The only reason given was that JDNA (the distributors at the time) wanted collectors to complete the Explorer series before starting Power.
- Power was the final major Gogo's release in North America. The Diamond tin collection came out shortly afterwards.
- Several bootleg figures were made to imitate the Power series and could be found in South American markets.
- Like the Explorer and Superstar sets, Power was not released in any countries where Magic Box's name was absent from Gogo's products.
- The trading cards have three colored symbols of a red star, yellow lighting and green spiral. However, as this series continued the tradition of having 80 Crazy Bones, the variety of the three power symbols were spilt unevenly due to said total. The number of which are:
- Red Star = 28
- Yellow Lighting = 25
- Green Spiral = 27
- Furthermore, it is interesting to note that the total amount could've been spilt evenly due to the 10 Most Wanted cards, but it was likely not considered at the end of production. Leading the final total of cards being:
- Red Star = 31
- Yellow Lighting = 29
- Green Spiral = 30
