Stone Protectors is a 1993 multi-media entertainment property consisting primarily of an action figure line and animated series.[1] The series also had a tie-in video game released for the Super NES and the Sega Genesis. It was one of several attempts to market the troll doll craze of the early 1990s to young boys, similar to the official line of Battle Trolls toys. While not particularly successful, Stone Protectors generally followed in the same vein as contemporaries, including Toxic Crusaders, Swamp Thing, and the highly popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Back-story
A kingdom built of crystals came under attack by the reptilian humanoid and troll-like Saurians whose leader, Zok, desired the powerful crystals protected by the Empress. Zok broke into the castle and reached for the crystals only to see them explode into pieces and fly to Earth.
After being thrown out the back door of a New York City club, an awful rock band known as the Rock Detectors found the five magical stones which gave them troll-like appearances and special skills (not the least of which is playing good music), and they are now collectively known as The Protectors. This put them at odds with the music-hating Zok and his henchman Zink who call themselves the Predators.
