The Card Power (カードパワー) series is a set of small toys released by Sega between 1988 and 1990. In the US the series was renamed Pocket Power[1] and distributed by Tyco, which split the range into three sub-series. Irwin Toy distributed the set in Canada, Savie in France, Gig in Italy and Action GT in the United Kingdom.

Some entries in the range were seemingly named after Sega arcade games, such as Hang-On and Thunder Blade.
