One thing I hope for in the Megazords (as I have been meaning to get the Go-Busters mecha for a while now) is that they don't use the cheap stickers for details like they do on the Voyager Class and Leader Class Transformers now. I was really irritated when they did that. If they can manage to make a decent adaptation of the mecha without stickers, then I won't have to buy the Japanese ones.

Ok Hasbro make power rangers good again.

Make them... Morphinominal again! |
All I ask is that they don't make the zord toys look like they came out of a happy meal from McDonald's.

Now here's my question: Did Hasbro get the Kamen Rider trademark as well?

Why are we cheering for corporate consolidation?

But currently there are no plans about that. This only pertains to the rights Neo-Saban/Saban Brands held. Which this time around does not include Masked Rider(Black RX), Gridman, VR Troopers, or Beetleborgs. Those are still in limbo/no clue who currently owns them. It also depends on what the current Toei/Amazon plans are, and how that may grow depending on how much audience it can bring in to the amazon platforms to feel warranted or additionally marketed.

Like the freedom Marvel gained because of the Disney purchase that let them not be stuck within other studios that could have led to a mess or limiting their freedom by how those studios could interfere. Things like Black Panther, Cloak and Dagger, and the Netflix series wouldn't have been the same otherwise or even happened at all. Hasbro buying PR, and having such friendly relations with Paramount and Lionsgate is very beneficial to the brand as a whole. As is their closeness to Marvel/Disney. So because of this, we could see some interesting material and stronger investments happen. Better toys, and also having wider outlets, and also wider rights to intermingle them with like Rom, Micronauts, or Visionaries. Hasbro also currently has more in-house development outlets for entertainment licenses too, and is broadening their reach with video game companies. All extremely promising things for PR to have access to long term as it means wider inclusion in material and more diverse material to be made. |

Look for all I know this could usher in a new golden age for Power Rangers, and that would be awesome. That said I still feel like I need to be a little critical, that is just the type of fan I am. If you aren't then that is fine, I have no right to dictate that. |

Again I am not saying you shouldn't be exciting for the possibilities. Plus I will admit a lot of this critical thought is due to my worldview. That said I think being skeptical of corporate maneuvers is a good trait. |
May be now Hasbro & Shout can put out a 5th Megaset of
Samurai Super Samurai Megafore Super Megaforce Dino Charge Dino Super Charge Ninja Steel Ninja Super Steel. |
Will Hasbro work with Bandai of Japan when it comes to toys for shared development/engineering? Or will they develop everything on their own so as to not damage the relationship with Takara

Hasbro's licensing deal with Disney is up for renewal in a couple years. There's a real possibility they lose both Marvel and Star Wars. With the Transformers movie no longer raking in the cash, and the rest of the "Hasbro Universe" DOA, Power Rangers is something Hasbro needs to succeed, possibly even survive. There's also the "nowhere to go but up" aspect. Bandai America has been doing a lousy job. Even a mediocre Hasbro effort would be an improvement. |
Power Rangers is still co-license with Toei. Hasbro may not have full control over everything with PR. I remember Disney never did neither back in the 2000's.

Well, that's just Prime
Get it? |

That said, I imagine Hasbro will do their own engineering. This...may not be a good thing. Hasbro has a track record of not doing Transformers designs well when Takara isn't there to lend their expertise. Brian Chapman is the Head of Design. Depending on who they hire to work on engineering underneath him (John Warden is the Transformers senior design manager, BTW), I'm slightly afraid we may end up with a few dumpster fires before we get things properly made. |
