But given less than 5 years, it'll become a mainstay franchise brand under hasbro that's pulling in big bucks. Hasbro and Toei have big plans coming up. Sit back, and enjoy the ride. Power Rangers is about to become cool again. So get ready to put your shades on~
It'd be smart for Mega Construx and other extended brand partners to take advantage of it though.
Initial hiccups are expected though and won't impact the brand as a whole much. 2019 is considered a "transitional year" with sales picking up in later quarters anyway, especially with the winter holiday shopping point, but major expectations aren't going to start filtering in until likely year 3 of their acquisition. Years 1 and 2 are build up, with sustaining revenues from wider licensing and ad revenues with some direct merchandise avenues too. With Hasbro owning it all. Unlike Bandai/Saban, they get all the revenues outside of the Toei royalties.
But general "threshold bars" won't be implemented on the show itself until year 2 or 3, with likely more on year 3. Lightning collection is wider brand/franchise based so its release in Q2 or 3, has to sustain itself enough. But Beast Morphers material has a grace period on its 'normal lines'.
Power Rangers is a long term investment. Immediate returns aren't expected yet fully, though royalties are already coming in from wider licensing, and the true value of the brand is what it can become under their hand in the coming years. So 2019 will be good, but a little rocky. With 2020 and 2021 building better, with 2022 and 2023 extremely strong years, and 2023 forward keeping the momentum going.
In general, this what makes Beast Morphers interesting though too. As brand years go, this one has the most freedom to focus on story and character development. Which could prove well for the show as a whole.
The series after will keep momentum. Then we get into the 30th, as well as the next movie, and everything after is "let's get ready to rumble" style epic to keep the hype going. They're seemingly adapting brand blueprint to it, so this bodes well for wide media with great action, strong endearing characters, and heart string pulling/emotion stirring heartfelt stories. And we will get comic based toys too. Hasbro has never been shy about that in their other brands. Including Transformers where Generations ran sustaining on IDW designs from T30 all the way through CW.
1. Mega Construx is Mattel, not Hasbro.
2. Now that you bring up IDW, seeing as we have no PR comic info for March which is the rumored date for Boom Studios to lose the PR comic rights, it's possible IDW will be getting PR comics next year as well. Seeing as IDW does comics for every other Hasbro franchise. Also the fact the IDW Hasbro comic Universe is going to be rebooting soon, and the PR comics are in the middle of their rebooting, it would be the prefect time to move PR to IDW. And from what I seen online Beyond the Grid is not doing that great, and fans aren't pleaseed about having to read Go Go so they can read something about the MMPR team when they want to read about the MMPR team after Shattered Grid. So yeah I can see PR comics moving to IDW next year.
