Transformers they've owned the license for since it started and can have worked on for however long they want. They also blatantly say it takes a year from concept to full version for those and that's before it's mass produced and reaches retail. So these figures you're seeing now, started work on them last year, if not even farther back. From when we hear about them, to when we see them doesn't mean a lot of work hasn't already gone into it. Take for example a thrilling 30 interview one takara designer did, and work he mentioned was stuff that literally didn't hit shelves until almost 2 years later. Some even longer.
Power Rangers they've had the license for less than 3 months. And could not technically start working on them until they had the actual license. Otherwise it looks extremely shady unless it was anything more than a test sample to show Saban why they should accept the offer to buy the toy license which then led to buying the full rights. So production cycles wouldn't match up to being able to show any reveals as yet. At most they barely have a workable prototype/sculpt, and at the least, likely sketches and wave/case assortment plans and some art work stuff. Nothing tangible really yet to show. But they do want to build hype for fans by having a presence at SDCC which now owning the full rights lets them have access to the wider prop inventory to draw on.
Comparing a recent acquisition to something that's been in house owned from the very start really isn't that smart or even a valid comparison.
At most, we'd see minor retools of something pre-existing that wouldn't take long for turnover, but that'd only be on action figures, not any Zords. The turnover would be too fast. 6 months minimum for a reduced engineering one that's not a pre-existing mold retool(and even that's really pushing it and scary fast). Even the figures, unless they hurriedly retooled a blank body Marvel legend figure or GI Joe figure which wouldn't be any kind of indication of a final product, again not likely. Toy Fair on the other hand they need retailers to see the material for the orders that spring. Same as they'd need to start building hype for that in the Fall/early Winter.
So it's too early for SDCC reveals for their product line. NYCC maybe. Toy Fair they have to though since that's for retailers.
