Haven't seen any toys yet but Tommy's suit is in a case with a loop of footage running next to it. Pretty cool.

So what's going on with that Akiba Red on the screen there? Is Hasbro meming with that gif, or do they have something crazy up their sleeve?

Dude I would be all for a US adaptation of Akibaranger!
Also correct me if I’m wrong but that appears to be the scene from White Light Part 2 where Tommy as White Ranger first debuted on the tv.

Might be too early for that still. Production cycles are a little bit longer than the few months they've had. 6 months minimum tbh since it's mostly basic action figure things, and even that's a rush job. They've barely had 3 months now if even. We may not see anything until Toy fair next year. Maybe NYCC if we're lucky.

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. Last edited by Librarian; 07-18-2018 at 11:05 PM.. |

This feels like they were under-represented tonight! I honestly thought that something was coming for us, and yet this feels...underwhelming!
Even if newer figures are not ready for display, show some videos with prototypes or describe what the toyline will entail and how things will interact with each other! Also, couldn't they have displayed some of the remaining Super Ninja Steel product (assuming they have the rights to do so from Bandai)!? Almost every other franchise was represented in some capacity, but that just wasn't to be for P.R.! NOT A GOOD START, HASBRO!!! YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS!!! P.S.: Kinda curious why they were advertising MMPR White Ranger with video footage! Technically speaking, the 25th Anniversary Debut of the White Ranger is NEXT YEAR, so does the bland representation here...mean something Hasbro isn't telling us, or was that just to say "Got no new toys, but look at this pretty suit and show footage you've seen for over 20 years!"? |
