Wow! I'd assume Mattel would have made a run for the license and Hasbro would have avoided it as competing product to Transformers. Guess I would have lost money on the bet.

Hoping Bandai finishes up with the Shogun Megazord this year. That would be a fantastic ending to Legacy.
Also hoping Hasbro ditches the whole Zord Builder concept and just works to bring toys that are comparable to the BoJ product. My guess is that they'll be less shy about breaking the $35 Megazord rule and may go $45-50 with better quality. |

Hello all, long time lurker, first time posting.
I honestly think that if Hasbro were to make a 6" scale figure collection, they should do it similarly to the Legacy as in mixing the Ranger and the teams they come from, but make the wave give us a solid BAF like Goldar, Lord Zedd... basically MMPR villains to stay on the safe. I think what hurt the legacy line was not only the mix of figures, but also the fact that they are also breaking up the BAFs. This give some collectors no incentive to buy PRIS Yellow if they don't care about PRIS to begin with. But, if she came with let's say Goldar's torso, well you have to get her now if you really want that Goldar. Also the pay off of buy a wave a of figures and having another figure to put together. I don't mind being patient, but it kind of sucks wondering if it's going to be 5 or 6 months before you finally get that leg you need to complete Mega Zord A, while still having Megazord B and C not completed. Also the inclusion of weapons, which I don't think that will be a problem for Hasbro, alternate hands, and maybe an alternate civilian head, I don't think collectors would have a problem buying MMPR figures again, but I personally would like to see a line attempt to make every ranger in the same style and scale. |

My problems with Hasbro's corporate nature aside, I can see this diluting the Power Ranger toy image even more. I may only be speaking for myself, but what got me to love Power Rangers toy wise was that it wasn't like anything else out. I am not just talking about the Zords either. The auto-morphin figures were awesome. The "plastic chogokin" figures were unlike anything I had ever played with, my Red Battle Borg is still one of favorite toys. Let's not forget the roleplay toys which is weird they aren't a more prominent aspect of other toylines.
That said Hasbro will probably treat action figure collectors decently, no doubt getting to more fan demanded and obscure characters quicker than Bandai. But I hope they keep a firm eye on their kids line, because first and foremost I want kids to love Power Rangers. |

A lot of people seem to think that the switch is going to mean the end of the legacy line, but I have a feeling Hasbro is going pick up right where Bandai left off.
Hasbro is not dumb. aside from all of the kid toys they will inevitably produce, I have a feeling they've been watching Bandai America fumble with the legacy 6.5in figures from afar. The 6.5 in figures would be right up their ally. Several series of the same body more or less with different paint applications, new boots, gloves and helmets and accessories. This is essentially what they do with Marvel Legends and Star Wars and they know for a fact they can do it better and get it out to more people. Not to mention look how they've been stepping up their role playing items for Marvel legends... Yeah Power Rangers is in good hands and while the legacy line may change... it's not going anywhere. My fingers are crossed for Marvel legends styled Power Ranger figures( with appropriate sculpts accessories and good build a figures), articulated transformable megazords from more seasons than just MMPR and most importantly better distribution across the whole line. |

Let's hope they make their female Rangers better and please Shartimus by adding double elbow joints.
On a serious note, yeah. Please make your female Rangers as articulated as the male Rangers, even though most of them will have terrible leg articulation thanks to the stupid skirts they add to their suits. |

Also I could be wrong, but has any one noticed in the Power Ranges hasbro press image that way, way in the back you can see images of Super Sentai teams. I could be wrong, but I feel like I can spot the Pink and Green rangers from GoRanger, the White Swan Ranger from Jetman, the Clover King Green Ranger from JAKQ and the Red Ranger from Fiveman among others.
Man would I love to see a Marvel Legends styled figure line that actually goes deep into the Super Sentai eras. |

Since it’s Bandai America that lost the license, I hope Hasbro just takes Bandai Japan’s Sentai Toys and Bring em to the states without the hefty import tag.
